Other News about gaming on Linux
I was scrolling twitter and saw this, this might indirectly make roblox unplayable on linux (again). idk how sober works but it might fall under AndroidEmulatorKick. Please tell me if i'm wrong.

Lutris How Long To Beat and Game Identifier Question?
So I made the switch to Linux Mint from Windows. My first taste of Linux gaming was the Steam Deck. What I like about the Steam Deck is having a Decky plugin for How Long To Beat and being able to change the artwork of non Steam games. Is there a way to do something similar with Lutris? Or maybe Heroic (never used it)?
Also Lutris auto populates some artwork for a game based on the Name/Identifier, but it runs into issues. For example, God of War populates the OG GoW from the 90s not 2018 and I can't figure out how to make it populate 2018. I know I could manually change the artwork, but it would be great if there was a way to do it automatically. So how can I find out the correct identifiers for games?

Recently enlightened linux fan, using windows 11 on my new prized gaming pc but getting frustrated by the windows-like user experience. What can I expect if I make the switch?
Just built a badass (relative for a computer science college student) PC. Rx 7900xt, created a bot to snipe r7 9800x3d, got way into SSD performance metrics that I won't even admit what I got, and definitely didn't cheap out on the rest.
I love my new PC, it's all I wanted for a long time. But something feels missing; my previous PC (old, slow Dell) was running Kali as I had a passing interest in hacking and fell in love with Linux on my last internship. I want to game and feel the full power of this beautiful hardware, but I don't want to be back here on Windows...... again
I have above-average knowledge of Linux commands and bash scripting, and I know the Linux filesystem well enough that until I type cd / I want to know what I can expect if I take this journey and join the team. How many hard-to-diagnose bugs or weird dependency conflicts could I possibly run into, taking time away from my gaming experience? Or should I just say fuck it and go all in? I want your honest advice on which distro to consider for the best gaming experience compatible with the most games possible. And are the Windows games in my Steam library just going to be largely unplayable? And even if I run a Windows game using the Proton and Wine, would I lose significant FPS because these games are optimized and intended to run on the Windows operating system?
Is it an arduous journey with less than spectacular results, but how soon could we see a change with the development of steam os? How will Microsoft react if OSS steals his bitch lmao?
Also, if yes, please provide distro recommendations. Ubuntu is cool, but I have an autistic urge for a more challenging, less user-friendly Linux so that I can become a Linux god.

Elder Scrolls Online Freezing after random amount of time playing
I've been having an issue where after a seemingly random amount of time(never immediate, usually at least after like 10 minutes of play) the game will freeze and I'll need to kill the process. I haven't seen anyone else reporting this issue with this game and since the crash does not produce any sort of log I can't pinpoint exactly what is happening.
I've tried the various different versions of proton + proton-GE, tried installing it via lutris instead. I just can't seem to pinpoint whats going wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gaming with a 9950X3D
I'm installing a 9950X3D this weekend and and I'm wondering how the core parking works with games? For instance is it necessary with say BG3? Do I have to set it before every game? If so what is the best method?

