Other News about gaming on Linux
after messing around i could fix my perf issues in cs2 and i will leave some tips that might help someone with a older intel processor like me
well i remembered that a guy on cachy os discord told me that older intel cpus had some governor issues so i made the processor run on perf governor 24/7 with this kernel cmdline: cpufreq.default_governor=performance
also disabled cpu mitigations as on older cpus it can degrade perf with this kernel cmdline: mitigations=off
(don't forget to update your grub)
and i also added those parameter to cs2 launch options:SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland LD_PRELOAD="" %command% -novid -nojoy -high -threads 10
them my fps was good again :) (sry for the bad english)
specs: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2696 v3 (36) @ 3.80 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 [Discrete]
Memory: 64gb ddr4 quad-channel
OS: CachyOS
(also you guys need to learn that just bcus something is old it doenst mean that it useless for gaming)

How to up power limit on GPU like Adrenalin on Linux
Hey was thinking of using steam os to build out a tv PC wanted to know how I can control various aspects of GPU on Linux as I understand adrenalin amd doesn't exist on Linux and I'm guessing I can't just use powercontrol or that decky plugin from gawrah I believe the name was from GitHub. To up the powerlimit 10-30% and undervolt whatever the case depending on manufacturer etc the way you can easily do it in Adrenalin on 9070xt or 7900xt etc

Best wine/proton version? (cachyos, ge-proton, proton experimental, etc.)
I run CachyOS on a 4060 laptop and I use lutris. I want to know which versions of proton/wine (cachyos-proton, ge-proton, proton experimental, etc.) are the best in terms of performance especifically for non steam games as I use fitgirl and dodi repacks. Thanks in advance.

GeForce Infinity big update!
Hello everyone!
I have previously posted to this community about the app of GeForce Infinity which I am the original developer of.
I am happy to announce that we have released update 1.1.3!
New features that the update brings:
- 🔁Account system: Users can now register and log in. After logging in, they are able to sync settings to and from the cloud.
- 👤User dropdown menu in the header of the GFI sidebar for account management
- ⏰Inactivity notification: Alerts you when you're about to be kicked due to inactivity.
- 🔇Automute: Mutes the game when the window is not in focus.
- 🛑**"Anti-kick" feature.** ⚠️Disclaimer: This is not a real anti-kick. It does not prevent kicks and may violate NVIDIA's TOS. It simply alt-tabs you back into the game if you're unfocused. (both autofocus and inactivity notifications must be enabled)
- ↩️Button to reset all settings to their default values.
- 💻Support for smaller screens: added scrollable areas.
- ℹ️Info tooltips added in the settings section
In other news, 2 versions of the app are now available in the AUR! One uses pre-built binaries and the other builds from source! ⚠️Both of these are 3rd party maintained AURs so huge thanks for these 2 people!
I'm also happy to announce now that we have reached 2600+ downloads (official total from flathub + from website is 2606 as of writing this post)! Thank you for all the support, feedback, questions. We are working to make it the best possible, but keep in mind that this is an open source project, maintained voluntarily!
We have a lot more exciting features and improvements planned such as: higher resolution support, surround sound, Higher FPS support, HDR support, Ability to open sidebar during gameplay, Xcloud integration and a lot more!
Obviously we are not sure if we can truly implement all requests and improvements but we will try our very best, so stay tuned! (And once Xcloud integration is done we will rename the app and change the icon to better fit and to avoid any potential copyright issues)

Trying to install Bnet Launcher through steam/proton
Hello,
I will preface this by saying I'm pretty new to linux. I am running Fedora 42 KDE Plasma. I installed steam from the discover store using the "from Fedora" source, as opposed to the flatpak.
Anyways, when running the bnet launcher I'm trying to change the install location to have it in a folder thats easily accessible in my home directory, but when I hit select folder, nothing happens? Is it possible to change the directory? If so, how do I fix this? I'd rather have the battle.net launcher installed somewhere convenient, rather than buried in the steam folder. Also, this will allow me to delete the installer shortcut in steam after the launcher is installed.
Thanks

