I was having the issue where DLSS frame gen was not available in Cyberpunk 2077 through Steam. Off and FSR frame gen were the only options. After playing around with various Steam launch options and BIOS settings, I found that disabling both hybrid and integrated graphics in BIOS solved this and the option is now available. No launcher options required. I'm launching Flatpak through Steam, using a 9000-series AMD CPU and 5000-series NVIDIA GPU.

I don't know why this works, but thought I'd drop this in case it helps someone. YMMV.

Hi, I have decided to make a dual boot system on my current windows 10 PC.

I have downloaded the recovery steam OS from steam page and created a Bootable USB device using Rufus.

However, I am being unable to boot into steam OS setup whenever I select boot from the usb device. It just says loading operating system and nothing beyond this message and sometimes it just switches to boot from the boot option first option which is my primary windows system after failing to load the steam OS.

I have tried different usb storages from thumbsticks to external HDDS and still failed to boot. I have also tried other Linux based OSs and was able to boot fine.

Would appreciate if you guys could help me to resolve this issue.

Note: my GPU is RX 480, shall I post my hardware information or wouldn't it matter?

its doing well now, its 60% there and if it keeps this momentum up it will make it easily.

Also try to spam this initiative to all your friends/acquaintances who might be interested to sign this.

Hi everyone,

I’m using an Asus laptop with the Intel UHD 600 integrated GPU. I recently installed CachyOS hoping to get smoother gameplay.

On Linux, I get around 60-70 FPS in Minecraft. Using the exact same save file and mods on Windows 11, my FPS drops to around 20-30, plus I get short freezes every 1-2 minutes on Windows. So linux is muuch more efficient in my system about FPS and stability.

But here’s what confuses me the most: • On CachyOS, my CPU temperature stays around 90-100°C on minecraft. • On Windows, it stays between 70-90°C under the same conditions.

Why is there such a big temperature difference?

Should I try a different Linux distro instead of CachyOS?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Let me start by saying that I don't want to criticize Linux, which I love and have used for many years. That said, at this point I realize that some aspects are overrated. I have an ASUS laptop that originally came with Windows 10.

Since support is ending, I decided to install Linux. Everything went fine at first, but unfortunately, the only game I play 'Dark Age of Camelot' not only runs poorly, but also causes the PC to overheat and shut down.

Thinking it might just be that game, I installed Steam, and the same thing happened. So yes, Linux is great, and that has to be acknowledged, but it's definitely not the solution for everyone. Also, I'm not exactly new to the Linux world, so I did everything possible to prevent the issue, from using TLP to CPU_autofreq. In short, using Linux on certain hardware is a downgrade.

I'm new to Linux, and maybe I didn't make the best decision in operating it, because I've had many problems installing applications, especially games. I am writing this for help to install steam games that are not enabled in the SteamOs+ Linux option, for example R.E.P.O. and Schedule 1.

Thanks!!

I'll start by saying I experienced frequent crashes back when I used windows as well (same graphics card I'm using now), and i fixed it on Windows by setting the video driver timeout to a higher number in the refistry editor.

I'm on Arch Linux running Hyprland. PC specs are: Ryzen 7 3700x MSI RX 5700 XT MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi Mobo

Using vulkan-radeon instead of amdvlk

I've seen people saying they're having great experiences using AMD cards even on linux, but this card has been nothing but a nightmare for me. I've tried every version of Proton (including GE). Some games I don't get crashes anymore, some its rare, and some I can't play because it's so bad. And when the GPU crashes, I have to restart the whole computer.

I guess my question is, do other people have this experience? I need to upgrade the card regardless (8GB VRAM doesn't cut it anymore), but I'm nervous I'm going to have the same experience if I get something like a 9070 XT.

Is the RX 5700 XT (or specifically the MSI one) just a bad/unstable card? I know they had driver issues on launch with it, but I read that it got fixed pretty fast.

Hello, I'm trying to install a game I have on the epic games store through the heroic games launcher, the problem is that this game on epic just downloads the installer for the game, and when I try to run the installer, it seems to think that it only has ~70GB available, when the drive I have both the installer and the prefix installed on has >300GB free, and the game needs ~90GB free to install. Just in case this matters, the drive isn't my boot drive. Is there any way I could fix this?

Feel free to call my question dumb, it might be, I'm a Linux noob. But I read somewhere that Mesa 25.2 will come sometime in July or August bringing with it better support for RDNA4 gpus and Ray Tracing, would this mean we'll get FSR 4 support on native titles then (using a 9000 series gpu)? Or will that take longer?

I'm planning on upgrading my 7700xt to a 9070xt so I'd like to know how much would I need to wait for those things or whats the current state or near future plans for the 9000 gpus under Linux. Thank you all

Having issues with Battlefront 2. Using Arch and I have an Nvidia RTX card. I tried to launch the game through Heroic first but that didn't work. The EA app would launch and I could never get the game itself to launch. I tried Lutris and launching it through the EA app that way, no luck. I tried bottles, both the EA app and Epic Games Launcher, no luck. I tried Epic and EA app through steam with proton directly, no luck. I then even bought the game again on steam since it was cheap and on sale, and again, the EA app launches but the game itself never does. Any ideas how to fix this? I've tried proton hotfix, experimental, GE 10.4, GE 9 etc etc. Cant seem to get the game to launch at all.

