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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

Hello everyone,

I have been running into this particular problem: I usually can run Steam games completely fine with the latest Proton-GE version and the PROTON_USE_WIN3D=1 %command%. (I have to use the option because otherwise the games will either have a black/gray screen or get stuck on a "screenshot" of whatever is behind the window upon launch.

However, it happened now twice that this stopped working and it gave me the DirectX11 error message, that it couldn't initialize graphics. The first time was after I did apt-upgrade, the second time was after I installed PolyMC via Flatpak.

Both times I had to reinstall Linux because I didn't know how to fix the issue. Restarting Steam or the PC did not work.

I have Nvidia 4070 graphics card (with nvidia-driver installed). Debian 12 as OS and Steam flatpak (the .deb refused to work, installing it with terminal gives an error message that a dependency is "uninstallable").

Does anyone know what could be the problem here?

Hey folks,

I just finished installing CachyOS on a second drive, and was wondering if it's possible to dual boot Win11 and CachyOS and play Battlefield 6. It's a pretty ridiculous question now that I'm typing it out.

I have GRUB set up as my bootloader, and the bios boot sequence using the CachyOS drive. To get this working I had to set the operating system in 'Secure Boot' to 'Other OS' - otherwise when trying to boot it would spit out an 'unauthorized changes on the firmware, operating system or UEFI drivers' error, and just boot Win11.

However with secure boot set to 'Other OS' BF6 won't run in Win11 as it thinks secure boot is disabled - thanks javelin anti cheat, or I guess people who cheat in online games?

Everything else seems to work really well, and I'm hoping that to play battlefield won't require bios changes every time?!

Linux gaming has reached a new milestone. According to GamingOnLinux, the October 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows Linux systems now account for 3.05% of all active Steam users, the first time the platform has broken the 3% barrier. The surge highlights continued momentum in Linux gaming adoption, likely boosted by the approaching end of Windows 10 support.
