Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I'm hoping I can get some good suggestions for running CS2 on Manjaro Linux.

This is my second Manjaro Linux installation, and out of the box my first installation worked a lot better than it currently does. I get a lot of stuttering lag about every 3 seconds. A second issue, although this was also an issue on my original Manjaro linux installation as well, is every time I launch the game, it has to process the vulkan shaders which takes longer than I'd like.

I'm trying to play games with my PS5 controller on CachyOS. The controller works, but the touchpad gives incorrect inputs in each game, even ones that officially support DualSense natively.

Ex: In Rise of the Ronin the touchpad acts as if I've pressed one of the attack buttons. The same thing happens in Lies of P and all others I've tried.

Things I have tried: Completely disabling Steam Input for games when a using PS5 controller, disabling controller input for desktop mode and changing the touchpad to do 'nothing' when Steam input is enabled. Nothing has helped so far. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks!

I have a laptop with a second gen i5 not capable of running vulkan graphics. It cannot fit a GPU. Running the games themselves shouldn't be an issue, it has 16 GB RAM (DDR3) and essentially zero background processes running. I just would like some that it can run. (AntiX is the distro)

Specifically, are the settings applied to the CPU/MB/BIOS directly? Or is on the OS/application layer?

Reasoning - I had high temps (~95c) on my 7900x. After some research, this is normal but can be kept lower using Eco mode via Ryzen Master Utility (in turn prolonging life) without much performance drop which I’m okay with loosing.

This works in Windows as expected, but my main boot is Linux (arch). So if I apply this on Windows partition, would it effectively work in Eco mode on Linux, or should I somehow manage that separately? I see that Ryzen MU doesn’t run on Linux, so if so I’d need a separate solution, maybe similar controls in my bios directly?

Any insight is appreciate as I’m new to AMD, and new to gaming on Linux (but not Linux itself)! <3

As per the title. Anyone used a dual mode monitor in linux? Has there been any issues? Or does it just work normally? I'm considering getting one in a few months but i wanna make sure theres no funny business with wayland or anything else that could get in the way before purchasing. Currently eyeing off the 5K/1440p Dual mode monitors being announced at CES at the moment.

Just looking for experiences! My desktop is still on windows, I don't touch multiplayer for anything other than fighting games and FPS that aren't things like Battlefield 4. And I dunno, Nvidia funding Palantir is disgusting to me.

so... while installing steam, it tries to install nvidia-utils-590.48.01-1, while i have the -580xx- version because of this (not using this driver specifically makes the background blank and the system to run at what feels like 10 fps) and they conflict:

sknq@arch ~> yay -S steam [...] :: nvidia-utils-590.48.01-1 and nvidia-580xx-utils-580.119.02-2 are in conflict (nvidia-libgl). Remove nvidia-580xx-utils? [y/N] n error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: nvidia-utils-590.48.01-1 and nvidia-580xx-utils-580.119.02-2 are in conflict -> error installing repo packages sknq@arch ~ [1]>

any solutions for making steam run on these drivers?

I have assetto corsa running fairly well, but a mod window that pops up in game is grey (I cant see anything, not meaning i see settings but cant use them)

I'm Playing A/C with content manager and custom shaders patch with advanced game pad assist installed. everything seems to be "working" however I cannot adjust the sliders in the popup window as I cannot see them. (I'm thinking wayland thing) I can tell the advanced game pad assist is working, control is much better than with stock adjusters.

Any ideas or direction I might go to find a fix/workaround for this would be awesome. FWIW before on a previous installation the setting sliders did show up.

I'm running Arch-Hyprland setup. . . . maybe this dropbox link will work.

Not sure what to call this What would be step one in trouble shooting logs ? Is this even fixable ? This is Pop Os, (I know, why don’t you use something more mainstream and supported) it’s the only junk that works for my shitbox alright, but i think this is an issue beyond the OS or just Wayland as from what I can tell cause a load of other issues.

Well I'm running Mint 22.2, and I'm trying to install GTA III, as Rockstar won't let me buy the game on steam anymore, I'm trying to install it directly from a disk, but there's where the problem starts, it won't let me install it, just gives me an error "Your OS is not supported" when I start the setup.exe.

