still having the glitch in metaphor, was hoping for more help?
here are some things (probably listed in mangohud) that might be useful to figuring out my issue
proton ge 10-28 (it has this issue regardless of version i try)
cachyos
32gb ddr5
r9 9950x3d
rx 9070 xt (though i had the same issue on my old rig with an rx 5500 so i doubt hardware is relevant)
mesa 25.3.3
and i havent installed metaphorfix, it didnt seem like it would be relevant but maybe i completely misinterpreted

Seriously considering dual booting WIndows/Linux
Lets preface this by I have been using windows all my life, and Windows 11 since release and never had issues until recently. These last few months have had nothing but bugs on the same system that was running fine before. Windows explorer constantly crashes (at least a couple times every few hours), even on a fresh install (Full drive whipes) which I did last month.
I am considering running Linux as my main OS and a windows partition for the certain games that wont work on Linux (e.g. Destiny 2, Battlefield 6, for example)
I am a self thought programmer so I would probably also be using the Linux side as my development environment too, luckily the editors I use are cross platform. How is Linux gaming now days? And would I encounter any issues with my system (see specs below). I have a NVidia GPU and unfortunately need to stay with it because I also do some 3D modeling as a hobby as well and pretty much all of the 3D software benefit from Nvidia more.
[PC Specs]
CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X
GPU: RTX 4080 Super
RAM: 64 GB DDR5 (in this Ramagetton, luckily built this pc beginning of 2025 before the memory shortage)
Storage: 6TB NVME (1x 4tb, 1x 2tb)

How can I fix this?
I did a clean Linux install like 45 different times and steam always does this on anything but gnome but I don't like gnome. Anyone know how I can fix this? And I tried to call steam support but they had no answers so I figured reddit was my best bet.

Wine 11.0 - Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
dualsense working on steam fix
steam input stealing has been making my dualsense not work at all on windows 11 for years and also on linux that I have swapped to due to windows rx 6000 driver support ending, and finally I can play more games on dualsense than poe2 with xinput on ps button glyphs. no longer do you have to lobotomize your dualsense controller and except the fact that it will never have any features or show the correct buttons on screen.
here are some steps:
step 1: run terminal, enter command: lsusb (spelled Lsusb if you are on a dumb font)
step 2: read with your eyeballs, and do this with the dualsense controller plugged in, I use wired, BT can be weird. you should see the sony dualsense controller, and a device ID. mine was" 054c:0ce6".
step 3: go to main steam directory config folder (default: ./home/.local/share/steam/config)
step 4: open config.vdf with gedit or something
step 5: go to end of file and enter this line of code before the last "}":
"controller_blacklist" "054c/0ce6" quotes included, replace numbers with what you got for your controller with lsusb command. the colon ":" is a separation for 2 numbers, the config file just wants a "/" instead of that.
step 6: save and relaunch steam
step 7: done, you have blacklisted steam from detecting your controller through hardware ID on any usb port forever unless that edit is removed from the config. all games directly interact with your dualsense now. if the game doesn't support dualsense, use a different controller. have a fun time :)

Slay the spire busted (PopOS Cosmic)
Not sure if anyone else has had this. It worked afaik before cosmic update. I've tried the following settings:
Proton Experimental (This): Mod Launcher works
Proton Hotfix: Same
Steam Linux Runtime: Loads but mod manager crashes.
I've tried switching X11 compatibility between "Optimize for Gaming" and "Max Compatibility", and switching Fullscreen/Borderless. Going fullscreen in Proton causes it to crash on boot.
Not sure why this is even an issue, I know STS is easily compatible on my deck.

Update to RADV and ACO enables compiling parts of raytracing pipelines separately for big performance increase
Certain Hytale menus fail to re-center cursor.
Hello! As stated, certain menus in Hytale, such as the radial Z menu, will fail to re-center the cursor around 50% of the time. It happens exclusively in fullscreen, as I haven't been able to reproduce that in windowed mode. Other menus, such as the inventory screen, appear to work perfectly and will consistently re-center the cursor, no matter what.
I'm on Arch Linux, running KDE Wayland. Hytale is running from flatpak (with wayland). My system:
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d
- AMD Radeon 7800xt
- Mesa 25.3.3
I've tried to force it into borderless mode, the kwin window rule either failed me or it didn't work if the window renders on the top level. As far as configurations, my setup is pretty bog standard, I haven't exported any fancy variables. Cruising on whatever gets auto picked up/set by SDDM.

