Anyone else getting frequent crashes on Path of Exile?
On CachyOS Plasma, also had the same problem on Mint Cinnamon a week ago, running the Steam version. The crashes survived a reinstall and the latest game patch.
I can play fine for a while but at some point it will crash, on Mint it would freeze my computer and had to smother the power button. They happen regardless of what maps I'm running, I can be on the most fps crushing delirium map but then get a crash when crafting on the hideout. I can also play other performance heavy games and be fine.
Plasma runs Wayland, Cinnamon X11. RTX 2060 S, i57400, 16GB, using a secondary SSD where I put all my games.

Arch kernels
Is running Arch with the Cachy kernel + repositories the same as running Cachy os, just less bloated? Does the kernel include optimizations and the scheduler Cachy uses? I l love the performance and snappiness of Cachy but Im interested in going to Arch just for minimalism / less packages i don't need. i familiar already with management ect.

I can confirm the GTX 1050 is working via vkcube, and shows up in vkinfo, when I switch the gpu using system76 power, however it does not work in steam, resulting in the error above. I have not had much luck debugging this issue hoping someone can help here. I am on arch with the both vulkan intel drivers and nvidia drivers from the aur as I am on an older gpu that is not supported by the latest package. I know the 1050M does support vulkan

Mayflash adapters work shockingly easily on Linux.
So I’ve been looking into playing GC and Wii games via Dolphin, unfortunately, playing with a standard controller just doesn’t work given the GC’s awkward (terrible layout) and the Wiimote….
So I’ve got the Mayflash GC adapter working, it was literally a plug and play experience.
With the Wii Sensor Bar, I used Protontricks to install the drivers.
That’s it, it was literally that easy. I’m honestly shocked.
I’ve also managed to the get a DualShock 2 working, and Steam can read it as a PS3 controller.
My god I love Linux (Bazzite) in my case.

Linux Just Quietly Won a Major Battle Against Windows — And Gamers Won't Have to Do a Thing
I'm a bit concerned about AMD GPU drivers and management tools on Linux.
I'm planning to install Bazzite on a new build, but I'm not entirely sure where to get the right drivers or what tools I should be using for management and monitoring.
Dou you have any suggestions?

Does anyone here has experience with joysticks from Winctrl?
Howdy.
I recently got more into space sims/shooter (mostly X4 Foundations and Everspace2) and want now invest into a decent but budget friendly fighter stick. Heard a lot of good things about the URSA MINOR Fighter Joystick but I have no idea if hardware like that flawlessly works under Linux + Proton. Like the title said, has anyone experience with this brand or joysticks in general?

Razer Blackshark V3 Pro Users - Utility on Linux
Hey all! I bought a Razer Blackshark V3 Pro recently, and was super disappointed that there wasn't compatibility with Synapse on Linux... so I built it with Claude to help with packet capture and general daemon/UX. It's been working for me locally, so I wanted to give it to the community in case people also want to use it!
https://github.com/RiskRunner0/blackshark-linux
There's a GUI but also a tray icon that'll connect to a user-space systemd daemon if people are interested.
Features right now include:
- Sidetone: mic monitoring level (0–15)
- EQ presets: all 9 named Synapse presets (Flat, Bass Boost, FPS, etc.)
- ANC: enable/disable and set level (1–4)
- Power savings: auto-off timeout (off, 15, 30, 45, 60 min)
- Battery: percentage and charging status, polled every 5 minutes
- Settings persist: config saved to ~/.config/blackshark/config.toml, restored on reconnect
- System tray: battery %, quick toggles, EQ/sidetone submenus, daemon controls
- GUI: full settings panel with live updates
- CLI: scriptable control and JSON status output
I'm working on game/chat audio slider, but pipewire was giving me some trouble so I thought I'd hold off on it (but there's an experimental toggle if you're interested in trying).
Would love feedback/bug reports if people want. I've also thought about expanding this concept to other headsets, but since I have a Blackshark V3 Pro, wanted to start there.

Auto hdr (cm_auto_hdr) in Hyprland doesn't always work. I built a tool to keep HDR on for the life of a game called Hypr-sticky-hdr
When using cm_auto_hdr =1 or 2, I ran into issues, including long delays when alt+tabbing as they leave HDR and games that won't recover HDR after coming back into focus (i.e., Helldivers 2)
I built this small tool that uses Hyprland events to turn on HDR automatically by watching for common vars like PROTON_ENABLE_HDR on the process, and automatically toggles HDR off when you close the game.
It's fresh, so feedback and contributions are welcome.

I'm trying to run the original Slender Man game through Lutris and not having any luck.
When I try to run the game "Slender: The Eight Pages" with proton it doesn't work, and when I try to run it with Wine I just get a black screen with the game audio. Every guide I find is from 14 years ago using outdated and obsolete software that doesn't work anymore.

Lenovo legion support
hello there. will be buying a Lenovo legion 5i laptop
this will be my first gaming laptop and honestly I was pretty fascinated by those pre installed apps for tweaking EVERYTHING. Like the quiet, balanced and performance mode, the rgb configs and fan curves in lenovo vantage/space.
from what I could find online, there is the LenovoLegionLinux (LLL) tool which aims to be that gui in Linux. Would someone be able to comment on if it is reliable and maybe tell me about its quirks of any?
I will be running cachyos i3wm which is x11 based
thank you in advance!

Limo mod manager confusion
I'm trying to follow the tutorial but it's not clear. Like how do I know which deployer to use? How do I know if I have to set it up differently for a game? If there's an easier to use alternative I'm open to that too.

Faugus launcher not running games
I’m new to all this stuff I normally just use the console but I got a Lenovo Legion and I got Faugus launcher to run games on desktop mode. And it was working for a while but then it completely stopped. When I try to run my exe files it says "Steam Runtime is up to date” before just closing. I tried using Flatseal to give it permissions but nothing is working. I’m taking any suggestions thank you.
