Other News about gaming on Linux
Need suggestion for CPU cooler for new build. Any other advice is appreciated ☺️
I'm in the process of upgrading my gaming PC. In the process I'm taking all of the old components and building a gaming PC for my girlfriend's son.
Everything will now be Linux (CachyOS for gaming PC's). I've tested the 9070xt on my current build and I love it!
I'm planning switching my CPU to a ryzen 9800x3d with a b850 aorus elite Mobo. This will all be in this chassis: Fractal Design Torrent Black E-ATX Tempered Glass Window High-Airflow Mid Tower Computer Case
Does anyone have any recommendations on cooling for it? Liquid cooling preferred if that's optimal.
I also wouldn't mind any other tweaks or options that are niche that could be recommended. (Replacement fans, etc.) I also haven't purchased RAM yet. But I don't think this will be a big deal.

CS2 doesn't running on KDE Plasma
Hello, everyone. I need some help. I installed KDE Plasma on Fedora 42 (GNOME 48 was originally installed and worked for a long time, but then it was removed) and decided to play CS2, but the game won't start. It displays the message:
"Failed to initialize Vulkan.
Make sure your driver and graphics processor support Vulkan 1.2+."
However, CS2 ran without any problems on GNOME 48 on the SAME system. The drivers have been installed for a long time.
Btw here is the system information:
OS › Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
KER › Linux 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64
DE › KDE Plasma 6.5.1
CPU › Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H (12) @ 5.00 GHz
GPU › NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q [Discrete]
GPU › Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.15 GHz [Integrated]
btw sorry for my english XD

Stability of AMD Graphics Solutions in Late 2025
Hi Redditors, Linuxers & Gamers,
a rough scan of this subreddit brings to light: Most Users would suggest to use AMD graphics cards with Linux.
My question is: What is the current state in terms of the stability? Are there still a cases of frequent crashes (not only when gaming), where no root cause can be found?
The reason I'm asking: I'm not up-to-date anymore, but I've had a huge headache years before, which is why my system is working on very low budget gfx solutions since (currently an NVIDIA GeForce GT 730). The related bugs still can be found at gitlab (e.g. AMD's 892 and 914).
A quick recap: Not every user was affected, silicon lottery played its part, the crashes happened very erratically & the root causes seemed to be a mystery. Also the AMD devs involved couldn't find a definite solution for a long time (if ever). According to them it was also a complex of different problems.
For me it was a 5500 XT. After a lot of exchange and tinkering I've switched to a new 5600 XT (iirc) and it was stable - for a month, then the card suddenly died. I gave up and lowered my expectations. The temporary low-end solution became permanent.
But now that the GT 730 is unsupported by nVidia I'd like to give it a try with a current AMD card again. Also I'd like to play a few games from time to time with a decent frame rate. Not to say: Connecting more than one monitor.
This is not solely related to gaming but rather a general issue. But you guys are relying on stable hardware and surely have a good knowledge about the graphics card status-quo. So what do you say - should I give it a try?
Thanks!

arc raiders keeps crashing
hi guys,
i am running arc raiders on ubuntu 24.04 with 128gb of ram, 2tb of storage and a 4090, but the game can crash if: - open a picture in the chat of a discord. - refresh a browser screen.
there is no consistency on what actions in the apps can cause the crash but i can refresh something like amazon.com and the game can crash. or i can switch my status on discord and the game can crash.
i installed brave and discord using snap fwiw and i tried setting up gamemode but no dice. i also have nvidia driver 580
i also have steam set to use proton experimental.
do you guys have any tips? i am thinking of switching to bazzite but i am trying to avoid any forks of the base distros if possible.
thanks guys!

Favorite distro? and why do people not like Wayland?
I recently migrated over from Windows 11 to Linux Mint than tried a few distros. Mint is amazing outside of the fact that it doesn't work well with Wayland. This becomes an issue if you use high-resolution monitors like 4k where you need DPI scaling or the fonts are to small.
I tried the experimental version with fractional DPI enabled and games would refuse to launch on Steam.
Next tried Garuda, wonky user-interface full of blinding colors, next.
Manjaro, it hard locked the GUI when I tried to change the desktop theme. Next.
Finally landed on Endeavor OS. Very stable, no forced wonky themes and interface scaling works perfect. Comes with wayland out of the box. Zero issues so far. My only complaint is no built in GUI interface for installing apps. Terminal is scary.

Easy Anti Cheat error on cachyOS (dualboot)
HI, I recently started dual booting windows 11 and cachyOS.
I've been trying to use my preexisting files for steam and epic games through wine and I managed to get it to work perfectly (except for some minor issues), but on both of them I get error 1 when trying to launch games that use EAC.
Is there any solution or do I have no other option but to make new installations for linux?

Keyboard software for HE boards?
Hi peoples, i was wondering if any of you have been able to find a software that can customize keyboards with Hall Effect sensors. Since the keyboard i use, a Womier TMR SK75, doesn't have a linux version of the software and i have no idea how i would get the software running on my install. I have heard that you can use a udev rule to use wine and get around that way but i wouldn't know how to do all of that lol.

Weird ghost window when running games on Proton 10
As of recent Proton 10 versions (Steam built-in, GE and CachyOS) I've started seeing a weird "ghost" copy window on my left monitor. The content is not interactable, but whatever this window covers is no longer clickable either. I cannot move it by any means, even by holding Super and dragging, which does work for other windows.
What is this? It only seems to happen when running the game in XWayland, but I can't use native Wayland due to the launcher breaking completely.
Screenshot provided is for AC Content Manager, but this issue is present on other games as well, often Unity-based. Currently running Proton-CachyOS 10.0-20251023

What proton version should I use to play Ultrakill on Linux?
I just switched from Windows 11 to Ubuntu on my home PC, and wanted to try to play Ultrakill, which if you know, is Windows exclusive. So I did research and found out I needed to enable Steam Proton, but I don't know which one I should use since I have little to no experience using this stuff.

Wow, Battle.net update requesting admin rights
Hey everyone,