I switched from Windows 11 to Arch Linux, best decision ever!
Best option for gaming + content creation
TL;DR - Content creator that may swap from Win10 to Linux Mint, want to see if running native, using a separate boot drive for Windows, a virtual machine, or using compatibility layers like wine/proton would be best for gaming, recording, and editing. I'd like an efficient but consistently stable way to play games, record them as I play, and get those recordings back to Linux for editing so I use Windows as little as possible.
Extra details - I recently looked into swapping to Linux and I believe I'd like to go with Mint, at least to start off. I love the idea of getting away from Microsoft and their bloatware, I've looked at a bunch of "things you should know" and FAQs both here and elsewhere, and confirmed all the programs I care about are available on Linux. But I was curious what most people found the most success with. Specifically though, I'd like advice on what I should do if I will use my pc mostly to game, record, and edit videos for making YouTube content. Besides that I just stream Netflix and such, so the main goal is content creation with an efficient workflow.
I don't play a huge assortment of games, so it'll probably be focused on a select few and I'm not sure how many will be even be available natively. But if we assume none will, how effective are Wine and Proton and the like on newer games and is that more consistent than a separate windows drive or a virtual machine?
My main game right now is Monster Hunter Wilds even though its an optimization mess currently. Anyone have info on how well that runs on Linux? I've found mixed results online.
If I have to boot to windows everytime I wanted to play games, I may not even swap over because that sounds like a pain in the ass. I've also had some not great experiences with virtual machines in the past so I'm leary to do that, but that was 10+ years ago. And I'm not even sure how the whole system would work getting the recordings back over to Linux for editing with either of those options...so it may not be feasible for what I want to do. What I'd like is an efficient but consistently stable way to play games, record them as I play, and get those recordings back to Linux for editing so I use Windows as little as possible. If I only have to boot to Windows to be able to run games smoothly and could do everything else in Linux...that may be worth it to me but I'm not sure.
Any help is very much appreciated 🙏

KSP running out of memory on linux, but not on windows (when entering the VAB)
I play KSP with quite a few mods, which uses a lot of RAM, but in the past my pc has been able to handle it fine with 32 GB. However, I've noticed recently that it keeps crashing on linux when I enter the VAB, while it doesn't on windows. I have the same mods and save file on both.
I've looked at the memory usage all throughout the game startup on both OSes and it looks nearly the same, except that on linux when I enter the VAB the memory jumps from ~20GB used all the way to 32GB and then crashes, while on windows it doesn't increase at all.
Is this some sort of fundamental problem with KSP? If not, is there something I can do to fix it? I haven't really tried anything myself yet because I don't even know what to try
I use endeavourOS and windows 10 (dualbooted if that wasn't clear)

Audio monitoring Bazzite
Hi all, I've decided to try out Linux and chose bazzite as I pretty much just play steam games. I've got almost everything I need working but I for the life of me can't figure out how to monitor my own mic.
I use a Corsair HS80 RGB which uses iCUE on windows which then allows me to monitor my audio. I've been looking around for the past hour and not really found anything that makes sense to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tested the Gigabyte Aorus Elite 9070 XT with Cyberpunk on linux
Almost 3 x performance compared to my old RX 7600, its a beast. (1080p, no upscaling, no RT, no frame gen) Also i'm on a pretty old mobo, Asus b350 plus, so only pcie 3.0, still does the job.

Few questions after using Mint for a few months.
So, I've used Mint on and off besides Windows and I have a few questions regarding other distros. So, does newer packages and NVIDIA drivers help with performance issues? Sometimes my games are stuttering badly on Mint. And I don't really know that it's the DE (Cinnamon), the older drivers and packages that are on Mint, or NVIDIA is just this bad on Linux especially when it comes to DX12 games. Oh, and I've been getting into VRR on Windows, which DE supports it best? KDE or GNOME or it doesn't matter? And how is input lag on other DEs? Cinnamon feels a little bit weird but not too bad, it's usable. I plan to use X11 because my laptop seems to be working better when it comes to which GPU to use. And how well is NVIDIA Features like Reflex or DLSS supported?

Zenless Zone Zero 100% CPU usage since today
Solution/FIx - is offline launch:
- Run launcher
- turn off internet
- click Play in launcher to launch game
- wait for error message in login screen in game
- turn on internet - should be no 100% usage then
Problem is - very high CPU usage by game Zenless Zone Zero. (since today 1.6 update)
For me it 100% all cores and FPS <60.
Expected - for me is ~70% CPU usage with lagless-smooth 60FPS.
(on powerful PC it may be not problem, but it very noticeable on low-mid-PC or on SteamDeck this will just drain battery)
Exact same as in Genshin https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ddlfly/genshin_100_cpu_usage_since_today/
Same as in Genshin - kernel/wine/proton does not matter.
