So, This is odd and I'm wanting to know if it's just me.

But while steam is updating there is no UI to say this, it just does it's thing in the background and then pops up like the Spanish inquisition when it's done.

Running Fedora 43 with KDE.

Can someone tell me whyin CP2077, textures are in such a low resolution?
I have set all graphics settings to maximum.
Im running CachyOS with an RTX 3080.
Im launching the game through steam with these launch commands:
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 %command% --intro-skip --launcher-skip --skipStartScreen

It mentions being a supported model in the built in kernal. But it's not picking it up. I installed by the AUR and it's a X box steering wheel but works on PC otherwise. I am using the zen kernal if that affects anything.

Hi, I'm in the middle of making the switch to Linux from Win11! In the process I thought I'd test MHWilds on Linux (running Kubuntu 25.10). I have been noticing a peculiar graphical artefact that I haven't seen many people specifically report on. First screenshot running on Win11 (looking fine), second screenshot running on Kubuntu where bodies of water or oil look unshaded. No launch options I've tried have fixed it so far, so its kindof got me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?

Running on Nvidia driver 580.95.05
Launch options:/WineDetectionEnabled:False ; PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 gamemoderun %command%

It's a puzzle game that's about an hour long but I think it has a really nice and unique story. Thanks for everyone who's interested! :)

I've recently installed ArchLinux on my system and when I play Rocket League in fullscreen, the resolution cannot go higher than 1920x1080p in the dropdown (although my monitor) is 2560x1440p. If I select borderless, then I can choose 2560x1440p, however I would like to not have to do that considering it adds input lag.

I use Sway and I made sure that my monitor's resolution is 2560x1440p in the config file.

Here's my specs if it helps :

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
64GB DDR5 ram
Radeon 7900XTX

Is the EK PS5 watercooling kit compatible with the AMD BC250?

I used to use apps like Bigscreen VR to see my desktop and position windows and such in virtual space when I ran Windows and a HTC Vive Pro VR headset. Does such an app exist for Linux?

My hunch is no due to the nightmare of competing DEs and window managers and things but I would love to be proved wrong

I have a 5070 Ti and 9800X3D and use CachyOS. As of today can I comfortably run Monster Hunter Wilds or are the issues still there?

Any recommendations in the $80-$130 range?Looking for a new gaming headset, mostly for use in FPS multiplayer games and Discord. Looking at SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3XW but tough to find any info on Linux compatibility, or is that even an issues with headsets?

I would like to turn a SFF PC I have to a “steam machine” and I am trying to decide what version of Linux to put on it. I have zero experience with Linux so would like something easy to setup and use. The PC is a HP Engage Flex Pro, i7-8700, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3050 with a 4TB NVMe and 1TB HDD. It currently has Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC but from what I have been hearing online, Linux should give me slightly better performance with a more seamless gaming experience when coupled with SteamOS. I also have a Steam Deck that I use docked, so I would love to mimic the Steam Deck experience as much as possible.

Video and VR work fine, but there's no sound. The PC is basically a headless Sunshine host and when I enter a moonlight session I can hear the audio. What can I do?

When I'm launching witcher 3, after loading into the game, every time, exactly after around 20-22 seconds, the frametime goes crazy and it starts stuttering really bad (look at the frametime graph, but in the end you can see to the naked eye this massive stuttering when I move the camera).

When I launch it with gamescope, it doesn't do that stutter.

Why is it happening?

GPU: RX9060XT 16GB

Hi there,

Title, I am fortunate to have a 5090. The thing is that it has a particular affinity with setting itself on fire.
So I wanted to undervolt it at 860mV for W reduction following those results https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1isi8ir/rtx_5090_fe_undervolt_results/

Do you have any advice ?
Thanks for the answers

so as in title for some reason i don't have gun sounds the rest is there i even copied the game folder and tried running it on my shitty windows laptop and it worked i have no idea what causes it also in other CODs there is no such issue it is just in BO1 can someone help?

I'm kinda looking to primarily use EndeavourOS or CachyOS, but haven't installed it yet cuz no idea which is better for my RTX 4050. But there's one thing that's bothering my mind. I often extract assets from UE games for wiki stuff, but apparently FModel is Windows only. I can dual boot but getting it run on Linux is more convenient (just in case if I want to fully move from Windows later). Does anyone use FModel here? I wonder if it works with Proton, considering it's not a game.

Been playing TOW2 on 9800X3D/5090/ArchLinux, and it's been rock solid... except that you need ray tracing enabled, otherwise the game just hangs. Kind of annoying because ray tracing tanks performance...

Has anyone figured out a way to play it without having ray tracing enabled? Or atleast have an explanation to why it's needed? I haven't encountered this issue in any other game.
