When DLSS 4.5 launched PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 would set the DLSS preset to the latest, which is preset M. I'm running CachyOS and only now, after some updates I've noticed it no longer does so, instead it reverts to preset K. Additionally I have tried using different Proton versions (CachyOS native and slr aswell as Proton-GE 28) and neither dlss-swapper nor manually swapping DLLs solved the issue.
I'm aware that there's the option of forcing a preset via driver override but some games wouldn't launch when I've used this method.
Is anyone else experience the same issue? I'm new to Linux so any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

When using Windows, I could open OpenAG, and things like advanced settings were installed alongside it, but now, even though there is a Linux build of OpenAG, I can't open it natively. Does anyone know why?

I have 256 GB SSD, along with intel i5 13th gen. Will redux mod work properly in this specs? Also I am new to linux so if someone could provide me proper steps it would be really helpful. if redux will not work properly i am ok with the legacy version

I use Nvidia Overlay for brightness and contrast with effects to have more lighting in games. Windows is starting to be slowler. never happened before. Even if my OS it's optimized with some tweaks nothing works like it used to be. The other partition with Fedora, everything is working fine with no issues. I tried staying there for 1 week to see how the performance was going and it turns out windows was failing itself. So now, im switching to linux. The only problem is that i dont know any equivalent to Nvidia Overlay to have more lighting in games like i did on windows. ReShade could be an alternative but its banned in most online games. Does someone knows if there is something like Nvidia Overlay on Linux? Thanks.

I got an i5 8gen, mx 230 laptop i wanna use it for some light gaming and just a simple desktop to watch YouTube and download pirated game. What would be the best os i can use. I thought about bazzite but it seem to not provide driver for mx230.

(Im not sure if the flair is right) i wanted to play SAMP but not sure how to mod it. i downloaded the game from an "illegitimate source" so its not from steam do i just put the flies in?

Hello everyone, and hello to the guys who responded to my first post. Thank you, and I apologize for writing such a clumsy post; I was stressed. I have included a link to the previous post in this post.
PC specifications:

Model - Firebat A08

CPU - Ryzen 7 8745HS

GPU - AMD 780M

RAM - DDR5 5600MHz 8GBx2

SSD - 1TB Crucial

Here's the situation:

On January 17, I installed the Bazzite distribution, the installation process completed correctly, I rebooted the live system, and removed the live ISO media. After rebooting, I logged in as a user, launched Steam, and started downloading Guilty Gear Strive. I also installed vscode via bazaar and started downloading zephyr and setting up the workspace. I left the computer downloading Guilty Gear and the zephyr kernel for microcontrollers and went to bed.

This morning, January 18, I woke up and the first thing I did was check if everything had downloaded, only to find that the computer couldn't turn on the screen. I left it like that for 10 minutes, thinking that it was just frozen, which can happen, and hoped it would come back on by itself, and went to do my morning chores.

When I came back, I saw that the situation hadn't changed, so I forced it to shut down by holding down the power button. Then I pressed the power button.

When I turned it on, the power button lit up, the TDP switch button lit up, and I heard the fan start up. The screen flashed (the backlight turned on), but there was no image. Usually, the mini PC would first display its logo and then boot up the system.

What I've already done:

I rebooted several times, removed components one by one trying to get something to work, replaced the SSD in this PC with another one with Win11 installed. I changed the ports through which I connected the monitor, DP and HDMI. I disconnected and reconnected USB peripherals in different combinations. I rewritten the SSD that was originally in the PC and installed the proven Mint on it.

What I found out during this time:

The computer boots up, appears on the network, i.e., it is not bricked. The computer goes to sleep and responds when I press keys on the keyboard. It responds with a refusal on SSH.

