I’ve been wanting to drop Windows for a long time, but I’ve found an issue in that I play some games that have kernel level anticheat (Riot Games games being a notorious example of that, which I admittedly indulge in.)

I’m wondering how duel booting would work in regards to this if I had my Windows OS for TPM 2.0 games, and Linux (not necessarily Bazzite) for everything else? Games and just an OS usable for everything else. YouTube, other entertainment, emulation, work, web surfing, etc.

Anybody specifically duel booting for a similar situation? I’d love some input. I don’t wanna have things break on me, so I feel the need to make a post and ask.

Thanks!

After my positive trial using my RTX 5090 FE I decided to give a try with my RX 9070 XT, paired this time, with my R7 9800 X3D, with a TDP limited to 65W.

The outcome is pretty convincing. The R7 9800 X3D allows to push to the RX 9070 XT to its limit, in contrary of the i5 12600K.

Frame Generation is not working apparently. Anyway FSR 4 Performance is working like a charm on this game!

It is a very good experience!

I switched to Linux (Kubuntu), couldn't have been more happier to move from Microslop after 20+ years

I've been wondering what apps support Linux platform? Like Virtual Desktop streamer and Classic app on steam, Pico, Oasis driver, Vive, etc.

I've had trouble installing ALVR and it was painful process and even then it couldn't work properly.

For some reason when I have multi frame gen enabled on darktide with my Nvidia card I get like "tearing" when I rotate the camera. Not your typical horizontal line tearing from vsync being off but assets seem to move at slightly different paces.

Has anyone been able to get it working 100% properly? DLSS performance, 4k, full screen.

Running through steam. Proton version doesn't seem to matter. cachyOS fully updated KDE. No weird launch options. 9800x3d CPU 5090 GPU cl26 32gb ram.

No other games experience this that I play. VRR is off on my 240hz screen as that caused tons of vrr flicker (maybe an HDMI thing?).

Hi r/linux_gaming,

Quick data post. I run a handheld gaming database (DeckAlly) that pulls benchmark data from SteamDeckHQ alongside Proton ratings, deal prices, and completion times. Pulled the performance data for 17 games tonight to see how FPS targets correlate with Proton tier:

90 fps — trivially easy on the hardware

• Balatro: 90 fps, 8h battery, Platinum, $12.74

60 fps — Platinum sweep (one Gold outlier)

• Celeste: 60 fps, 7.5h, Platinum, $4.99 (75% off)
• Hades: 60 fps, 5.5h, Platinum, $6.24 (75% off)
• Dead Cells: 60 fps, 6.5h, Platinum, $9.99 (60% off)
• Ghost Trick: 60 fps, 5h, Platinum, $9.89 (67% off)
• DREDGE: 60 fps, 3.5h, Platinum, $8.99 (64% off)
• SIGNALIS: 60 fps, 3h, Platinum, $13.98
• Buckshot Roulette: 60 fps, 4h, Platinum, $1.78
• Disco Elysium: 60 fps, 3.5h, Gold (minor config note), $7.99 (80% off)

40–50 fps — mid-range titles

• Firewatch: 40 fps, Platinum, $3.99 (80% off)
• Slime Rancher 2: 40 fps, Platinum, $25.82
• Resident Evil 2: 45 fps, 3h, Platinum, $36.39
• Persona 5 Royal: 50 fps, 4h, Platinum, $56.39

30 fps — GPU-limited AAA

• Resident Evil 4: 30 fps, 2.5h, Gold, $13.39 (67% off)
• God of War: 30 fps, 2.5h, Platinum, $19.99 (60% off)
• Stray: 30 fps, 3h, Platinum, $17.99
• Elden Ring: 30 fps, 2.5h, Gold, $52.79

Interesting pattern: Gold-rated titles cluster at 30 fps and the one 60 fps Gold (Disco Elysium) needs a one-time config tweak. Otherwise Platinum seems to track well with higher FPS ceilings. Not a hard rule — RE2 being Platinum at only 45 fps shows GPU limits matter more than Proton tier for heavier games.

Hey everyone. I'm dealing with a really annoying issue that I need help with.
I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on my PC. I'm using Arch with Hyprland, I have an RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16gb of ram.

What happens is when I start the game there's something like a 75% chance that it's gonna crash, some time between telling the computer to start the game, and when I actually load into the save. I often have to retry or fully reboot my computer multiple times before I can actually load into the game. The thing is, if I can successfully load into the game and it goes for a couple of seconds, it will play and run completely fine. I've played for many hours multiple times and never once has it crashed when I've gotten past the first few seconds of loading into a save, it's just a total crapshoot if it'll work at all when starting. I've tried a few different versions of Proton, including hotfix, experimental and GE but it's always the same issue. Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

Here are some log files I've gotten:

I've been running KUbuntu 25.10 for a few months, and I had Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 successfully running with GE-Proton 33. I just updated KUbuntu to 26.04 today; I tried running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and it's failing with the error "Impossible to create DX12 device Error 8x80070057 (DXGI Unknown)". I tried updating GE-Proton to 34, but no luck. I tried switching it to use Proton Experimental, but no luck. Steam had also downloaded an update to its runtime library. I searched online, and Google recommended using the following for launch options:

VKD3D_CONFIG="enable_experimental_features" %command% -FastLaunch

However, MS FS 2024 is still failing with the same error. Does anyone have an idea on what I could try?

