I use a lot of windows applications and cycle them a lot, a store-like launcher isn't very efficient to me, PortProton is great, but I would like to have a second option, specially because PortProton only opens one thing at a time.

I bought a gaming laptop from Tuxedo Computers Gmbh, specialized in “linux first” computers.

I’m really trying to avoid GAFAMS and support EU businesses, so it was a perfect match.

Here is my terrible experience.

Laptop works on Windows but not Linux

The problems below are present on all combinations of linux distros, kernel version and drivers, using Tuxedo WebFAI or vanilla distributions.

When using Windows and the XMG drivers, it works flawlessly.

That proves that it’s a software issue, and returning the computer for repair won’t help.

• Built-in screen going (and staying) black for many reasons:
  • pc going to sleep
  • using hdmi external screen (with mux in hybrid mode)
  • at random
• Cpu crawling at < 1Ghz, requires charger unplug/replug (bug from tuxedo control center)
• Battery not charging (420W charger) after changing settings in control center, had to clear CMOS
• Low fps over HDMI on Wayland
• Bluetooth drops when using 2 to 4 xbox controllers
• USB-C charging only works when the computer is shut down. Not very useful.

Support lie, won’t help, won’t refund

• Their support never acknowledged the issues and pretend they can’t reproduce.
• They take days to answer, and never answer all the questions.
• They only keep you busy by asking logs and don’t provide actual support.
• They say that a refund is “impossible” (I’m not aware that Tuxedo is bankrupt, though).
• No solution was provided whatsoever.
• They eventually suggested to return the computer for investigation, which makes no sense, as that will not help with linux driver issues.

Tuxedo Computer = Schenker XMG rebrand

Contrary to what their markting says, these two systems have exactly the same hardware, firmware and bios (appart from the boot logo). The “windows drivers” provided by Tuxedo are identical to the drivers provided by XMG.

• Tuxedo Stellaris 7 + Aquaris watercooling (sold by Tuxedo)
• XMG Neo E25 + Oasis watercooling (exact same hardware, sold by Schenker XMG)

I hope this post helps you dodge a bullet.

Hey Guys,
after I played the game on CachyOS for some months one day it just didn't launch without any changes from my side. I checked ProtonDB for some infos but none of the advises worked. Even after I reinstalled CachyOS (for other reasons) it didn't work.

Things I tried so far:
- switching proton versions (went from proton-cachyos to proton 10, proton 9, some older ones as well)
- Enabling PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND
- Disabling MangoHUD

I started steam in CLI and checked the output during game launch. Here the summary:

fsync: up and running

Errors about an object at /home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so wich cannot be preloaded

Game Recording doesn't start since it's disabled.

A bunch of processes get added.

"explorer.exe" is blacklisted in MangoHUD.

"pid 147127 != 147126, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)" appears.

"Game Recording - game stopped [gameid=1172380]"

All added processes get removed

I'd like to just blame the EA App for causing trouble but the sequel Jedi Survivor works fine for some reason.

If you have any idea how to fix that I'd be glad to hear it, since I don't want to be forced to play the game on windows. Thanks for your help guys

Hello everyone.

So I'm actually on Windows, planning to go on KDE for my next 2026 clean install. I'm actually learning how it's working (how to customise, commands etc).

I'm struggling to choose the GPU I'm also going to. I have a R7 5700X3D and a 600W PSU, + some budget limitation (550€) so I can't go higher than the RTX 5070 / RX 9070, even if it's a 30€ difference.

I know that AMD cards are interesting on Linux because of the drivers implementation in the Kernel. And I know that Nvidia isn't really interesting on Linux because we lose a lot of technologies (RTX Super Resolution which is my favorite). But at the same time FSR4, as good as it is, is similar to DLSS 3 Quality while DLSS4 is better than native and available on a lot of games.

I just don't know what to choose, both cards are at the same prize. Please help.

Sektori blasted onto Steam recently and I've been absolutely loving it, this is easily one of the best modern twin-stick shooters and fantastic to play.

For some reason, I just found out about Warframe. When I was on Windows, I enjoyed playing Destiny 2 and kinda missed the experience after moving to Linux. Now I am absolutely addicted to playing this game! The combat and graphics are amazing and fills that Destiny gameplay void I had.

Something on my system is constantly forcing Vsync to be enabled. I cant get above 165 fps in any game . The problem is whatever is causing this is not even doing a good job since in some games the stable fps I get jumps between 140 and 170 (more demanding games like cs2 or the Finals) . At first I thought it was a problem with my GPU since it was never reaching full clock speeds unless settings are set to max , now I know that this is some sort of Vsync which is always on because in most non heavy games my fps never goes over 165.

Specs:
6700xt
Kubuntu 24.04.3 lts

6.8.0-88-generic
KDE

Issue on Wayland and X11

WHat I have tried:

Changed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf to this:

Section "Device"

Identifier "AMD"

Driver "amdgpu"

Option "TearFree" "true"

Option "VariableRefresh" "false"

EndSection

In games using the :
vblank_mode=0

(and ofc I dont have vsync enabled in games)

PS:Also this is 100% not a cpu bottleneck my cpu is powerful enough and this is not an issue on windows

SOLVED:

use

MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=immediate

If we want to make this better for newbies (to make it smoother), proton tricks should be able to be assigned the steam location from a filebrowser, rather than the terminal.

For instance, when the error for proton tricks
"protontricks (WARNING): Protontricks does not appear to have access to the following directories: flatpak override --user --filesystem=/var/home/ME/.local/share/Steam com.github.Matoking.protontricks

To fix this problem, grant access to the required directories by copying the following command and running it in a terminal:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=/var/home/ME/.local/share/Steam com.github.Matoking.protontricks"

The prompt should immediately be "would you like to do that now", because it's already got the correct terminal line ready to go right then and there.

I know I'm going to attract some ire, but I'm as interested in the YOTLD, but it will require reduced friction for that to happen, and this is arguably not a power-user program

It's actually pissing me off how easy this was. I could have done this years ago.

I went in to CachyOS from Win11 yesterday on my full AMD rig. I messed up my first install by going with Hyperlnd environment and being clueless, reinstalled the OS (took 5 whole minutes) and chose KDE Plasma. Got Steam, Discord, LACT, and Spotify through package installer, and just hopped right into gaming. No issues. No tweaks. No setup.

And my games are running.... BETTER??????

Wtf is this.

It was only a matter of time but it's nearly upon us - KDE Plasma with version 6.8 will be entirely dropping the X11 session to go full Wayland.

Under shader compilation (with fan curve set in the bios and a 115W PPT limit) my 9800X3D reaches 85c under Bazzite, whereas on windows the maximum temperature is 79c. I know neither of these are particularly high for an X3D cpu but I’m curious why Bazzite is hotter. Does it somehow override my BIOS settings?
