CachyOS is soooooo good with nvidia

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Februar 2026 - 21:00

I just did some tests with cachyos and windows 11 ghost spectre latest edition and OH BOY cachy os is practically same in performance in every game I’ve tested (Helldivers 2, ARC Raiders, SWJ:S, Total War Warhammer 3 (proton). Even with dlss/framegen (latest version override) and raytracin. Cyberpunk 2077 works fine as well (but havent tested it on windows yet). My specs are RTX 5070ti, 9700x, 32 gb cl32/6000MHz, and I am shocked how well things are on Nvidia front. And I have used a RX9070, yeah there are some bugs here and there on Nvidia card, yet I wouldn’t say radeon is better on Linux at this point.

Banshee: Text corruption error

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Februar 2026 - 20:40

Trying to play Banshee, a FNAF fan game, it displays text weirdly. For example in the DOS section characters are offset (image 1), or during a task in the main part of the game the text is rotated making it impossible to read, and all across the game, lines often overlap.

I'm running the game on Lutris with ProtonGE, and my distro is Arch Linux with the CachyOS kernel. my laptop's specs: ThinkPad L14 G2 - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650 - RAM: 8GB DDR4 - Kernel: 6.18.8-3-cachyos - GPU: AMD iGPU

I know the game is based on Clickteam Fusion and that may be the cause of the problems.

To fix this problem I tried switching Proton/Wine versions I used, restarting the system and upgrading packages, but nothing worked.

Does anybody know what I could try to fix it?

Here's a link to the game on Gamejolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/banshee/853429

How well do windows games run with moltenvk on apple m series chips?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Februar 2026 - 19:39

Now that we have the absurd situation that the latest AMD and intel x86-64 APUs got so expensive due to the very complex architecture and other factors, many people consider to buy a Mac Book Air M4 for about only 750$ in comparison.

I want to know how well the Asahi distro runs on Apple m series and also how the experience is with Windows games with moltenvk and other tools. Can Fex or Box64 run on these devices?

What is your experience and do you think Apple missed a big opportunity by sticking to metal instead of supporting Vulkan for better compatibility? Are there any plans from Apple to deliver a better gaming experience? Would it be possible in theory to run Nintendo games on apple devices?

Proton: Low dpi and tiny cursor

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Februar 2026 - 18:16

hello,

i'm into linux gaming quite a while now and almost everything is working great for me. but one thing i just don't get working properly: the dpi of windows windows.
for example wit protproton i open "winecfg" via the gui and there i change the dpi under "graphics". but it does not apply. the next time i open a laucher or some other not-fullscreen window it is really tiny and almost impossible to read. and with that comes that the mouse curser is super tiny aswell.
somebody has a solution for that?

When I try to use a discrete graphics card in ElyPrismLauncher instead of Minecraft, I see this. Using Zink only produces errors. I hear sound, but I can't see Minecraft. I searched the internet for a long time for a solution, but I still haven't found one.

Rome 2 on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Februar 2026 - 15:49

I've heard a long time ago that Rome 2 is notoriously only supported on Windows, but recently as I have converted to Linux and wanted to play it with my friend, I wanted to put this rumour to the test.

And so, my Rome 2 installation cannot run on Linux, I've tried all the proton versions through Steam but to no avail, even in Lutris it crashes on startup. Is this solvable at all or am I just fated to only run it on Windows?
I use Arch btw.

Can't launch Rockstar Launcher/GTA 4 on Lutris with Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Februar 2026 - 15:36

I have installed GTA 4 on Lutris. The game runs fine using Wine as a runner but when I switch the runner to Proton, Rockstar Games Launcher does not start. It just gets stuck on the loading screen which seems like a network issue. I have tried different versions of Proton (including G.E.) but I get the same issue. Can someone guide me on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks.
