Is it possible to get good game performance in a VM?
Hello beautiful Linux users, future arch Linux user here. The recent news of Microsoft killing support for windows 10 and SomeOrdinaryGamers I’ve been inspired to give Linux a try. What’s holding me back currently is all the games on Xbox game pass ultimate. Would I be able to set up a windows VM and get good game performance? Thanks!

Performance Suggestions
I have a laptop with RTX 4060 and yeah it struggles on DX12 games, are there any tips to mitigate the issue? Maybe at least suggestions for DX9-11 games?
I use portproton to launch games I didn't pay for because I don't wanna repurchase smth that I alr bought on PS5 earlier.
I run CachyOS.

if bf6 turns out to be actually fire...
it would be a shame if it had the same AC as bf2042... but that will probably be the case, sadly

I've just installed Bazzite but whenever I try to start a game nothing happens, it refuses to launch. Any ideas?
Its a clean install of Bazzite, and the only game that will run is Team Fortress 2.

How do i find my installed diablo 4 game.
So i was playing diablo4 on my legion go (bazzite) everything waz working well but last night i encountered a problem. The battle net launcher was not working I tried using all the protons but it wont launch. So I remove the launcher from steam then i went to desktop mode to look for it because i wanted to uninstall it but i couldnt find the file so i went ahead and installed another battlenet launcher. After that I added it on my steam library but the problem is i cannot locate my diablo game. Any help?

Audio breaks when running games through Proton.
I have installed Bazzite on my Yoga Pro 9 (2024) laptop. When I run games with native linux support (e.g. Minecraft, or FTL: Faster Than Light) everything runs fine. For all other games, the audio breaks.
Specifically, it appears to vanish to the wrong audio sink. If I tab out, and I swap between audio outputs from the sound settings, then I can typically get the audio to play. However, the second I switch the game back into focus, the audio once again disappears.
The behavior is the same regardless of if I only have the laptop's in-built audio, or if I add a HDMI sink, or a Bluetooth output, etc. Natively running games audio works, and all games ran through proton exhibit the same behavior. Incidentally, I also tested an installation of CachyOS on the same laptop, and the issue was perfectly replicated on that too.
I have searched around online and I cannot find anyone else with a similar issue.
I would LOVE to not have to reinstall windows on this machine. If anyone can help, I would be immensely grateful.
If any additional information on hardware would be useful, please just ask. Thanks!

New Steam Games with Native Linux Clients, including S.P.L.I.T. - 2025-07-30 Edition
Who remembers playing this game as a kid?
Who remembers playing this classic game back in the '90s? It feels like just yesterday we were huddled around old TVs or chunky monitors, completely immersed in worlds that sparked our imagination. I decided to revisit it and take a trip down memory lane and honestly, it reminded me why we fell in love with gaming in the first place. These games weren’t just entertainment; they were experiences, memories, and a huge part of growing up.

Games laggy: is this linux or hardware issue?
So I have a laptop with 16GB ram on linux mint. I can run games such as skyrim, terraria, and stardew valley perfectly. However, when I try content warning or lethal company, I experience some crazy lag issues even with reduced settings. These are the only games I have tried on here so that is the most info I can give now. I want to play grounded 2, peak, and some other games but I am worried they will run like content warning and lethal company. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Performance issue - power_dpm_force_performance_level
While testing GameMode with the performance CPU governor and power_dpm_force_performance_level set to high in gamemode.ini, i observed a drop in performance instead of the expected improvement.
Initially, i suspected that GameMode itself might be the issue.
To isolate the cause, i first ran a benchmark with only the performance governor enabled, and performance remained consistent with expectations.
I then disabled the performance governor and manually changed power_dpm_force_performance_level from auto to high.
At this point, the performance drop became clearly reproducible.
Thermal throttling has been ruled out—temperatures remain within normal operating limits.
All tests were conducted on fresh installations of both Arch Linux and Gentoo, and the issue was observed consistently across both systems.
Has anyone else ever had this problem and can confirm it?

RX 9070 XT

What???
Linux'da Oyunlarım Açılmıyor!
Linux’ta hiçbir oyunumu oynayamıyorum. Steam’den oyunları başlatınca hiç açılmıyor, ama dosyalardan Wine ile başlatınca sadece The Last of Us 2’nin launcher’ı geliyor. Sonrasında DX12 hatası veriyordu galiba, hatayı tam hatırlamıyorum. Yusuf İpek 'in oyun rehberini izledim, yine de çalışmadı.
Cachy OS ve Zorin OS de aynı sorunu yaşadım.
