manually set fan speed on asus laptop?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 10:36

i have tried using rog-control-center to change the fan curves, but it doesnt seem to work properly - i set it to reach 100% speed at 80 degrees, hit 80 degrees but the fan doesnt seem to do much (yes i have ticked enable and clicked apply)

is there any way to bypass the curves and just set it to 100% when i am playing games that use a lot of cpu

Xenia + RPCS3 don't launch with Bazzite gaming mode with Emudeck/ES-DE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 09:49

Hello,

I have a mini pc with bazzite and Emudeck. Everything works very good. I am very happy about that but only xenia and rpcs3 don't work... I tried a lot of things but didn't find a solution...

Xenia and rpcs3 work if a launch them manually in pc mode. I can play games ect. But when I want launch games through gaming mode + ES-DE :

Xbox360 : "did you installed xenia ?" es-de notification

Ps3 : nothing happens

Is there any solution to solve this ? Thank you

5090 on Nouveau

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. April 2026 - 09:23

Curious to know if the 5090 is so overkill that even on nouveau drivers it still beats AMD’s latest and greatest GPU.

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.