Sound cuts out hard with buzzing/farts in Diablo 4 - Fizes?
Recently, D4 has been having some serious sound issues. Usually, when there are a lot of mobs getting wiped at once. I'm running the game though Steam using GE Proton Latest from ProtonPlus. It did this on an older version, too. D4 is the only game I play and the sound doesn't cutout anywhere else.
Any ideas as to what I could do to fix this? I'm on Garuda Dragonized w/ KDE on all AMD hardware. I mainly use the built-in speakers on monitor, but have noticed this same thing on my wireless headphones.
TIA!

No Sleep For Kaname Date: Review (Linux and Steam Deck)
Steam download speed
Hello guys, I'm on nobara and i have an issue. My steam download speed is "capped" to 120megabits/s while my connection during speedtest goes up to 900megabits/s. This happened when I first installed nobara 20 days ago but after an unknown fix ( I tried to set up something but I dunno if it actually fixed something, I doubt) the download speed went up to 800megabits/s. Two days ago I changed my router and the problem came back. I really don't know what to do, I already modified the steam_dev.cfg, I tried changing dns, I tried flatpak instead of official repos but no luck.
Do you have any fix?

Mouse escaping fullscreen with dual monitor setup
If I quickly move the cursor towards the other monitor and click, the mouse escapes to the other monitor. After some googling it seems like this is a long standing Wayland issue. Though it doesn't seem to affect all games for some reason. Maybe because of custom proton settings for more popular games?
Do anyone know more of the cause or a another solution? I find it strange that such a massive issue is not talked about more.
Currently have the issue on Dune Awakening. I don't believe I had it on Overwatch. I'm using cachyOS with Gnome.

If a cute, bite-sized minimal 4X Game sounds interesting to you - check out our Game Tree Kingdoms!
We spent time making sure it was playable on Steam Deck and I'm very proud of the work done!

World of Warcraft Extremely Choppy Performance Issues
I have only been on Linux for about 2 weeks so I am a newbie and this is my first post. Wow will run generally fine till I get into combat and then it becomes extremely choppy and would be unplayable in group content. I did a ton of research on possible causes and I have outlined what I have tried below. None of these things had any affect on the issue itself:
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / nvidia-driver-575 (proprietary, tested)
I have tried the following things to troubleshoot:
- Tried both installing/running the game through Steam and Lutris. Having the same issue on both. (tried bottles as well but had an issue with the battle.net client launching)
- Tried turning v-sync on and off
- limited foreground FPS of wow to 60
- tried disabling second monitor
- tried different wine versions: Lutris (ge-proton, proton-experimental) Steam (Proton Experimental and Proton 10.0-2(beta) )
- tried setting graphics setting in wow to lower settings
I did notice that in small text on the bottom left of my screen, occasionally I will get a message that says "compiling shaders", which in theory would affect performance. I am not sure if that is a clue or simply normal behavior running on Linux. I have yet to get this working correctly so I am not sure what "normal" looks like
Any help/tips would greatly be appreciated. I can keep trying different wine versions and maybe I will find one that solves the problem but I am running out of things to try

Tips at choosing the distribution
Hello everyone, I've become frustrated with Windows and what Microsoft has been doing with it, so I've decided to switch to Linux on my main device. However, I don't have enough experience to choose the best distribution.
I'm currently focused on learning programming and working on college projects, but I also enjoy gaming and would like to play some titles in the future.
I’d also like to know if it’s possible to run games and programs that aren’t from Steam smoothly on Linux.
My laptop spaces: Intel i5 10300 H Gtx 1650ti 16GB RAM
And what about undervolting for the Intel CPU on Linux as I use ThrottleStop at Windows and my laptop doesn't support undervolting from the BIOS