So I came across a game the other day where the steam version says it's playable on Linux, but the GOG version doesn't say that.

Are Steam & GOG actually distributing two so different files that one can be played on Linux and the other can't?

I'm also irritated because some GOG games explicitly say Ubuntu - do they really only run on Ubuntu and no other distro?

What has your experience been with GOG on Linux?

When I used Fedora it worked normally, after I migrated to CachyOS with Kde Plasma it only records the audio, the video recording itself is black, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it (this post was translated into English by reddit, so there may be miscommunication)

Has anyone noticed that the EA APP consumes too much Ram with Steam soon? I'm playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 every time I play, the EA app needs to be open, I have no problems with that, the problem is that this App is consuming almost 4GB of Ram

So I'm thinking of redoing my setup, I plan probably to go onto Mac. Yes I know a Mac is not for gaming, but apple silicon performs well enough for the games I want to play and just provides me a lot of other uses, game development my case and I know Mac ain't for that but I only intend to stick to the likes of Godot and 2D development so that's not an issue for me. Also a Mac mini m4 and an iPad M3 is cheaper than a custom pc setup I would go for ;-; (I've built so many PCs and setups for other people and now when it comes to my own I look at the price and even with the apple tax for RAM it's still cheaper, I hate the current state of the PC market.) But anyways that aside I wanted to see if Linux could potentially change my mind, I finally got drawn over the edge with windows finally deciding to give me ads and after all the years of errors and pain im just looking for something else. I've daily driven Ubuntu before, didn't like it just wasn't as straightforward as I would like. I would like to add I am a programmer and tech nerd so I can tinker and like that, but I don't want to deal with that to just install a simple game too much, I want something reliable and easy but I can get under the hood and customise later, cause say what you want but I find all of the stock distros to just be not ugly but not good looking and will be customising that later. I still need windows for valorant unfortunately, I also use an Nvidia GPU in my laptop so I don't want too much hassle dealing with Nvidia drivers but as torvalds once said F you Nvidia, so I understand if there is a bit of work there. I was thinking of Mint or PopOS, leaning towards mint cause I just see it working and has good customisation. Really wanted to just use Steam OS but intel CPU and Nvidia GPU and it not being fully ready is unfortunate. So yeah this is mostly me trying to just see if switching lets me do light game dev better. My laptop mostly deals with poor thermal design, but I wanna see if Linux can just breathe enough life until I'm happy enough with prices to build a custom PC, like seriously apple is the better value right now, please kill me. So yeah any recommendations? My laptop is an acer aspire with an i5-1135G7 and Mx350, 20gb of RAM if anyone has any recommendations for a distro that could give low overhead to that spec of machine. Oh and my setup is also 2 SSDs, m.2 512gb and SATA 512gb, I'm thinking of keeping OSs on single drive and the SATA drive just holds files but if anyone advises otherwise for a good reason I'm all ears.

But yeah please any suggestions, tips and knowledge you can depart. (Also yes apple not for games or game dev, but my use case its better value unfortunately:( so hopefully Linux can drop that horror from happening, cause an iPad for game dev set with a Mac mini or even MacBook is tempting af with this value). Oh and for a custom PC I want a R9 7900, 9070, 2tb lexar NM790, asrock B850m pro a WiFi, gskill ram at cl26 at 6000mhz, seasonic 850w and fractal north mesh and a phantom spirit. Those specs are non negotiables so don't try and tempt me from them, I know my PC parts they hold what I would want.

Sorry if that comes off a bit demanding. I just wanted to give full context and make it clear what I'm after. Thanks for the replies.

So yeah, pretty much as stated in the title, booting up Steam opens a window that asks for log in. I´ve tried logging in via username and password, as well as via the steam guard QR code. The result both times is getting stuck on the loading screen once (it appears) my log in details are verified. I´ve attached an image of the screen in question.

I have tried deleting all Steam related files, uninstalling and reinstalling, using both website download and apt install. Tried firewall on and off, tried using different WiFi connections etc..

I´m completely stumped to say the least. This is the terminal log as I launch Steam in the terminal:

Generally in Star Wars the Old Republic, the game takes the Windows 10/11/x cursor and uses that size to make its own cursor. However, in Linux using Steam's Proton and others like GE, the mouse is fixed to 25x25, which is way to small for my 55' TV.

I've tried;
Setting XCURSOR_SIZE variable
Changing DPI with protontricks
Changing regedit CursorBaseSzie with protontricks
Changing the built in CursorSize in regedit with protontricks
Changing the resoultion in game to a smaller one, mouse the adopts to become the same size relative to my normal screen instead of the game, nevertheless, useless. (Happens in fullscreen, borderless and windowed)

I've also confirmed that the settings where changed and applied correctly, they just didn't have any effect on the actual game.

How in gods name can I change this damn cursor!

I'm on;
Archlinux
KDE Plasma 6 Wayland

Steam also has a smaller cursor then KDE's but it is a wine program itself, if I remember correctly and I havent messed with it. Probably not note worthy but meh.
