Hey everyone, I recently switched from windows to fedora (my first Linux install), I noticed that my pc was always hot, so I installed mission center and noticed that the fans were spinning at 3600 rpm, which it saw as 100% even though on windows it used to go well over 5000 rpm when I watched it on ghelper.

I tried a lot of solutions before coming here, asusctl, nbfc, sensors, but I can’t manually change the speed, I couldn’t in windows either, the problem is that it somehow doesn’t register the max speed of my fans properly.

Does anyone know a way I could fix that or some more details I should include ?

Which proton version, if any, will be used for games on steam when no specific Proton version is set?

I'm no expert but i assume, that steam will ALWAYS use proton for any non-native games?

Gladly for most of my games i don't have to tinker with proton versions at all, because the games run flawless anyways.

I understand that Wine-GE is deprecated and that GEProton uses uwu. But why do some games run only under Wine-GE and not GEProton?

I’m having a really strange issue with Immortals Fenyx Rising on Linux.

The game runs at 60+ FPS, GPU is in P0, CPU boosts normally, but the entire game plays in slow-motion — animations, physics, everything. FPS is smooth but the game speed is slowed down.

The weird part: This started right after I connected an external 60Hz HDMI monitor. Even after unplugging it, the slow-motion never went away. Although I'm quite certain this is coincidental as it does not make sense that the issue would start occurring just because of plugging an external monitor in.

Since then, I’ve tried:

Running the game on Lutris (Wine-GE) and Steam (Proton Experimental)

Fresh Wine/Proton prefixes

Fresh Ubisoft Connect install

Fully redownloaded the game

Even copied a known-good install from my Steam Deck

Multiple kernels (CachyOS, Liquorix)

Completely reinstalled the OS

Ensured the GPU/CPU/EDID are all normal

No matter what I do, the game is always in slow-motion on this laptop — but runs perfectly on my Steam Deck.

I spent almost 5 hours battling this away with ChatGPT and have tried everything it suggested but to no avail.

Any pointers would be much appreciated!

I'm using CachyOS on a ROG Strix G17, RTX 3050 4GB, Ryzen 7-4800H

TL;DR: Immortals Fenyx Rising on Linux runs at normal FPS but the game speed is slow-motion. Fresh OS, fresh prefixes, fresh game files. still slow. Works fine on Steam Deck.

I'm trying to play RDR2 for the first time on CachyOS. It's asking me to install the Rockstar launcher however some strabge things have occured. - it first input a windows C drive location even though I'm running pure cachyOS - Selecting my host drive and a location says only 15GB is free when that's clearly wrong. - it only lists C and Z drives even though I have 3 drives.

What could be causing it his, is it anything I need to be concerned about and why does it say I only have 15GB free when I clearly have more.

So I was wondering, I haven't tried linux gaming for years and years now, but if it was possible to perfectly emulate / VM a windows 10 or w/e install under linux for games that just won't want to work

Be it they are

1) incompatible (I assume proton or w/e can do this)

or what I expect to be an issue

2) expects windows for anti-cheat reasons (all the big shooters and etc.)

likely with a bypass or something of a sort for the second one, but is it doable at all or is that just something that I would HAVE to dual boot to use?

I'm using CachyOS and I've been getting lots of stuttering recently (every like five seconds there's a huge frame spike) with adaptive sync enabled, in a variety of games (duckov, also master duel right now) both in native wayland and xwayland. I'm on an OLED Monitor, and 7900XT gpu and 7800X3D cpu. My monitor is 175hz and I've set a 175fps cap in mangohud (global enable). Turning that off didn't really fix it. When i turned on vsync in duckov, the stuttering mostly stopped, except when opening a menu, then there's always a pretty strong stutter. I also have a second monitor that's 1080p 144hz, capped in kde to 100hz for idle power reasons. It's also causing issues with full screen videos in a browser, where there's often a heavy stutter when hovering my mouse from the video on the left screen to my other monitor. For now I've just disabled adaptive sync entirely. I tried disabling mangohud but it didn't fix it, at least in duckov.

I just switched to Linux and was running Cyberpunk to test things out, and I noticed in LACT that once I start running it, I’m basically always being throttled by SW power cap. The power cap in LACT and NVIDIA Settings is displayed as 300 W, but in Cyberpunk I’m only ever seeing 230 W max. This is running the 580.105.08 driver on Arch. Is there any way to solve this, or is this even a problem at all?

most of my games are on my steam family so this is quite impactful, and i'd rather not go adding them all manually.. anyone know how to fix this?

Hi! I'm currently still on windows and primarily use SteelSeries Sonar for it's noise cancelling on my microphone, I've looked into alternatives for linux and haven't seen any that have more than just EQ control, is there some project that I'm missing here? Thanks!

every time i boot up Metaphor Refantazio on steam it opens a white screen with this error message really tiny. ive tried different solutions like changing to some different protons, uninstalling and reinstalling, verifying the integrity of the files, nothing. i really dont wanna have to refund this game so any help is massively appreciated.

i’m using a dual sense controller in an unsupported game so i’m using steam input. I’m having an issue where steam is detecting 3 controllers. usually it’s 2, the dual sense and my keyboard. now it’s detecting 3 and the 3rd seems to be acting as the main controller, causing ghost input everywhere but the menus. how do i fix this?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that when i unplug my keyboard and only have my controller connected, 2 controllers still show as connected, but there’s no ghost input anymore

Hi All,

I'm exploring a new build for a windows / linux gaming PC, I'm generally new-ish to Linux but have been messing around with gaming on an old Laptop I recently converted to Fedora. Here's what I'm thinking:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120
• MoBo: MSI MPG B650I EDGE WIFI mini ITX
• Memory: G.Skill Flare X5 32GB
• Storage: WD Black SN850X 2TB
• GPU: Radeon RX 9070 Sapphire PULSE
• Case: Coolermaster NR200
• PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 gm

PCPartPicker Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MxdB8Q

What I'm concerned about is the MoBo, I've read that some of the wifi components can be a pain on Linux and I think this MoBo has a Mediatek wifi. What I can't tell from researching though is if this specific wifi card's drivers are supported in Linux or not. I think it has:

• Wireless: RZ616
• Ethernet: RealTEk RTL8125BG

The alternative, ASrock, sounds better, but I keep reading about them bricking CPUs so I'm kind of scared.

Any guidance on the motherboard would be appreciated, and if there's anything else I'm missing with the build -- please let me know.

Thanks!

Edit -- Realized I copied the wrong component names for mobo
