Other News about gaming on Linux
Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing way longer than planned
Here’s the link if anyone wants to see what I’m talking about.
No pressure, just sharing what I enjoyed about it.

How to use lsfg-vk for games installed through Epic Games Store on Lutris?
A small upgrade
Would it make sense for me for me switch from my 3070 to something like a 7700 xt/7800 xt?
Started using linux this week (fedora) and it's been great (besides one issue early on which was fixed with a reinstall)
i know that AMD GPUs tends to play so much nicer with linux then nvidia, i have had my 3070 for 5 years now and gpu prices are gonna go up in price from the looks for things.
does it make sense to get something like 7700 xt or 7800 xt for the sake of smoother usage, better performance from better drivers and possibly having getting a gpu with less use the my current one before prices possibility skyrocket?

I face a consistent issue when it comes to playing on a Linux Mint, CachyOS, LMDE 7
Hello everyone. I am rather new to Linux, and long story short, I wanted to ditch Windows and move on from it. I am fed up with Windows and have no desire to get back to it. Having Linux for me is a must.
Now, to get to the actual issue: every time I tried to play Elden Ring Nightreign on Linux Mint, Linux Mint Debian Edition and CachyOS, I face this one and only singular issue that seems to persist. Random freezes, extremely buggy games when booting them up in windowed mode borderless.
Random freezes that make the game a chore to play especially on Linux Mint and LMDE 7. This applies to CachyOS too.- The game freezes up after a while. I am able to hear the sounds from the game in the background. Running the game in fullscreen seems to fix this temporarily. It runs fine for a while, however I face a total system freeze after some time.
- The Easy Anti-Cheat pop-up freezes and I am unable to close it. It remains plastered on my screen, and I cannot find myself able to even click the small window that would allow me to close it. A picture below.
Relating to more exclusive Linux Mint and LMDE 7 bugs:
I face the same issues as above, and a very terrible framerates of 25-45 FPS, with the occasional spike to 60FPS. The framerate remains stable, however once I go online, it immediately drops in the mid 20s and low 30s. Why that is, I do not know.
CachyOS allows me to reach a constant of 60 FPS, and when it is working properly without the freezes, the frames are never an issue.
System specs can be found here:

Roblox optimised for afk
I am using Sober to afk in roblox, and I have noticed that my machine is consuming more energy than I am willing to allocate, about 2x more than what it consumes to afk in Minecraft. I have tried all the in game settings I can find, but still not much change. Is there any other options that can get me to save a bunch of energy usage?

how to fix wine prefix registry and joystick
i finally switched to mint and one of first things i tried was installing DCS world. i dowloaded proton, wine, lutris ETC, installed DCS throught lutris and it runned fine, but i had problem with my STECS throttle, like 90% of the buttons on it didnt worked. in jstest, both joystick and throttle worked flawlesly, reading out all axises and buttons without problem, but in game i couldnt map buttons from the STECS. after several hours of digging i found [pretty much only tutorial on similar subject that tried to do something about that and offered any solution](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/xil6ra/joystick\_axes\_missing\_in\_games/?embed\_host\_url=https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/how-to-configure-joystick-vkb-when-running-on-linux-steam.641125/) so i tried that. after making mentioned changes in wine regedit game completly stopped recognizing both joystick and throttle. i have no idea how to fix that. i cannot fix nor revert it at all. jstest still sees them without problem, developer configuration software on quickemu windows dont, neither does game itself. i dont have any idea what to do anymore with it

Why is it so difficult to get things setup?
TLDR: Do install/setup scripts exist for initial setup, new prefixes, etc.? I want to be dumb.
Background: I've been dual booting Windows and Mint for many years, with Windows being for gaming and Mint for everything else. I also have multiple family members who use Windows, mostly for gaming but sometimes other stuff.
Problem: I'm trying to finally take the plunge to go full on Linux, but trying to go with Zorin due to it's closeness to Windows and it's pretty, and I want to replace all Windows devices with the same distro, which this seems like it'd be easy for everyone else to adopt.
One thing I need to have work is games. Some of these are steam, some non-steam, some legit, some standalone exe/msi installs. I've spent a few days going through the paces of trying to learn this all and quite honestly, it feels overly complex. I understand people have preferences (steam, heroic, lutris), different setups (wine, proton), flatseal, guis, one off command lines, etc. and some things will run 2% faster if I do XYZ vs ABC. Sure there will be differences, but making it easy to setup and use will help drive adoption, and let those of us who don't need the extra 1 FPS to use it easily.
Help: I'm trying to understand, is there an easier way to do this for the general user? I could script up some stuff to automate this setup, but that means I need to learn all the different tools and how they integrate. I've done exploration already and can get things to work, it's just really tedious IMO and not clear if this is the general setup or I just followed some outdated guide. Should I use Proton or Wine-GE? Proton is sold as "for steam", but also comes with things like DXVK. Can I just use it for everything, or do I need to also use Wine-GE for non-steam games, and then install extra stuff like DXVK? Do people run `WINEPREFIX winecfg` from terminal for their standalone stuff or do they do something else?
I really want to leave Windows, and have heard that Linux is pretty much there in terms of parity (through tools like Wine/Proton/etc.). Through my attempt of setting this up though, I see the big thing missing is ease of use. So I'm basically looking for help in that area.

PS4 Controller on Linux
I was using DS4Windows on my pc with windows to make my pc think I was using a wired PS4 controller so I could get the PS controller button prompts.
I play ARC Raiders and Pal World with a ps4 controller and both games have wired ps4 controller support, just not wireless.
Is there a way to do the same on linux? I've seen ds4drv. Does it emulate a wired ps4 controller?

Cyberpunk 2077 bad performance with ray tracing on RX 9060 XT
As the title says, ray tracing is working poorly on arch linux with RX 9060 XT.
On Windows 11, I get around 100 fps with RT on and FSR4, while on Linux, I get around 50-60 with constant stuttering on same settings.
If I turn RT off, I get identical fps on both (over 150 fps), so it's specifically a problem related to ray tracing.
Is this normal and can it be solved?

I must've messed up somewhere in the process because i cannot get the terminal with the GUI to show up or anything at all. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help

My cpu runs slower when gaming on linux
I have a dell G16 (I9-13900hx, 4060 and 32Gb RAM) and i tried using Kubuntu on it multiple times but i always face performance issues and i just give up, basically while playing any game (mostly running through wine) my cpu frequency is stuck on 2400mhz while my cpu can go all the way to 5400mhz.
i think the issue is related to power plan but i read somewhere that 6.15 kernel will extend thermal control support and even after that it's still the same.
i wanted to see if others faced the same issue and if it's my distro choice fault or my laptop just doesn't work on linux.