First of all sorry for my english. I've been using linux for 2 years, but only for programming and daily tasks. A week ago I installed POP_OS on mybdesktop computer for gaming, everything okey, most games like dbd or re works great and overwatch too, but tw o days ago after an update the game was unplayable. I searched on internet and tryied most known proton versions, settings but didn't work. I'm new to linux for gaming so any help will work for me.

Btw: I have a 2060, intel processor i5, 16gb ram and using X11 not wayland

I made this post nearly a year ago, and I thought an update on how it's going might be worthwhile. TL;DR - Everything's been great, I don't think about or tinker with my OS much anymore, I just use my computer.

Background

A year ago, I switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux because of Windows 10 going EOL and my gaming experiences on SteamOS with the Steam Deck. I'm running Arch (btw) with KDE Plasma, on a system with an AMD GPU. I ran into a few problems in my first week, but overall I was very pleased with the experience, and surprised with how easy most things were.

After A Year

So I'm happy to report that after a year, Linux has done the thing any good OS does, and it has pretty much fully faded into the background of my day-to-day computer usage. It's no longer a project to work on, it's just my computer. I still run into issues here and there, but by-and-large everything is working great, and I don't really think much about my OS, I just use my computer to do the stuff I want to do (mostly gaming). I haven't run into a single thing that's felt insurmountable, or that made me consider returning to Windows.

Gaming Experience

Overall, gaming continues to be a nearly painless experience, much the same as it was in the first week. Nearly any game I want to play through Steam just works with no tinkering whatsoever, and thankfully I'm not interested in playing the anti-cheat-blocked games.

I did eventually get Lutris working and figured it out for Battle.net and Ubisoft games, though I did have to do some troubleshooting when some game/launcher updates happened and made the launchers start crashing on launch. I installed Proton-GE and through fiddling around with which version of Proton/Wine Lutris was using as a runner I was able to get them to work, and after some Proton updates I was able to switch back to defaults and they worked again, so I think that's just part of the experience when using non-Steam stuff on Linux.

Though I also realized that apparently Lutris isn't being developed anymore, so I'll probably have to find an alternative at some point, though for now Lutris is still working for everything I want it to do, and I'm a very "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of person, so I'll replace Lutris when I need to, not before.

Problems

I ran into a few problems over the year, some that I was able to solve, others that I just kind of ignored and they went away on their own.

• Mouse Driver Issues

I have a Logitech G502 HERO, and for a while I was having issues where the DPI settings on the mouse would inexplicably revert to a default low value, effectively significantly changing my perceived mouse sensitivity. I used libratbag to be able to use ratbagctl to modify the mouse's settings. This mostly worked, and as far as I can tell libratbag itself worked flawlessly, but I had numerous issues where I'd change the active settings profile on the mouse or change the DPI setting of the profile and it would seem to take effect through the terminal, but it didn't actually change the mouse's behavior.

I was always able to get it to work after fiddling with different stuff like deleting extraneous profiles, changing the DPI I wanted to the default and changing all others to 0, or things like that, but it always felt like I was fighting against the mouse a little bit.

However I think this might have been in some way triggered by the game I was playing at the time, because it was a semi-regular thing while I was playing World of Warcraft, but hasn't re-occurred since I stopped playing. I never found the root cause, but I was always able to fix it when it happened and it hasn't recurred, so I'm fine with it.

• GPU Crashes

Again while playing World of Warcraft, I had very occasional GPU crashes. Basically the game would freeze, my screens would go black, and then KDE would re-launch with all my apps closed. If I re-started the game, I would get very weird graphical issues where the anti-aliasing or something would be totally messed up and the game would look almost cell-shaded, and the UI was seriously glitching out with logos flashing and error messages partially written to the screen and also flashing in-out, it was clearly a mess. I could load into the game and play, but because of all the graphics issues, my framerate would also be very low and it wouldn't really be playable. A full system restart would fix it, so that's what I would do whenever I got one of these crashes, which were occurring maybe once every week or two.

Thankfully this also hasn't recurred since I stopped playing WoW, so I didn't ever find a full solution. I do have this screengrab I took of the system journal when one of the crashes happened, when I was attempting to diagnose/fix the issue.

• KDE Crashes

Another problem that popped up for a while was I would occasionally have KDE itself crash, and when I tried to restart plasmashell, it would pretty much immediately crash again. Initially this would be a rare occurrence and I'd either be able to get it back running again after a few attempts, or a restart would fix it. Eventually this degraded to the point that I was stuck in a plasmashell crash loop, and restarting didn't fix it.

