Hey folks,

I just finished installing CachyOS on a second drive, and was wondering if it's possible to dual boot Win11 and CachyOS and play Battlefield 6. It's a pretty ridiculous question now that I'm typing it out.

I have GRUB set up as my bootloader, and the bios boot sequence using the CachyOS drive. To get this working I had to set the operating system in 'Secure Boot' to 'Other OS' - otherwise when trying to boot it would spit out an 'unauthorized changes on the firmware, operating system or UEFI drivers' error, and just boot Win11.

However with secure boot set to 'Other OS' BF6 won't run in Win11 as it thinks secure boot is disabled - thanks javelin anti cheat, or I guess people who cheat in online games?

Everything else seems to work really well, and I'm hoping that to play battlefield won't require bios changes every time?!

Linux gaming has reached a new milestone. According to GamingOnLinux, the October 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows Linux systems now account for 3.05% of all active Steam users, the first time the platform has broken the 3% barrier. The surge highlights continued momentum in Linux gaming adoption, likely boosted by the approaching end of Windows 10 support.

Specs are 4090 with i9-14900KF. Every game that I attempt to use DLSS Frame Generation with works, but after a few minutes, or sometimes at random, it will stop generating frames and becomes very choppy/laggy. It actually becomes worse than just turning it off entirely.

I have been trying to find a fix for awhile, but I can't find anything online or anyone else experiencing the same issues. Does anyone know what I could try to do to fix this?

I'm very new to this yet other games like Voices of the Void (unreal engine 4) work just fine. I've installed proton GE and tried I think like 7 different versions already, but it the window doesn't even pop up. It says it's launched on steam and a second later it's gone, and the game is off. I am using cachyos, just installed plus the gaming meta package. Is there any crucial dependency I am missing? A driver?

I want to run games on my void linux, but I don't know how to configure it and I'm very new to it, also my computer is very weak, it doesn't support Vulkan Can anyone help me configure it?

I am searching for a VM to play league on.

i recently moved to Linux and a friend convinced me to play league again but it is not supported for Linux.

so, any recommendations of VM to play at good fps?

I want to possibly use an EGPU for my laptop using thunderbolt 4

I'm aware it's plug and play on windows but unfamiliar with the process on Linux, how well does it work?

GPU choice will be AMD, just not sure what card yet.

Will be Fedora Linux with KDE Plasma

CPU will be Core I5-1135G7

AMD’s recent decision to move its RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 Windows GPU drivers into maintenance mode sparked concern among Radeon users, but Linux gamers have nothing to worry about.

I am having this weird issue with my DS4 on bazzite where it has to be facing the PC directly and it has to be close to it for it to register inputs. This doesn't happen when I connect it to my phone.

Does this have to do with my laptop's wireless card?

Trying to play KH3 after updating to Fedora 43, and i'm having trouble to open KH3 (and the other 2 collections), Bloodstained, DMC5 and TLoU, Crysis 2, Prodigal, among the ones I tested, while Wizard of Legend, Chrono Trigger, Stardew Valley, Alan Wake (but only a black screen), are working fine

Although only KH3 returned the crash screen, some of the ones not working, returned the first image, while the rest just closed the game without an error message.

Hello everyone, shy question. some games don't support the resolution of my 49" Display (5120x1440) this doesn't really bother me that much but out of curiosity is there a way to add Blackbars or play fullscreen without streching the game? via a launch option or similar? Thanks in advance

Hey all,
really hoping someone has the time to help me with this.
I'm trying to run modded Fallout NV (FNV) on Mint.
I use Mod Organizer 2 (MO2), which is run through Proton Experimental via Steam, linked to the compatdata of FNV.
FNV running on Proton 9.x can access my dGPU, but running FNV through MO2 only detects the iGPU. I need it to run through MO2.
I've tried using Steam Launch Command DRI_PRIME=1 %command% and *=0* on each application. Looked at tonnes of articles that could hint to solutions, but found nothing. I can't disable the iGPU from BIOS. nvidia-settings has no option to select a specific application to force dGPU usage. I'm using the latest driver.

I'd really appreciate help, as I'm dumbfounded to what the solution could be.

Hey,
I just started Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition again and noticed that after loading into the game, it takes about a minute until my graphics card generates max 3000+ FPS, with lows only around 40, but average fully within my set limit of 120 FPS. This causes the game to feel stuttery.

After some time again, the average stays at 120 FPS, but max at 200 FPS with lows at 110 FPS, which feels great and smooth. But for some reason the game switches between these two scenarios all the time.

I limited the FPS by using DXVK_FRAME_RATE=120 %command% --launcher-skip in Steam, however this only limits the average framerate.

Does anyone know a simple way to limit the max FPS to something like 200-300 FPS aswell?
I tried Mangohud, multiple start parameter and even tried the official AMD drivers for my card.
My kernel is up to date.

Specs: Ryzen 7 5800x3d, Radeon RX7800xt, 32GB Ram
I play on DirectX12 and it runs generally smoother and looks better than DirectX11 on highest settings. I also have Vsync turned on, and turning it off also causes some weird stutters, which is fine for me though. Everything else is on max preset with Raytracing turned off.

FPS counter always looks similar to this. You can see how the average framerate is exactly how I want it.

Thanks!

Is anyone else running into this? I've been trying to get the native Linux version working since it's supposed to perform better, but no matter what I do I'm getting severe stuttering and VRR flickering, especially in Act 3 areas.

Im running CachyOS with their default kernel on a Ryzen 7600 and an RX 7900 XT. I've tried recompiling shaders, reinstalling drivers, lowering all settings to the minimum and dropping the resolution to the lowest possible to narrow down the cause but so far I've had no luck.

At this point I'm wondering if it's a driver issue, something specific to the game or something else completely. Has anyone managed to get it running smoothly on a similar setup?

hi all im mai i like to much linux i have linux mint in my pc, i play some games and i did try play this game https://sunclassic.webzen.com/en
