(EndeavourOS) Warframe crashes on launcher

3 Nov 2025 - 9:08am

Playing on Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 running EndeavorOS with KDE Plasma, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 (8) @ 4.80 GHz, Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.35 GHz [Integrated]

Game crashes 5 seconds into the launcher, no EE.log generated so have the terminal Steam logs if it'd help: https://pastes.io/steam-startup-log-on-endeavouros-with-immediate-update-check

Tried the following: Proton Experimental/9.0-4/10.0-2/Hotfix/GE 10-25, enabling/disabling DX12 in launch settings, disabling shader pre-caching, none of them works

Performance difference between windows 11 and bazzite?

3 Nov 2025 - 8:43am

Hi! I'm really tired of windows and want to change to bazzite. I've heard so many different takes on performance. Some says it's better some it's the same and some that the games run worse. I've have a mid range pc and I only play cs2 and now I've played alot of arc raiders. I don't use this pc to anything else than gaming so I will turn this in to a pure gaming machine and I'm not very good at pcs so I'm looking to go with bazzite for that reason. Tho my pc is not the greatest I don't want to loose any fps. Especially in cs2..

Specs: ryzen 7 3700x rx 9060xt16gb 2x16g 3200mhz.

some GTA 5 Legacy mods dont work.

3 Nov 2025 - 7:21am

Im running the game on Linux, and i want to mod it, but some mods don't work.

Asis and dlls work, like dinput8, OpenIV asi and Script Hook V.

The skip intro mod works for me, except the uncap fps mod.

Mods like Visiual Paradise and Fixes & Improvements don't work, even tough i could've sworn they worked when i installed them on windows.

Also, OpenIV on proton doesn't add folders when i drop them in and created folders dont show up unless i first extract a file to somewhere, so how do i fix that too?

MelonDS is suddenly crashing anytime I try to open a ROM on it. This did not occur before.

3 Nov 2025 - 6:13am

Title says it all. It was working just fine a couple of days ago, I haven't changed any settings since first setting everything up, and now it just won't go. I would like to fix this soon, I'm very impatient and getting frustrated.

Minecraft drops FPS on fullscreen mode - Bazzite Gnome

3 Nov 2025 - 4:41am

Hey guys, I'm having this weird issue since the last gnome update, where If I play minecraft fullscreen it starts dropping frames like crazy, which makes it super stuttery.

did you have it happen to some of you as well? Any fixes I could try?

ETA: If I make any other window draw on top of minecraft while fullscreen, it doesn't drop frames either.

Just made the switch

3 Nov 2025 - 4:24am

I’ve had an Ubuntu setup as a file and Plex server on an old Mac device, but just set up a dual boot on my Windows 11 machine to dodge the AI ‘upgrade’.

Tried Kubuntu briefly, but installed Steam incorrectly so I wiped it and installed Bazzite. I can’t tell the difference between running Infection Free Zone on Windows or Bazzite.

Sweet.

[Steam Deck] Roblox sober lagging

3 Nov 2025 - 4:10am

Hey all, I recently installed sober on my steam deck lcd 512gb. Many people, including those that made the tutorials i followed seem to have no problem running any roblox game at a smooth 60fps. Yet for me, every single game i play is 60fps with frame dips - some worse than others.

I feel like something may be wrong here. There’s no way roblox of all things should be lagging on this thing right?

Can anyone relate or give some ideas to fix this?

At my wits end

3 Nov 2025 - 3:43am

Literally nothing I’ve tried or any OS I’ve tried have I been able to get to work with Vulkan/DirextX11 graphics.

I have tried Fedora, Cachy, Ubuntu, Mint, and every tutorial setup help and article I’ve found has been absolutely fucking useless.

My retired gaming laptop, Intel CoffeeLake i7 & bane of my fucking existence nVidia GP106M (GTX 1060 Mobile) has been passed down to my daughter to play Steam. Her two favorite games of course being the ones I can’t get to work worth a fuck.

Am I retarded? Incompetent? What the ever loving fuck am I doing wrong? I used Rufus to bypass Windows 11 upgrade which is what kicked this whole mess off, and the fucking morons at Microsoft bricked local users a week after I finally got this piece of shit working.

Is there anyone who knows how to make a fucking 1060 work with goddamn fucking Palworld or Harry Potter Legacies Jesus Christ this is ridiculous.

Does the extra overhead from Linux not being Windows overcome the performance loss of Nvidia drivers with DX12 games?

3 Nov 2025 - 2:46am

I ran Linux (Arch) for about a year, but returned to Windows due to wanting something curated more than my Arch install. I was basically constantly in fear of the next run of yay to update my system resulting in me having to reinstall.

I've now fallen victim to the new Windows Task Manager bug and I'm pretty sure this is my 13th reason.

If I return to Linux, I'm likely going to do so with CachyOS, so I won't be in fear of updates breaking things anymore.

What I am most worried about now is the performance of my RTX 4080.
I fully understand I'm going to lose things like HDR and VRR through HDMI because of the HDMI license issue, but what about FPS?

I can deal with running all of my displays through displayport as long as I can get 60FPS@2160p.

I want to play games like the Oblivion Remaster at max settings, 4K (DLSS Quality) @ 60 FPS. That means UE5, and I know how that's going to be a big ask.

Minecraft stutters only with shaders

3 Nov 2025 - 2:39am

So far gaming on linux has been amazing and all of my games have been running better except for minecraft. I seem to get the occasional micro stutter without shaders which is probably normal, But the second I turn on shaders i get this constant micro stutter that doesnt even show up on frame time graphs. I'm assuming somehow the shaders affect the frame delivery causing that. My gpu is running at a comfortable like 60-70% too so its not maxxing out. frames are also capped to a solid 120

Horrible audio latency on source engine games

3 Nov 2025 - 1:28am

OS: EndeavourOS
WM: Sway
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070
Drivers: nvidia 580.95.05-1

Having this issue with every source engine game I have tested, including HL2, Black Mesa, and Portal. The sound is delayed by something like 500ms, which makes for an unpleasant experience playing these games. All I could find online regarding this issue was to change the value of `snd_mixahead` in the console, which did nothing to fix the latency for me. This delay is also present regardless of whether I run the games with native runtime or proton, and I have no workshop mods enabled.

Thanks

Playing a game from steam uses both of my monitor instead of one

3 Nov 2025 - 1:17am

So I recently just installed catchy os to try and get a feel for linux and seem to have already run into an error on my end. I tried launching mgs v and for some reason the game was displayed on both of my monitors instead of one. I went in the game settings and had to set it to windowed and at the lowest resolution just to get it to my main display since everything else would still have it display across both screens no matter the resolution or if it was fullscreen or fullscreen borderless. Honestly might just reinstall the os since ive only had it for an hour and may have missed something during installation.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 hangar level white noise/static

3 Nov 2025 - 1:11am

Hi all, would appreciate any help on this issue: I've installed THPS2 PC version using Lutris (on my steam deck), game runs fine, but hangar level has some sort of white noise in the background, like static. It starts after 10 sec or so of the level starting. The issue is from the sound effects, not the music, tried both sepparetly. I've tried many suggested solutions (setting pulse latency variable, running compatibility with windows xp, etc), 2 weeks and nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
