Games underutilize resources
I've changed thermal paste and updated my system(Fedora 43) and now this happens. Temps stay within normal, cpu works properly, but steam incorrectly shows my gpu stats, even tho before this everything was OK.
I had a similar issue when i by accident left my laptop on "power saver"

Are people getting banned for playing Genshin on Linux via Wine?
Hey everyone. I am about to officially make the switch from Windows to Linux. Mihoyo games are straight up the only hurdle I have, as it's not officially supported on Linux. I know it can be supported via Wine. Mihoyo's anti-cheat software isn't compatible with this, and so, it carries the risk of a ban.
Just wanted a 2026 update if there are any real cases of players who weren't tampering with the game's mechanics, that got banned for playing Genshin on Linux. I'd really hate to resort to mobile only or a dual boot for a single game. Thank you!

ARC Raiders FPS Limiting
Hi, I'm trying to cap my fps in ARC Raiders to 60 during my entire play session. For some reason, the fps is capped to 60 for a few minutes when i launch the game. However, after some time the fps randomly gets uncapped and shoots up. I'm using hyprland on CachyOS.
Here's my pc specs:
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H (20) @ 5.00 GHz
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Max-Q / Mobile [Discrete]
GPU 2: Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.50 GHz [Integrated]
I'm currently using these launch options:
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 gamescope -w 1920 -h 1200 -r 60 -b --cursor=confine --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

Age of Wonders 4 started crashing
Hi folks,
I'm on EndeavourOS and have almost 90 hours in AoW4, so I played it a while without problems. After buying Giant Kings DLC (which may jut be coincidence) the game started crashing after some while. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Actually it seems to crash the whole AMD driver. The keyboard is responsive, but the screen shows the game with colored dots all over and I need to restart the system.
I run the game with Heroic Games Launcher (GOG), tested switching to Proton GE-Protn-latest, WINE-GE-latest and WINE default from GE-Proton-26, no change, except the launcher crashing before even starting the game. I enable Enable WINE Wayland, which at least removed the crash report of the launcher crashing (even though the game started). No avail.
Within the game I tried exclusive Window mode and borderless mode, enable driver fix (found that one on ProtonDB) and still, after some turns the game gets unresponsive for some time (this tells me to save and quit now) and if I continue the described crash happens.
EndeacourOS, AMD Ryzen 3700X, AMD Radeon 5700X, game on GOG launched with Heroic Games Launcher.
If anyone has some pointers I would be grateful, as it used to work. Can't tell if it was some system update of the system or the game that caused it and would like to continue playing.

Deep Rock d3dd11 error
Pretty new to Linux. Using a toshiba satellite p55w c5210 4k with a Mobile intel hd graphics 5500.
Trying to run Deep Rock and I get the d3dd11 compatible GPU error. After a quick google I think I might be just about the minimum requirements to run it at the lowest possible settings. But I am not sure how to fix the error. Is this even fixable or is the computer just not strong enough. Thanks for any help you can offer. Rock and Stone!

In 2025, Mesa received over 15,500 commits from 336 developers adding more than 1 million lines of code, with Valve and AMD contributors (led by Samuel Pitoiset on RADV) dominating the activity, though overall contributions are down from previous years.
have question about 9000 amd series gpus
im looking into buying a amd 9070 i was just wondering how well they are supported underneath linux if i use a rolling distro like arch or cachy os

Warframe blanks out the screen intermittently
OS: Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.17.13-200.fc42.x86_64 Packages: 2861 (rpm), 29 (flatpak) Display (BenQ GL2250H): 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz in 22" [External] DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.4 WM: KWin (Wayland) WM Theme: Breeze CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 (8) @ 4.00 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 [Discrete] Memory: 3.71 GiB / 15.54 GiB (24%)
Things I have tried with no succes:- Different Proton versions including GE and stock
- HDMI instead of DVI
- Gamma and saturation inside the game.
- Removing all launch options inside steam
The monitor once brought up an error message saying "out of range" while blanking out.
According to Mangohud I apparently use Wayland. I have run Linux mint before on this very computer and had no issue with the same game.
Only happens in Warframe, seemingly with scenes rich in effects or with a bright highlight.

