Switching away from Windows 11
I'm looking for suggestions on what distros would be best for primarily gaming, but I also do a lot of editing (Adobe Suite, Phitoshop and Premiere Pro primarily). If it matters, my rig info is below:
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Nvidia RTX 3080 32 GB RAM Dual internal SSDs One external SSD
Also prefer to play controller based rather than keyboard/mouse if that makes any difference.
I've used Arch and Mint in the past but I don't think either is great for gaming.

WineHQ only for Windows games on Linux?
I want to keep my system as clean as possible and trying to avoid launchers and frontends. The only frontend I use is RetroArch for retro games. Is it possible to use WineHQ only without Lutris or Bottles to run Windows games?

Wabbajack On Linux Video Guide
Hey all, I made a video for getting wabbajack working on linux through wine and installing modlists currently working on OpenSUSE and ARCH. Comment if it's working on some other distros. So it also seems like you need Staging 9.16 Wine to make it work I tested it on ubuntu and fedora and it worked just had to wait a bit.

External monitor on laptop doesn't work(KDE Wayland)
Hello,
After reading that drivers 560 should be finally fixed for crashes and freezes of the system, I've decided to come back to my Linux system. I'm using Lenovo g16 with i9 13900k, rtx 4060 and two 60hz monitors connected to the dock and one 144hz directly to hdmi on the laptop. System is cachyos (I've tried various arch-based distros with the same result), with KDE. On x11 session, my external monitor connected directly to hdmi port works flawlessly, except for the refresh rate(despite setting 144hz, I still get 60hz). On Wayland on the other hand, the 144hz monitor is not working. No matter what refresh rate or resolution I set. There seems to be no difference in that matter whether I use closed or open driver. Tried the nvidia-drm.modeset stuff - story ends the same. Ist there any way to get this setup working under Wayland?
Cheers

Ryujinx Unplayably Slow on Ubuntu
I have Ryujinx installed on my new Ubuntu partition and loaded up SSBU, but as soon as I booted up the game, it slowed down to an unplayable 11fps dipping down to 6 when I move my controller. I have updated all my graphics drivers, am running Vulkan, and have a GTX 1660 SUPER with a pretty decent system. I have Ryujinx running fine on my Windows partition, but I wanted to try it on Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong?

Graphical Issue with Big Picture Mode
Hello, I use steam on Arch Linux running KDE on Wayland with the nvidia 560 drivers.
When I launch the native steam (installed through pacman) in big picture mode there are graphical issues (Desktop Showing instead of black bars) when bringing up the overlay menu as shown below
Had to take the photo with my phone because it doesn't appear in screenshots well.
This doesn't happen in the flatpak version of steam though and it looks fine in it as shown below.
you might say why not just use the flatpak then the problem is it doesn't launch non-steam games.

Mouse sometimes duplicates scroll input or ignores it with item selection.
For some reason, whenever I scroll with my mouse, it sometimes skips the input or duplicates it. This causes the game to either not go to the next item/weapon twice or not do it at all.
I especially notice it in Minecraft. If I scroll the the item on the hotbar, it sometimes ignores the input or goes ahead two spots.
What can I do to fix this?
In case this is relevant, the mouse I am using is a Logitech G502 Lightspeed.

Xbox wired controller not working if plugged in at boot
There's a small annoyance with my otherwise flawless Linux gaming setup and the Xbox controller that I can't seem to fix, so I'll try asking here since I guess many others use this controller in a Linux environment.
I use a Xbox Wireless controller but it's wired 99% of the time with a USB-C cable. However, if the controller is already connected to a USB port when the system boots, the LED on the front stays off and the controller is not recognized by the system. To make it work I have to unplug and plug it back in, and then everything works like a charm. It's nothing major but I'd like to know it it's possible to avoid the unplug-replug thing and why this is happening.
I'm using Arch if it's relevant, do I maybe have to manually load a kernel module at boot time?

