New to Linux. Need Help
I'm currently on W10 (Pro, 22H2)
Specs Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (31.6 GB usable) Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (8 GB) 2) Intel(R) UHD Graphics 750 (128 MB) Storage: 477 GB SSD BC711 NVMe SK hynix 512GB 2) 932 GB SSD Samsung SSD 870 QVO 1TB . . I've been wanting to switch to Linux (or Steam OS) for a while now. The two I'm debating on are Catchy and Bazzite.
Also, anyone know if there's stable Linux support for a 3050? I'm running a Dell Optiplex so a 3050 (or two-fan type equivalent) is the only GPU that will fit...
And last question: Can someone explain the difference between the Catchy OS Desktop versions on their site? I'm completely lost on which one to check out first or just bite the bullet on Bazzite.

Another cs2 Linux VS Windows
I switched to Linux about a month ago, started with Fedora Workstation and eventually settled on CachyOS. I mainly play Rocket League and CS2, and in a quick test, I actually got better FPS on Linux. For context, Windows 11 is installed on an M.2 drive, while Linux is running on a regular SSD. Same workshop bench map

Still slow texture streaming in Hunt: Showdown - any tips to improve further? [CachyOs]
Hey everyone,
I’ve been troubleshooting slow texture loading in Hunt: Showdown on Linux, and while I’ve made some solid progress, I’m still running into noticeable stutters and delays, especially when first loading into matches or moving quickly through new areas…
——————
My system:
CPU: Intel i5 13600KF
GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT 12GB
Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z690-P D4
Distro: CachyOS (on NVMe)
Steam (Native) + game files: on separate SATA SSD
DE: KDE Plasma
——————
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
• Switched from Wayland to X11 - big improvement, since Hunt relies heavily on Microsoft protocols.
• Using Proton GE 10-10 (feels best so far) with this launch command: DXVK_ASYNC=1 RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command%
• Disabled shader pre-caching in Steam.
• In-game graphics settings don’t seem to have any effect on the texture streaming speed.
——————
Right now, the game is quite playable and way better than before, but texture streaming still isn’t as smooth as I’d like. It feels like the GPU is waiting on data… like the assets just aren’t being loaded quickly enough.
Has anyone else faced this and found a way to improve it even further? Any tricks with file system configs, Vulkan tweaks, or driver settings I might’ve missed?

Guys Its OK to DualBoot
its always a constant in this sub and many others that we need to stick it to the big tech companies, they are evil. "i refuse to boot windows no matter how much of an inconvenience it is." So many of these people are just incoherent and just scream 'use linux' regardless of anyones scenario. you need adobe? 'youre an idiot use something else open source, who cares if its good or fits your needs'. I really want to play Fortnite or BF6. 'you are so dumb for playing a game thats not supported on linux.' you know what? its OK to use Windows. life is too short and putting up some sort of wild stance about an operating system is so insanely stupid. and everyone who tries to force someone one way or another for an operating system? needs to re-evaluate their life choices.
Use whatever operating system youd like to play the games you want to play.
99% of everyone crying about microsoft and their privacy are using gmail, google search, reddit, X. ALL of these are just as intrusive or more to your privacy.
oh you dont like microsoft controlling your patching and reboots? all you CachyOs or any Arch people need to patch and reboot way more often than windows makes you reboot or your system will break.
look. im a more often than not a linux user/gamer but its OK to use windows. i use it for VR cause its just better all around 100%. if i feel the need to play BR6, ill just boot Windows if i feel like it. it doesnt need to be this boycott cause in the end, its only harming you. this will not change the narrative

Not a big deal, but I wonder why this happens with Steam
Like a said this is not a big deal but I wonder if there's a way to stop it. Basically when I open the Steam Client (the native version), after a couple minutes it just closes and immediately opens again, it only happens the first time I open the client, and I can just minimize the window or just close it, but sometimes I start playing and the Steam Client pops up on top of my game and I need to take it away, which isn't that bad but it becomes a little annoying lol.
I just wonder if this happen to anyone else and if there's a way to make it stop, if there's not, that's ok I guess, I can live with it.

Steam Games immediately crashes
I have tried to run three different games with those being civilisation 6 which crashed immediately kerbal space program which showed a black screen for some time and then crashed the only game I could launch successfully was hearts of iron 4. All of the above games I mentioned have native linux support. Weirdly when I set the compatibility to proton on kerbal space program It did launch but crashed just before reaching the main menu
I have checked and have already installed amdgpu drivers.
I’m thinking maybe I have to install other gpu drivers and not use those install by the os or there maybe something else that’s making it crashe Hardware:HUAWEI D15 Laptop CPU RYZEN 5500u I’m using integrated graphics Radeon vega 7 8gb ram Linux Distribution : Fedora 42
Update managed to launch kerbal space program through proton it’s working perfectly now
But I think the native version would run better if I could launch it

