Genshin Impact with unlocked FPS
After an hour or so of digging I managed to get fps unlocking to work on Genshin Impact on linux n so I thought I'd share that here, heres how i accomplished it and heres what i used
Bottles (flatpak)
Runner: proton-cachyos-10.0-20250905-slr-x86_64_v3
I created a bottle with Gaming profile and installed Genshin Impact on it with HoYoPlay Launcher under "Install Programs" in bottles
Downloaded windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.19-win-x64.exe from microsoft's website
Installed windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.19-win-x64.exe in the bottles "Run executable"
The installer of windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.19-win-x64.exe would show a blank black window for me at first, I then installed mfc42, msxml6, allfonts, dependencies from the bottles menu but then I realized it opened the installer behind that blank window
in the bottles settings I added the following DLL Overrides:
icu, Disabled (I had to do this because there were errors about this one when trying to launch the fps unlocker)
mscoree, Native, then Builtin (Did this because there were some errors about mscoree)
I downloaded genshin-fps-unlock v3.3.0 unlockfps_nc_signed.exe (v3.4.0 was broken for me and would complain about Invalid memory address or unlocker failed to start or some popup like that)
I installed dotnet45 dependency from bottles menu
I clicked "Add shortcuts", selected the unlockfps_nc_signed.exe file
and then I changed the Launch Options for that exe file (click the three dots)
all I changed was change the "Working directory" to my bottles prefix, which in my case was /home/archie/.var/app/com.use.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Gacha\ Games
I then launched the unlockfps_nc_signed shortcut, set the frames per second, and launched Genshin Impact and that's it.
if it says failed to open exe file in logs, give bottles permissions to be able to read that exe file with flatseal or command line
only thing is that this way you aren't launching through a launcher like HoYoPlay Launcher so it wont emit a Discord RPC Game Activity (please comment if you know there is a way around this)

Hi, i would like some very lightweight game recommendations. I have a very humble laptop and i would love to discover more games i can enjoy (that run okay).
I'm using void linux and my specs are: AMD Athlon II @ 2.2GHz, no dedicated GPU (AMD Radeon 4225/4250) and 4GB RAM.
I can emulate gba and some old consoles which is nice, but i want to play some pc games as well, after some time testing i have the following log:
- Games that ran ok (can play for hours, ok FPS)
- Stardew Valley
- Don't Starve
- Diablo I
- Turing complete
- Papers Please
- Undertale
- Games that ran slow (can play but if i really like the game i wont, lots of freezings)
- Torchlight 2
- Brotato
- Cross code
- Impossible to play (didn't run at all or very very slow)
- Minecraft
- Halls of Torment
- Hollow Knight
- Factorio
- Balatro
- Barony
- Terraria
- Necesse
RPGs (mainly ARPGs) are the main goal but i do like other genres as well.

FSR4 on RX 7800xt - some help needed
Hello, everyone! First of all, well Cachy OS is smooth :D
I'm running the latest mesa git (driverInfo = Mesa 25.2.2-cachyos1.2 | driverInfo = Mesa 25.2.2-cachyos1.2)
and this command in Steam on the Black Myth Wukong Benchmark Tool "PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround DXVK_ASYNC=1 mangohud %command%".
I noticed that I'm getting a little bit of a higher upscaling time, around 3-4 ms and people have reported upscaling times such as 1.8-2.5.
I am using the latest version of optiscaler and proton EM 10.0-2E. Also, it's using FSR 4.0.2 which I have heard is noticeable higher than 4.0.0. but better than 4.0.1 and I have no idea how to downgrade.
Spacemarine 2 works and looks great, 1440p performance puts me in a cpu bottleneck and I am yet to test this in other games. The Monster Hunter Wilds bechmark took seems to crash when I try to open optiscaler.
Is there anything to do that I didn't already do?

