Hello everyone!

About a month ago I bought myself a new Logitech G102 LIGHTSYNC mouse (in case the model matters), configured it in the Piper utility at 800 DPI and 1000 Hz polling rate — that's all I changed. In CS2 I set the in-game sensitivity to 1.42.

The first few days with the new mouse felt great — it was much better than my old one. There was a pleasant sense of "weight" to it, and I could easily place my crosshair precisely on enemy heads.

But after 3 days everything changed: a kind of "lightness" appeared, as if the mouse sensitivity had been increased — even though I hadn't changed anything. Because of this, it became harder to aim at enemy heads and harder to hold my crosshair steady (what I mean is that every micro-movement would throw off my aim, which hadn't happened before). I tried lowering the in-game sensitivity to 0.90, but it didn't help — the "lightness" didn't go away, and the mouse just became even harder to control overall.

I tried looking into this with an AI, but didn't get any useful advice. Maybe someone here has experienced something similar?

My system specs (if relevant):

• CPU: i5-11400F
• GPU: RX 6600
• RAM: DDR4 2×8 GB
• OS: Arch Linux
• Kernel: 6.18.9-1-cachyos-bore
• DE: GNOME 49
• VRR: enabled

My CS2 launch options: __GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1 SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland LD_PRELOAD="" SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SCALING=0 MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG="gpucoreclock,gpumemclock,cpumhz,gpu_load,gpu_temp,gpu_core_clock,gpu_mem_clock" %command%

Throughout all of this I haven't changed anything — no hardware, no DE changes — only software updates.

I've been replaying the Mass Effect trilogy the last few weeks, went to launch my game today, and got a launch loop I've experienced once before, where the game will launch, sometimes bring up the "preparing game..." screen, briefly actually begins running, and then stops. For the record, I own the Legendary Edition on Steam, and I operate on Manjaro.
Last time, some combination of deleting the Steam app id folder, restarting steam, launching the game again, going back into the newly created app id folder and launching the EADesktop.exe to login fixed the issue and I could play normally. Now, when I go to try and do that same thing, I wind up in an update loop, as the EA app tries to go from 13.616... to 13.646... Has anyone else had this problem before, and if so, how did you fix it?

Long-time Windows user here. I recently made the jump to Linux gaming and I have to say – I'm genuinely shocked by how capable Linux is compared to Windows, and how limited Windows feels in retrospect. I started on Bazzite, which was a great introduction, but I quickly hit walls because of its atomic/immutable nature. Things like installing custom kernel drivers were basically impossible. So I switched to CachyOS with KDE Plasma and haven't looked back.

Here's what I dealt with in just the first few days:

My motherboard's fan controller chip (nct6687) wasn't being loaded by the kernel. I had to figure out the exact module name, blacklist a conflicting module, and configure DKMS to load it permanently at boot.

USB audio adapter issues where ALSA was muted at the system level and PipeWire wasn't routing audio correctly.

Bluetooth headphones conflicting with USB audio devices depending on plug-in order.

LibreOffice ignoring display scaling on Wayland – fixed with a one-line workaround in custom .desktop files.

Setting up custom fan curves with CoolerControl.

Writing my own Fish shell scripts for package management across pacman, paru (AUR), and Flatpak.

If something doesn't work on Windows, you either wait for uodates or just accept it. On Linux, you fix it yourself. On CachyOS I was able to load custom kernel modules, blacklist conflicting drivers, write udev rules that automatically fix audio when I plug in a device, and customize literally everything. Windows is basically a black box that treats you like you can't be trusted with your own hardware.

And gaming? Proton has made this a complete non-issue. Almost everything runs perfectly, sometimes better than on Windows thanks to Vulkan.

I want to be honest – I'm a complete Linux noob. What made this transition actually manageable was using AI (Claude) as a companion throughout the process. Instead of spending hours on forums trying to piece together solutions, I could describe my exact problem and work through it step by step. It's not that Linux is harder than Windows – it's that Linux gives you MORE to work with. And with AI helping you understand what you're doing, the learning curve is much more approachable than it used to be.

TL;DR Switched from Windows to CachyOS, dealt with things that would have been impossible on Windows, had an absolute blast learning everything along the way, and I'm never going back. Anyone on the fence – just do it.

Would transitions like this make you, as a player, want to find out more about what happened? Or is it just confusing?

(Obligatory self promotion: the demo for Deluge: Raintime is featured in NEXT Fest this week. It's available on Linux and Steam Deck. Please play it.)

I want to play Geometry Dash, but i'm being capped to 60hz by my compositor, and disabling it doesnt seem to help. Can I get gamescope on mint as a linux noob or should I just switch to bazzite?

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing annoying black flickering while playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on my Arch Linux setup. The flicker is more noticeable when FPS are lower and seems to stabilize when I get closer to my monitor's 180Hz limit.

Crucial detail: When I record the gameplay using Steam's built-in recorder, the flickering does not show up in the video. The recording looks perfect, which leads me to believe it's a display/sync issue rather than a rendering bug.

My Specs:

• OS: Arch Linux
• Kernel: 6.18.9-zen1-2-zen
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
• Mesa: 1:25.3.5-1
• DE: Plasma 6.6.0 (Wayland)
• Proton: 10.0-3
• Monitor: ASUS TUF IPS 180Hz (Connected via DisplayPort)

What I've already tried (with no success):

• Disabling Adaptive Sync (VRR) in KDE settings.
• Use different versions of Proton-GE.
• Launch options: RADV_DEBUG=noasynccs, AMD_DEBUG=nongg, KWIN_DRM_NO_DIRECT_SCANOUT=1.
• Lowering refresh rate to 144Hz.

