Solution - Popping/stutter Audio - Keep-Audio-Awake
Howdy,
Hope y'all are doing well, on my legion desktop I had issues in Linux(and windows actually) of the audio would pop a few times or stutter and then play fine, once it was playing I had zero issues, to address this I now have a program in C that I've put on github, the source code is there as is the compiled binary
Intel 14thgen and nvidia 4080 super in case it matters.
I'm running this on CachyOS, however I see no reason it wouldn't run on Ubuntu or other Arch/Debian based distros, never really done a project like this. I hope it helps.
the TLDR is the C program is keeping the audio streaming the whole time even when not in use.

Have a good evening.

Sober crashes anytime I launch any game (or experience).
It displays this little notification here even though you can clearly see I don't have any instances of the game running, Ive tried reinstalling it, but that didn't work, anyone know a fix?

The NVIDIA Linux Tax is shrinking on the 595 Beta. Finally seeing ~99% GPU usage in Cyberpunk 2077.
Hey everyone, just continuing some of my benchmarking on the new NVIDIA 595.45 Beta drivers using an RTX 5080 and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D on CachyOS.
The biggest takeaway for me isn't just the FPS—it’s the utilization. Before this driver/Proton-CachyOS combo, my 5080 would often hover around 85% usage in Cyberpunk 2077 (even with Path Tracing off) and honestly all the other games I played, suggesting a bottleneck in the DX12-to-Vulkan translation.
With the 595 Beta and the VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap in my steam launch command, I’m finally seeing a consistent 98-99% GPU load.

The launcher itself works fine, it's just when i actually try to join a game. What should i do?

Consistent issues in games since switching to Linux.
My issues are generally kind if odd. They differ from game to game, but one consistent issue is when my cursor effectively "runs out of space" and stops. In many games I play it is not an issue, however in games such as FPSs it tends to be fairly game breaking. Sometimes it is solved by Alt-Tabbing a few times but not always.
Another issue I have is with this game, Grey Zone Warfare. It's particularly game breaking. It is the video included below. \
I am on PopOS 24.04 LTS

I was tired of clunky Windows-style installers on Linux, so I wrote a 10k LOC installer engine in Rust.
Hi everyone,
For the past few months, I’ve been working on Repack2Linux (R2L). It’s a project born out of frustration with how we handle game installations outside of Steam.
I wanted something that feels native, looks premium, and doesn't eat 500MB of RAM just to show a "Next" button.
Key Tech Specs:
• Language: 100% Rust
• Ul: Iced (Custom engine with dynamic color extraction from game icons).
• Performance: 22MB binary size, almost instant startup.
• Automation: It exports games into standalone .sh installers with integrated Wine/Proton prefixes and desktop entries.
It's still a work in progress, but it can already process 40GB of game data in about 10 minutes. The goal is to show that Linux tools can be faster, lighter, and better-looking than anything on Windows.
I'm looking for feedback from the community!

Just installed Cachy Os
Still Trying to get Max Payne to run on Linux (Cachy was recommended), it install fine, but trying to load it has some errors, some about Vulkan and NVidia drivers, which I have a gtx 2070, It's failing to install and recognize my 2070, any ideas what could be wrong? I am fairly new to Linux but been using duck.ai to kinda guide me or lead me in the right direction, but all the suggestions it suggests are not working and the installs of the vulkan drivers and NVidia drivers are failing, same with dkms (i believe thats what it is called.)

