Other News about gaming on Linux
I guess I'm old
I find the argument that Linux is too hard for gaming argument amusing. I started gaming when most PCs had less than 1 meg of RAM (640K usable and 384K for system usage) available to use and we had to twist ourselves into pretzels with custom CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for just about any game you got.
Figuring out if you hardware would even run it, any special drivers for your video card, and memory utilization were often done through trial and error. Piracy was rampant so if you couldn't get it to run, there was no taking a game back to the store. The web didn't exist back then so we used bulletin boards to try to find solutions if we were lucky enough to have a modem.
Seeing the complaints about trying to get a game to run on Linux is just funny and sad.

NVIDIA Optimizes Printing Of Linux Memory Stats For 11% System Time Savings
How is performance on a 4070 + 12600k combo (more detail inside)
Hey all
Ripping out a 500 GB drive from laptop tomorrow, so I can finally throw Bazzite or CachyOS onto my 256 GB NVME this weekend. Still currently need Windows for some anti cheat games and software unfortunately, so it'll be going on the 500GB.
However, planning to get an MSI Claw, Steamdeck or RoG Ally in spring so I can go full Linux on desktop (with exception of specific software)
Just wondering if anyone has the same PC specs as me (or close) and can give me a summary of how games perform.
A quick breakdown:
RTX 4070, 12600k, 32 GB DDR4.Tri monitor setup. Only peripheral software is Logitech Ghub.
I play shooters at 100FPS 1440p and am more than ok with 60 FPS 1440p for everything else as long as the gameplay is smooth with no hiccups.
I also have a 2 TB NVME dedicated to steam games and another 1 TB SSD which will be dedicated to software and such on the Linux side. As mentioned earlier, the 500 GB SSD will contain Windows, specific software and anti cheat games.
Still on Win 10 thanks to ESU, but want to be Linux migrated for 98% of my gaming before summer
Also down the line; I might swap my 4070 for an AMD card, but that's TBD based on my health.
Thank you for any and all help, and have a great day
Cheers

Stellar blade denuvo trigger after changing proton version
Well, just wanted to share this, I have never experienced something like this, after changing proton version a couple times, as I was trying the new dlss version and testing some things, denuvo triggered and I got this error and I did some research and it turns out that I need to wait 24hrs to see if I can play the game, I know Linux is not officially supported and I know now that changing proton versions counts as different installs apparently, but man this was a good lesson to learn, I didn’t like denuvo before but now I get it lol.

Need help modding Graveyard Keeper on Linux (BepInEx + Bottles)
I’m running Graveyard Keeper on an old HP i5 laptop with no dedicated GPU.
OS: Pop!_OS (Linux) I installed a repack of the game using Bottles. The game runs fine at around 30 FPS, which I’m completely okay with.
Now I want to add some quality-of-life mods, mainly things like longer days, less exhaustion, and quick save.
I downloaded a few mods from Nexus Mods. One of them is a longer days mod, but it requires BepInEx and GYK Helper.
The problem is that BepInEx doesn’t seem to work inside the same bottle where the game is installed.
The game launches normally without mods, but once I try setting up BepInEx, nothing loads or the mod just doesn’t get detected.
Has anyone here successfully used BepInEx mods with Graveyard Keeper on Linux, especially through Bottles?
Is there something specific I need to configure in the bottle (runner, DLL overrides, folder structure, launch options, etc.)?
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks 🙏

G733 com linux
Good morning. I'm looking to dual boot and install a Linux distro to test with some games, but I've run into a problem. My headset is the Logitech G733, and even at 100% stock settings, the audio is quite poor; the microphone is the same, it doesn't sound good without the ghub. Does anyone have a Logitech headset and use Linux? Do you have any alternatives to make it at least minimally decent?

Some Q&A from CES demo session with NVIDIA about the native Linux app
How do I mod Heroes of Might and Magic 4?
I have game on GOG (running through Heroic Games) and I wanted to play with GL Warpper mod for 1080p graphics. How do I enable it? I've seen someone suggesting to set WINEDLLOVERRIDE to winnm=n,b or something like that, but it didn't work for me. Any advice?

Stutters after disabling integrated GPU
Recently i've bought a monitor that's not VGA (i had an only VGA monitor with the image connected to mobo with VGA and dedicated graphics were doing all the heavy stuff) and i could disable integrated graphics due to it not doing anything but once i disabled integrated graphics in BIOS i seem to be getting heavy stutters while playing Titanfall 2 and a bit lower performance in general so why is that and how can i make it less stuttery?
Additional info
CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g (upgrading soon)
GPU: RTX 3070
Distro: Linux Mint 22.2
Edit: i do not know if that's the issue because of integrated graphics anymore i enabled it again yet still stuttering

Activating DLSS 4.5 (model preset M) is a hit and miss. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, I am using Archlinux with an RTX 5080, with driver nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01. So far I have been using command line envvars to control the model for DLSS super-sampling successfully, both using Proton GE and Proton Experimental (or stable branches).
Command used was usually:
DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=1024,DLSSGIndicator=2 DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GB200 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_SETTINGS=NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Since DLSS dll 310.5 was made available, this command works fine with Witcher 3, both using render_preset_latest or render_preset_m. The DLSS indicator does indeed shows the model M is used.
However, in Cyberpunk 2077 or Indiana Jones and the GC, this does not work. Actually the exact same command activates model D (for Cyberpunk according to the indicator) or E (for Indiana Jones) in that case, even when specifying render_preset_m. I also tried with switching the DLLs with DLSS Updater instead of using PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 but I see the same issue of model D or E being activated.
Has anyone else seen the issue and am i doing something wrong?

steam games disappeared (sorry for my english)
The power went out at my house while my PC was on. When I turned it back on, my wireless Wi-Fi adapter had stopped working and all my Steam games were uninstalled, even though I had downloaded several the night before. I asked Gemini for help and he suggested finding the common folder (that folder simply disappeared), and told me to add a Steam folder to storage, but it didn't work, it just vanished. What could have happened? Note: I use Fedora last version kne Plasma, I'm new to Linux, I downloaded it this week.

Hollow Knight doesn't work on Heroic Games Launcher
I installed Heroic Games Launcher from Flathub and Clicked Add Games then put in the name of the game after which i ran the installer and it opened and installed the game then i clicked launch and it opened the game and I was able to play it but when i closed it the executable path wasn't even given so i put this inside :-
/home/pradyumny/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Hollow Knight/drive\_c/GOG Games/Hollow Knight/Hollow Knight.exe
when i click play it opens a little white window with logo of hollow knight on it and it also has a progress bar and when its complete it just closes and nothing happens what do i do?
Note: The Game ran first time with the launch button so its unlikely its a dependecy problem and I gave Heroic access to all files on my computer using Flatseal so that also should not be the issue.
**My Computer:-**
- Core i5 10th gen Integrated Graphics
- Endeavour OS
- Hyprland although i also have KDE Plasma(Both Wayland and X11) and Niri
BTW Pardon my english.
