How to use corsair AIO arch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 06:17

I have tried both liquidctl and coolercontrol and both have caused imense problems. From flashing lights to causing ram issues. and cooler control doesnt do anything at all other then throwing a monstorous amount of errors about bad gateway error which i can find no documentation about.

As for liquidctl

liquidctl list:
Device #0: Corsair Commander Core XT (broken)
Device #1: ASUS Aura LED Controller
Device #2: Corsair Commander ST (broken)

and it properly shows rpms and temperatures in liquidctl status
however any attempt to do anything with any fan results in errors

liquidctl -m "Commander Core XT" set fans speed 20 0 50 50 70 100

returns : ERROR: Corsair Commander Core XT (broken): unspecified liquidctl error

Im running the latest version of arch linux with kernal 6.19.11-zen1-1-zen

Everyone else seems to have it work perfectly after installing for both liquidctl and coolercontrol but neither are working and causing DRAM errors on my pc. I have tested on windows stress tests and everything is fine. I cant test anything on linux at the moment as my cpu temps spike to 80C just installing something from the AUR. The aio i have is the corsair elite capellix h100i where the pump is connected to the Comander Core as its the only thing with its pripority connector and all the fans and RGB are connected to the Comander Core XT.
Can someone help me please

Is there a program to have custom Discord Rich Presence based on what applications are running?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 06:11

Im looking for a program so I can make it so any application I want can be displayed as my rich presence on Discord.

Linux-Discord-Rich-Presence works okay but its really annoying to create a config file for each program that exists and then update a custom launch script for the programs .desktop file and in any game launchers to run a custom script that changes it using this tool.

For example I would set up a config file for VLC and set my own name, image, status, details and small image and choose the process name. Then once that process is seen running it changes my Discord rich presence to the info i inputted for the VLC configuration.

I really hate the built in Discord solution as if the application doesnt have an image in their database then screw you no image, same with not being able to set a status, details but at least you can change the name.

Frustrated with my kubuntu install, intel GPU problems and dell touchpad

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 04:17

Suggested this was more than a question in the newbie thread so here goes... Running kubuntu on a good Dell business laptop (9450), no gaming monster but more than enough for my purposes (civ7, hopefully BG3 if I get this solved). Not that new to linux, but very new to gaming on linux (database servers don't need graphics drivers) and I'm frustrated being back at intermediate level like its my first win98 PC I built.

Week and a bit ago, I ran updates and it all went to hell. Boot to black screen, eventually figgured out I could interrupt boot into the grub menu, then boot options menu, finish boot normally and it worked. Last week another update and that stopped being necessary so it boots normally now, but civ 7 says drivers aren't compatible and fails to load. I tried Slay the Spire 2, loads but does not work well. All my search terms lead me off into nvidia vs AMD land, and I have neither. Tried forcing the Xe drivers adding modprobe entries to grub conf but that fails too, so I'm back to just the default line.

Even before this, Civ would have periodic moments where everything hung up for 6 seconds or so, and the touchpad would occasionally forget gestures exist and pretend like it's 2007 The touchpad went back to normal when I put it to sleep for a moment so I had some troubleshooting action there I was starting when this happened. Did I choose a bad distro/DE combo? Or, if not "bad" exactly, is there a better option for my setup? People talk about linux gaming in ways that make me feel that I've got an odd case, but I'm not sure where to go with it next.

Goverlay not working in a game in specific.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 02:01

I tried removing that space in the Steam folders, changing the name for GPBikes, GP-Bikes and GP_Bikes, but it didn't work.

I already tried using mangohud %command% and it's working. I also checked the vkBasalt.conf file and everything is in order, so I don't know exactly what the problem could be.

I've already enabled vkBasalt in other games and it works; I'm only having trouble with this one.

EDIT: the game opens, when I try to change the link, it doesn't. ToggleKey is home, I used it and vkBasalt not works.

