I use Arch as my main distro. I tried CachyOS for a while and didn't like it; it's bloated, and I feel it makes my PC heavier somehow. So, I decided to move back to Arch. Now, the main question: What's the best kernel for gaming? Vanilla or Zen kernel?

This bug is annoying. it makes some object appear and disappear at a distance, tweaked some option, but nothing. Some object disappears completely, and huge one (entire chunk of buildings)

Weird thing is, i didn't have this problem at ALL via the steam version itself, but i don't have the phantom liberty DLC on it.
I'm launching the game via the Heroic game launcher. tweaked things here and there (launching from wine 10.0, Proton 10.0, and proton experimental, used steam runtime) but nothing.

I quite don't understand everything, I'm easily lost and don't have much experience with Linux in general.

Here a Dogtown checkpoint building, at this distance, is just gone.

Reason for the switch

I switched to linux because of the large bloatware on windows and I don't want Microsoft to spy on my data and selling them for ads.

Another reason is, I want to try something new, learn and experience a new OS.

Nobara ( Fedora)

My first linux was Nobara, a fedora fork for gaming. The installation was pretty smooth and steam and proton came preinstalled. Everything was working out of the box. The installation was purely graphical no ClL engagement and I even wondered if I was installing Linux 😂.

The gaming performance is good, freed up my RAM usage more than when gaming on Windows. Also I liked the customisibility of KDE plasma and fell in love with it.

However, I wanted to try something new as Nobara feels like it likes to hold my hand and guide along. It lacked the real linux experience. However its a very good distro for beginners.

Cachy OS ( ARCH)

I came across Cachy OS and it was recommended by many people for giving the best performance due to the BORE scheduler kernel and pacman and AUR which are rolling release which has the latest packages.

I installed it and its similar to Nobara in Arch form. But due to it being Arch, it has more customiziablity. The gaming performance is good, I see good FPS boosts in my games using mangohud. Ard 5% increase.

However pacman package manager have weird syntax, pacman -Syu Paru. Tlits just weird to me and I prefer dnf from Nobara

Fedora with Cachy Kernel

After doing some research and figuring out what I want,

1. I want a good secured OS with SE linux and firewall and stability which Fedora provides.

2. I want a BORE scheduler from Cachy os for gaming performance and access to AUR and latest packages.

3. I want my OS to rewind back if something break.

So I decided on Fedora KDE PLASMA and swap out the kernel with cachy os kernel.

There was a bit of tinkering but with GEMINI help, I was able to write automatic scripts which I can set and forget without touching anything later on.

1. Installation of Fedora OS

The Installation process was simple, I set up my LUKS and installed the os no problem.

It came preinstalled with firefox so I downloaded brave using the brave repo and dnf.

I encountered some issues with brave crashing a couple of times early on which I didn't really experience with Nobara and Cachy. But it got fixed after I ran a script to offload the gpu.

1. Swapping kernels

This is a tricky part but not as tricky as the following part. I just had to remove the Fedora kernel and install cachy os kernel. And set the update priority to cachy os so the Fedora updates wont overwrite it when I update the system.

1. Enabling the secure boot

This was a pain in the ass as cachy os kernel is not really authorised and certified like Fedora.. I have to enroll the MOK keys so the secure boot will recognise it as a trusted os. However it took a few retries to make it work.

I wrote an automated script to manually sign the kernel signature whenever the cachy os kernel update.

1. Gaming performance The gaming performance is pretty good, I got access to different packages using distrobox and the fps is the same as cachy os.

This is my first hybrid linux build so I still have more to learn, but ig its a start.

Backstory: A month ago I saw a guy on a gamedev discord talk about how he is working with kids with special needs. He builds custom trigger devices that are tailored to each kid so they are able to press a mouse button e.g. via a switch they can trigger with their head. He also built a small reaction game app. I found that absolutely awesome, what a chad that guy.

We started talking and together we formed a plan on what would need to be implemented for his kids to be able to play my game. Now a few weeks later, Accessibility Mode is born!

I love that about being a indiedev/solodev. If we get inspired by somebody or something, we can just take that inspiration and run with it. No boardrooms to convince, not 50 different stakeholders to please. If you wanna check out Bubbits, you can https://bubbits.io

Can anyone confirm if the original razer ripsaw rz20-0178 is UVC compliant?

I see there's foss drivers for other stuff from them, so it seems they don't go out of their way to support Linux. Hopefully they at least follow usb device classes?

Basically as title.

Would save new users a lot of time when switching over to Linux for the first time, and most users would of had an NTFS partition if they have been using Windows prior.

I recently bought a second-hand PXN V3 Pro wheel. I’m on Mint. It works great, but the rumble doesn’t work in any games, through the Steam controller settings menu, or through browser-based rumble testers.

I’ve tried switching between X-input and D-input. No results. I’ve even hooked it up to a Windows machine and tested it, it works fine there so it’s not a hardware issue.

Does anyone know how to fix?

I hope this does not come across as just another ‘Which distro to choose’ post.

I have added the specs for my current laptop in the attached image. I have barebones experience with Linux through my steam deck which I had for over 2 years and was able to tinker with it for emulation and stuff via YouTube guides and wikis.

I am aiming to dual boot and keep the stock ssd as my windows drive and my new second ssd as the Linux drive keeping everything separate.

From what I have gathered in my research till now, every distro can do everything, it varies on what you start with, and if you are on a single point release, or quick updates, and the DE (Gnome, kde, etc). Please do add or correct me if I’ve misunderstood.

My personal preference from watching videos on all the major popular distros boils down to:

Pop: being Ubuntu based, friendly for beginners, nvidia isos, but the cons being the Cosmic Desktop still not being totally stable.

Nobara: based on Kde, similar to steam deck, also has nvidia isos, fedora based, a good middle ground for beginners (Debian) and power users(Arch).

Both have good VRR support without additional tinkering as well as being “gaming-distros”.

I will be trying out both and seeing which one I like best via first playing with them on the bootable usb.

I would just like some feedback/comments from the community on whether or not I should be doing something additional or maybe something that I have missed out on. Or perhaps some suggestions or tips to make the process easier.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all, Switched to Linux, installed everything I need but 1 game, and that is Honkai star rail, I searched online if there was a way since I know that 2 other hoyo games apperantly use a different AC from HSR and that's why they run and HSR doesn't, but I found conflicting information about it running or not running, or running but in a TOS way that could get me banned and such, so I just wanted to ask here if anyone has played HSR on Linux here or if the only legitimate way is to play it via GeForce now

Hey everyone new to linux gaming ;) used to just do work,

Has anyone actually managed to get the lsfg-vk port of Lossless Scaling working with Elden Ring Nightreign (or honestly, any Fromsoft title)?

I’ve been bashing my head against the wall trying to get this to run. I’ve tried so many different tweaks and proton versions that I can't even remember them all at this point, but absolutely nothing has worked.

For context, here are the launch options I'm currently trying to use:

VK_LOADER_DEBUG=layer MANGOHUD_CONFIG=fps_limit=170 mangohud ENABLE_LSFG=1 LSFG_MULTIPLIER=4 LSFG_PROCESS=nightreign PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 %command%

Did I mess up the command, or is it just totally borked for FromSoft games right now? Any tips or workarounds would be hugely appreciated!