I NEED HELP TO START
Hi! I'm an absolute noob on Linux but I need to leave windows for many problems without solution.
I'm looking for info on how to use linux for digital art and design (my actual work and the most urgent thing to cover) and about using Linux for gaming (I only play WoW, POE and a couple indies).
My problem is all the info I found works around terms and info I don't have because sre made for linux users and newbie linux guides are made for using linux for programing porouses and coding stuff.
I need a straight guide or information on how to install and use linux to manage my files, run couple softwares (adobe like stuff) and play wow and that's it.
I hope I'm not asking much, thanks a lot for all your help or guidance.
(btw I'm using asus tuf 15 laptop, ryzen 5, ssd, 16gb ram and 3050rtx graphic card)

Motherboard for a gaming&AI rig: any experience with the ASRock X870 Riptide?
I am doing some research for a Linux-only (Arch, btw) gaming and AI focused build. It will use AMD CPUs and the motherboard has to have AM5 socket. After looking around, I am almost settled on the ASRock X870 Riptide Wifi, because it has the mix of features I need (AM5, M.2 socket w/ PCIe 5, decent audio with optical out, aesthetics).
However, I could not find much info about Linux compatibility. Just some reference about problems with the audio chipset (Realtek ALC8042) which should be quite solved with recent kernels (is it though?)
Has anybody any experience with this MB? At this stage, I am pretty much open for suggestions on a mid-tier board with well proved linux support.
Thanks!

How to get Joystick working in Wine/Proton? (not steam)
Hi,
Running EndeavourOS, with a VKB Joystick attached. Stick is working in native games like X-Plane.
Now I wanted to use it with Elite Dangerous. I had ED installed via steam but there the stick was seen as "gamepad" and I was not able to configure bindings as needed. (but at least it was there)
So I went with Lutris and installed the game again, using Sytem Wine (10.14). But now there is no joystick at all to be found within the wine environment. The joystick control panel is empty :-(
Changing the "Wine-Version" in Lutris to any of the Protons does not seem to make a difference
On the host, device is listed as
[jens@jens-x670-linux ~]$ ll /dev/input/by-id/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 7. Sep 09:17 usb-VKB-Sim__C__Alex_Oz_2023_VKBsim_Gladiator_EVO_R-event-joystick -> ../event2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 7. Sep 09:17 usb-VKB-Sim__C__Alex_Oz_2023_VKBsim_Gladiator_EVO_R-joystick -> ../js0So, what's the trick to get the joystick recognized by Wine?

I’d like to present a small OSS tool to display multiple sensor values on my Kraken LCD.
It should also work (in theory) on other LCD-equipped AIO devices.
I’m looking for feedback and test reports from the community!

Skyrim SE crashes immediately
I'm running Arch and I'm trying to play Skyrim SE, but when I try launching it the launcher screen appears for a second and then closes immediately. I can run other games without issues, it's just Skyrim that's causing problems.
It's a fresh install of Skyrim, I've verified the install files and it's all good. I've also tried changing the Proton version, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Turns out it was an NVIDIA driver error, rebuilding those fixed the issue.

Gaming on Linux for Newbie part 2. Vulkan
Sooo...
It's me, the guy with Dependencies again
And I have one question
"MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete"
Means that I have no hope of launching 90% of games on linux? Right?
Is there any way to deal with it? Or it's over?

Silksong Linux Controller Mappings
Has anyone managed to figure out how to get these to work?
As usual the game has fucked mappings, same as hollow knight lol
My right/left trigger are pulling up the menu and inventory respectively, left bumper moves the character to the left, and right trigger is taunt…
What the hell is going on and why is this game so jank when it comes to mappings on native Linux?
Does anyone have any success using input-remapper/inputplumber or something to sort these mappings out? I tried exporting my SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG before launching, but it has no effect.
Very frustrating and ideally I’d like to use native Linux version instead of windows via wine due to performance hits

Steam and Bauldersgate 3 install issues.
So I bought Bauldersgate 3 during this last sale. It all went well until i tried to install it. It refused to let me download and install it.
TLDR - Once I restarted Steam it worked fine.
So here is the support response ... worth a laugh...

Andrew

But it says steam deck approved, and that its the #1 game being played on Steam Deck, which is a Linux based OS. All other steam deck approved games work with my Linux OS, so I am confused.
Message from Steam Support on Sep 7 @ 1:52am | 1 hour and 57 minutes ago
Please note again that the game is available via Steam Deck, but it is not available for Linux OS PC devices.
Therefore, kindly install this game on a Windows or Mac-based computer.
Thank you.

