My Finished BC-250 Build
First off, here is the case: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1249298
I have made some modifications to mine, mostly in terms of slight scaling increase to fit my PSU, modifying the front panel to accept my power button, and cut down the original fan shroud/mount smaller so that you can actually see the BC-250 itself which was otherwise 95% hidden behind it. There's been no change in thermals and if anything it's better.
This case has an awesome design to route some of the air behind the board to cool the ram and vent out the top of the other side of the case. It effectively vents air on 3 sides - front, rear, opposite side. With a 2ghz OC on the GPU, max temps under max GPU and CPU load was about 81C, but in games like Cyberpunk 2077, observed temps are like 61C.
Overall I'm really happy with the way this project came out and the BC-250 itself is a hell of a lot of fun to play with.
Currently running official SteamOS which has been fine so far. Aside from the 2ghz OC, any other tweaks that any of you think are worth exploring?

I Compiled My Windows-Styled Tycoon Game to Run in Linux
Game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. I started using Linux full-time maybe about 6 months ago, so instead of switching to Windows (🤢) to compile test builds, I figured I may as well just give the game full on Linux support.

Single prefix
is it possible to just use single prefix for all of my games? i think it can free up some space, then use different prefix if some games need special components/tweaks.

Accessing a Boot file created in Proton?
I started playing Osu, and it's been fun, but when I installed it I installed it by adding the installer exe to Steam and enabling Proton, but this means the new runner for the game is in some file somewhere that I don't know, and don't know how to access. How might I add that file to my Steam Library so I don't have to go through the installer each time?
(I'm on Bazzite if it makes a difference)

I guess I'm old
I find the argument that Linux is too hard for gaming argument amusing. I started gaming when most PCs had less than 1 meg of RAM (640K usable and 384K for system usage) available to use and we had to twist ourselves into pretzels with custom CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for just about any game you got.
Figuring out if you hardware would even run it, any special drivers for your video card, and memory utilization were often done through trial and error. Piracy was rampant so if you couldn't get it to run, there was no taking a game back to the store. The web didn't exist back then so we used bulletin boards to try to find solutions if we were lucky enough to have a modem.
Seeing the complaints about trying to get a game to run on Linux is just funny and sad.

NVIDIA Optimizes Printing Of Linux Memory Stats For 11% System Time Savings
How is performance on a 4070 + 12600k combo (more detail inside)
Hey all
Ripping out a 500 GB drive from laptop tomorrow, so I can finally throw Bazzite or CachyOS onto my 256 GB NVME this weekend. Still currently need Windows for some anti cheat games and software unfortunately, so it'll be going on the 500GB.
However, planning to get an MSI Claw, Steamdeck or RoG Ally in spring so I can go full Linux on desktop (with exception of specific software)
Just wondering if anyone has the same PC specs as me (or close) and can give me a summary of how games perform.
A quick breakdown:
RTX 4070, 12600k, 32 GB DDR4.Tri monitor setup. Only peripheral software is Logitech Ghub.
I play shooters at 100FPS 1440p and am more than ok with 60 FPS 1440p for everything else as long as the gameplay is smooth with no hiccups.
I also have a 2 TB NVME dedicated to steam games and another 1 TB SSD which will be dedicated to software and such on the Linux side. As mentioned earlier, the 500 GB SSD will contain Windows, specific software and anti cheat games.
Still on Win 10 thanks to ESU, but want to be Linux migrated for 98% of my gaming before summer
Also down the line; I might swap my 4070 for an AMD card, but that's TBD based on my health.
Thank you for any and all help, and have a great day
Cheers

Stellar blade denuvo trigger after changing proton version
Well, just wanted to share this, I have never experienced something like this, after changing proton version a couple times, as I was trying the new dlss version and testing some things, denuvo triggered and I got this error and I did some research and it turns out that I need to wait 24hrs to see if I can play the game, I know Linux is not officially supported and I know now that changing proton versions counts as different installs apparently, but man this was a good lesson to learn, I didn’t like denuvo before but now I get it lol.

Need help modding Graveyard Keeper on Linux (BepInEx + Bottles)
I’m running Graveyard Keeper on an old HP i5 laptop with no dedicated GPU.
OS: Pop!_OS (Linux) I installed a repack of the game using Bottles. The game runs fine at around 30 FPS, which I’m completely okay with.
Now I want to add some quality-of-life mods, mainly things like longer days, less exhaustion, and quick save.
I downloaded a few mods from Nexus Mods. One of them is a longer days mod, but it requires BepInEx and GYK Helper.
The problem is that BepInEx doesn’t seem to work inside the same bottle where the game is installed.
The game launches normally without mods, but once I try setting up BepInEx, nothing loads or the mod just doesn’t get detected.
Has anyone here successfully used BepInEx mods with Graveyard Keeper on Linux, especially through Bottles?
Is there something specific I need to configure in the bottle (runner, DLL overrides, folder structure, launch options, etc.)?
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks 🙏