Hi,

I was playing RE2 (remake) and randomly crashed in one location, thought nothing of it, restarted the game and just went back there again, but it happend again and again.

I tried disabling raytracing, HDR, restarting the PC, updating everything, but nothing seems to work.

I'm playing on Steam (not flatpak), tried on Proton Experimental, Proton 10 and Proton 9, neither worked.

When the crash happens, my game freezes, every app freezes, apps in the background crash, and after a few seconds my screen turns black for 2-3 seconds and then everything goes back to normal, except the game is no longer running, and I get a few notifications from KDE about all the apps crashing.

Didn't have a single problem while playing RE2 previously, just when I got to this single location (sewers, Bottom Waterway), and every time it crashes it's +-5 meters in the exact same location, no problems anywhere else.

System info

Distro - Fedora 43 (KDE Plasma)

Kernel - Linux 6.18.12-200.fc43.x86_64

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

GPU - AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

GPU Driver - amdgpu

Wayland

Mesa version - 25.3.5

Proton logs - https://pastebin.com/RnpM87sj

inxi -xxACGS - https://pastebin.com/6pmTqB7T

Every time it crashed with these same errors no matter what settings I tried so far

Tried running steam in terminal, got no valuable info

(only this: XIO: fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0" after 280 requests (279 known processed) with 0 events remaining.)

Tried as many things as I could think of or find online and probably crashed 10+ times so far, I'd be extremely thankful if someone knows, thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm posting here because i really appreciate your insight, and i am a linux novice.

I'm experiencing a sound lag/glitch while running some games (Freedom Planet 2 specifically). I looked online, and found out the cause could be the sound buffer.

So i increased PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC to 90, and then 100
At first, the sound improved drastically, and i thought the issue was solved, but after some minutes it began gradually lagging and glitching, until i was back to square one

I also realized that, while the game is open, ALL sounds in my system glitch and lag as well, and only return to normal once i close the game.

How can i fix it? And also, i'm curious to see how this works, so i'd love to read a detailed explanation to why this happens in the first place, any resource or article and such would be greatly appreciated!

After playing the game for a while (often after being tabbed out for a while) Overwaych starts stuttering when i move my mouse. The game is going from 400 fps to what feels like 30 without dropping in actual rendered frames on both the steam overlay and overwatch fps overlay.

Since im using a 360 Hz screen its quite jarring seeing it going from that high to that low and impacts my gameplay. the only way to currently temporarily fix it is restarting my computer fully. Restarting overwatch doesn't do anything at all.

Current launch options: gamemoderun LD_PRELOAD=”” %command%

Thanks for any ideas!

Hello,

I have used Faugus with success during a long time last month to play Battle.net games. Stopped playing for a while. Now I come back no launcher is able to start.

Starting Faugus launcher via terminal I can see the following error :

Failed to match 'Proton-GE Latest' with a container runtime /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:1867: Warning: ../glib/gmain.c:6116: waitid(pid:2358, pidfd=20) failed: Aucun processus enfant (10). See documentation of g_child_watch_source_new() for possible causes. return _Gtk_main(*args, **kwargs)

What I tried:

• Changing the proton version with no success.
• Installed a specific version via ProtonUp QT. Faugus Launcher detects it but I still see the above error.

Has anybody experienced the same thing ?

Faugus version : 1.14.3-1 Flatpak version. Flatpak update detects no update to do.
Distro: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Thanks in advance.

I’m using bazzite with an nvidia 4070 when I was using windows I only had to make a slight change in the ini file and 76 ran great on high settings I’ve since switched and tried doing the same changes as well as adding a custom ini file as well as using low settings and putting all distance sliders all the way down but the gps are all over the place going from 30-120.

Write this in your launch options if the game is not working properly (crash or dead sound)

SDL_RELAX_AUDIO_CONSTRAINTS=1 SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=iris LC_ALL=C %command% /gldevice:OpenGL /glprofile:compatibility

Tested in intel celeron n4100 uhd 600, hope this help

Okay, so a brief background. My gaming PC has been Windows-based forever. I'm migrating to Linux Mint because vibe coding and AI bull is killing their OS. So piece by piece I'm moving my workflow to the Linux partition in a dual-boot. Eventually want to wipe the Windows partition and be done with them. Still pretty new at Linux but trying to learn.

My desktop has several hard drives, and I had a separate NVMe drive for just steam apps. It contained the Windows versions of the Steam downloads, but I formatted it and am now trying to tell the Linux version of Steam to put a library on that drive so I can migrate Linux/proton versions of games off my Linux boot volume.

Because I've also been moving Plex media out of Windows Storage Spaces to individual hard drives, I've learned how to mount the volumes with fstab in the /mnt directory instead of having them mounted as user media. All the drives that aren't the Linux/Windows boot drive are formatted EXFAT. I figured that would make the transition between OSes easier, while bypassing some of the permissions complications in linux.

My problem is this. I can see the drive mounted in /mnt/steam like I configured in fstab. Steam can see the folder too. In Steam's Storage Settings panel, I point to that folder and click select, which should add the folder as a separate steam library. But it never gets added to the library list in Steam. No error message, the list just continues to contain the existing library and no others.

I understand that having the flatpak version of Steam can cause this. I looked in Mint Software Manager and it appears to be a "system package" so I think that means "not a flatpak".

Currently, my default steam library is located in /home/[username]/.steam/debian-installation/. Is the issue because that directory and /mnt/steam would technically be in the same tree structure? Like in windows I couldn't have a steam library in C:\steam and C:\windows\steam.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying hard to get comfortable in my new Linux home LOL.