What I discovered was that deleting the KDE config and cache folders would fix the problem, but when I started re-configuring my desktop (replacing the default wallpaper, changing the taskbar to my preferred configuration, etc), the crash loop would start again.

This happened months ago and while I was able to eventually get my preferred wallpaper re-set and changed the default KDE system button to the Arch logo, I still have the taskbar in floating mode because I never changed that back and at this point it doesn't really bother me. But the crashes stopped occurring and it's been months, so I haven't really worried about it.

• USB Boot Issues

This was a problem I wasn't ever able to even fully diagnose. For a while when the system was booting up, the typical stream of "[OK]" messages would stop and it would hang for quite a while on repeatedly sending an error, "usb 1-9: device descriptor read/64, error -110". After a couple minutes of sending this error ~5 times and waiting a bit between each time, the system would finish booting and everything would work normally. So the only real effect of this problem was my boot-up times went from the usual <20s to ~2min. It wasn't really a big deal, so I mostly just lived with it. Eventually it stopped, and hasn't recurred for at least a few months now, though there was a period previously where it also stopped for a few weeks before recurring, so it might still return.

I did do a little research and it seems that the particular USB device it's referring to is my USB 2.0 hub on the motherboard, which I don't really use or care about since all my USB devices are plugged into 3.0+ ports, so because of that and the fact that it hasn't seemingly effected the system beyond longer-than-usual boot times, I haven't really spent much time troubleshooting.

• Old Problems From Week 1

All the problems I talked about in my initial post from the first week have been resolved. The GPU RGB driver updates made it into the kernel in either 6.15 or 6.16 (I forget which at this point), and I was finally able to turn off the rainbow RGB in my case. The I/O chip on my motherboard also got included into the kernel, so I can properly control all my fans through software as well. I never really bothered fixing the issue I had with Wayland global shortcuts, but I found a solution that works for me, and through looking into something unrelated, I realized how I could solve the problem if I wanted to.

Conclusion

Overall, I'm very happy with my experience with Linux so far, and I doubt I'll ever go back to Windows, especially as long as Valve keeps pumping money/devtime into Proton, Fex, SteamOS, and other Linux ecosystem gaming projects.

I've been curious about trying different distros, DEs, or WMs at points, but while I think they'd be interesting (particularly a tiling WM which I've never tried), I'm quite happy with my current setup of Arch and KDE, so I don't really feel any pressure to change.

I still think you need to be at least a little bit tech-y and willing to tinker/troubleshoot if you're going to be comfortable daily driving a Linux machine, but especially after getting over the initial hurdle, it's way more painless than I expected it to be.

Mod Organizer 2's USVFS (User Space Virtual File System) is a Windows tool that creates a virtual file system for modded games, virtually placing the mods in the corresponding folders just before launching the game.

From wine 10.20 to 11.0-rc3 (the most up to date at the time of writing) usvfs do some oddities with the mod placing, I don't know the details but some of the placed folders appear duplicated. I confirmed this the 'Explore Virtual Folder' tool of MO2. This (for me) doesn't stop the game (Skyrim SE) from playing, but it takes a huge amount of time (like 3x) to boot, and also one of the duplicated folders is 'Plugins' meaning that, although plugins themselves would only run once (due to Windows stuff), their configurations may be read twice, making the game do double the work without benefit (and God knows what are the hidden repercussions of running the game on that state).

For the record, from clicking launch to the Skyrim SE menu:
wine 10.19: 1 minute, 34 seconds
wine 10.20: 4 minutes, 7 seconds

The fix I found was to update usvfs: the version that comes with Mod Organizer v2.5.2 is usvfs v0.5.6.1, but in its GitHub the latest release is v0.5.7.2. The latest version does not provoke this bug, and load times are just ~3 seconds longer (unsure of why).

So to apply the fix (make sure MO2 is not running):

1. Download the latest version of usvfs from GitHub (you want the .7z file)
2. Extract the 7z on a temporal folder
3. Copy the contents of the 'bin' folder
4. Paste them on the root folder of your Mod Organizer 2 instance (Overwrite if prompted)

It is recommended to back up the files you are going to replace.
