Hello everyone,

I wanted to share my experience with CachyOS, hoping it might help others in a similar situation.

My system specs:

• Intel i7 12700KF
• NVIDIA RTX 3070
• Samsung 970 EVO 1TB SSD
• 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3600MHz

It all started with Linux Mint. I gave it a try, but I had persistent issues with X11—especially when using dual monitors with different refresh rates. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to work properly. I attempted Wayland on Mint as well, but that was a mess too (I'll skip the details—it’s behind me now 😅).

Then I moved on to Pop!_OS. While it was a bit better, I still ran into problems—mainly poor gaming performance and a few annoying bugs that I couldn’t ignore.

So I began searching for a long-term distro that I could really settle on. That’s when I discovered CachyOS. At first, I was hesitant about using an Arch-based distro, but I decided to give it a shot anyway.

The live environment ran flawlessly—everything just worked. I was especially impressed by how easy it was to set up my partitions (I have two 500GB partitions—one for Windows). I simply selected "Use a partition" during installation, rebooted, and I was in CachyOS.

From there, I installed the Bore kernel (which I read performs better on Alder Lake CPUs), and added all the software I needed—including the CachyOS gaming packages. I’m not exactly sure what they do behind the scenes, but they seemed useful, so I went for it.

Then I launched a game that previously ran poorly on Mint and Pop!_OS—and to my surprise, it performed just as well as it does on Windows. I tested more games and had zero issues.

I know it might sound silly, but I genuinely fell in love with this distro. Everything works smoothly, and the performance is fantastic.

Huge thanks to everyone involved in developing CachyOS. I'm extremely happy with my new setup.

Good evening, I am here to ask for advice on if it's possible to improve performance with ray tracing enabled, specifications are as follows:

Garuda Linux, up to date. Ryzen 7 5700G. RTX 3070. 16GB RAM.

In particular, I want to improve performance in The Outlast Trials. It runs perfectly for me without RT, but suffers frame drops with it enabled. It seems to put a lot of strain on my PC. I am using Steam with its built-in Proton. My friend is able to run it perfectly with RT on windows with similar, slightly worse PC specs.

I am fine without it of course, maybe it is the price I pay for using Linux, but the visual improvement is nice especially for screenshots. thanks in advance for any tips :)

I'm new to Linux, I have a Nvidia RTX 4060, I installed the drivers from the driver manager and selected the first option that said "recommended" and then rebooted my system. Is there something else I should do? I've seen a ton of people talking about them not being the latest ones and so on.

EDIT: I'm on Mint 22.1

I’ve tried vitals, and it seems like it’d do what I want, but it only shows max gpu temp, not cpu for some reason. I know Mangohud exists, but I want something I can run in the background and then look at after gaming to see my maximum temps, like HWinfo.

I'm trying to install Genshin Impact on a drive that isn't my main drive. i have it properly mounted and there is 660.9GB of free space on it, when i try to download Genshin to a file in that drive it says the drive only has 3.81GB free which is not remotely accurate. What could be causing this??

Been having this issue for several games.
Been trying all different Protons, including GE. Either absolutely nothing happens, or the error in the image occur, or the NBA2K25 loadscreen pops up then disappear, and the Play button becomes green again.

Also tried to install the game in different partitions, including local partition where Steam resides.

Any suggestions?

Hey all, hoping someone here has seen this before and can point me in the right direction. Across many different distros (Manjaro, Garuda, Fedora, Bazzite, Kubuntu), I have been getting an issue after about 45 minutes of gameplay where I get sudden framerate drops from 100+ to 18-20 for a second every 10 seconds or so. This happens in every game I've played, whether native or using Proton. If I restart the game, it's fine for another 45 minutes.

I finally narrowed this down to being tied to input from my mouse and keyboard. If I'm just sitting there, not touching them, no matter how much is going on on the screen, no drops. So today, when it started happening, I decided to plug in my PS5 controller. Absolutely no issues whatsoever when using that. However, that doesn't work for all the games I play, and, frankly, I'm pretty awful on a controller, so it's not really a solution for me.

