As the title says, I was kinda tired of having three different launchers to manage my games (all love to them tho~), so I made one that manages the stuff I use. It's built with Qt/QML and Rust as a backend (bridged via cxx-qt).

Essentially it manages wine/proton runners, DXVK/VKD3D and game launching (ofc lol). It imports steam games (locally) and installs from Epic and GOG. Plus some gachas with their delta patches so you can update them through Omikuji. (basically gachas that are runnable launcher-less, downloadable from CDN and updateable with a delta patch).

Runners are configurable through a settings.toml instead of being hardcoded, means you can add whatever proton/wine fork you want and install them through Omikuji. Library is live-reload as best as I could, for the rest I tried to make it as usable as I could.

Tho, is it usable? Yes, its still quite early, I've been working on this for a while but I surely didn't choose best UI/UX stuff everywhere, UI might still have some flaws here and there and so on, but I've been daily driving it for some time by now and it works.

I'd be really glad for any report for whoever is willingfix enough to try it, it's exhausting being your own QA. Regarding getting it, since I'm absolutely unaware how to manage packaging, its currently only available through the AUR or manually building it :P

Hello everyone,

I'm currently considering making the jump to Arch Linux, but I have some concerns regarding my hardware. I’ll be running an RTX 5090 and I’m a bit worried about the transition from Windows, specifically regarding performance and proprietary features.

As I don't have much experience with Linux drivers and gaming optimization, I'd love to get your insights on a few points:

1. Driver Stability & Performance

Since the 50 series is relatively recent, how is the current state of the Nvidia proprietary drivers on Arch? Should I expect a significant performance hit compared to Windows in heavy open-world or survival titles?

2. DLSS, Frame Gen & Ray Tracing

One of my main fears is losing access to "green team" technologies.

• Is DLSS 4/4.5 fully functional via Proton/Wine?
• What about Frame Generation and Ray Tracing?

3. Arch Linux Compatibility

I have a preference for Arch-based distributions.

• Is the "bleeding edge" nature of Arch an advantage for such recent hardware, or does it lead to frequent breakage with Nvidia updates?

I’m really eager to leave Windows behind, but I want to make sure I won't be "neutering" my GPU by doing so.

Thanks in advance for your help!

My performance on fedora kde is terrible, I've used mint and cachy in the past and the performance is great, close to 70fps on Minecraft while playing on 8 chunks, but on fedora kde I cant even get 15 while playing on 2 chunks. Does anyone know a way I could diagnose this issue or how I could possibly fix it?

Hi everyone,

can someone suggest me a good distro for my laptop Lenovo Yoga 14APH8 with a ryzen 7840HS and nvidia 4060? If possible I would like to choose which games will use the nvidia gpu or the iGPU.

I would use it mainly for playing some game through steam but I will also want to play some game like Runeterra, gog and obscure visual novel.

I would rather avoid Ubuntu/mint since they usually run older kernel releases.

I have a tuf gaming laptop, specifically the fx507vv it's an i7-13620H and an rtx 4060, and I want to switch over to linux, but I don't really know which distro would fully support the mux switch of the laptop and the gpu etc I tried bazzite and linux mint once using an external drive and on both I couldn't get the display backlight control to work , I don't know if I missed a driver, but yeah, im way Outta my depth here.

Just wanna switch to a good os.

Humans, vehicles and massive kaiju beasts collide in BeastLink, which looks like Godzilla meets Kaiju No. 8 with destructible environments.

Tried syncing this full-surface RGB desk mat with SignalRGB.

Not just edge lighting — the whole mat glows with the setup.

Looks pretty crazy in person. Would you use this on your desk?

If you were hoping to play Subnautica 2 on handhelds like the Steam Deck, you should be able to do so without much trouble at the Early Access release.

The problem seems more apparent on Helldivers 2 which gamescope can help but not fix entirely. It is present in other games but not really as affected as in helldivers 2.

Please reply with any idea you have.

I recently switched to fedora on kde plasma and my performance on games has been 1/3 of other Linux distros, when I did a benchmark in sf4 it says my graphics adapter is an RX 6700 XT, I have integrated Intel hd530 graphics, is this an issue? And if so how can I fix it.

so when you launch xcom 2 on steam, you usually get asked if you want to play the vanilla game or the war of the chosen expansion, there's also selected launch options which let you launch wotc as the default when clicking play on steam.

however, the desktop version is the vanilla game, and when i use ulauncher it shows the vanilla game.

Recently switched my gaming pc over to linux. So far so good, except this issue with HDR in STALKER 2, which I did not experience in windows when using the same in-game settings.

When moving from inside a building to outside, the game does an exposure adjustment effect that kinda simulates your eyes adjusting to the light. During that time, the sky has these crazy trippy colors that are not supposed to be there. Is there some issue with HDR implementation in Linux?

Game's running through Proton Experimental with the following launch options: gamescope --force-grab-cursor -f -w 3440 -h 1440 -r 240 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --xwayland-count 2 -- env STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 mangohud %command%
