System-utility for easily switching AMD's dual CCD-X3D CPU modes for Gaming/Workstation tasks

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 21:52

Built with C and Bash. It was my first time writing a proper man page like it was 1969 so that was fun. Idk if it supports older CCD chips but the 9900X3D and up all have the same sysfs interface location.(on linux) Right now it simply switches, to a specified CCD via commands gaming and performance, has a toggle cmd, and supports application passthrough launching ie: x3dctl gaming steam to then switch to the CCD with the cache and launch steam or replace that with x3dctl performance blender for a workload example, and status for checking. Future Goals are a simple config system with per-application profile mapping, CCD pinning/process affinity support, and Process Detection. suggestions and ideas are welcome. I'd love some feed back from the community, and if you're not much of a talker at least leave a star ;)

Where do you go to get help with Foxhole becoming unplayable on Linux Mint after new game update?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 21:13

So I have Foxhole running really nice on Linux Mint for two years straight and now it's almost unplayable because of bugs with the new update. It totally crashes with normal proton settings but if I set it to Proton 8.05 then it runs, but you encounter bugs moving around that make it unplayable. But I know any Gnu-Linux users probably make up less than 1% of Foxhole users, so what do I do to get support for this? I'm not even sure how to report it to the Foxhole developers. Steam only lets me report it to Steam itself. So, where do I actually go?

Flex ATX PSU adapter for BC-250 Bazzite build

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 20:59

I bought this FSP Flex ATX PSU for my BC-250 Bazzite build with the idea to use an 8PIN EPS CPU to 8PIN PCIe adapter since it only has EPS, 24PIN and Molex.

Molex was out of discussion because of the 55W per Molex limit. Two Molex would still only be 110W. Not enough for the 220W the BC-250 needs.

8PIN EPS should be able to handle over 300W+ but I can‘t find any adapter that doesnt look like it would burn anytime soon.

What else is my option here?

Steam Big Picure always opens on the wrong screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 20:51

Hi. So my issue is, that whenever I start Steam Big Picture Mode, it starts on my left Monitor, not on the center one. I checked with xrandr and the center one is set as primary. I can switch BP to window mode, move it across, go fullscreen again, but that only lasts for that session.

It is especially annoying when using sunshine moonlight, cause this is streaming from the center monitor (as it should).

I'am on bazzite by the way. With an NVIDIA GPU.

Any tips on what to do?

Help Setting Up INACT for FFXIV

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 20:14

Hello,

I just switched over to CachyOS from Windows today and it's my first time trying to game on Linux. So far, most things have been incredibly easy but I'm stuck on one thing: trying to set up a damage meter for FFXIV. I tried installing ACT through Wine, and that worked but it wasn't actually picking up any data and I read that the overlay would be a problem and since I only have one monitor at the moment I really need the overlay. My searches led me to try INACT instead through XIVLauncher and I was able to get that running with no problems, but now I'm stuck again trying to get an overlay. According to the setup guide from INACT, I need to use HUDkit since I'm on Linux. I have that installed now, but when I try to run it I'm getting the error:

Gdk-Message: 14:05:06.011: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

...and nothing else happens. I've tried searching in this sub but I'm not finding anything, does anybody know of a straightforward way to get a damage meter running with an overlay in FFXIV on Linux?

Steam downloads are incredibly slow (9800X3D + 5070 Ti)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 19:39

Yo, I’m on a 2.5Gbps line but Steam downloads are painfully slow on Linux. Everything else hits full speed, it's just Steam. For reference i use Cloudflare DNS ipv4 and ipv6, i tried different stuff like disabling http2 as i read here and there.What’s the fix for this? I’m wasting a monster PC here.

Setup: Ryzen 9800X3D + RTX 5070 Ti (Nobara)

How do i get rid of this lag?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. Februar 2026 - 18:58

While playing Death Stranding i get this annoying lag even though Steam tells me i am at 60fps and my GPU and CPU are not on 100%.

I tried switching proton versions but this did not help and on Experimental and Hotfix it wont even start and it will give me an error.

Specs:

Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit

Intel© Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz × 6

NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080]
