So im currently using cachyOS, but this has happened to me using mint also. I start the game and everything runs normal until the audio from the game stops working. The only thing that seems to work its to restart the game.

Hello community

I want to build my gaming PC with Linux, but I would appreciate it if you could share the hardware you currently have and what has worked for you, so I can get a guide on what I should buy.

One thing I'm clear about is that the motherboard and processor must be AMD, for compatibility with Linux.

I'd also like, if possible, if the motherboard has a Thunderbolt C port, but if the recommended one doesn't, there's no problem. It also wants to have built-in Wi-Fi, although I know there can be issues with that, so if it doesn't, there's no problem.

Just so you know, my budget is $800, but any amount beyond that is welcome.

I'd really appreciate any information you could share.

Anyone else noticing a pretty big difference in the performance vs running Windows? I only ask because the videos I've seen, admittedly a little old, show performance to be pretty much equal on the platforms.

Running a 13600k, 32GB RAM, and 9070XT with all the settings maxed out and when running around the Shooting Range I'm noticing:

• Around 80FPS on CachyOS with Mesa 25.3 and PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 FSR4_WATERMARK=1 game-performance %command launch options
• Around 110FPS on Windows 11 with latest drivers.

Tried different versions of Proton and disabling FSR4 but looks to have little effect.

I installed Linux on my gaming PC a little while ago but I'm just now trying to do some actual couch gaming on it. I'm having issues trying to get both Big Picture Mode and the in-game overlay to work. If I have Settings > Interface > Enable GPU-accelerated rendering in web views ON then BPM mode works great but the in-game overlay runs so slow it's unusable. If I turn that setting OFF then BPM runs like crap (around 5fps?) but the in game overlay is fine. I haven't worked out any way to get them both playing well together. Any tips?

I'm running Arch with the latest drivers, an RTX 4080, on Gnome with Wayland.

So I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 7435hs, NVIDIA 4060, and 16gb of RAM.

Playing Overwatch, a game that's supposed to be well optimized, I had several performance issues, being forced to lower graphics to low.

Searching online it seems the game is somewhat unstable in certain contexts, but I just want to confirm it is, indeed, using my 4060.

I have:
- looked on the top right for power options, but nothing there specific about GPU

- opened Nvidia X Server Settings, but can't find any specific information there.

What am I missing?
Thanks!

EDIT: [SOLVED] - I don't have an iGPU, so it must be my NVIDIA one.

Hello everyone, I just want to share what worked for me for running assetto corsa on linux, as I did not find an updated guide that fully worked.

If some directories are not the same on your system I hope you know how to find the correct ones.

-------------------------------

If there is already a previous installation delete the pfx directory with its files

rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx

install assetto corsa and launch it using 5.0-10, let the game crash. Shut down steam, check the processes to make sure it is gone.

run the following commands in terminal:

protontricks 244210 -q vcrun2019

protontricks 244210 -q dotnet48

protontricks 244210 -q d3dcompiler_43 d3dx11_43

protontricks -c "wine uninstaller" 244210

and uninstall wine windows mono support

download and install https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton9-2, easier if you use protonup-qt.

Launch Steam and set protonGE_9-2 for assetto corsa

launch assetto corsa

If you want Content Manager:

run the following in terminal for creating needed symlink:

mkdir ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/config

ln -s $HOME/.steam/root/config/loginusers.vdf $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/config/loginusers.vdf

download content manager and copy the 2 files in the AC install directory renaming "Content Manager.exe" as "ContentManager.exe"

set the following launch options on steam replacing "username" with your username: gamemoderun /home/"username"/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-2/proton waitforexitandrun /home/"username"/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/assettocorsa/'ContentManager.exe'; echo %command%

run this command in the terminal and paste the output for the install directory required by the content manager: echo 'Z:\home\'$USER'\.steam\root\steamapps\common\assettocorsa'

close all, steam to, and run the following in terminal: protontricks 244210 corefonts

Before installing custom shaders patch you need to...

run the following command: protontricks -c winecfg 244210 and go to the ‘Libraries’-tab, type dwrite into the ‘New override for library’-textbox and click ‘Add’.

Look for dwrite in the list and make sure it also says ‘native, built-in’. If it doesn’t, switch it via the ‘Edit’ menu.

you can install the latest CSP from the content manager

some extra fonts need to be downloaded and installed manually from the internet, such as segoeui.ttf that you can download here: https://online-fonts.com/fonts/segoe-ui

You can choose the launcher to use by changing between ContentManager.exe and AssettoCorsa.exe at the end of the Launch options.

Maybe if you try to play online using the content manager the game will have poor performance. Probably using the main launcher fixes the problem.

Just wanted to see if others with that processor have the same experience, i have tried a lot of different distros over the time, and it seems like its always a little bit more buggy then my other CPUs. (homeserver/laptop etc.) I went trough some mitigations via grub boot flags, but it always feels a little bit....off or strange.

Im not necessarily searching for advice to fix this directly but for the interested, things i encountered basically on any distro with this specific platform:

• HID (Keyboard/Mouse) not getting completely initialized after cold-boot
• shutdown gets stuck on last poweroff step ( actually klicking PSU off)
• weird frame hickups in specific, CPU heavy games
• etc.etc.

syslogs of any kind mostly refer bufferalocation of the socket or CPU directly. With chatGPT help it was possible to decrypt some more advanced stuff im not able to read(Hexa from kernelpanic/stack traces etc.), so maybe even CPU L-cache is mentioned, but i dont trust AI in general so who knows :D

Rest of specs: Z270 gaming pro carbon - Be quiet PSU - GTX 1080 - 32G Ram, ballistix sport i think

maybe its finally time to upgrade my Home PC :D

Hello, i had this weird issue where I wanted to install games on /storage, a convenient mount point for my NVMe quicker to type than /run/media/user/ and easier to use for other users. But it wouldn't be displayed at all. Some game will crash if installed on theses disks.

Add This to your .bashrc or .zshrc :

export STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/storage # so proton can access root folder

Then execute PortProton in the terminal, it will be able to see the /storage. That's not very elegant but that's a worksround. Customize to your situation.

Or this works too :

STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/your_disk portproton # if you have multiple other disks.

Oh, and unrelated, but some games like FFXVI did weird thing with the locale in one language. You can change the locale by using :

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 portproton # for emglish. get the list with localectl list-locales