Best wine version for Lutris ?
I'm trying to figure out what's the wine version that gives the best performance with lutris. So far I found out that the latest Wine-GE-Proton works the best. But I wish I could use something more recent than this because I might lack features in the future using this version, since it's not updated anymore. UMU is supposed to allow you to use proton inside lutris, but it gives me slightly lower performance using proton-experimental. When I select latest GE-Proton it gives me a good performance though, but for some reason frame generation is not working properly. Here's a comparison of what I tested in Ghost of Tsushima :
Wine-GE-Proton : No Frame Gen => 75 fps ; With Frame Gen => 150 fps
Proton-Experimental (using umu) : No Frame Gen => 70 fps ; With Frame Gen => 140 fps
Latest GE-Proton (using umu) : No Frame Gen => 85 fps ; With Frame Gen => 110 fps
System is i5-13600KF / RTX 4080 / Ubuntu 24.04 with liquorix kernel
According to this, the best performance comes from Wine-GE-Proton with frame generation enabled. Why is frame generation on Latest GE-Proton not giving a significant boost compared to other versions ? Also for some reason, frame generation in Proton-experimental and GE-Proton feels a bit sluggish, it isn't as smooth as it is using Wine-GE-Proton. Is it related to umu ?
Anyway just wanted to discuss about it, and see what are you guys using with lutris.

TF2 refuses to launch and keeps breaking my system | Linux Mint 22
I installed LInux Mint 22 two days ago and I love it: I run all the games I play trough steam and amongst all of them TF2 appears to be the only problematic one. Team Fortress 2 started off fine but since yesterday I noticed more and more instability. I'm willing to try anything short of reinstalling the entire game because I have bad internet.
To be more technical, Sometimes after launching the window flickers and I get a Vulkan 64bit error.
The other annoying thing is that even IF the game launches correctly, my framerate drops significantly to what feels like 30, making the game unplayable, and this persists even after closing the game and lasts until I manually reset the refresh rate in settings.

VN game me and my friend made, where you are Lenin trying to win over your childhood friend Stalin, and as a linux user (arch btw), of course it has support to linux !! 20%OFF now
New to steam on Linux, and games take a long time to load or they do nothing.
So the title says it all I think.
My PC has 3 drives (this will make sense later).
An M2 that was partitioned in two. One part has Linux Mint, the other windows 11. Of course each OS partitions it's host drive, so they have more than 2 partitions now.
A mechanical 1TB which we can ignore, but was formated for windows and is like a shared drive.
A solid state 1TB which is set up as above.
Steam is installed on my M2 partition that holds Linux. The steam library is on my 1TB SSD.
At first the game I had installed (Kingdoms of Amalor Re Reckoning) would load fairly fast, but crash when trying to load a game.
I set up a link span (I think that's right) to a folder on my Linux partition.
Now my game loads very slowly, but does work occasionally. Most of the time I click to run the game, the button on steam turns blue and says Cancel, and does nothing.
I installed a test game to the same drive steam is on and it was fine. Loaded quickly and ran fine.
I installed a second game to my 1TB SSD and it takes forever to load, if it even loads at all.
What could the issue be?

Has anyone managed to find out an actual reason for no specter divide support, except for fear of Tux and Wildebeest
From my perspective the developers of Specter Divide are just being annoying by not supporting proton/wine when from what I know all they need to do is request proton support , and it would be greatly appreciated if you help me find out whether or not this is the case.
I have researched Specter Divide's anti-cheat and all i could find is that they "use a combination of BattlEye and proprietary systems" but i have no idea if this "proprietary system" is kernel level ,as i think that i would be possible to theoretically use wine if it isn't , thus not being a reason for no GNU/Linux support as the community can make the game work if the devs allow it.
Mountaintop CEO and Co founder Nate Michell stating that "Steam Deck is a concern as a cheating vector" is bull***t as "making Wine and Proton calls translate properly is difficult enough. Even if you wanted to start injecting packets and packet sniffing all that interpretation is much more fragile than on Windows. It would be much easier to cheat on the native platform that through interpretation layers that would add additional lag to calls and make it more obvious " - credit . aka Linux users != cheaters
Therefore I would like to find out the actual reason for reason for no specter divide support.
*If u don't like specter divide that's alright but stop complaining about temu valorant etc..
*It might be a little unethical but lemme know if i know about any specter divide cheats , as the developers will understand the anti-cheat
