Title, I installed bazzite on my laptop (i5 10th, 1650, 16 gb ram, 144hz screen) a few days ago and still learning, I have mostly of my games running fine, I was reading about gamescope and isn't fully compatible with Nvidia but tried on a few and looks like it works but I'm not sure if worth on every game or not.

edit: 144hz lol

Hi everyone,

I've seen a loot of weird misconceptions and I would like to address two most common misconceptions which are forms of:

- anticheat software only requires enablement for linux,

- Linux is a scapegoat

Explaining the first one, this only applies to Easy anticheat and Battle Eye anticheat, only on steam and its not a click and its instantly applied, when enabled it will be implemented by an automation to the game build.
all other anicheats will require proper implementation by the developer of the anicheat and may simply be not in the intrest of developers to spend time on this.

Lets go to the second one

Linux is not a scapegoat, and developers not decide to not enable EAC/BEAC out of pure spite. both of those softwares work on a kernel level on windows, on linux those work only in userspace.

why this matters?

cause its way simpler to make it look as if game was running under proton, than develop cheat software that workarounds kernel level protecton. it is more complicated to do that for native linux build but it's still easier than fighting with kernel anticheat.

so any game that enables linux support for BEAC or EAC opens easy gateway for cheats especially if we take into account games that run under proton.

Hey everyone, Just need to vent a bit because I’m honestly frustrated.

I’ve been using Windows for the past year with my RTX 4090, and recently I decided to give Fedora KDE Plasma a serious try — the goal was to have a clean dual-purpose setup for work and gaming.

At first, I was blown away. Super smooth, virtual desktops felt amazing compared to Windows, and everything was just nice. I was ready to build my full setup around it.

But then… day 3 hits, and things start falling apart. I’m getting horrible visual artifacts when switching desktops, and even in apps like Steam. After some digging, I realized it all started when I changed my wallpaper to a solid color. Seriously? That’s all it took to break things?

So now I’m stuck wondering: — Is this a known issue? I keep reading that Nvidia support on Wayland is “good now” — is it just me? — Maybe Fedora KDE isn’t the best combo? Would Arch + KDE behave better here? — Or am I seriously gonna have to go back to Windows 11 with its awful virtual desktop system?

If anyone out there has a stable 4090 + Wayland setup, I’d love to hear about it. Right now I’m feeling a bit lost.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for posting again on this subreddit, but I’m a bit of a newbie and need some help.

I’m facing a pretty annoying issue with Bazzite. Whenever I move my mouse quickly in one direction or sprint fast in a game, I get noticeable stuttering. It’s especially obvious in CS2 and really ruins the experience, even though the game is supposed to be native on GNU/Linux.
Also, I saw on this GitHub post that gamemode has been replaced by a better alternative: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/777

Just to clarify that I don’t have gamemoderun %command% as launch options. Honestly, I really don’t want to switch back to Windows.

Here’s my setup:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (16) @ 5.58 GHz
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance 5600MHz
• Monitors: 2x 1080p 144Hz (I know my RX is overkill)
• DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.2
• Kernel: Linux 6.15.6-103.bazzite.fc42.x86_64
• Compositor: KWin (Wayland)

Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what might be causing it? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

ok so i use my linux mint as my main system and so far everything worked great and i could play games and everything, but now i installed some updates (just the ones in the update manager) restarted my pc and now warthunder only works with a few frames per second(like 1 or 2), my gpu runs perfectly fine (i did a benchmark and it was detected and everything) so the only thing i could imagine is that warthunder doesn't detect the gpu for some reason and runs on cpu only. does anyone know what do to? thanks

So, I got that whole civ6 with dlcs deal from epic games and downloaded it with heroic launcher. Problems start already here. If I try to run it with wine, it doesnt detect mouse. Proton is an obvious fix, but if I try to switch in settings for the game to use proton instead of wine it doesnt start. When I press play it launches, but nothing shows up and then it just stops. So I tried adding it to steam and using proton on there. It started and got to main menu, but it then says "the age associated with this link 2k account does not meet the legal age requirements" so I cant play multiplayer which is my main concern. I tried searching it up, but all the fixes are for windows. It says about not having special characters in your nickname (which I dont have on steam neither on epic games) or game path (which didnt fix it either), but it still doesnt work. I use arch btw for context if thats any help. Any help would be appriciated.

Hi all,

I played Cyberpunk for ~20 hours with not a single issue for a couple of weeks, but ever since the recent 2.3 update, the game freezes at random: could be after half an hour of playing the game, one hour or two hours; but one thing is certain: it will freeze. Only thing that helps is shutting Steam down.

Does anyone else experience this issue?

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
• GPU: 2080 TI
• OS: Fedora 42 KDE plasma

Hey everyone,

I've been daily driving Linux Mint (Cinnamon) for a little over 3 months now, after a year or so of distro hopping. It's been a solid experience overall, and most of my gaming happens through Steam with Proton, which has worked great for a lot of titles.