Goverlay 1.8 WIP

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 01:50

Hey Linux gamers,

i'm working on Goverlay 1.8 release for a couple of weeks now, besides squashing old bugs i'm bringing some new features like:

  • Per game configuration for Mangohud, vkbasalt, optiscaler and tweaks
  • Open game folder / game prefix folder in two clicks
  • Custom dialog to map toggle keyboard keys
  • Some new exportable env variables

But i really would like some feedback on the new interface theme. The idea is to make the interface more modern and less 'Delphi" like, here are some screenshots from the latest nightly.

Anyone know what could be causing this glitch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 01:36

Linux Mint Kernel 6.17.0-20, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070

Currently playing Pragmata on Linux Mint, and I'm coming across a really weird & annoying visual glitch that appears as bright colored spots/orbs of light. Here's the output from inxi -xxACGS, vulkaninfo, and glxinfo. I've tried toggling pretty much every switch in the graphics menu off and on, but nothing gets rid of the blobs; disabling Bloom helped for a second but it came back.

The game is running on Steam using Proton Experimental, and the glitch happens on Hotfix as well. I feel like this has happened before as well; not sure exactly which game it was, but I'm pretty sure it was a similar triple-A type 3D game. Might've been Doom or maybe Battlefield, couldn't say for sure.

Steam Disk Write Error

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 01:09

I reinstalled the game Pillars of Eternity 2 from Steam and now I can't download it anymore, and Steam says there's a disk write error. I'm on Nobara, my disk has the Btrfs format, and everything else works no problem. I can download any other game, it's just Pillars of Eternity 2 that won't work. Any ideas what it could be? I recently updated Nobara, but using the older kernel won't work either.

Steam cloud sync errors on 2 different machines/distros

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:32

Hello, i just recently installed Nobara on my desktop, and i had many problems with steam cloud sync, it appears mostly just an inconvenience, it says cloud sync error when it actually did in fact correctly download the save files.

i thought maybe i had a mistake with the way i installed steam or maybe the OS, but im having the same problems on my laptop with PopOs Gnome, so its completely different hardware, distro, and DE.

Tekken 8 in particular just won't sync at all, this is whats annoying me the most, the error just doesn't go away and the game is actually not synced (i cant find my custom skins). i tried to debug it with Claude and, from reading the log files, it just appears that the Bahrain server is just timing out, tried a VPN to force it to connect to a different server but that also didn't work.

the fact that i have the problem on linux and but not windows makes me think that its an issue on my side, the fact that i have the same sync problems on 2 different linux devices with completely different hardware and software setup, got me completely lost.

hoping to find help on this

Crimson Desert crashing issues when closing the map on Bazzite.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:26

Has anyone experienced crashing on a longer save file only when closing the map to teleport? It seems that initiating the loading screen is a cause for a crash, but only on a long save file.

The game has run fine for the first 100 hours of play, but since crossing that threshhold up to 150hrs the issue is getting way more common, making the game quite frustrating to play.

I have been running the game with these launch args for the whole 150hrs and crashes happen with and without them;

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 RADV_DEBUG=nohiz %command%

I am running the game on a full AMD system with a 7800X3D and 7900XTX with 32GB DDR5 RAM at 6000mt/s

I'm curious if anyone has found a fix for this at all, or maybe had a similar issues in a long hour game and solved it there.

Should I use Nouveau drivers over Nvidia's proprietary on a gtx series 10 card?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:14

I got an almost a decade old gtx 1050ti, using proprietary Nvidia drivers and running Fedora 43 KDE. It's been a while since Nvidia dropped the support for these cards, and I know that it's drivers have some flaws, like making me unable to use 3D Acceleration on VirtManager and having trouble with Vulkan on Waydroid. Searching about the first, I noticed that the open-source drivers do work better with VirtManager, but I saw many people complaining about performance. I mostly game on this PC and it will take many months for me to save for a new GPU, which I plan to be AMD.

Given that situation, is switching to Nouveau a good move? Do it stays way behind proprietary drivers in gaming performance?
