I've been trying to setup WiVRn because I'm on Wayland with an Nvidia GPU (Thus SteamVR is really broken, for me it straight up does not launch the GUI window) but for some reason every time I try to launch a game it doesn't launch it in VR mode, only in Desktop mode.

For example, I tried to run Pavlov both from the headset and from the desktop with WiVRn connected and it does launch but it throws an error that reads "No VR headset detected"

I'm using both the flatpak versions of Steam and WiVRn, tried both xrizer and OpenComposite as well, I have also added all of the launch arguments and flatpak overrides.

I have found a fix for the black lines that appear around objects on linux. You have to turn model quality to low, it seems to be thats the issue, anything higher like medium still causes it for me anyway.

I run cachyos using proton hotfix, with a 6700xt and ryzen 5 3600 for anyone wondering.

I'm using SteamOS with My custom PC build (9600x + 9060 XT 16GB) and have used FSR 4.0.2 with decky-framegen

Recently I tried to enforce FSR 4.1 with the leaked amdxcffx64.dll but failed.

Is there anyone who tried FSR 4.1?

Hi everyone I am currently trying to play Crimson Desert but I am encountering this weird grapgics glitch around trees and foliage. Changing the upscaler or graphics options does not get rid of the problem, it gets even worse when I try to change upscaling from Native AA to Quality and it is even there when no Upscaler is active. Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it? I used Proton GE Latest as well as Proton Hotfix.

My System Specs are:

Betriebssystem: Nobara Linux 43

KDE-Plasma-Version: 6.6.2

KDE-Frameworks-Version: 6.24.0

Qt-Version: 6.10.2

Kernel-Version: 6.19.8-200.nobara.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)

Grafik-Plattform: Wayland

Prozessoren: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor

Arbeitsspeicher: 32 GiB (30,5 GiB nutzbar)

Grafikprozessor 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

Grafikprozessor 2: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor

Some RDNA and Polaris GPUs may perform better on Linux. That’s why I was curious to see how a Vega GPU would perform, and the results were 7% better on Windows.

You might think that 3 FPS doesn’t make a difference. But this isn’t a gaming laptop, and it can barely run Resident Evil 2 at 1080p with FSR Quality. This means that if your FPS drops below 30, you’ll need to lower some key settings or use FSR’s balanced mode. In situations like this, where the FPS is barely sufficient, I recommend aiming for the best possible performance

Linux, 37FPS

Linux CachyOS, 37FPS in a DX11 game

Windows 40FPS

Windows 11 LTSC , 40FPS in the same game.

Linux, 33FPS

CachyOS, 33FPS in a DX12 game

Windows, 35FPS

Windows 11, 35FPS in the same game

I followed this video - https://youtu.be/w6O3VKbU4KA And gta online is now working perfectly, i am using heroic games launcher as my game was in my epic games account. I have not tested public lobby as i dont want to risk my account (i don't know if Rockstar can ban me or not). I just wanted to share this as it might help people like me who wanted to play (solo atleast) in gta online. Do Tell me if someone is able to play in public session as well using this method...

Yes, I know it released yesterday, but I still would like to hear your potential solutions.
Laptop: Asus ROG Zephyrus gx502lws
proton: proton-cachyos-10.0-20260312
nvidia drivers: 595.45.04

My gpu is in Ultimate mode, which means dGPU is used instead of iGPU.

I have low gpu utilization in DS2, it is about 40-60%, while CPU is over 90% or 100%. In open area it's ~56%, in room it's ~40% On windows gpu is close to 100% and always around 60 fps.
Graphics are at medium, fg on, dlss on on both Linux and windows.
Few days before DS2 release I tried Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 at different settings, RT, and they even had a few fps more than on windows, and better 1% lows, which was very impressive to me.

I have tried:
setting setting cpu performance governor to performance:
sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance

VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr and VKD3D_CONFIG=nodxr

prime-run %command% which didn't do any difference
I use game-performance %command% in all games and it also didn't help DS2.

in room gpu utilization is 38%

in open areas gpu utilization is ~54%

Not my work, not my article, not a part of retro deck, just an interesting article I spotted posted which does a deep dive with the retro deck crew. Nice to see their views on a bunch of stuff like emulation, why retro deck does more than just emulate, their passions for retro gaming. A nice focus on what retro deck is and does and why it is different to the EmuDeck option.

