Trying to run
Max payne on popos, well it wouldnt run thru wine or play on linux. I then tried lutris and it i nstalls and runs but when i get in the game the sound is laggy and jittery sounding and the mouse movement is super fast, turned some mouse settings down but any touch to the mouse has the character spinning insanely fast. Does anybody know what i need to do to get the game dialed in? I been wanting to leave windows and migrate over to linux but one of the challenges is getting some of these windows games to work

RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM RAY TRACING PROBLEM
With using ray tracing either normal or high the objects are flickering and shimmering like how you see on the vid, but the problem is only on ray tracing not path tracing which i think is weird.
I've Tried different protons still the same, and tried the new one with the heaps update and the game boots with black screen but i hear the audio and the game running.
My System :
OS: cachyos 6.19.6-2
Ryzen 5 7600
32GB RAM
RTX 5060 TI 16GB
Driver version: 595.45.04
note: I've also tried 580 drivers same problem, i didn't try the 590 cuz it has this weird artifacts.

Gaming on panther lake
So I got me an msi prestige 14 with a spanking new Panther lake chip. Toyed a bit with it on windowsand was rather impressed but i was pretty adamant on switching to Linux because of my profound dislike of windows, especially as of late.
However after almost a month and the 3rd distro I'm kind of regretting it.
I'm on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS because that's the only one where the device was operable (previous distros i tried were lacking sound or wifi or multiple things, 2 weeks of troubleshooting couldn't do it). Still no accelerometer nor fingerprint reader but this can wait.
I understand this is one of the disadvantages of early adoption but I don't think the drivers are still there. And gaming much less so.
My assumption is vulkan because I've tried with multiple proton versions and every 3d game i play exhibits the same issues:
Crazy visual glitches with shaders and lighting malfunctioning, geometry popping and vertex explosions, and worst, memory leaks which start after playing for 10-20 mins.
So this makes gaming, one of my main drivers, pretty ass.
Anyone else with the same device or soc is also running linux and how is it working for you if so? Any tips to make it ..work?
Any news of kernel/drivers updates for it will come? I run update && upgrade every day but nothing has improved over the last couple weeks.
Any news on when this distro ver. Will become more stable (it's still dev iirc)
Thanks for the help and tips in advance

Testing SteamOS in a VM without a Steam Deck
I was curious about experimenting with SteamOS (the one used on the Steam Deck), but I don't actually own a Steam Deck.
At first I thought I would need the hardware to test it properly, but it turns out you can actually run it inside a virtual machine and explore the whole environment safely.
The main challenge for me was figuring out:
- how to get the SteamOS recovery image working in a VM
- how to configure QEMU with UEFI firmware
- how to create the virtual disk properly
- how to get SteamOS to boot and run without breaking things
After some trial and error I documented the full process step by step. It covers things like creating the QCOW2 disk, attaching OVMF for UEFI boot, installing SteamOS, and even switching from Game Mode to the desktop environment so you can test things more freely.
If anyone here wants to experiment with SteamOS without touching their main system, this might help: Running SteamOS on QEMU/KVM
I’ve also previously tested single GPU passthrough on a QEMU VM with Windows 11, which worked successfully, and I documented that on my blog as well. My next step will be trying single GPU passthrough with SteamOS.
If any advanced users here have already experimented with GPU passthrough on SteamOS VMs, I’d be interested in hearing about your experience.

I rebooted while compiling linux-lqx kernel, tried to fix it and now it doesn't even recognizes live boot (Arch Linux)
I5-4460 with 16gigs of ram, 240GB SSD drive, 500GB HDD drive. Arch Linux Btrfs
I was compiling linux-lqx via yay and while it was going on, it started to post "directory not found" errors, then in a bad choice i closed the terminal, pacman started failing with (Device has no storage left) then i rebooted and, kde is no more
I managed to log via tty and df -i showed 0 inodes in everything, i tried to fix it by myself, and now as i said my live boot drive is not even being recognized (my laptop with windows also doesn't)
for some reason now when i boot in my ssd i can access "rootfs", i need help.
What do i do? i cant post any logs but i need help, thanks in advance!

