Hey !

I have freshly installed CachyOS on my battlestation to start gaming on Linux. I had already installed it on an old laptop to get used to KDE plasma etc... everything good so far !

However, i have some weird slow moments and quick freezes that should happen during basic office task (open settings, open steam, transfer files etc...). I didnt try gaming so far. It's also a bit slow to boot, even if it got better after some reboots.

I have installed on a freshly installed Curcial P310 SSD 2To fully dedicated to Linux. I have installed gaming packages, new drivers etc...

My specs are :

• CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
• GPU : AMD Radeon RX 9070
• MB : MSI B650 Tomahawk
• RAM : Corsair Vengeance 32Gb DDR5

Also, it seems a bit slow to download and/or install games (Maybe its my impression, its not a wifi issue as i have 200Mb/s download on Win10). Maybe i missed some crucial tweaks or drivers ? Thanks a lot for your help :)

Hi everyone!

I’ve seen several people struggling to run Disco Elysium on older Linux hardware — but my case is a bit different. I actually managed to get the game running, though I’m facing a weird issue related to highlighting interactive objects.

In Disco Elysium, when you press TAB or right mouse button, the game normally highlights interactable objects (e.g., outlines them). But on my setup, nothing gets highlighted.

I’ve learned that this effect is likely part of post-processing / outline rendering — which seems to be broken or disabled for me.

I found a file:
Settings.json at:
SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/632470/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/SUN Studio/Disco Elysium/Settings/

There’s a line:
"highlightToggle": false
Changing it to true doesn't help — it resets to false every time the game starts.

Now the game only launches if I run:
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus steam steam://rungameid/632470 (Previously, it worked even with i965, but now that fails) with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in steam, but post-processing didn’t work.

My system info:
OS: Manjaro Linux (64-bit)

Kernel: 6.12.19-1-MANJARO

CPU: Intel Core i3-3110M @ 2.40GHz

GPU: Intel HD 4000 (IVB GT2)

GPU Driver: Mesa 25.0.1-arch1.2

RAM: 8 GB

Proton Version: UMU Proton, tried GE

Any help would be super appreciated — I’ve come this far and would love to fix this last piece. Thank you in advance! :3

No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads.
Performance will be affected.

It appears too frequently, I always need to do:

sudo setcap 'CAP_SYS_NICE=eip' $(which gamescope)

It is really annoying!

I just moved into a new (to me) home and am planning on turning the downstairs basement into a theater room. I’m in the middle of research now, and I came across YouTube videos about bazzite and its ability to run steam, old school emulators, and streaming apps. To me that sounds like a simple solution to run everything from one device instead of buying multiple things to switch between. I’ve never ran a Linux OS before and was wondering your experience with it. Also, will the streaming apps be compatible with an Atmos receiver from a pc? Thanks for any input!!

My question is pretty much the title, IIRC tekken 8 had some issues with crossplay until you edited the /etc/hosts file and was wondering if there were any issues with crossplay on SF6 since I'm thinking about buying it.

I downloaded Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead from the official Arch repository and I was going to add a sound pack so the game isn't silent, but I'm unable to edit the folder it's in. It auto installed to /usr/share/cataclysm-dda and both that folder and the sound folder inside of it have a lock icon that says "This folder is not writable for you." when I hover over it. What do I need to do to those folders to add a sound pack?

Edit: I should mention that besides updating my system, I rarely use the terminal.

Hi all!

Just wanted to pipe in. After years of watching this space, I've finally started making the switch to Linux (Pop!_OS).

I've always liked the prospects of what Linux offered, just always been hesitant from the gaming perspective.

My current set up is a Dual Boot with 2 discrete drives. One for Windows 11, one for Pop! OS. I've got 4 additional drives for storage, 2 are for windows still, with the other 2 formated for Linux. Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 33GB DDR 5 RAM, RTX 4070 12GB.

I'll likely format another windows drive over to Linux eventually. Keeping one windows drive for annoying anticheat games.

So far my experience has been great with games, but I've noticed that my audio on my wired 3.5 desktop speakers tends to crackle with the onboard audio, but not using my Steele Series headset. So gotta sort that out. aAso getting my stream deck recognized has been a bit of a challenge as I learn the ins and outs of Linux.

I look forward to being here, and welcome any advice or tips being new to Linux!

1. Terminal> ds4drv Install it if not available. Let it scanning for device.
2. Enter PS4 pairing mode. (Share + PS button) Connect PS4 through bluetooth.
3. ds4drv should detect the device, then you are almost done. Open steam --> Settings --> Controller --> Test Inputs
4. If pressing controller button does not get response, close ds4drv (ctrl+c), remove paired PS4 controller, restart 1~3.

It works from my side. Works for non-official PS4 controller as well.

I'm in the process of moving to Linux on my gaming machine.

Given the fact that Bungie seems to want nothing to do with linux, I wanted to ask you guys if you've had any issues with running Destiny in a virtual machine? I've been using it fairly regularly over the last week and it all seems to work fine but I am a little concerned I'm going to get hit with the ban hammer at some stage.
