every single wifi external, bluetooth external, off brand wheel and off brand gamepad just works on windows because they have standardized driversets, something that linux has struggled to implement for a while and only now Valve has cooked up with "SteamInput" (funny name but it does genuinely wonderous work) for wheels and gamepads that wont even get detected by the linux kernel but the things that most people absolutely need, such as wifi cards, they are still heavily unsupported, try plugging in a TP-Link wifi card(one of the most popular) and you will be greeted with either 1kb/s download, unable to connect to any network or literally not even being detected.

Hell, even when you need to install a driver, on windows its Download -> Install, in linux its find git -> install git, dkms, build tools -> build it yourself -> whoops dependency error -> hunt dependency -> 50% brick your system 40% Whoops 2nd dependency error 10% it actually works on first try.

P.S the wifi issue is what happened to me for the previous 3 times(2017, 2019, 2021) when i was switching to linux. No one should be forced to buy NEW hardware to switch and linux really needs to work on standardized drivers that use windows standards. Before you say "you should have known better" i think you need to understand that if you say that then you should not expect linux to succeed, because when Windows wanted to expand to non tech savvy users they made things work with 2 clicks, not by "you should've known better".

While playing world of tanks I'm getting about 100fps max while my CPU and GPU are at about 30%-40% usage while I have a limiter for 144 fps. gamemode, gamescope and setting wine topology didn't change anything. Playing on steam with wine experimental, tried GE and was getting a lot worse fps. Currently running Bazzite, but same issue on CachyOS.

My specs are: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060TI, RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz, system and game on SSD's.

I'm totally new to linux, and just installed Ubuntu Cinnamon yesterday. I'm currently using a steelseries Apex 7 keyboard on my PC, but I saw that Steelseries GG doesn't have a designated linux release. Is there some other alternative I can use to manage the colors and macros I use on my keyboard? Or should I try to run steel series gg through wine?

This is for fixing frequent UE crash with no call stack and no error crashes on AMD GPUs. If you have similar symptoms to these, this could possibly help.

Potential fix: install flatpak steam, uninstall ARC from repo/native steam, clear ALL shader caches before launching on flatpak steam, and use proton 10.0-4

Flatpak Steam forces its own version of mesa that is stable.

Here's a handy cache clearing script. https://pastebin.com/1hZb4Bah

I hope this information helps someone else to be able to enjoy this game.
