I'm thinking on changing to Linux, but i'm still not sure

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 10:47

Recently I been watching a lot of videos talking about how my OS, Windows 11, is the biggest shit ever made. I found accusations of having bloatware and spyware, severe optimization issues, and, this one is from my experience, a ton of stuff that i never use.

I also been hearing that they want to implement some AI stuff on Windows 12 that will require new hardware, and i'm not in the mood to start planning new upgrades to my PC, specially since I find utterly unnecessary to have an AI on my OS.

So, I been thinking on changing to Linux, but i have some doubts regarding the OS and compatibility.

First of, what OS should i use? My strongest candidate right now is CachyOS, since it integrates a gaming configuration, but i'm not sure if there's a better option.

Secondly, and the most important, i want to know if there will be losses in my library. I know that Steam has Proton, that system that allows some Windows games to run on Linux, but the thing is i also have games on GOG and only a few are natively compatible with Linux. There's a solution to that, or i'm basically screwed?

Those are the specific things that i want to know, but i will also appreciate information regarding security or performance.

Poor gaming performance on Linux (Zorin OS)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 10:47

So far performance has been poor on zorin os, with cs2 going from 100-120 fps on windows to 40-45 fps on zorin. I've checked for drivers, and even installed with the nvidia graphics driver option, and have no idea what to do further on

Cod "online" | native cod mobile pc port on linux support.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 10:47

cod mobile pc port, "cod online". has anyone gotten the game to work or know how to on linux. farthest i have reached was the launcher installed and trying to hit play but the "ace" anti cheat fails to load. lemme know if anyone has any info on the matter. i cant play any cods from mw2019 and up through official means. i know donesk and various other projects exist for those titles but i rather not pirate a game i already own on steam. but with this game being free and somewhat enjoyable i would like to play without the need of windows if possible.

Lutris Environmental Variables don't affect Steam games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 10:44

I use Lutris a launcher for all my games, I set up some global env variables such as Proton_enable_wayland, mangohud etc. when i launch non-steam games it works perfectly fine but for steam games it seems that Steam completely ignores all settings from Lutris? In the end I always have to copy my env variables and paste them into each steam game manually which i find kind of annoying and i just wish there was an easy way to apply all the ones i want automatically while maintaining the option to change them on a per game basis

Having issues getting nvidia-driver <550 on Pop! OS for my 1080 ti

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 10:18

Hi!

I recently moved to Pop! OS 20. LTS (Not the one with nvidia drivers bundled). Now i am having issues with the 580 nvidia driver on my setup. At random times the screen completley freezes and i have to reboot and hard reset the gpu. For some reason when i try to install the 545 or any other <550 nvidia driver, it reroutes it to 580 in apt. In the image attached apt automatically chooses the first package, which is labled 545 but is actually 580.

I have tried:
- Using nouveau driver, still causes the same crashes (but recovers and reboots by itself)
- explicitly asking for the actual 545 (second package in image) with apt. But refuses.

The Ultimate Distro For Zen 2 APU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 10:12

I have a laptop that uses a Zen 2 APU. Benchmarks show that I can reach playable performance in some games such as Witcher 3, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham Knight. And I'm very happy to be able to play these masterpieces. But I need maximum performance, even 5 percent is very important. That's why I need your advice. Please provide concrete evidence of what I should choose.

[TF2] TF2 freezes for a few seconds every couple of minutes on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 09:14

Hey everyone, I recently started playing Team Fortress 2 on Linux (Nobara, KDE, Wayland, Intel i3 11th gen with UHD Graphics and 8GB RAM).

The game runs fine, but every 2–3 minutes it freezes for a few seconds — only the game, not the whole system. After that it continues normally.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes or launch options that could help?

Dota 2 memory leak

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Oktober 2025 - 09:03

Dota 2 seems to have a memory leak that results in a system crash. The speed of the leak seems to depend on the quality of graphics being used

I have tried the following without success

- Using different compatibility tools

w/o compatibility tool - leak linux runtime - leak hotfix - vac experimental - vac proton 9 - vac proton 10 - vac

- This launch option: LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

- Reinstalling the game

- Launching steam from terminal

- Disabling shader pre-caching in settings > downloads > shader pre-caching

- Installing AMD's drivers from their website

- Running the program in borderless window

System:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600

GPU: AMD Radeon™ RX 6650 XT
RAM: 16.0 GiB

Kernel: Linux 6.14.0-33-generic

Suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!