Thought it'd be enjoyed in here too:

Hey everyone,

I submitted a support ticket to Rockstar Games asking them to enable GTA Online on Linux via Proton, because right now it’s blocked due to BattlEye (“Please enable BattlEye”).

Instead of addressing the issue, they just moved my ticket to “feedback” and closed it. No explanation, no help — basically ignoring Linux users.

I created a petition to push for official Linux support: [Full petition link]

I am running a dual boot Rog ally X, I honestly prefer playing most games in bazzite. I bought both of these games, but I can’t get the games to look decent enough to play (significant lag and choppiness). Any idea what settings I should have?

Hey Linux gamers!

Right now, GTA Online is blocked on Linux due to the BattlEye anti-cheat (“Please enable BattlEye”), even though BattlEye already works with Proton in other games.
I created a petition on Change.org asking Rockstar Games to add official Linux and Proton support.

Every signature helps show the developers that Linux gamers exist and want to play online safely.
Thanks for your support!

Привет, Linux-геймеры!

Сейчас GTA Online на Linux заблокирована из-за античита BattlEye (“Please enable BattlEye”), хотя эта система уже работает через Proton в других играх.
Я создал петицию на https://c.org/n92xGwc8ck, чтобы попросить Rockstar Games добавить официальную поддержку Linux и Proton.

Hey guys I created four total scripts, two for AMD systems with an RX 9070xt and the rest for all systems ( Nvidia, Intel ARC and AMD) GPU's. It is a gaming optimizer for your Debian based OS. It adds in the latest kernel drivers, Mesa drivers, Gpu and Cpu drivers. Adds support for the most up to date raytracing capabilities, as well as Newest upscaling technologies like FSR 4, DLSS 4.5, Intel XESS 3, and cutting edge anti-cheat support.

I am using Zorin os 18, and it changed my stock install with a gaming beast of an OS. Please check it out if you guys are interested and let me know!

Enjoy guys! Here is the link to my Github page for the Scripts:

I want to switch on linux on my personal laptop (fyi I know Linux and use it already for office work) but I’m unaware of whats the situation of Gaming in Linux, I did some research and its filled with mixed reviews.

My system specs:

256 ssd 1 tb hdd

Ryzen 4600H

I mostly play games like RDR2 and CSGO.

Please suggest if it would be good to switch to Linux for gaming.

I’m tired of Windows eating my RAM and Fu Bill gates

I need to block controller output, otherwise every time i tap my controller keys they send both their native controller output, and the keyboard key i set using Antimicrox.

Mostly playing games through proton/wine through Lutris and Steam, Tuxedo OS

Thanks

I recently got tired of Windows and started researching gaming on Linux. Most recommendations suggested Bazzite and Pop! OS. I decided to start with Bazzite, playing Overwatch. After installing the game, I chose Proton Experimental. Upon first launch, I experienced significant lag and very low FPS. I further researched and tried GaMode for performance optimization and Mango HUD to monitor FPS. While Mango HUD showed over 100 FPS, visually, the image quality was barely reaching 60 FPS. After researching via Gemini, I found the problem might be due to using a laptop with a separate monitor (Hz) for gaming, causing inaccuracies. However, even after following the suggested solutions and using only the separate monitor (Hz), the problem persisted. I then switched to Pop! OS to test for similar issues. After installation and setup, the FPS problem disappeared, but a different problem arose: after a match, my character would constantly face upwards and couldn't be dragged back down. Every time I pressed the shoot button, the screen would rotate, so Gemini suggested I use a game scope. After installing it and putting the code in the launch options, when I started the game, my screen froze and I couldn't do anything. So I decided to turn off the computer and try again tomorrow. I don't want to give up on Linux and go back to Windows yet. Are there any other distros I should try? submitted by /u/Fun_Chemistry9448
