Been playing on windows and for some reasons I keep getting blue screen out of nowhere, Tried googling the error and they suggest I should reinstall windows. But I have cachyos as my dual boot, I wanted help in how I can continue my progress in linux, I'm seriously new and idk how to make it run on linux, one idea I could think of is maybe trying to run it through steam -> add non steam game, then from there I could maybe run the game via proton? Haven't tried it yet.

Ubuntu 26.04. Fractional scaling set to 150%. VAAPI hardware acceleration fully configured.

When playing 4K videos, mpv logs report frequent frame drops. Interestingly, playback looks smooth — no visible stutter, tearing, or audio/video desync.

I suspect this isn’t widely reported because most people don’t run mpv from the terminal or check the logs.

I tested several 4K videos across different codecs, and AV1 was by far the worst.

Here’s the command I found to work best among the configurations I tried:

mpv --no-config --vo=gpu --hwdec=vaapi

For comparison, on X11 (Xubuntu 24.04 and 26.04), playback is smooth with no frame drops at all. HiDPI was calibrated to 144 DPI under X11/XFCE for equivalent 150% scaling.

i just installed morimens on arch through steam. did it on an HDD. and now im getting these weird thingies. any idea?

Hi, I know how much Windows has become hated and linux is a good alternative now unless you want to play specific games. But my question now is at least for nVidia GPU user. After using CachyOS mainly gaming and doing some programming is that switch worth it? Despite all the bloat in Windows yet games perform better? I love Linux and enjoy the terminal also helping others and love how people make guides to solve even the smallest problem but after all having dual boot and a bit lesser gaming performance is worth it?

Guys I migrated from Windows to Linux a few months back and realised that Copliot key is useless here so i built a small tool that turns the key into a launcher. Now when i press it, it opens a menu(using rofi) where i can open apps or run commands directly.

Its pretty simple but actually very useful in daily tasks. You can also customise it according to you by adding more options doent matter if you wanna open app , run a command , open a website. All these can be done with one click.

I modded Skyrim with mo2 from nak and used bethini to mod the ini file. The mods are working but all it did was make the ui more smooth. The performance in game is still the same abt 16 to 17 fps but with way lower cpu usage? Previously it was at all time high 98 99 and now it's at 23 or 30. What do i do is it even worth trying now?

i3 1215u

8gb ram

Intel uhd

Cachyos

In 20.04 I had the same problem but I solved it easily by installing the kisak ppa and then it worked like a charm. I tried doing the same here but it didn't work. I also tried installing wine and deleting compatdata but it still isn't working.

EDIT: set global lighting to low and turn off sub surface scattering stabilize but not eliminate the problem

My game has been glitching texture in and out no matter how low I set the settings to

System information:

OS: Fedora 43

Nvidia-driver: 580.142

GPU: RTX 4060 Laptop

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 8945H

RAM: 32GB

Game version: latest on steam(? idk what version but i bought the game)

Other information: I have played the demo fine, and it is far than the bare minimum to play it, this setting is far less than the one when i play the demo (me when i lie)

Only this game have this particular problem, RE9 and other RE engine game work fine.

Proton version currently is Proton Experimental

No I don't want to dual boot or install windows back *yet*, fedora has been fitting my need more than windows

Glitch is described in the attached video as my english is poor and cannot communicate the bug clearly.

See link for context.

I've had a lot of fun on this project and have added some much needed features. I've added some more presets, proper error handling, made it remember your settings, and made the overall code less shit. I felt as though it was high enough quality to slap on the AUR so I learned how to make a PKGBUILD and put it on there. There is now finally a working clone of Kovaak's Sensitivity Matcher that works on both X11 and Wayland in case there was any except me who needed one. I've never done anything like this before so any tips/suggestions are appreciated.

In multiple games I get the same weird red glow in certain scenes, so far in stellar blade, lords of the fallen, below is from wuchang, all UE5. This is on a 4090 and I thought it could be related to the anisotropic filtering bug but that is for 50 series only and on older drivers, so I'm not sure if its the same thing.

This is on Proton 10.0 on cachyOS. Hope someone has an idea on a fix

Hi, ive had this issue for a long time and i had been able to fix it just sometimes for some games, for example for GTA San Andreas, the issue went away when Wine 11 released, and i was actually just looking mainly for a fix for it playing audio only on the left side, which it also fixed.

But this other issue happens on other more modern games too, for example Burnout Paradise Remastered, although it seems to happen only sometimes, which is making me more confused. It doesnt matter if i launch the affected games from Steam, Lutris or Heroic launcher, and it can fix itself depending on what version of wine/proton i use, but sometimes even when it seemed like it fixed itself with, say Proton 9, or GE-Proton10, it can come back literally the next time i launch the game (With the exact same proton version and other settings, having changed absolutely nothing from one launch to the other)

The issue is just literally a brain and ear killing sound, sometimes it doesnt matter if i set my volume to 10%, its just so loud that i have to either mute my pc, or if i missed the key i have set for that, i have to take my earphones out and even then i still hear it loudly, it is extremely loud, its no joke.

As i said ive had this issue for a long time now and never found a way to make it fully go away. I even remember it happening on my older laptop i used before even having a desktop pc thats able to run games on Linux.

EVEN THO I RECORDED IT LOWERING THE VOLUME FROM OBS, PLEASE PLAY THE VIDEO WITH LOW VOLUME JUST IN CASE, the audio really is ultra loud for me. If you think the audio is not that loud, try setting your pc's volume to 100%, the video's to 100% and then imagine it being 10x more loud.

Just today i have tried to see if changing the audio driver from Lutris fixed it, but as you can see in the video, not only does it not, but depending on which driver i choose the sound is both louder and more annoying (and brain killing as i call it). This is the case for PulseAudio, as u can hear in the video.

Has someone else had this same issue? And have you found a way to make it fully go away on any game? Thanks.

Forgot to add my relevant system information:

Distro: Linux Mint 22.3 / 6.17.0-20-generic (x86_64)

Audio server: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.0.5)

Im running Resident evil requiem with proton experimental, tried using vsync and freesync but I still get tearing effects.
I tried to record a video but on the recording the tearing doesn't show up.
Tried with protonGE also but still get the same tear effect.

Game is at 120fps

It's the only game where I get this.

Any ideas?

What in the world is the default button for the xbox button? I was playing a game and the only way out of the menu was to press the circle with three horizontal lines, or the "hamburger" in it. But, I couldn't find any button that was recognized as that. When I look at the Steam input settings, the official mappings don't have that button listed at all.

Is there any kind of software like Piper that I can use to manage this?

Hey so recently I upgraded to mesa 26 and Gunfire Reborn started crashing with: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout in the kernel logs.

This fixes it in steam - go into launch options and paste: RADV_DEBUG=novrsflatshading %command%
