Just got a Razer Huntsman V3 Pro - Can't get it to work in Polychromatic

15 Feb 2026 - 10:42pm

I just replaced all my devices with Razer gear (Tartarus Pro, Basilisk V3 Pro and Huntsman TKL V3 Pro). The Tar isn't supported, but the other two are. However, in Polychromatic, I can't interact with the Huntsman, it will let me interact with the mouse, though. I'm on CachyOS, too. Also, not sure if it's related, but I can't change the chroma effects on the Huntsman with fn + ctrl + number key.

I've done a ton of searching just to get openrazer working, but I can't figure out why the Huntsman isn't cooperating. What am I missing? TIA!

Unexpected great performance

15 Feb 2026 - 9:08pm

I was torn between Nobara and CachyOS, I ended up choosing Nobara (just because it looked more simple and it was my first Linux approach) and a week ago I installed it on my primary SSD. For context, my GPU is a 4070 Super.

Performance varies, some games the loss is minimal (Rocket League), some others the performance loss is major (The Finals, 40FPS loss and stutter when an enemy is close), while others get way better performance(up to 50% more, i have no idea how), like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, until it saturates VRAM and it starts stuttering.

I don't know if this behavior is expected, and I don't know what to make of it, but I know there should be an update around the corner for DX12 games (something about Heap Descriptor in DirectX->Vulkan traduction?) and I'm marvelled how some games can run so much better even under proton.

I really hope many more can come to Linux, because I don't miss Windows one bit, Nobara is snappy, fast, doesn't gobble up ram, file transfer with external sources is chef's kiss.
One strange thing I don't understand is why everytime it asks to elaborate Vulkan's shader but in some games, if it reaches 100% the games crashes even before starting, while if i just skip it it's all good.

Do you have some tips regarding the VRAM problem or the performance loss on some games? :)

Civ VI on Stream crashing when opening

15 Feb 2026 - 8:08pm

Hello, I am so sorry, I know this has been asked several times but I really cannot get it working even after spending 4 hours on it and now I am only frustrated. When I open Civ VI it gets stuck on the very first charging page, pc completely freezes and I have to force to turn it off completely and restart it. I tried running the Proton version and after asking me if I want to use direct 11 or 12, it gives me an error with both options saying graphic is not supported. Please explain to me like I'm 6, I know the basic of the basics of Ubuntu and nothing more. Thank you so much

Lutris EAapp conflicting with Steam install

15 Feb 2026 - 7:37pm

I tried installing sims4 from lutris by installing the EAapp but it kept crashing. I switched to installing from steam and now everytime I try to install the EAapp from that it errors out. it's clearly conflicting with my lutris install because I tried it on another account and it worked perfectly. does anyone know what files might be conflicting or what to nuke from lutris' install files?

I've tried removing the EAapp from lutris and tried uninstalling lutris but obviously that doesn't remove the files that are conflicting

My steam page is finally live

15 Feb 2026 - 7:33pm

It runs natively on Linux. I personally use ubuntu and it was important for me to make sure that it runs properly on it.

Touchscreen as a trackpad on KDE Wayland

15 Feb 2026 - 7:25pm

I need a way to turn the touchscreen into trackpad on KDE Wayland (Bazzite). I've already tried touchegg with touche, but it doesn't seem to be working (in all fairness, it says it doesn't officially support Wayland). I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to turn a touchscreen into a trackpad.
