Bring League of Legends Back to Linux – Sign the Petition
For years, League of Legends was perfectly playable on Linux through compatibility layers. That changed with the introduction of Vanguard, which effectively locked Linux users out of the game.
We’ve started a petition asking Riot Games to reconsider their stance and bring League of Legends back to Linux. This isn’t about bypassing anti-cheat it’s about inclusivity, fair access, and acknowledging a rapidly growing player base.

I switched to mint recently but I have a small issue
All games run fine on my gaming laptop except for overwatch 2 for some reason , I installed all necessary shaders, used proton-GE etc... it used to run well on windows but on linux the fps drops until the display freezes after 5 mins of gameplay , When I checked the temps the CPU was at 90c, which is likely to be the root cause, any fix? laptop: hp omen 15 2020 gpu: rtx 2060 cpu: i7 9750h ram:16 gb DE:cinnamon

No audio in CounterStrike
I've only been using Linux for four months and I'm generally not very knowledgeable about PCs. My first distro was Ubuntu, and then I switched to Linux Mint. Until a month ago, I could play CS without any problems, but then the sound started cutting out after the first few rounds. My headset is the output device, so that should be fine. I've also tried using the two PulseWire commands in the launcher, but that didn't help either. I would be very grateful for any suggestions :)

PSA: Do not for ANY reason use NTFS under Linux!
People do not seem to get that the NTFS file system is closed source and the ntfs linux driver is reverse engineered.
You want to mount it for a moment and copy some files? fine
But dont use it to hold your games or for prolonged file usage it WILL lead to file corruption at some point.
Also lastly and most importantly you are wasting the limited time of people that want to help you resolve your problems for free because they will try to provide tech support to for an hour only to find out you are not following the most basic rule.
Please don't use NTFS drives under linux.

Linux vs. Windows for Streamers – How I Got OBS Working Perfectly Again
How valid is SteamOS right now for pure a pure gaming machine?
So I see a lot of discussions how great it is on a steam deck and how a SteamDeck can replace your desktop computer in certain situations, but how good is SteamOS on a regular machine using the desktop mode (not the Steam Big Picture Mode)? Im really curious about this and hope this great community can help me to understand it even more beyond the videos I already saw.
I use my computer (Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD 6900XT) only for gaming, mainly on Steam, BattleNet (for WoW), sometimes GoG for older games, Discord as a communication tool and Firefox for browsing. Thats it. No office, no editing, no capturing, just single- and multiplayer gaming. I also know how to use the command line and have some expierence with computers, so I'm not going in as a total noob (but still a noob though) :)
A couple of questions would be:
- How easy do I update my graphic drivers and is there a view where I can review the current drivers, see new ones... etc? Right now I'm using Adrenaline for that.
- How do I add and install on different drives. Currently my Setup has four drives (one smaller one for the OS, one fast NVME for current games, and two smaller SSD's from my old pc for other games that I also use)
- and do I need to erase those drives with the installed games, or can I just add them somehow after I installed and let Steam decide what ito do with the games (there are only Steam games installed and Battlenet with WoW)
Really hope this does not breake any rules. I did a fair share of research and already tried Mint and Bazzite, but was not fully satisfied with the expierence, so I thought I'm asking about SteamOS before I try this also again.
Thanks in advance!

Steam Deck OLED / Arknights: Endfield Performance / DWProton-10.0-14
[ROG ALLY, CachyOS] Is there any way to control fan speed?
Hello, I’ve just installed CachyOS on my Rog Ally Z1e and couldn’t be more pleased. It runs nice, games are working better, sleep/wake is amazing, but one thing bothers me a little bit. I’m not able to control my fans and they are spinning quite often. It’s not a big deal but on windows Armory Crate was able to apply custom curves. I’ve tried CoolerControl which looks great but it does not show any channel under Controls. Os there any way to do it on the CachyOS?

How do I get FIFA 15 to run?
When running via proton, it shows the EA badge. Then like a minute later (which is too long it only takes 2 seconds in Windows), the actual FIFA 15 opens. It gets past the loading animation into the language select. There, the flag waves a few times and it freezes. Pressing the input to select the language before it freezes does nothing. I tried Proton 7, 8, 9, 10 and Experimental and I tried GE-Proton too. I also tried installing Media Foundation via protontricks. FIFA 16, though, runs perfectly fine. I'm on a Steam Deck OLED and everything is fully updated. Any help?

Capping to 90fps Produces Frame Time Stutter
Hey folks. I like to play games at 90fps. But I am facing some problems.
I have an RTX 5080, running CachyOS. Screen is a 4K display set at 165hz refresh rate
Here's what happens:
- In Desktop, if I cap the fps to 90fps in Goverlay, the game stutters and has massive frame time jumps.
- In Desktop, if I cap the fps to 120fps in Goverlay, the game is buttery smooth
- If I launch Gamescope (SteamOS UI), and cap the game to 90fps using the QAM, it's buttery smooth.
I have tried the gamescope r-90 launch option but it produces the same stuttery result.
I am perplexed why this happens. It works fine in Windows.
Any idea how I can do this?