Things I've tried:

• Updating BIOS
• Disabling Legacy USB Support in BIOS
• Unplugging all other USB devices (this was before I realized the controller worked fine)
• Different mouse and keyboard
• Only mouse or keyboard plugged in (with either, input still caused drops)
• Different desktop environments (KDE and Gnome, no difference, not suprisingly)
• Different/disabled XMP profiles for memory
• Searching distro forms/Reddit...can't seem to find anyone with quite this issue

System Specs:

• Gigabyte B650 Auros Elite AX V2 Motherboard
• AMD 9700X
• 32GB 6000MHz Ram (Teamgroup)
• Radeon 6800
• WD Black 1TB NVMe SSD
• Currently running Bazzite KDE

Any input or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

On a computer set up to dual boot Windows 10 and Linux, would I be able to use the same installation of a game on both operating systems (assuming that I am using Proton to run the game under Linux)? My Steam games are currently installed on a separate drive from the OS and the drive is formatted with NTFS.

Hey, I'd like to ask what is the state of hardware acceleration in Chromium browsers, I'd like to switch from Win 11 to Cachy OS and what I saw is that nvidia-vaapi driver from GitHub works only in Firefox but I really would like to use chromium or brave, becouse I daily use Messenger which only works in Chromium.

Also I would like to ask about state of Nvidia drivers on Linux, in windows last year I'm seeing constant decrease of stability of the driver, for example: in some games like WoT, Sons of the forest or BF1, im getting issues like driver resets, black screens or issues that says that my GPU has been removed from my system. Do those issues exist in Linux? I'm getting a headache almost every time I boot into Windows.

I've been on windows for years and have finally had enough of it just straight up telling me outright I can do this I can't do that and it just unraveling itself and am looking at what would be a Noob friendly Distro Primarily will be Gaming and Just light web browsing not a deal else, Ideal if it also has decent HDR & VRR support but can live without

I'm going to daily drive Linux Mint on my next pc (first Linux pc) and want to play Schedule I with my friend. I already checked protonDB and know the game itself works, but nobody mentioned multiplayer.

Thanks

Opollo - little indie arcade shoot em up for Linux and the steam deck!

We've heard that the refresh rate on steam deck can be altered... How do games handle that without running fast or slow?

I've been using Linux for about three weeks now.
Distribution: EndeavourOS
Desktop Environment: GNOME 48.1 running under an XWayland session.
GPU and GPU's version: Nvidia 4060 Ti, 575.xx driver.

Proton Version: Proton GE latest.

And let me just say — I'm absolutely loving it. It's been a great experience overall. I also played games, and in fact, the first game I finished was Dark Souls Remastered.

Now, here’s my concern. My GPU is an RTX 4060 Ti, and I’ve noticed something strange with Cyberpunk 2077. I'm running it at 1080p, Ultra settings, Ray Tracing enabled, and DLSS 3 Frame Generation turned on. However, the performance drops significantly — I get frame rates below 60 FPS.

Interestingly, on Windows, using the exact same settings, the performance was much smoother and I consistently got higher FPS. But when I disable Ray Tracing on Linux, the game runs much better.

So my question is:
Are there any extra parameters or tweaks I should be using on Linux to get better Ray Tracing performance?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I'm currently using Windows 11 on my PC, mainly for both gaming and studying/coding. I've been reading a lot about Linux lately, and I'm thinking of trying it out. Many people have suggested Linux Mint as a good option for beginners.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Do I need to transfer the files for every game to Linux in order to play with my save data? Or can Linux read the game files directly from my Windows?
2. For better space optimization—let’s say I install all the games and they run perfectly on Linux—if I uninstall the same games from Windows, would that affect or damage the saves on Linux? (Why should I have two copies of each game?)

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all,

Something I really like doing on windows is using the blurbusters recommended G sync settings, which is using G sync, Reflex, and Nvidia Control Panel V Sync in order to cancel out V sync input delay and have a smooth gaming experience. I also use Nvidia Control Panel to cap fps, as it has the least input latency (compared to RTSS).

Are these features available on linux? They make my games very smooth while having low latency. I'd consider the lack of these features to be a deal breaker.

Thanks!

I'm trying to run Rocket League (Steam) on Mint and while it used to run yesterday today it's stuck on running and the game window is nowhere to be found. Tried changing versions from Hotfix to Experimental to 9.0 to GE, etc. Any fix for an issue like this?

I'm wondering how it manages prefixes. Does it call Skyrims prefix itself? So for example anything like dependencies like dotnet6 or something does it go to 611670, or does it make its own prefix? I would like to add a, separate portion on NaK for Limo that gets users setup with all the dependencies for like Synthesis, EasyNPC, Pandora. OR does Limo automatically install all of that? IS there a discord I could join or check out? I mean I could always try it out, and go from there but I just want to get an idea before I go in and start making something in my script. Oh and one more thing, how does this work for GoG users?