I have a strange performance drop in places with a lot of npc.
GPU load drops from 70-80% to 20-35%, CPU load increases from 25% to 40%, frame rate drops to 25-30 fps. All CPU cores are loaded evenly.

The problem does not depend on resolution and performance settings.
The problem practically does not exist in online mode with a large number of players.
The problem does not clearly depend on the driver version and has been observed for six months in a roughly identical state.

The behavior is similar to CPU bottleneck. But why does the CPU load stop at 40%?

Perhaps someone has encountered a similar problem in this or another game and knows the solution? Or at least can confirm that this is a manifestation of the CPU bottleneck.

Specs:
openSUSE Tumbleweed
X11
RTX 5070Ti proprietary driver 580.126.09
I5-13600kf
32GB RAM
Game on Samsung 990 pro nvme ssd

I'm on Arch, I've installed xpadneo from AUR, and added myself to input group, yet my controller doesn't work on steam, it shows up, but steam doesn't recognize any inputs from my controller although rumble works. I'm using a Xbox One S controller.

Hi, I am considering using RPCS3. I want to know if I should use the arm64 download or the x64 dowload options for my UBUNTU 24.04.4 LTS.
I also want to know how useful it might be because I already have a playstation 3.
Thank you in advance

After the latest ~200MB update, the game is no longer launching properly for me.

It just shows a black loading screen for a few seconds and then crashes back to desktop. No error message.

System:

• OS: Pop!_OS 24.04
• GPU: AMD
• Proton version: (tried Experimental + a couple others, same issue)

This was working fine before the update, so something definitely broke.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes or workarounds?

managed to fix it:

add this to the launch options:

LD_PRELOAD="" PROTON_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORTER=1 %command%

and use proton Hotfix solved by gpt.

hope this helps someone else

Hi, I’ve just installed Linux Garuda today.

I mainly play Arc Raiders with FSR2, FluidMotionFrames 2.1 and Antilag – I’ve been doing so on Windows up until now.

Now I’ve got a problem: in Arc Raiders, I can only enable FSR, which doesn’t seem to make any difference to me at native resolution (WQHD, 180Hz).

I know Proton exists; I’ve run it under Proton Experimental with the bleeding-edge build, but I know absolutely nothing about that sort of thing or about Linux.

Is there any way to enable FSR2 and Fluid Motion? The Adrenalin software isn’t available for my distro, is it?

If there was already a thread on this, I was probably too daft to find it – please forgive me :)

Before I give all of my context on this, Id like to note my dad is the computer science engineer and he switched me to Linux (something about Windows not being good anymore, im really unsure why. I just listened!) So thats why I may seem extra clueless on working with computers.

I currently have the heroic games launcher installed which ive been using for genshin impact (looked up a flatpak install guide and followed that. Dunno what im doing)

So genshin worked, I then wanted to get honkai star rail. I had steam directly downloaded, when I went to try and play i got an error message regarding my anti cheat software not being compatible and that I could possibly be banned. Not great -- never figured that one out so I left it and used my phone.

Now today. I want to play WUWA, genshin is greedy but I need to itch my gambling needs. I have been at this damn laptop for hours. I even asked chatgpt (i know thats not ideal but every article I read kept confusing me)

Whats happening now :

When I first tried to register my account with wuwa and got directed to brave in order to use Google log in, brave was blocking the pop up. I switched to firefox, my google account is now connected.

Great! Okay but then wuwa requires age verification. Thats fine, except every time (i switched wifi, reset my laptop, tried a hotspot) I go to age verify, it says Internet connection error. GREAT.

So finally I caved and asked chatgpt im sorry guys im a psych/pre law major. Im so confused right now.

I did a few things from there, i made sure my games compatibility in proton was the latest 9.x, I restarted and hit the same error. I checked my network DNS and that was also fine, no blockage there. Theres no VPN, brave is no longer my default browser as well.

Allegedly Linux and wuwa may just not be friendly but I swear its doable. Im just not the brightest bulb in the box so if anyone could help me! Thank you guys :D

2 of the problems i have for a long time when playing cs2:

• Keyboard delay: sometimes i get typing delay bug and the problem doesnt go away until i restart laptop. When typing something on in game chat or console, my typings are lagging behind. Like, i write a statement in 5sec but it appear in chat slowly, about every second 1 letter appears.
• Sound issue: sometimes in game start or in lobby sound suddenly goes. I need to switch sound output from system settings to speakers, and switch back to headphone again to make sound work again .

And my new problem, mouse issue:

• For my first match, mouse doesnt work. i mean it works but it barely moves so i need to shutdown game and re start game to make it work normally again.

Arch linux + gnome + wayland. my launch options: "-vulkan -sdlaudiodriver pipewire"

Any help for solution?
