Let's talk about gaming performance

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 11:40

Hi! I’m still pretty new to Linux and doing a bit of research.

Here’s the situation: I’m currently gaming on Nobara Linux, and overall I’m happy with the performance. I’ve tried several distros - Linux Mint, openSUSE Tumbleweed, and Debian. I applied recommended tweaks, installed the latest available drivers, dependencies, and tools like Gamemode - and the performance still varies across them.

Nobara performs the best, then Mint, then openSUSE, and Debian performed the worst. Same hardware in all cases: Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8, i5-12450H, NVIDIA RTX 4060 Mobile.

My questions:

  1. What exactly makes Nobara Linux so performant? Is it just the CachyOS kernel, or are there other factors?
  2. Is there a way to achieve the same level of gaming performance on other distros manually, or does Nobara include something that can’t be easily replicated?
  3. Are there any universal things I can do on any distro to improve gaming performance, aside from installing up-to-date drivers, etc.?

bottles/faugus/etc disk space.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 11:34

Been dual booting for a few years, on the off chance I wanted to play any games I would just boot into windows.

Starting to install more games through first bottles and now faugus.

Starting to notice the faugus games folder sizes, every game around 400-600mb. Space on my linux partition is at a premium. Do we just have to accept the space loss? Are people just making sure a few games installed at a time?

2 Days ago I have updated my Drivers for my Laptop(3060) because the laptop was crashing while i was drawing using Krita, the Vtube studio was working find ,. So i updated my Drivers and The Krita app hasn't really crashed but Vtube Studio has been crashing every since

i went from 570 to 590 but since it was crashing i went back to 570 but it was still crashing so i just went to 580 to see if it could solve it.

Don't why its crashing for no reason because it has working pretty nicely for a week , no crashes or stutters or anything but now it just crashes in less than 5 mins . I Tried proton GE , Steam's Hotfix experimenta' and Normal ones too.

I understand that this isn;t really a question about any game but This is the only place i could think of for asking help.

PS: I really liked a Model and I really wanna use it. Thank you in advance for any help

i use zorin os

AutoDos Linux, dropped

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 11:14

Hello! I wanted to share a little piece of software. AutoDos is written in C/C++ only 6mb, and it’s an automation layer on top of DosBox Staging. You open the tiny GUI and load a MSDOS game zip file, under the hood it, auto-configures the game, it’s loaded into a simple library, and you launch the game. I have had the number one post on DosBox’s Reddit page as well as dosgaming page. Over 150 downloads on itch. And some testimonials of people who’ve enjoyed using AutoDos!

I’ll provide my itch:

CS2 NETWORK JITTER

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 10:15

(Nobara) Is there any reason why CS2 would have major jitter compared to other games, specifically scp secret foundation which runs perfectly fine, my Internet connection is great even though I'm NOT using a wired connection I'm still getting a solid 500 mbps, my driver's of course are already pre installed and ready to go, other than the fact I've changed my GPU driver to 590.48 instead of 595.45 mainly just for stability and more secure option, I've even tweaked settings in CS and nothing seems to work.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 09:31

Hello everyone, I wanted to play a mod for GTA SA but my keyboard doesn't work in the game, my character doesn't move unless I reassign the wasd keys in the settings, but instead of wasd when I reassign I see Ō, #, Ô, Â, is it possible to fix it so that the keyboard works correctly on the standard control settings, I need this so that cheat codes and some other things work, and I almost forgot, I use CachyOS and running game in Lutris (Proton GE 9-26)

I made a sensitivity matching program that works on both X11 and Wayland.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 08:41

I always used Kovaak's sensitivity matching program on windows but there were no Linux equivalents that worked on Wayland, so I figured I might as well make one. I've never done anything like this before so any tips/suggestions are appreciated. Hope some people get some use out of it like I will.

Rayman 3 - choppy audio

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 07:17

Helo there,

I am new user of Steam Deck (SteamOS).

First of all I have to say that I have never use Linux before.

I installed Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (gog version). Works fine, everything is ok. The problem is that game is in english language - I know this language but the problem is as below:

I have installed original polish language - because it is perfect, different, funny, etc. It is my childhood too so I want back to those times once more time. I have original CD with polish version of game so I just copied polish files into the instalation folder of Rayman 3.

I testes it on PC with Windows 11 before Steam Deck to check if it works. And it works, everything is ok.

The problem appears on my Deck, audio iw choppy, weird. I can not hear audio, dialogues, etc. Only weird, broken audio.

I did little research and found out that there could be problem with different codecs that polish files use in comparasion to english files.

But I do not know what and how should I do.

It would be great if you fellow Redditers could help me.

Greetings from Poland.

Estou quase me rendendo ao windows por causa do minecraft bedrock

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 05:49

Jogo Minecraft bedrock por causa do modo online que consigo aproveitar com meu amigo que tem apenas um celular, mas venho enfrentado alguns problemas com texturas e animações no linux, aparentemente isso ocorre porque o bedrock não tem versão oficial para linux e o laucher no máximo emula o jogo de celular para nós, e isso causa essas versões absolutamente quebradas e desagradáveis do jogo, já testei isso no fedora, no zorin, no MCPELAUCHER e no TrynitY e estou a dias usando comandos do chat gpt para concertar isso mas nada funciona e meu jogo continua com uma movimentação travada e distorcida, por ser o meu jogo favorito isso está realmente me dando vontade de ir para o windows para ter uma experiencia de jogo descente, mas dado todas as outras vantagens do linux eu realmente não gostaria de fazer isso, alguem aqui sabe como concertar isso?

What's the best distro for 940mx? (Acer aspire E 15)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. April 2026 - 05:40

hello fellow penguins!

I been using Linux for almost 2 years now with almost no bad experiences (stuck with Mint, PikaOS and finally Bazzite)

however, sometimes I like to move around and I got a dusty old laptop, an acer aspire E 15 with a Nvidia 940mx and a Intel i5 something. with a 1TB HDD

so right off the bat we have issues, Nvidia and specifically an internal Nvidia AND an old Nvidia too.

I tried kubuntu but the performance is abhorrent.

tried TuxedoOS and same as above, I even got a kernel panic lol.

question is... what is a good distro? should I instead try CachyOS? could not install Bazzite for the life of me.

What do you guys recommend? should I get an SSD?
