ACER XV240Y on Linux
Hi!
I'm having an issue with my new Acer XV240Y monitor. I was running Garuda Linux without any problems on a Janus monitor i had, but since I switched to the new monitor, everything feels slow—not just games, but the entire desktop experience..
My setup: MSI Cyborg 15 A12V, Intel Core i7, and RTX 4060 GPU. Does this have something to do with Nvidia drivers ? Any solutions? Thanks!

Trying to get more consistent FPS (Ryzen 2600X + GTX 1650)
So we’re just a tech support sub pretty much now right?
After this post removal https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/s/bqWXpMKWSK (one of the biggest launches this year) and the mod comment about it not being “native”, this sub is just now 99% tech support then? With the occasional news about Mesa and Proton directly.
Respectfully mods, this is stupid. Are we really going back to the line of Proton isn’t Linux gaming now? That’ll really help Linux gaming adoption…

Ajuda :(
Cyberpunk2077 uses wrong Keyboard layout
Distro and DE: CachyOS with KDE Plasma 6.5.5.
Launcher: HGL (Heroic Games Launcher) GOG Version.
Keyboard Wooting 60HE+ with ISO DE german layout.
So the issue is that the game somehow still assumes that I have a US/English layout where especially main keys like "y" and "z" are swapped on the ISO german layout compared to the US layout, hence why the german is also known as "qwertz" layout I believe.
What's weird: On the desktop my layout is beeing utilized correctly as the ISO DE german keyboard layout, even if I do not have a specific keyboard language set up in the keyboard settings section.
I've force the game's localization to be also "german" in HGL by setting up the prefered game language to "de". Also furthermore I've tried via Winetricks to force the german keyboard layout through the registryeditor under following path: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> keyboard layout and the file with it's name as simply "1" to put in the value for the german keyboard layout which is: "00000407".
And now I've exhausted all possible solution for this issue. I am really do not know any further what should I do, because just rebinding both keys isn't a ideal way or solution to me, I really want to get this fixed but I really do not how.
I hope someone might help me, thanks in advance guys :)

Can't get FSR4 working on OW, anyone else with this problem?
So in the new update supposedly they added FSR4 support, but I can't get it to appear in the menu with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 in Steam, already tried deleting the prefix and creating it again.
With any other game, the Proton env var works just fine to get FSR4 so it shouldn't be a Proton/Mesa version problem, but here's the info: I tested it with Proton Experimental, Proton-GE 10.24 and 10.30; using Mesa 25.3.5 and Linux 6.18.9
Edit: And I set the game to use DirectX 12 (Beta)

Apparently The Evil Within wasnt installed on my Drive but still starts?
So kinda a Weird Bug/Error which im unsure if its due to Lutris being Lutris but before i make a Report over at Github i thought itd just ask over here :D
Basically ive connected my GOG Account with Lutris, Installed TEW to my SSD and then boom Game gives me an Error when trying to boot XD
Weirdly enough it starts automatically in Full Screen just out of nowhere and after that Error appears :P
So yea is anything just wrong with my Lutris Flatpak or my Game Installs? >.>
Attached my Log here incase it is helpful somehow >.>
I cant really believe that its due to it not detecting Discord but you can never be sure sadly XD

Linux distro
Hi I am currently trying out different Distros to use for my Laptop for gaming and I don't know which to pick. I tried Ubuntu but there was a problem with the terminal so today I tried installing CachyOS but a blackscreen appeared after I installed it and I can't seem to fix it so now I wanna try an other 'gaming' Distro to use. I already have Fedora in mind but a few people said it's not that good and Arch is better but I think Arch is hard to Install so Arch isn't an option.

New Proton Experimental update adds controller support to more launchers on Linux / SteamOS
I need help getting God of War Ragnarok running on Linux!
I am using Pop_OS 22.04, with an RTX 3070, a Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB of RAM.
I have just purchased GoW Ragnarok and I am trying to get it running. I am surprised to see this game is listed as Gold on ProtonDB, because it will not run AT ALL.
The best results I have managed to obtain have been achieved by enabling Proton Experimental and setting SteamDeck=1 %command%. In that case, the game is stuck on "running" status, with no game window appearing. Anything else (for example Proton 10.04) will result in an error window appearing, usually both or just one of these two.
I am starting to lose my mind... Can anyone help? Has anyone gotten this running?

switching from windows to linux?
Hey together, i want to switch from windows to linux and think to use CachyOS (i mainly game with the pc).
But i have some negatives i want to clearify bevor switching, maybe you could help me.
its mostly about games performance, general performance, compatibility of the programms i use beside gaming and malware security.
to my setup i have a amd cpu and gpu and plan to use cachyOS, if there is no better recommandation.
can you guys tell me somethings about general performance?
for gaming performance, i often hear that amd gpus are better and have more performane on linux right?
also, how is the performance if you need to use something like Proton, lutris or wine? Do i need it?
for compatibility i researched that most my applications will work, but i got one important app that has no official linux app. i researched that winboat can make apps compatibil with linux, has anyone any experience with things like this?
and for security, i know there is less malware for linux but are there intigreated AVs? else i would need to research what to use.
thanks in advance
