Have visual glitches after moving to Linux
I use Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon distro
my specs are as follows:
CPU: i7-6700
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 550/550X
In Elden Ring I have visual glitches that appear every 30-180 seconds, for a few frames. They look like a bunch of green, and blue squares on my screen. Is there a way to fix it?

Considering a change
I've been using windows my whole life and I want to switch to linux but I'm just thinking of reasons why I should. Sure, Privacy and adds and all that stuff but I've managed to fix that with an autounattended.xml file and this software called Winhance. The only plus I can think of is customizability and performance, but I still want to switch but im just not sure its worth it. cause of compatibility with a few games I like. (Valorant and seige) Any advice?

I need a great distro
Hi, I need a distro for gaming and compatibility with 32-bit games with kde or gnome desktop enviroment and mangohud or vkbasalt can work on the distro, I tried distros like : (Cachyos - Endeauvor Os - Nobara - Pika Os - Fedora), and these distros are great but for me no because most of my games is 32-bit and gta iv cannot work on them, trying to change proton version and try some environment variable or launch option, right now I use pop os and gta iv worked! But I got problems with graphics issues, anyway I need great gaming distro have compatibility with 32-bit games and the desktop environment can be kde or gnome and thanks!

World of Warcraft Midnight Prepatch broke my game. Cannot launch it anymore.
I am using Lutris on Linux Mint (22.2 Zara) to play World of Warcraft and after the prepatch now I get this error message whenever I launch the game.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any easy fixes? I am not so tech savvy so I don't know how to fix this without spending huge amount of hours on this. And of course asking AI will most likely brick my pc when it starts hallucinating stuff and I follow it's bs instructions like a dummy, so I refrain from doing that.

FIFA 15 not working
I'm on Mint Cinnamon and used a repack from our pretty girl that works out. On Lutris with ProtonGE. I had these issues: 1. 80sec loading time 2. Freezing/crashing shortly after it launches - at language selection 3. Launching with black stripes on the sides = protonGE 9-21 fixed it - AI said it's because newer proton uses DXVK v2 and it messes up something.
- I've been told 14 and 16 run fine.
- I have all redistributables installed - Lutris handles some and pretty girl that works out also ships them with the game.
what more info can I provide?

what the hell is happening
Skyrim SE crash on GeForce MX450 running bottles.
Tried wine, proton, nothing works, both shows error. It used to work (with prime-run wine /home/username/application folder) before I upgrade wine. Only bottles works, but I can't use my NVidia GPU, although CachyOS load it on startup. Skyrim crash when I use dedicated GPU. I have to use lowest setting on integrated GPU Intel Iris XE.

Space Marine 2, either "Mods Detected" or "N-10" Connection Error on cachyOS
I'm trying to play SM2 on cachyOS but I always get either of these errors and can only play in offline mode.
if I try to connect to play with a VPN active, i get the N-10 error. if I try to play with the VPN off, I get the "Mods Detected" error despite no mods ever being installed.
I've tried all different Proton versions to no avail, deleted the Mods and Local folders in ...\client_pc\root folder, did a complete reinstall of the game, changed dns to cloudflare but still get these errors.
has anyone else had this issue as well or what other foxes can I attempt?

CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST
using the native Linux version on Kubuntu 25.10 on the main screen pops
FATAL ERROR: vulkan encounter unrecoverable error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST.
been trying to fix with deepseek since yesterday to no avail. with -dx11 shows the same error.
I was able to launch through Proton 9 but the performance was awful. vkcube and glxgears run correctly
my /home is mounted on a separate btrfs partition (same disk) if that matters.
here's my laptop specs:

Memory shortage avoided, kernel kills my game
Hey,
Basically this. When I play modded Cities Skylines I on steam on my fedora workstation, after a certain amount of assets installed, the kernel kills the game. Thing is that I have 32GB of ram and a very decent CPU. Has this happened to you before? I increased the swap file and tried so that the system would use less ram, but alas.
Perhaps I should buy more ram?

What games to play
I switched to Nobara 43 a couple days ago and dual booting with windows for some games that have EAC, i was wondering which kind of games are better on Linux rather than on windows since i saw some videos where on Linux the performance are way worse than windows

Thank you!
I want to sincerely thank the people of this subreddit! A few months ago I posted this
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/s/BJXxeBg1Qd
asking whether to switch to Linux for gaming. The comments were incredibly helpful and I ended up going with CachyOs.
I’ve had a few problems along the way but this has been a game changer for me. CachyOs is how I imagined operating systems would be in the future 10 years ago. It’s smooth, fast and I love not getting forced updates which sometimes break something. So far I’ve had no issues with the games I’ve played (the modern Doom trilogy, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades 2 and even some older titles). Not only that but my wireless ps5 controller works better (on windows it randomly couldn’t connect via Bluetooth after some update…). At this point I don’t see myself going back to windows at all (and good riddance).
I recommend anyone who is on the fence to give it a try.
Once again a big THANK YOU to the people of this sub!

nvidia driver modpost "was exported twice errors" dkms build error
Hello I've tried to install NVIDIA open drivers on my debian 13 with kernel version 6.12.63+deb13-amd64.
I have an rtx 5060 ti blackwell which means according to debian documentation that I can only install the open drivers.
But not matter which kernel version I try:
- 6.12.38+deb13
- 6.12.43+deb13
- 6.12.63+deb13
- 6.18.0-061800-generic
I tried different driver versions too: 575, 580, 590 and also the master branch of NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules
I also tried: https://github.com/devleonardoamaral/debian-nvidia-installer
I keep getting the same issue.
Here is a ticket opened on open-gpu-kernel-modules github with more information including logs. I'm open to any suggestions

Distro hopping
Hi guys, idk if the flair Is correct for this post. Also, i'm sorry, i know you get these questions a lot. I just want to know: Is there any real performance difference between Bazzite and CachyOS? I was planning to switch to Linux, but i am still not sure where to land. I will use this PC mainly for gaming, watching films and listening to music, i have a separate laptop for work and uni. My points are: i won't be doing much tinkering anyway, so a distro like Bazzite Is fine, but i'm willing to use CachyOS If overall It's better in terms of performance. Also, i have a thermalright cooler (Frozen warframe pro 360) with an integrated display. I don't know if coolercontrol (which can be installed with ujust, i checked) can interact in any way with the display, so i searched online for another software to do so. On GitHub i found one, but It Is not packaged for any distro (you need manually compile It from source). The thing Is: idk if i can do this on Bazzite itself. I know i can use and Arch distrobox container with a USB passthrough, tho i need to do some try and error to set It up. What do you suggest?
Edit: as pointed out in the comments, the bleeding edge nature of CachyOS Is not to be underestimated. I am on AM5 (ryzen 7 7700), with a Radeon RX 9070XT GPU. Is Bazzite good enough? Or do i need more of a bleeding edge solution?
