Cyberpunk Locks Whole PC and Forces a Hard Reboot
Hello! Recently I installed arch linux again after being tired of windows. Every game is running great, except for Cyberpunk. After about 10-15 seconds of being loaded in, the game just crashes, I can alt tab for maybe a second, then everything stops responding, even my caps lock stops working, and with GOverlay it wont even launch.
I thought hmm maybe my gpu finally degraded after months of running it with a fully unlocked power limit and 6950xt level clocks and it running ~450w, until I tried other games and they ran perfectly. RE9 requiem with GOverlay having mangohud and optiscaler ran perfectly after the re framework update.
I’m just really confused as to why this is occuring. Anyone else have this issue?
Specs:
7800x3d, 6900xt, 64gb ddr5 6000, GE-proton-10.32

How To Fix User Namespaces Required When Downloading Steam
I'm trying to download steam following this guide; https://youtu.be/BLxgL6VxwFo?si=L9FxhjE8JzPeSgkN and everything goes well until I actually try running it, causing this error to pop up. I followed the link at the very bottom ( https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/user-namespace-requirements ) but I honestly am so confused and cannot understand it. Can anyone explain it in a way that's easier to understand?

Some GUI elements cause GPU load to increase from 50% to 85%. Why is this happening? Also, look at power consumption.

DXVK Not Working for Games Running Via Proton On Nvidia Hybrid GPU
I'm running the Steam Flatpak on Fedora 43 (Plasma Wayland) and I can't get Proton games to run on my primary Nvidia 3050TI GPU using DXVK. Games run by setting PROTON_USE_WINED3D or using my integrated Intel graphics, and native ones work fine.
The specific error depends on the game. For example, with Dark Souls III, I get swapchain creation errors, while Cuphead tells me to install DirectX drivers.
I have the latest version of the proprietary Nvidia driver and followed all of the configuration steps on RPMFusion. I've tried switching to X11 (LXQT), reinstalling my Steam library, and switching to the native Fedora package. Any ideas?

Genuinely losing my mind over input latency
Hey everyone. I'd just like to vent a bit of frustration more than anything I think. So if you don't want to listen to my ramblings, feel free to scroll right past this and I hope you have a beautiful day.
For the past month I've been attempted to switch over from Windows. Since I mostly use my PC for gaming and occasionally for light office type work and statistical analysis with R I figured that it shouldn't be too hard, given the ridiculous rate of advancements on the gaming front especially. So I've done a bit of distro hopping between Bazzite, Fedora and CachyOS. And one thing I found with all of them was that they felt oddly "buffered" and less responsive compared to Windows, even just the cursor on the desktop. It's especially bad in games where (using a controller) turning the camera genuinely feels like dragging it through molasses whereas it responds precisely and snappy on windows.
So I've tried all sorts of things from making sure that tearing is allowed in fullscreen applications to disabling v-sync everywhere, trying out different protons, enabling Wayland via proton, using gamescope instead, trying different methods of enforcing frame caps as well as disabling them, disabling KWin tripple buffering in the env, messing with network and bluetooth configs, changing the dxvk presentation mode, comapring VRR vs fixed refresh rate, trying out every controller I have lying around, trying out different bluetooth cards and dongles, honestly, what haven't I tried?
But each time the result would feel exactly the same, slow, rubbery, delayed. And each time I would lose a bit more of my sanity. I am genuinely out of ideas for things to try but as things currently are on my PC I would rather move back to windows than play games like this. And this is the incredibly frustrating part, I don't want to move back to windows. For everything BUT gaming, I've been having an absolute blast on Linux. I would genuinely like to be able to finally wipe that Windows SSD instead of constantly having to click "ask me in 2 days" whenever Microslop ask me if I don't want to make a Microsoft account and uninstall random bloatware after every other update - but unfortunately I can't.
Context variables:
System: RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 9600X, 32GB RAM, Asus B650 Plus, 2160p 120Hz VRR display; Distros: Bazzite, Fedora, CachyOS (always as up to date as possible)
Games tested (because those were the ones I happened to have installed): CP2077, Silent Hill f, Yakuza 5, Hell is Us, Lies of P, Ghost of Tsushima, Still Wakes the Deep, Metal Gear Solid V, Expedition 33
That's the end of my rant, I just wanted to get that out there because I feel like people on similar systems are having a great time on linux and somehow mine seems to be cursed or something, I don't know.
Anyway, if you're still here, thank you for sitting through all that, I hope you have a wonderful day, cheers~

Is there a port of Minecraft Legacy for Linux?
The source code for Minecraft Legacy on PS3 has just been leaked, and I know there's already a port for Windows, but I don't know if there's one for Linux yet, lol.

Overwatch CPU problem
I reinstalled overwatch again today for the first time on my linux pc. I started it up and found that it ran perfectly, but not on the right account.
After i linked my old battle.net account to my steam account, the game just started maxxing out my CPU usage and having lag spikes and freeze frames.
Is anybody else having the same issue or knows how to fix this or what's causing this?

Resident Evil Village will freeze after a few minutes of playing and will not recover.
I've just gotten out of the castle and I'm in the village trying to play more but after a few minutes of playing, particularly in the section after you input the code and get the M1911, the game will just randomly freeze and I'm forced to close it, even steam itself sometimes might be frozen and still think the game is open, and when you hover over steam it's like you're hovering over the game with the audio still present.
I'm using an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU on CachyOS with the latest driver. A search online did lead me to another Reddit post on this subreddit from 2 years ago but without a clear solution. The freezing was attributed to a bug with nvidia drivers but I doubt it's still present after 2 years. Should I perhaps try changing to another proton version in the compatibility settings on Steam? Has anyone solved this issue?

Is it possible to get true full screen on Linux x11?
All the games i played on x11 Openbox do the same thing, alt tabbing is instant, whether im playing on fullscreen or fullscreen windowed it behaves practically the same. so far i tested Half Life, CSGO, UT2004, Kovaak, and Roblox (Sober). The only one that behaves different is Ut2004, alt tabbing turns off the monitor if i run the game at a resolution different from the desktop, but all the other games alt tab instantly.
How can i achive true fullscreen? Since it reduces input latency, thanks in advance

Low FPS until monitor turn off and on
So I noticed a weird thing. Sometimes when playing 3D games I get really low FPS (my GPU is usually well above the requirements) until I turn my monitor off and then on, which then suddenly brings the FPS to what I expect (e.g. ~25FPS -> 144FPS (Monitor Hz) in Horizon: Zero Dawn).
It's really not a big issue, takes 5s to fix, but I was wondering if anyone knows what could cause this.
If you need some HW info, AMD CPU and GPU (5600G (disabled iGPU in BIOS) and RX6700), 16GB RAM, but I doubt it has to do with it... Distro is openSUSE: Tumbleweed, am using GE-Proton (10-32)... Monitor is AOC 24G2U with DP cable...
