It has already received major discounts where I live, I would just need to know how the drivers work under Linux and if there are any custom drivers in the case that the support is pulled, I'm currently on a 1050 so it should be a massive performance jump.

I recently discovered while trying to figure out why I can't game on Linux, that my drivers are probably screwed up.

How do you manage drivers on Linux? The CachyOS gaming wiki page just tells you to download a couple packages.

On windows all I had to do was download the Nvidia app and it would handle all the driver stuff for me. I have no clue how to check and make sure that my old drivers are removed and the new ones are active and that none of the various packages conflict with each other.

How the heck are you guys doing this? There's got to be a way to automate this right?

Anybody tested it on desktop ? on Deck ?
Does it include the toolkit ?

This is so confusing, because I had no problems with my steam controller for years, however I was playing BG3 using steam link on my living room TV, and after connecting back to PC no game seems to recognize my steam controller. It works fine in big picture and in steam overlay but just no input is send to the game themselfs. I tried both dongle and wired, big picture and not, changing different controller layouts, nothing seems to work even in games with native controller support. When launching steam from terminal no output in logs seems to be connected to the problem.

I'm using Debian 14, and if there is any more info I can give I would be more than happy to provide, because I'm really running out of ideas!!!

When I was still using dwm on X11, most of the games just worked out of the box. Now with wayland on gnome, many of them stopped working. I either get black screens or they won't start at all. Even a lot of popular games such as Borderlands 2 or Left 4 Dead 2 come up with "Force to quit" messages once I start them. I just ended up with dual booting into my Windows 11 installation all the time. It sucks, but at least things work out of the box and I don't need to spend my time on finding tweaks.

Hi, I’m using Easy Effects for my microphone processing. I’ve double-checked that it works fine in OBS and Discord, but when I launch Dota 2, the mic doesn’t appear in the list of available input devices.

Has anyone else run into this issue or know how to fix it?

I'm having a strange Steam Client behaviour.

If run Steam Client from desktop launcher file, it seem it's working(showing logging in dialog and usual steam processes observed from ps), but steam client window don't show up.

If run from GNOME Terminal when steam client hasn't been running already, window shows up.

I found out unchecking "Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views" fix the issue and window shows up even from desktop launcher file.

I installed Ubuntu 25.04 to this PC just yesterday. I haven't edited .profile or .bashrc. so I'm puzzling run from GNOME Terminal make any difference.

Hello good people while using r2mod man on silksong I get an error:

Command failed: "Hollow Knight Silksong.exe" --doorstop-enabled true --doorstop-target-assembly "/home/crazy_goofy_ahh/r2modmanFixedDir/HollowKnightSilksong/profiles/Default/BepInEx/core/BepInEx.Preloader.dll" --r2profile "Default" /bin/sh: 1: Hollow Knight Silksong.exe: not found Suggestion Ensure that the game folder has been set correctly in the settings

I havent tried r2modman with other games and I got the .deb version from the latest package in github

Anyways my distro and extra information

Linux mint fully up to date

Rtx 3070

R5 5600

16 gigs of ddr4

Installed SAMP Using a portproton video card Rtx 3060 mobile Before I turned off the FPS limit, the maximum was 52. After turning it off, it became 90. I think this is not a normal FPS for my video card.

Any fixes I am new to linux and im trying out some new things.

Is it safe to run it?

Sometimes, after playing a game for a while and alt-tabbing and coming back to it, or, after playing a game for a while and relaunching it, the game loses almost all of its performance. From what I've seen, the issue is with the GPU, as it appears to have much smaller power draw (according to MangoHud). Worth noting, that such thing happens in all 3D games (War Thunder was just easy to show) and on KDE and Gnome, so it's not game or DE exclusive. The only way to fix the issue is to completely restart the computer.

SYS INFO:
* Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)
* Kernel 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64
* KDE Plasma 6.4.4 on Wayland with VRR enabled
* AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
* AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT
* mesa 25.1.7
* 32 GB RAM
* 2 TB NVME SSD drive

And below, two screenshots, showing the game running normally and abnormally, with the issue present.

game running normally

dramatically low performance and lower power draw

Recently I've had some performance drops on Windows 10. I'm also worried about the lack of support for Windows after October, and my experiences with Windows 11 haven't been the best, so I decided to either migrate to Linux or use a dual boot with windows. One of my friends recommended Pop OS or Nobara. I did my research, but I'm still in doubt between the two and need some help choosing.

I was on Arch for a really long time, but returned to Windows when Oblivion Remastered came out. It was very poorly optimized upon release and my RTX 4080 struggled to maintain a stable 60 FPS outdoors.

I read that driver version 580 was supposed to address this bug. Did it?

Does anyone know good Palworld settings to make the game playable on CachyOS?

I tried many Proton versions and all of them crashed in the menu.

Only with Proton 8 I was able to get into the game, but it was unplayable.

All my other games worked without problems.

Also, the reports on ProtonDB are outdated, and I think since the latest Palworld updates it doesn’t work for most people anymore.

I tried to install cjkfonts using `winetricks cjkfonts` however when I go to `drive_c/windows/Fonts` cjkfonts are not there. Instead they are in `dosdevices/z:/usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto`. This make the game that I want to play cannot access those fonts.

However, when I `wine notepad`, notepad can render chinese characters correctly
