Holy Hell, everything just works now. I was having so many issues getting games to run as good as on Windows but I have been going through my favorite games and it's now butter smooth start ups.

Just wanted to gush a bit and kick myself for not doing this sooner

Hi all I've been gaming on linux for about a year now everything's been going quite smoothly.

I recently purchased Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr and whenever I launch the game I can hear the games cinematic intro movie and right after it the main menu music but safe for the game's cursor the game's window is entirely black.

Strangely the game tuns perfectly fine on both Gnome and KDE.

Os: Cachy os

Cpu: Ryzen 7 5800x

Gpu: RTX 4070

I'm running the native Linux x64 version of the game. It doesn't work on Discord nor Vesktop but my RPC is enabled and works fine. I'm not sure what to do to fix it, all of the guides and forums I've looked at haven't helped.

I have the native Arch repository version of Vesktop and not the Flatpak version.

Hey guys, I'm slowly moving my main rig to Linux. It's mostly for gaming and I'm currently running an RTX 4060.

I've been looking at Bazzite, specifically the Desktop image with KDE (not the handheld mode), versus just installing the standard Fedora KDE Spin. Since Bazzite is based on Fedora, is there any actual gaming performance difference between them?

I really just want the best FPS and a smooth experience with my Nvidia card without too much hassle. Is Bazzite's pre-configuration worth it for the performance, or is standard Fedora basically the same? Thanks!

I saw that the FAQ 2.0 says that AMD is better supported than Nvidia in linux, but the FAQ looks like it's more than 1 year old (according to the age of the thread stickied in this subreddit) so I was wondering if that's still the case? Is it still recommended to get the AMD?

I'm looking to purchase either the RTX 5070, Radeon 9070 or 9060XT so doing some research on what's the ideal choice.

Thanks for any thoughts!

EDIT: Is there intuitive graphical interface support for undervolting and power limiting graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia?

Hey, I am trying to play arc raiders on linux mint and the game runs at 120fps as per the ingame fps counter, but visually, 3d elements run at about 60ish.

The menus don't though and animations run normally.

Can anyone help?

Hey guys I'm running fedora workstation as I prefer gnome over KDE bit the one thing thats really frustrating is the fractal scaling. I want to run at 125% but when I open. My game (guild wars 2) through steam its even smaller than if I were to run it at 100%. Is there any way around this? Like running the game at 100% and keeping the desktop at 125% Many thanks

Hey everyone!

I've been a long-time lover of Linux, and with the news of Windows 11 recall, I finally decided to make the leap. I have completely thrown windows in the trash and have no plans to return. I'm currently using Zorin OS and ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT! - However, I do have a few issues I need help resolving! Firstly, I'm a streamer & content creator (wannabe/hobbyist) so OBS (or similar) is something I desperately need to work. I'm currently unable to make that happen.

So let's start from scratch - I need null sinks and monitors for spotify, discord & game audio (arc raiders)

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=spotify-sink-main

pactl load-module module-loopback source=spotify.monitor sink=<my headset>

This works flawlessly, I open pavucontrol and edit the playback/recording to match. I go on OBS and create a new audio capture of my sink. The audio working on OBS is a COIN FLIP!! It works sometimes, other times not.

Also, I've used the default.pa to create persistence which has never worked for me.

I have consulted with AI and browsed the web, tried reading the help file... I just can't get it to work. Maybe I just don't understand yet? AI says I need to create some kind of script that runs on startup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I use Linux on my gaming rig, and I have the chance to upgrade my 4070 to a 9070xt for roughly $340 (trading in current GPU+sale).

It seems Nvidia cards are slowly getting better on Linux, so I’m wondering if it is worthwhile to hop to AMD? I’ve also had a bad experience with an AMD card in the past where it got bricked after a driver update, and no amount of DDU and talking to actual AMD support could fix it.

AM5, 32 GB, 7800x3d are current specs

So after installing Vinegar from the AUR because the flatpak version didn't work I came across an issue where my mouse sensitivity was too high when moving the camera and someone said to use Proton-GE in this situation but how do I do that?

Hi!

At the moment I am trying to reduce the awful antialiasing in Elite Dangerous.

So I used Proton-Ge and also tried the latest CachyOS-Proton in Steam to run the game - both work great, no problems with that.

But the in-game FSR (version 1) is so bad that the idea is to use proton FSR.

So I set up WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_MODE=quality in Steam's start parameters to create a downsample resolution.

As I read the docs this should create a resolution option in the game called "quality" to choose from in graphics settings. Well, it doesn't.

I also tried to set up a WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_CUSTOM_MODE. Same result.

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH on the other hand seems to work.
(0 max sharpening, 5 no sharpening)

What am I missing or are there more prerequisites to make it work?

Thanks for reading...

Cheers!

Hi everyone! I was tired of all the Windows shennanigans in my Blade 14 2025 with a 4070, and I decided to install Bazzite on it, believing that I would have a lot of problems with missing propietary drivers.

Then I just installed i¡the open-nvidia bazzite version, and literally everything was working so smoothly, just needing one extra command "ujust install-openrazer" and now literallly EVERYTHING works, incredibly well I might add. Games perform extremely well, with fully working VRR on the build in display, even despite the known nvidia performance loss on DX12.

But then I saw something, using HDMI to my LGCX 4K 120Hz, even though I was configuring the games at 2560x1440, I was getting WAY less performance than on the built in 2560x1600 laptop display, like, more than half FPS. I then tried lowering the KDE DESKTOP resolution, to 2K, and I gain some FPS, but not every FPS, I lowered the desktop to 1080p, I almost got the same FPS in game. The games always were at 2K at fullscreen on all these tests.

Has anyone encountered these desktop resultion-dependant performance problem on bazzite with a laptop with amd/nvidia hybrid graphics?