Hi, is there a way to run the Logitech G-Hub software to run on my Bazzite? I would love to configure the rgb of my G915…

I’m currently in college and none of my consoles can connect to the Wi-Fi because they are not compatible with enterprise networks. I can’t use ethernet so I thought maybe this seemed debt could be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, but I’m not really sure how I could do it. Any help is appreciated.

i know that amd tends to work better on linux. i would like to know if it is worth it to get a full amd pc if i use linux, specifically cachyos

my pc history was a 1080 and intel i7-7700k for 5 years, and then a 4090 intel ultra 9 185h laptop for school, i would like to get a desktop again because i miss the desktop experience. i swapped to linux about 2 months ago and am most certainly never looking back. I would like to build a full tilt linux desktop, and i am consisdering whether i should go all into amd or go for something like a 5080 and an amd cpu, a 5090 is most likely off the table.

i was considering something like a ryzen 7 9800x3d (perhaps 9850x3d if it launches soon), and a 9070xt.

my main concern is going from dlss to fsr. as much as i dislike being like this, i get heavy pleasure from seeing high quality in games, and i know that factually fsr is is worse in quality compared to dlss 4, especially 4.5. would it be better to use an amd gpu on cachyos or an nvidia card? i'm most certainly set in stone when it comes to the ryzen 7 9800x3d (or 9850x3d).

Dear Youtube reviewers,

If you have never used a linux distro in your life, and are complaining about Windows 11, and moaning about the AI slop, please stop saying stuff like "Linux is fine as long as it's not used for gaming" because you sound just as bad as the AI slop you are complaining about, knowing nothing about the topic.... yet chiming in and spreading misinformation to the general public. Thanks (in reference to a channel called 'Adam Something' with 1.33M subs).

So I'm using original xbox contoller s series via wifi dongle with driver xone-dkms-git 0.5.0.r0.ge927feb-1.

It's detected system-wide and working correctly but not in wine or proton

If I enable SDL and disable hidraw and restart wine it's starting to work again

Problem is I have to do every time I change proton version I'm doing this through protontricks and it's a little bit annoying

I wonder if I have something misconfigured does anyone else has this problem? Can I force this settings via env variables?

I'm using arch (btw)

Hello guys, i need help. Installed bazzite on my pc yesterday (trying new shades of gaming), everything was ok, left it for the night to download couple things. This morning i see this shite. The screen is powered on, it has some signal from the pc, but, no image. Im sitting there for 30 minutes. While i was with linux mint (on other pc), and windows 11, there was none of that issue. Im not native so sorry if everything.

1. Setup vortex for linux either by following my guide or using NaK
2. Launch Skyrim at least once
3. Follow the rest of the official guide

5a. The last step from the guide about launching it through the tools section may not work, if so follow these steps

5b. Open Steam, +add a game (Bottom left corner) add a non steam game

5c. Locate SkyrimTogether.exe, if following this guide, located in "/home/$USER/games/steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data/SkyrimTogetherReborn/SkyrimTogether.exe"

5d. right click SkyrimTogether entry on steam, hit properties, shortcut and add this to launch option

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/" %command%

or if using modified install location

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/$USER/games/steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/" %command%

Could not have made this guide without this amazing video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fEO6UAJuXs

I’m on Fedora (Workstation) and trying to understand the current state of running Roblox on Linux. I’m aware there’s no official native Linux client and that most Wine/Lutris/Grapejuice approaches have been broken due to anti-cheat changes. Before I waste time experimenting, I wanted to ask:

Are there any working methods right now on Fedora (browser, VM, etc.)?

Has anyone had success recently with KVM/QEMU + Windows VM?

Is browser-based play the only realistic option at this point?

I’m not looking for hacks or shady workarounds — just trying to understand what’s realistically possible on a modern Fedora setup in 2025. Appreciate insights from anyone who’s tested this recently.

I'm trying to play Arc Raiders on Bazzite (fresh new install) and i can not get over 30. On window 10 (yes I know shut up) I was getting 60 to 100 easy. It seems like something is not using my full hardware capabilities. Is there a setting I have missed?

Specs:

5950x

3070

32 GB @ 4000MHz

Bazzite on nvme

Hytale runs like a well-oiled machine on Linux Mint. However, I currently have to open the terminal every time I want to boot the launcher for the game. Is there a way that I can have a shortcut on my desktop like the Minecraft launcher that can boot the flatpak? I’m relatively new to Linux so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