CachyOS Seems Unstoppable (ProtonDB ranking September 2025)
2017 MacBook Pro Linux gaming (working wifi)
I just had a week long headache trying dozens of distros on my 2017 15” MBP. Im glad to say that YES it runs better than MacOs and Windows bootcamp. It is very finnicky tho so in case anyone ever attempts this, im gonna leave a full guide below after literally hundreds of try’s.
For sake of transparency: This guide was created with the help of ChatGPT, but the figuring out part was me
Fedora KDE 42 on MacBook Pro 2017 (15.4", Radeon Pro 560, Broadcom Wi-Fi) Hardware- Model: MacBook Pro 15.4" (2017)
- CPU: Intel Core i7 (quad-core, 8 threads)
- GPU: Radeon Pro 560 (dGPU) + Intel integrated GPU
- Wi-Fi: Broadcom BCM43602 (PCI ID 14e4:43ba)
Use Boot Camp Assistant in macOS
- Open Boot Camp and create a Windows partition.
- Install Windows fully (don’t skip this). If you don’t, macOS may get confused about the disk layout and EFI entries.
Prepare for Fedora
- After Windows is installed, shut down.
- Plug in your Fedora USB stick.
- Boot the Mac and hold Option ⌥.
- Select the Fedora USB in the boot picker (do not select Boot Camp).
Replace Windows with Fedora
- When the installer starts, strictly follow the Fedora installation instructions listed in Step 2 below.
Default boot behavior
- After installation, Fedora will boot by default.
- To boot macOS: hold Option ⌥ during startup → choose Macintosh HD.
- To make macOS the default: in macOS go to System Settings → Startup Disk → Macintosh HD → Restart.
Boot the installer from USB
- Hold Option ⌥ → pick Fedora USB.
During installation
- Do not connect to Wi-Fi.
- When asked about storage, select the Boot Camp (Windows) partition.
- Assign it to / (root).
- Format only this partition.
- Leave EFI and macOS partitions untouched.
First boot setup
- Finish setup wizard without Wi-Fi.
- Enable third-party repositories when prompted.
Wi-Fi will now work automatically
- Fedora KDE recognizes the same Wi-Fi you used in macOS.
- Important: Only networks previously saved in macOS will appear on first boot. Other networks will not show until you add them manually.
- No manual drivers or firmware files are needed.
- Update the system
┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ sudo dnf update -y │ │ reboot │ └───────────────────────────────┘
- Fix Steam GPU issue (Intel iGPU conflict)
Important: If Steam ever gets stuck in a login loop, you can immediately stop it with:
┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ pkill -f steam │ └───────────────────────────────┘
- Edit GRUB config:
┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ sudo nano /etc/default/grub │ └───────────────────────────────┘
- Find the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
- Add this inside the quotes: modprobe.blacklist=i915
Example:
┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet modprobe.blacklist=i915" │ └───────────────────────────────┘
Save & exit in nano:
- CTRL + O → Enter (save)
- CTRL + X (exit)
Regenerate grub config:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Reboot:
┌────────────┐ │ reboot │ └────────────┘
Steam will now launch properly.
- Install Vulkan tools (optional, but recommended for gaming)
┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ sudo dnf install vulkan-tools mesa-vulkan-drivers -y │ └────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Step 4 — Performance NotesCPU bottleneck
- Some games (Risk of Rain 2, others with heavy single/dual-thread load) may stutter.
- Trick: run games at higher graphics settings + higher resolution → shifts work onto GPU, stabilizes FPS.
GPU
- Radeon Pro 560 runs well with Fedora’s Mesa drivers. No need for AMDGPU-PRO.
Wi-Fi
- Works reliably after enabling third-party repos.
- Important: Only networks previously saved in macOS will appear on first boot. You can manually add other networks if needed.
Fedora KDE 42 dual-booting with macOS on a 2017 MacBook Pro is stable, Wi-Fi works out of the box (with third-party repos), Steam works after Intel GPU blacklist, and performance is solid once tuned.