I need help
I am currently trying to install xpadneo and I’ve probably got everything (triple checked) and each time I’ve input the command to install it I get the message “unable to locate package clone” and “unable to locate package https://github.com/atar-axis” secure boot is off as well.
Controller keeps connecting and disconnecting.

"Support" for AI development on this subreddit of all things was not what I expected.
Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."
Does somebody know what flags are used in the compilation of Linux Zen for CachyOS?
I was thinking of compiling it myself but then i did remember that CachyOS does use some optimization flags in some things in their repo, then i just did want to know if it would not be a waste of time to do the menuconfig thing again. I don't mean to say i hate doing the kernel configuration, it's just that i've been without much energy for some days. Thank you

hi all, i have recently switched from windows to nobara linux and am trying to use my thrustmaster t500rs, so far i have gotten it to register the inputs properly and show up in oversteer using tmdrv but the center spring is stuck on (would usually be changed in the thrustmaster control panel app) does anyone know how to fix this?

Poker Night at the inventory (2026 remaster) keeps crashing after a while spent in game.
obs-vkcapture command question
The github for obs-vkcapture says:
Start the game with capture enabled obs-gamecapture %command%.
(Recommended) Start the game with only Vulkan capture enabled env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 %command%.
Why is the second one recommended? Doesn't obs-gamecapture %command% automatically decide whether to use vulkan or opengl depending on the game engine? Is it prone to errors or something? I'm just wondering because I play a mix of old and new games and I'd rather not check each time if I should be using Vulkan or OpenGL for something. Is there any downside to just using obs-gamecapture in general instead of specifying OBS_VKCAPTURE=1?

Resident Evil 4 stuck on launching
Since Resident Evil 9 released, I've been watching my girlfriend play and it made me want to give Resident Evil 4 another shot and play it, but I've been stuck on launching everytime I try to open. I've tried Proton-GE, Proton-CachyOS, Proton-Experimental, changing environment variables, and reinstalling. Is there something else I can try that might fix this?
If it helps, I am running on an NVIDIA GPU with 580xx drivers.

Discord Screenshare Drops Game FPS Considerably
Hey all, made the switch to Bazzite yesterday from Windows 11 and have been loving it so far besides this one issue. Whenever i screenshare a game to friends over discord, whether i'm using their official linux application or even tested with Vesktop, my frames on games drop a considerable amount, sometimes even half (from 180 to 90 on 80 on certain games). I've tested this on Overwatch, Mewgenics, and Resident Evil requiem and it's the same problem across these different games. I've tried troubleshooting steps like disabling hardware acceleration and restarting the client, have tried games in both fullscreen and borderless windowed mode, and still just screen sharing at all tanks my fps like I'd never seen on Windows before.
Specs:
Operating System: Bazzite 43
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.2

Just Cause 4 and Linux problem
Just Cause 4 is giving me a lot of trouble with regular freezes (deadlock from Proton log err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0000000035DE7E40 "?" wait timed out in thread 0160, blocked by 0138, retrying (60 sec))
I tried a ton of different launch options, clocking down ram speed 3600 > 3433, different proton v. (7.0-6, 8.0-5, 9.0-4, Hotfix, Experimental, Proton-GE 10-32 etc) but a completely freezeless gaming sessions seems not possible. If you play in Linux without regular freezes or crashes i would love some input or ideas how to get to that point. I am simply out of ideas and almost ready to accept that the game will just inevitably freeze after some time ( usually 40-90mins).
If you of other subs or sites where i could find some answers that would help as well.
My setup for reference:
- Kubuntu 25.10
- Ryzen 5 5600XT
- RX 7600 OC 8GB
- 32GB 3600MT/s Ram