Steam Won’t Recognize Existing NTFS Library
Hey folks,
I’m dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu 24.0424.04 on my gaming PC with an Nvidia GPU, and I’ve been trying to get Steam to recognize my existing game libraries on my NTFS drives.
At first, my drives were mounting inconsistently after boot, which caused Steam to forget the library paths. I fixed that by setting up /etc/fstab, and now I have three NTFS partitions mounting reliably at:
- /mnt/games-ssd1 — 688G688G, games/data
- /mnt/games-ssd2 — 233G233G, games
- /mnt/data-hdd — 931G931G, data
They’re all mounted with read/write and execute permissions, and this became stable after disabling Windows Fast Startup.
The problem is Steam itself. When I go to Storage and try + Add Drive / Add Library Folder, then select something like /mnt/games-ssd1/SteamLibrary, Steam just does nothing. No error message, no confirmation — the window closes and the folder isn’t added. It also won’t detect or add any NTFS library under /mnt, and none of the installed Windows games appear in Steam on Ubuntu except for the default library in my home folder.
What I’ve already tried:
- Symlinks
- Editing config.vdf
- steam --reset
- Reinstalling the native apt version after purging the snap version
Still no luck. Steam launches fine, Proton is available, but it refuses to add these existing libraries.
Has anyone run into this with Steam on Ubuntu 24.0424.04 and NTFS drives? Is this a Steam limitation, a permissions issue, or something specific to NTFS library folders on Linux?

Need help... Cyberpunk 2077 freezes after a few minutes (audio continues)
Hi !
I'm trying to run Cyberpunk 2077 through Heroic Launcher on Linux, but the game consistently freezes after about 15 minutes of gameplay.
The game runs perfectly at first at a stable 45-60 fps, then the video freezes while the audio keeps playing. No crashes to desktop, it just hangs until I kill it.
Other DX12 games run perfectly fine on the same system (e.g. The Witcher 3, Elden Ring and Clair Obscur), so this seems specific to Cyberpunk.
From the logs and dmesg, it looks like the crash is happening during VKD3D / Vulkan memory allocation, returning:
- VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
- DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
- NVRM: NV_ERR_NO_MEMORY
Monitoring VRAM usage on my second monitor with nvidia-smi however never shows more than 5.8 G of VRAM being used at any time and no spike in usage before the freezes neither.
System informationDistro: CachyOS (Arch-based)

any body having problem rebuilding akmods nvidia driver after updating to latest kernel 6.19.3-200.fc43.x86_64 for fedora 43
When I open a game through proton, if the game lags it just cuts out.
I'm trying to play Terraria, and when I join worlds there's usually a lag spike initially, and when the game dips below 10 fps the audio just cuts out entirely. I want this to stop happening.

Anyone use the Redragon M908 RGB mouse and able to rebind the side buttons?
The ONLY real issue I've had with Linux is rebinding side buttons on mice. I've tried: Piper, Solaar, and Input Remapper. I've tried a Corsair mouse, a Razer Naga mouse and a Logitech mouse. The above software only ever "sees" a couple of buttons.
I was able to get 3 side buttons working on my old Razer Naga mouse, and it just DIED😭. I stole my hubby's Razer Naga and tried rebinding the side buttons with Input Remapper and that programme doesnt see the buttons. I ran xinput to try to ping the side buttons and the side buttons just aren't being read.
My hubby probably wants his mouse back so I did a little bit of research on a new mouse. Does anyone here have any experience with this mouse? Redragon M908 RGB mouse.
And please tell me I'll be able to BIND THESE KEYS!!!
Thank you for any help.

I can't toggle HDR on in games, but it works everywhere else. (I think?)
I'm running CachyOS with KDE plasma (wayland) and I have HDR enabled on the Monitors and in the system settings.
Hardware:
CPU - (950X3d)
GPU - (RTX 5080 Astral OC)
MOTHERBOARD - (X870e Aorus Xtreme X3d Ai Top)

low gpu usage while gaming on KDE plasma
Basically the title, my gpu is extremely under utilized in some games under kde, some games work worse and others better, the screenshot is taken from re9, in some areas it runs under 30%, in other it suddenly goes to 90%~, when I play helldivers 2 the gpu utilization is all over the place, mostly under 50%.
This is not a bottleneck since I don't have this issue on xfce4, this is also not an x11/wayland's fault since I've had the same results with both, I have an amd gpu and an intel cpu if that's relevant.
