Getting slight but noticeable input lag (CachyOS, KDE X11)
I play competitive fps games, and I am still getting slight input lag to my mouse movements and keypresses, although I have stable 700fps in my main game. I have RTX 5050 GPU. I’ve disabled vsync from NVIDIA control panel, disabled compositor, tried different versions of Proton, tried both game-performance and gamemode. Still getting the input lag.
Any ideas on what to try next? All ideas are appreciated as I feel a bit lost atm!

UNOFFICIAL *NIX LAUNCHER FOR MINECRAFT
I used the minecraft bedrock launcher I found on Discovery. I own both java and bedrock but I'm trying to make it work for bedrock. I already managed to make it work for java but this message keeps popping up after I press play in the bedrock launcher. Should I authorize this? I checked videos and this doesn't show up for others. So I assume it has something to do with java, maybe. I used prism launcher for java. Thank you!

Easier than I thought
To anyone considering moving to Linux but worried about game support and having an Nvidia GPU fear not. I too had these worrys a short time ago. Even did a bit of distro hopping. And most supported my 50 series GPU right outa the box and if the distro didn't it took less than 5 minutes to install the correct drivers. I've been off and on for Linux for a few years now. But never on my main gaming PC. Till now. Also you don't have to have a "gaming distro" to play games any distro will most likely work right out of the box. I'm a lifer now. And thanks to all those who helped and will probably help me in the future.

Still have issues with Discord screenshare on Linux using RTX 3060
Decided to make this a thread after some days of troubleshooting and googling around. I just can't get acceptable quality on Discord with screensharing. I tried using Vesktop and Equibop which were common suggestions from others, but while they allow me to finally stream with sound, the stream quality careens into a stuttery mess after a few seconds. If I choose "Prefer Smoothness", the quality is garbage (naturally) but the stream still becomes messy and stuttery after a while. When I choose "Prefer Quality", the stream looks like I want it to look - except after 10 seconds it becomes stuttery and unwatchable as well. Sometimes, the stream will also say "Stream Failed to Start: Error" and it will only work again when I disable Hardware Acceleration.
Strangely enough, the regular flatpak discord client is the only one that can keep the quality afloat, but it also stutters after streaming for a few seconds and the sound (depending on the game there's no sound but some games do have sound) begins to lag with the stream as well (on vesktop client it doesn't, the sound stays perfect but the image will still be bad). For now I have resorted to hosting with Sunshine and my friends watch my game over Moonlight, which works perfectly, but I can't force everyone to get Moonlight + LogMeInHamachi every time they want to watch me stream, and I don't want to push 2 entirely unrelated programs/tools on to people all the damn time. Also, I don't have this issue on Windows at all (but I'd really prefer not to use Windows anymore). I have RTX 3060 and Intel i9-11900 processor with 32 GB RAM.
My guess is that Discord on Linux (no matter the client) still uses CPU encoding of sorts instead of GPU encoding. Unfortunately i have no idea how to go on about fixing this anymore. Does anyone have any better idea? I'd be willing to distro hop as well if Bazzite is the issue but I somehow doubt it
Something that could help is being able to change the streaming codec somehow like I can with Sunshine, but I wouldn't know how to, or if that's even possible.

performance issues
Discord bad screenshare situation
Is it only for me or does this affects generally everyone that has ever tried to screen share in Discord in linux and noticed that switching between 720p and 480p does not have a single difference? Why the hell 720p still looks like 480p? It looks awful for full screen and i cant see to find a solution for this, and im tired of google just regurgitating any AI response with a bunch of fucking nonsense in it, see the following video:

Sims 4 hotkeys
Hi, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS) yesterday. I've managed to get Sims 4 to run smoothly (using Steam/ProtonDB).
But there's one small-ish thing I haven't found a solution for: The hotkeys seem to be switched/altered compared to Windows. For example, I'm able to move objects up or down using 8 and 9 (instead of [ or ] keys under Windows).
But how to size objects down? I can only size them up using the + key. Does anyone know the hotkey for sizing them down?
As far as I know, there's no option to view or alter the hotkeys.

anyone here know why the binding of isaac: rebirth(with dlcs) might not work for me?
for starters I'm on linux mint 22 x86_64 and i have steam from official deb, the game and proton is on my main drive on ext4 and i have tried to reinstall steam, the game files are fine i think cause flatpak version of steam does launch it fine but its flatpak and if possible i'm trying to avoid it as much as possible as it doesn't play nice with my stuff, i can't find logs for isaac and i have no idea why it won't launch atp.
if there's some logs or sum that might help then just ask, i'm lowkey down bad to fix it rn

About a week ago i didn't even know what Linux is and here we are.
I tried bunch of distros and decided to install Bazzite with GNOME. So happy so far. I didn't even know that Linux is a kernel about a week ago.
Deleted the Windows 11, didn't bother with dual-booting as my games already running on Linux.
Working well on a Full-AMD gaming laptop. ASUS TUF A16 Advantage Edition with Ryzen 7 7435HS and a Radeon RX 7600S 8GB GDDR6.
Trying to figure out how to install asusctl.

Hytale Linux
Sick and tired of devs using this sub for promotion
Especially the most recent one who literally said in the title the game doesn't have a linux release yet. "Coming soon" ™️
Like seriously WTF? How shameless can you be?
I feel like all I ever see from this sub are devs abusing this sub for promotion of their games.
Can't something be done about that?

Error with the Rockstar launcher
Every time I try to open GTA 5 Enhanced, I get this Rockstar launcher update error. If I click OK, the game just doesn't open and gets stuck on an infinite loading screen. Does anyone know how to solve this? (Note: This happened out of nowhere. One day I was playing normally, closed the game to open another, then tried to open GTA again and this message started appearing, without me having done anything, downloaded anything, restarted or turned it off.)
My system description: Kernel: Linux 6.18.5-zen1-1-zen OS: Arch Linux (with Wayland) GPU: RTX 4060 (I've already updated the drivers to the latest version)

Intel Core I5-13420H
Nvidia RTX 3050 6gb