SDL error despite having SDL downloaded??
I'm trying to get Brogue to run on my system, but anytime I try to run it, I get the error:
"./brogue: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
However I believe I already have SDL2 downloaded onto my system, so what gives?
Also, idk if this is useful, but the README that comes with the game says it needs `libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0`, which is different than the error message, but either way I downloaded both this and what the error message asked for and it downloaded fine.
My specifics are Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Theory: Steam hardware survey numbers have a bigger impact on anti-cheat support than we might think.
Let's say that the average Linux gamer plays multiplayer in a group size of 2.5
For games that bar Linux through anti-cheat, they are not simply losing your business, they are losing that of your friends too, as who wants to play games without their buddy?
Lets take that average of 2.5 down to 2 to account for friends that will still play when you aren't available - if we represent 3% of the steam user base, that's 6% of the steam user base that wont be playing an anti-cheat disabled game.
Of course the most important thing to consider is that money is more important than anything else to these devs. There will be a break point where the percentage of revenue lost from you and your friends not playing, is greater than the cost of either; developing a userspace anti-cheat that "works", or the reputational "cost" of just hitting the "sod it" button and permitting linux via EAC/whatever.
If we hit 5%, and the opportunity cost is now 10% playerbase to the devs, I'd imagine the justification for keeping us blocked to the shareholders starts to look pretty weak in the face of 10% more money every year.

Steam won't play recordings (but embedded videos are fine)
Recordings will just appear as black rectangles. Can't play them, but hovering over the progress bar will show key frames. And exporting works fine.
I found a thread on Steam forums from 2024: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/5/4416424597681281587/
But there is no answer there. It feels like I may be missing some package/dependency. Any ideas?
- Kubuntu 25.04, KDE, Wayland
- nvidia-driver-575-open 575.64.03-0ubuntu0.25.04.1 (from multiverse)
- steam-launcher 1.0.0.83 (from https://repo.steampowered.com/steam)

Monster hunter rise locked at 60fps despite unlocking in-game
Hello hello, i'm relatively new to linux only having used Nobara for about 2 months. Unfortunately, the game seems to be locked to 60fps despite the lock being set at 120/360 in game and tinkering any more with the settings does nothing, same with different proton versions. Appreciate it, thanks!

Cs2 freezes T side
Since the animgraph update CS2 keeps freezing making it completely unplayable, but only when playing T side. Freezes last around 10 seconds, FPS drop to 0 and PC is unresponsive.
It often leads to the game and xdg portal crashing.
It's the only game giving me this issue.
At first I suspected the switch to Wayland but since they switched back I don't think it's the culprit.
Tried verifying game files but nothing changed.
PC specs are Ryzen 9600x, RX 7800 XT, 32gb ram. Arch Linux, drivers updated to the latest version, KDE plasma with Kwin.
Anyone experiencing the same? Can't be the only one, but I didn't find similar problems online.

The Witcher enhanced edition freezes after about a minute
I've played the game for about 12 hours on a windows PC during the past week because I didn't have access to my laptop that runs mainly ZorinOS.
Now I'm back to Linux and wanted to try the game for the first time there and it doesn't want to work, for about a minute, everything is perfect, then if I click options, it just completely freezes until I force quit it.
I tried Proton GE 10-10 I believe was the version not 100% sure about the exact numbers tho but it should be the latest version or at most a couple weeks old.
Also tried proton experimental and hotfix. Copied some launch options from ProtonDB and tried GE and experimental again with the exact same result.
The unfortunate reality is that my laptop's GPU is Nvidia and I had to struggle to get the proper driver working last week so that might have something to do with the freezing, but I've been playing Minecraft for many hours with many mods and it's working just fine.
Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix this or at least what to try next. I really don't want to have to go back to windows just to play that game when everything else I do is on Linux.

FNV mod help, anyone there?
Losing my mind Steam Deck [FNV]
Background info: Im using Vortex on a Steam Deck with Pikdum's Post Deploy. I followed Viva New Vegas, and everything worked perfectly, except for archive invalidation, I spent a whole ass day troubleshooting and finally manually generated the archive invalidation.txt, now my textures work, howver none of my other mods, like MCM, JAM, Western Skies are working. I did a fresh new install, following viva again, and making my ai.txt manually, same issue.
Which brings us to now, I am fucking losing my mind. UIO doesn't seem to be working, and neither does anything else besides textures. I can replace the main menu, and other shit like that, but no ui changes, I also can't add MCM, for some reason, I've done it through vortex, and manually, and it WILL NOT show up NO MATTER WHAT. Same with JAM, even without MCM, nothing shows up like dynamic crosshair, sprinting.
Ive tried fucking everything, this is my third clean install, Im using Proton GE 27, ive tried manually installing mods, ive tried following viva new vegas again, ive reinstalled uio, ive installed it manually.
This is the most fucking frustrating experience of my entire life and all I want in this world is for my stupid fucking mods to work. Please help.
And dont tell me to switch to MO2 unless that really is the solution. Im too far deep in the vortex.
