I have about 80 FPS on CS2 on linux, while having 250-300 on Windows. Here is what I have - Arch Linux with KDE Plasma running on Wayland.
- Ryzen 7 5800x3D - RX 7650xt

here is all the Launch options I tried

SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command% +fps_max 0 -vulkan -nojoy -novid -high I am playing on a 144 Hz 1440p monitor, I also have a 60Hz 4k on the side.

I would want to ditch Windows entirely, but because of this issue, I have to keep the my dual boot setup.

The reason I even did this is because I don't really see people talk about it much Or even do benchmarks too often So I'm doing this to bring back some light on the subject GPU: GTX 1650 4Gb CPU: Intel Core i5 10400f RAM: 16Gb DDR4 ///////////////////////////// My main PC runs Fedora 41 KDE and one of the reasons I switched is because I heard that CS2 has native support Littles did I know it was poorly optimized in terms of it's vulkan implementation which is a real shame since I really do enjoy it I took a few screenshots of how bad and annoyingly unoptimized it is And yes I took these on Win11 on My brother's PC (we share the same specs) But the Vulkan performance is basically the same on my PC last time I checked DX11 on High around 72~ FPS meanwhile on Low 180~ FPS Vulkan on High is around 40-60~ FPS Meanwhile on low it's about 60-80~ FPS There's a lot of graphical glitches and bugs Real shame that a game like CS is having this :(

Using KDE Plasma 6.3.3 on Arch Linux kernel 6.13.8-arch1-1.

For a while now I've had an issue where my mouse clicks do not register in a window if the steam window is open behind the window I'm trying to interact with. The inputs typically get passed through whatever window I'm trying to interact with and instead interact with the steam client. It does not happen consistently, does but happen regularly I'm trying to click something in a firefox window that is in front of the steam client.

Due to it being pretty sporadic, I've not had any luck trying to figure out what exactly causes it to happen, but it has happened for a long period of time now over many KDE and Steam updates and versions.

Might be a silly question, but I couldn't find any info on this, any idea if games that have vulkan as an option have less overhead from the translation layer since vulkan isn't being translated to something else? I'm sure there's plenty of windows calls being translated still, but I was curious if games that let you play with vulkan have less overhead. If a game offers both, should I use Vulkan or DX12?

So Piper is correctly detecting my Logitech G502 lightspeed, and even detects my current DPI resolution correctly after changing it with the default DPI switcher, but whenever I apply any of the settings, nothing changes with my actual mouse functionality. I can't even change the LCD color.

Is there anything special in the terminal I have to do for this to work? Does libratbag have a non-GUI interface I can test? I tried running piper with sudo to see if that changed anything or gave me some kind of output to troubleshoot but it hasn't.

On a ROG Strix G614JV, Nobara Project 41, using the rpm version of the program not the flatpak one.

EDIT: Never mind, already fixed it, stupid occam's razor. For future people coming to this thread from google, you have to click "add profile" and create new profile where it says "Profile 1", because Profile 1 does not actually exist by default, just Profile 0. Thank you Barotto.

Using:

• Fedora 41 KDE spin
• AMD Radeon RX 7600

I've had Fedora for about a week and yesterday I finally got around to installing steam.

Everything was going well at first but after it did the initial update, steam did not start, except for a window asking to restart steam.

https://preview.redd.it/woi3bjazc9se1.png?width=692&format=png&auto=webp&s=f91f712db7465e34b21aae7200f21f0d952f6380

I've tried many things:

completely uninstalling steam (and its /local files), using flatpack, using cef-disable-gpu, using STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam, using strace (got a bunch of ENOENT and EACCES), steam -console.

I'll paste what it says in the terminal when I try to boot it if it helps:

Saw a few "Steam hardware survey" videos and thought about it; I've never actually filled one out in the 10ish years I've been using steam. I don't think i've even been asked before tbh
