Minecraft stutters only with shaders
So far gaming on linux has been amazing and all of my games have been running better except for minecraft. I seem to get the occasional micro stutter without shaders which is probably normal, But the second I turn on shaders i get this constant micro stutter that doesnt even show up on frame time graphs. I'm assuming somehow the shaders affect the frame delivery causing that. My gpu is running at a comfortable like 60-70% too so its not maxxing out. frames are also capped to a solid 120

Horrible audio latency on source engine games
OS: EndeavourOS
WM: Sway
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070
Drivers: nvidia 580.95.05-1
Having this issue with every source engine game I have tested, including HL2, Black Mesa, and Portal. The sound is delayed by something like 500ms, which makes for an unpleasant experience playing these games. All I could find online regarding this issue was to change the value of `snd_mixahead` in the console, which did nothing to fix the latency for me. This delay is also present regardless of whether I run the games with native runtime or proton, and I have no workshop mods enabled.
Thanks

Playing a game from steam uses both of my monitor instead of one
So I recently just installed catchy os to try and get a feel for linux and seem to have already run into an error on my end. I tried launching mgs v and for some reason the game was displayed on both of my monitors instead of one. I went in the game settings and had to set it to windowed and at the lowest resolution just to get it to my main display since everything else would still have it display across both screens no matter the resolution or if it was fullscreen or fullscreen borderless. Honestly might just reinstall the os since ive only had it for an hour and may have missed something during installation.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 hangar level white noise/static
Hi all, would appreciate any help on this issue: I've installed THPS2 PC version using Lutris (on my steam deck), game runs fine, but hangar level has some sort of white noise in the background, like static. It starts after 10 sec or so of the level starting. The issue is from the sound effects, not the music, tried both sepparetly. I've tried many suggested solutions (setting pulse latency variable, running compatibility with windows xp, etc), 2 weeks and nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thinking of switching to linux gaming with an Astral 5090, question about pin monitoring.
Obligatory fuck windows out of the way, is there a way to monitor the pin amperage to make sure it doesn't get out of spec? Ideally, i'm thinking of a systemd service that monitors the pins and shuts down immediately as soon as it gets out of range.
Now I know that Asus' software can read the pins, and also hwmonitor on windows, is there software that can do the same on linux? or better, in writing the service, can the kernel read the pins directly? Any docs you can point me towards? Probably going to go with cachyos if that narrows it down. Thank you.

MykrosCursor — customize and resize your in-game cursor on Linux and Steam Deck
Some games on the have those tiny, hard-to-see cursors — or colors that just blend into the background — and it drove me nuts.
I ended up building MykrosCursor to solve this problem, a tool that lets you easily replace or customize your in-game cursor on both Steam Deck and Linux. You can resize or recolor it to make it easier to see, and it works smoothly in both Gaming and Desktop Mode. No overlays, no lag — just a clean system-level swap. It even works in games that use their own built-in custom cursors.
You can load Linux XCursor themes, Windows CUR files, or even generate a cursor from any image, then tweak the color, brightness, and size. Or browse the Steam Workshop for themes other users have uploaded.
The Steam “Coming Soon” page just went up, and it’s releasing later this month.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3908750/MykrosCursor/
Always happy to hear any thoughts or suggestions — I built this to solve both a Linux and Steam Deck frustration, not to just add another utility.

Optimizations for POP OS?
Hello!
I installed and step up PopOS to be my main driver moving forward. What optimizations can I do get the most out of my machine? I have a AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT with a AMD Ryzen 5 3600.
Are there any specific drivers or kernels that would work best?

KDE + wayland + wine clipboard syncing
Hello,
It's been driving me crazy and i have no idea how i should fix this.
On one hand wayland has everything that's good, on the other hand it's often getting in the way.
I play some games that often use the clipboard, currently it's eve-online, copying from browser to game window and vise versa, this means needing to copy between Xorg and wayland and vise versa.
lots of the solutions have the following error: Watch mode requires a compositor that supports the wlroots data-control protocol
I tried clipboard-sync, but i often get a blank entry in the clipboard, needing me to do it again.
Eve-online currently does not run in wayland mode and the tools used with eve-online require X11 mode (screenshots etc without asking for permission all the time)
I've tried googling, asking AI for suggestions but it's always the same ones and they are generally solutions not working properly.
Does anyone here have any suggestions other than switching to X11 ?
which is seriously on my mind sometimes, a lot of my issues have been wayland related.

Crispy DOOM (Flatpak) can't find my wads.
Trying to play No Rest For The Living on the flatpak version of crispy doom, but the code always returns the error of "IWAD not found" on the konsole.
Anyone can tell me how to get it working?
P.S.: Wads come from DOOM + DOOMII (GoG). I'm trying to use Crispy Doom instead of the new version because I want to use the custom soundtrack, and the mods page doesn't work without the galaxy client.

Getting discord screenshare to not look awful?
Have there been any new methods to get discord to actually look decent while screensharing? The quality is simply awful, and vesktop isn't much better than the native client.

why is proton slow on my pc.
deltarune is very slow on it and sonic mania has occasional slowdowns. why is it so slow on my pc is it because it probably doesn't support opengl3? ive tryed it on another newer laptop and it worked fine even though the slightly more modern one is much cheaper and im pretty sure is slightly weaker.

I downloaded the Nvidia version of POPOS, and I have a GTX 1660 Super.
I'd like to know if there are any drivers or anything I can download to optimize games. I'm new to Linux and I'm testing it out before migrating.