Flatpak Cemu can't access gyro and rumble on 8BitDo Ultimate 2 in DInput mode
Hello everyone! I have recently bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 gamepad to replace my DualShock 4.
This gamepad has three modes: XInput, DInput and Switch mode, in which the gamepad emulates a Switch Pro controller.
I prefer to use the DInput mode, as it enables all features of the gamepad (gyro and additional buttons).
Hovewer, on my Fedora Workstation 42 system, the gyro and rumble did not work out of the box. I had to add these udev rules to fix this:
```
2.4GHz/DongleKERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6012", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
BluetoothKERNEL=="hidraw", KERNELS=="2DC8:6012*", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess" ```
But even after adding the udev rules, Flatpak Cemu still cannot access the gyro and rumble on my new gamepad when it's in DInput mode. (In Switch mode, everything works. On DualShock 4 everything also worked perfectly)
Cemu already has permission to access all files (filesystem=host) and devices (device=all).
Perhaps the issue is that Flatpak Cemu still can't access the udev rules, despite the filesystem=host permission?
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Has anyone gotten Linux to recognize the ZD O+ Excellence controller?
I'm running steam on Ubuntu 25.10 and nothing happens when I plug in the ZD O+ Excellence controller. Is this a known issue? Is there some way of getting it to work?
Thanks!

Games lagging
Wuthering wave strange input problem on Linux (Steam)
I have this peculiar issue with Wuthering Waves, the game runs, but mouse UI doesn't work, if i put the game on my wacom monitor and enable touch i can interact with the menu using the touch feature and if i use my mouse and cursor and click it will interact exactly where i touched the screen last even tho the cursor is somewhere else.
Tried plugging in my Xbox controller and inputs do not work, if i press the Xbox logo i get steam overlay so the controller itself does work, on other games it has no problems.
I tried on Hyprland and KDE and the problem is the same, tried with gamescope but no luck there either, on Nobara 43.
The game runs flawlessly other than that, i can turn my camera with the mouse do attacks and such, i can use my keyboard to move without any issue, just getting into menus i can't do anything with my mouse.

Sell Rtx 4080 for rx 9070xt?
How much is the linux experience going to be with amd gpu? I know i would have better HWA with all browser. witch nvidia only have with firefox based browser. I know you could pick the color bit rate with amd but not with nvidia. I know the performance loss is not the same, Amd suffers bearly 5% give or take but nvidia losses around 20% on linux, So is selling the rtx 4080 for 3000sar and buying the rx 9700xt for 2700sar worth it ? And i also wanna enjoy the console like session(steam deck gamescope session) that know works better with amd and fine with nvidia as long as i stay at 2k. And how is the hdmi 2.1 support for amd mess driver ?
One more thing i use rtx video hdr alot on windows and found an alternative on linux that works with mpv well it work with amd gpues ?
I mean sorry for the messy post my mind is in a mess and i cant make my mind

Controller not working on clair obscure
Hello!
I recently switched from windows 10 to Pop_os and everything is working smoothy but for some reason when I try to play Clair Obscure with my ps5 controller It just doesn't work, I even tried using steam input but it didn't help.
In all the other games I have tried it worked flawlessly with or without steam input.
I'm using proton 9 and and nvidia RTX3060.
What could I try to solve the problem? Thanks!

Games run better on Linux than on Windows
I get about 15-30 fps more using Linux. Games that i tested are not natively supported by linux. Indiana Jones and Metaphor:Refantazio as examples.
Indiana Jones on Windows without frame gen i get 40-45 fps. On linux without frame gen i get 56-70 fps.
Metaphor Refantazio on Windows 40-55 fps. On linux 70-100 fps.
I suspect such increase is due to higher CPU and RAM usage on Wndows.
My distro: CachyOS Laptop: Legion 5 Pro with RTX 3070 mobile RAM: 16 GB
