How long before the Linux Kernel adds Support for the New Nintendo Switch 2 Controllers?
This is embarrassing: a solid 10+fps gain on CachyOS compared to a FRESH install of Windows.
To be fair though this was the first benchmark run on Windows, whereas CachyOS I’ve done a benchmark before. But still.
Idk why the performance gap is so huge. Is this the fault of Windows? Or AMD?

New Steam Games with Native Linux Clients, including Cyber Knights: FlashPoint and Kabuto Park - 2025-06-04 Edition
Company Of Heroes 3
Just moved from Windows to Fedora 42, have steam installed. But I just can't get Company of Heroes 3 to launch, I have tried the latest Proton 10.01 I think but you click play and it says running then nothing happens and after a few seconds it says play again.
Anyone managed to get it running?
ProtonDB says runs perfectly after tweaks but I can't see what those tweaks actually are

Rebind side buttons in Chinese mouse
I own a Attack Shark R1. Not a great mouse, but I love it. There is an app for rebinding side buttons in Windows, but I can't make it run in Linux, or it won't be able to change binds.
I've tried input-remapper, but it can't rebind my buttons. What software do you recommend? Thanks.

What is the best way to run games in 2025?
I have bought a laptop with Vulkan support and I installed Debian Trixie with LXQt on it. Now I have to install the stuff to play games.
On my old computer, which I had since 2012, I used to run wine using the command line. I had no helping tools and I didn't use sandboxing. It is the version of the distro repo. I had to make a symbolic link of ~/.wine to a proper partition.
Now after many years there are new resources, such as Bottles, firejail and Proton, but I'm not familiar with them. Many things have changed on the Linux world since 2018. I have to relearn everything because my experience is too dated.
What do you use nowadays? Do you still install wine manually?

Super noob question about Proton
I am getting into PC gaming and decided on using linux, because windows kinda sucks these days, and proton seems to work 80 percent of the time (source: ProtonDB). I want to know if proton has any setup (again, noob question), or if any settings need to be tweaked for it to work well.
Edit: I plan on using Pop!_OS. Just fyi.

PSA for fellow ZZZ players using Heroic Games Launcher and getting a Wine error with Proton-GE-Latest
The new ZZZ update is here, which of course means the Wine C++ errors under Proton-GE-Latest are back. Yay! 😅
Luckily, the game is still playable.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Download GE-Proton7-10 (using ProtonUp-Qt or whatever you use to manage your Proton versions), and use this version to update the launcher and pre-download the latest patch.
- Once that’s done, close the launcher and go to ZZZ settings → Advanced. Under "Select an alternative EXE to run", set it to launch ZenlessZoneZero.exe inside the prefix. For me, it’s located at: /mnt/Disk3/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Zenless Zone Zero/drive_c/ZenlessZoneZero Game/ZenlessZoneZero.exe
- Then, download GE-Proton9-27, use it to launch the game, and it should work now!
Hopefully this helps someone out.

Elden Ring Nightreign crashing
Anyone having issues with launching nightreign? I am running it on fedora and tried different proton versions but they all crash shortly after showing the easy anti-cheat splash screen. Just a white screen and the game stops, anyone experiencing something similar?

Choppy little spikes in frametime on Red Dead Redemption 1
Hello does anyone know why my frametime looks like this on my Linux Mint distro using Cinammon? I can feel the choppiness and mangohud confirms it. What are these little spikes? It doesn't happen on my Windows installation..
Compositing is already off for full screen apps and this is a fresh installation of linux mint

Issue with Ray Tracing on The Witcher 3
I have seen that in Windows there are two squares to the right of “Ultra+” containing RT settings, which I don't have. I don't know if it is a bug or that it is not yet implemented in linux.
I'm using proton experimental on Arch with an AMD gpu. The RADV_PERFTEST='rt' environment variable is enabled but it doesn't seem to work.
I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Retrobat alternative?
Hey all I'm running a cachyos desktop and installed emudeck set to the "Linux PC" during setup for a generic install but I'm having a myriad of issues with configuration, resolutions not changing, controllers not working. Is there any alternative on Linux to retrobat on windows? A more full emulation station install instead of barebones ES-DE? I know batocera is a thing but that would involve running a vm with passthrough or reimaging or waiting on someone to containerize it. All the lines I'm seeing seem to be only controllable via the steam deck with radial menus, so no as easy for controller use without the need of a supplemental keyboard/mouse to help facilitate navigation.

Elden ring not working with Gsync on Mint?
Specs: Acer Predator first gen 2k monitor with HW Gsync module. 3070ti 5800x3D
As per title. I have tried to run it, but while game is stuck on 60fps and occasionally dips to 40ies, the screen looks very choppy. On top of that I can see screen tearing.
I have gone through some settings and options, making sure that Gsync is enabled in Nvidia settings, and everything is set correctly.
I am only using Linux for about a 3rd day and literally just testing the waters to see if I can switch to it full time before win10 goes extinct.
The game works great, I am so far impressed with Linux in general on how well it runs and functions, but I am not willing to go without Gsync.
Any tips on how to make it work? I have watched some video last night about X11 and Wayland differences but I am not sure if that matters since cinnamon should be using X11?
I also heard that Gsync only works with fullscreen mode only, but no change after changing that settings.
Also heard that the other two screens must be disabled(I have three), so I did that through right click on desktop and disabled them in display setup, but that didn't help either(I'd also rather not do that going forward).