Need help figuring out Magic the Gathering Shandalar running .cv error
As the title suggests, I am trying to run Magic the Gathering Shandalar through Lutris and Wine programs when I run into this error message. The game has issues with the text glitching out and causing issues. Also, when I am in-game when I click to move somewhere my character doesn't stop moving in that direction.
I am on PopOS version 22.04 LTS x86_64, using a Dell Inc. 0M6C7G (Aoo) computer. My Kernel is 6.17.9-76061709-generic. My shell is bash 5.1.16 . My CPU is an Intel i9-10900F (20) @ 5.200GHz and my GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.
The version of Lutris I am using is 0.5.19, and for running options I have tried both Ge-Proton (Latest) and wine-ge-8-26-x86_64. The Lutris I am using is I believe a flatpak.
Here is a log for the game when running the Wine version
https://pastes.io/started-in
As far as I can tell, this is Magic the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers Version 3.0 from January 14th 1998. Any help would be greatly appreciated

(Windows ist keine Option, da bin ich gerade weg von)
Danke vorab!

Do I really need the launcher?
I know that Epic Games on a weekly basis offers games for free. if i were to scoop one up for myself, would I still need to install the Epic Games launcher just to play the game(s) I purchased from the Epic Store?

Trouble with new version of Goverlay
I'm running Cachyos and Hyprland with a 9800x3d and a 9700xt. I have the new Goverlay with optiscaler setup. I used that to add optiscaler to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth so I could use FSR4 with it. However, even though I don't have the auto enable turned on in goverlay, and I didn't add the fgmod argument to Steam for Horizon Zero Dawn, it is still activating Optiscaler in that game,when I don't want to use it. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this or how to disable it on games I don't want to use it on?

Did new Nvidia drivers permanently break my graphics card?
EDIT: I'll give the person who helps me permanently solve this a $50 gift card or whatever of equivalent value. I'm fairly confident I'm going to end up spending over 1k on a AMD replacement at this point anyway.
CPU: AMD 5600X
Mboard: Gigabyte X570 Gaming S
GPU: Geforce 3090
Distro: Arch
I've been battling this issue since mid December. Around the 14th, I updated. I hadn't updated for a couple weeks ish. After booting, I started getting severe lag spikes when opening graphical applications (eg Firefox/Steam) and after ~8 seconds it would sometimes stabilise. Gaming was not possible, with frequent periodic stuttering.
I managed to fix it by reverting all the drivers back to 580.95.05. Eventually I had to update, but I haven't been able to fix the issue. I tried all of the things. I've been gaming on Linux for 10+ years so I'm not a noob at all. I can not fix it. I can't even get it to work again rolling back the drivers.
The suspicion is it's my graphics card dying BUT before updating I was gaming fine, even in VR for hours at a time, and had absolutely zero problems until the update to latest.
To eliminate ALL factors, I ran EndeavourOS live, which has the latest Nvidia drivers packaged with it. Issue exists there. So it's not my OS, config, drivers, or anything. I've also installed Mint and Endeavour, same thing. Updated my mboard BIOS.
And now I can't get it working again by rolling back the drivers. It can't be faulty hardware, because it was fine, even under heavy VR loads, until I updated.
In desperation, I asked ChatGPT. It's.. surprisingly better than it used to be. I had one success; running these commands reduced the lag time to stabilise after opening Firefox:
sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1 sudo nvidia-smi -lgc 210,210ChatGPT is convinced that there is some setting in the GPU firmware itself, that was changed by the new drivers, that is causing the issue (like load or thermal management). But the old drivers aren't changing this back at all, and therefore the GPU is stuck like this.
I don't have a windows to test, but I might try that. Ew.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is my card mysteriously broken?