That said, I'm at the point where I want to optimize my setup even further and make sure I'm keeping up with the latest stuff being released, especially with things evolving so fast these days so I want to ask:

What else can I be doing to get the best possible experience out of Linux gaming? Any tools, tweaks, or drivers you would reccomend? I'm not looking to switch Distros, necessarily, I'm pretty comfortable with Mint.

Some context:

• GPU: Nvidia GTX 3090 (I know Nvidia can be rough on Linux)
• Distro: Linux Mint 21.x, Cinnamon DE
• Kernel/Drivers: On latest Mint kernel with proprietary Nvidia drivers from the Driver Manager
• Gaming Method: Mostly Steam + Proton (GE-Proton when needed, although I think Im using an older version)

I'm not looking to switch to Windows or dual-boot or anything, just trying to squeeze the best experience out of Linux. Would love advice on:

• Should I be using Gamemode, MangoHud, or something like vkBasalt?
• Any benefit to switching from X11 to Wayland, especially with Nvidia (if supported)?
• General performance tips for big GPUs like the 3090 on Linux?

Would love to hear what other long-time Linux gamers are doing. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Removed markdown tags lol, I dont post on reddit a lot and thought I could do that

Hey everyone,

I’m running Fedora 42 (Bazzite) with a Ryzen 7 7700X and a 7900XTX.
When I play demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, my CPU temperature easily spikes up to 96°C, which feels way hotter than what I was used to on Windows.

What I’ve learned so far:

Linux doesn’t apply power limits by default

The CPU starts thermal throttling around 95–100°C, which can hurt performance (obviously)

I’ve already installed ryzenadj and can manually apply Eco Mode (--ppt-limit=65000, etc.)

What I want to do:

Automatically switch to Eco Mode when CPU temp goes above 94°C, and return to Stock Mode when it drops below 90°C — to prevent thermal throttling while still maintaining good performance when temps allow.

Is there a Linux alternative to Ryzen Master that allows temp-based profiles?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Howdy folks.

I am a software developer. I use endeavor os at work with kde. I absolutely adore Linux for software development.

At home i use win 11. At home it's care about gaming. The one reason I havent switched was because of gaming.

I play games like factorio, CS2, League of legends. WOW, EFT.

Is the state of linux gaming in a ready state for me to say goodbye to win 11

When I start Ready or Not with gamescope I have two mouse cursors, One is the game cursor and on top the system one. I tried the -C option of gamescope but this doesn't seem to work.

This game is driving me crazy. I try to install assetto corsa on my fedora 42 PC for three days multiple hours a day. Without success. I dont think that I can achieve this without help. I did many many reinstalls and even tried to reinstall proton. Now, I cant even get the base game to launch. It either does a silent crash or just doesn't launch at all. I followed nearly every guide that I could find; everyone did it another way, but nothing works. No matter what, i dont even get errors that i could work with. I now followed this tutorial https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gZvP_aLAB9a4HkvloZtZt7K6lwYccPKf9N542kbazQc/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0 and noticed some potential problems. Nothing from these commands installs without some really big problems. It has a lot of errors with wine64

So i removed everything regarding wine and installed it again with "sudo dnf install protontricks". That installs with the error "Scriptlet output:
>>> /usr/bin/wine64 has not been configured as an alternative for wine"

Has all of this wine not being installed in the right way something to do with assetto corsa making so much trouble?
The guide that im now using (https://github.com/sihawido/assettocorsa-linux-setup) doesnt say anything about a specific wine version. But this all seems a bit suspicious to me.
And the just following the guide doesnt work for me.

Can someone please help? Give some tips, or (if one has the time) even help me troubleshoot what the hell is wrong with my system?

Sitenote: I already had assetto corsa running on this machine about a year ago, then i had steam via flatpak, now its installed via the fedora repos. There it was also a pain to install, but it worked. I then switched to native steam and assetto corsa is broken

Does anybody know the best way to remap the Razer Naga Classic buttons? it's not supported by openrazer but it has onboard memory so I got a Windows VM to set it up but it's not being recognized by the VM even after getting the extended tools pack for virtualbox and trying various USB setting and making up a manual filter for it. I have no access to a Windows machine atm. I'm using endeavourOS.

So, on ProtonDB I have found a Few tips about how to run Once Human, Editing .Config files and using Proton-GE, but all of that is about perfomance, I have a different problem, My game just freezes and then it crashes after a few seconds on the map, And if I try to let the game pre-cache the shaders, the whole PC freezes while doing it until It turns off completelly or restarts.

Happens on Proton Experimental or GE.
Everything is updated.
Game is set on 1080p Lowest Settings.
I'm running Arch Linux.
Specs: Ryzen 5 3600x, 64GB 3200, RX 7600. Game is running on a M.2 NvME.

I installed Sober about a week ago using the Software manager. It worked fine. No issues.

Now when I try to open it, it freezes for a second, then it logs me out of my user account. Not the game, the actual operating system. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app from the Software Manager but it didn't work. It just crashes my system again.

Does anyone know why it's doing this and how I can fix it? I am using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinamon. Kernel version 6.8.0-63-generic
