Significantly lower FPS for most games in Linux than Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 19:23

I have ~15 fps difference between games on Windows and in my EndeavourOS. I use latest ProtonGE, drivers, gamemode, and gamescope. I am on Wayland but I don’t see any difference in X11, likely because of gamescope.

I am pretty sure this just an Nvidia issue but aside from changing kernels I have tried everything I can to close the gap. I use the flatpak for Heroic Games launcher to play the games along with the gamescope and gamemode integration.

I do suspect my gamescope is maybe not working correctly, but again I did not see any difference between playing in X11 vs Wayland. Any tips? I am out of ideas I don’t think even changing kernels will even close that much of a gap.

Lutris freezing with WineTricks

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 19:20

Hey everyone, finally make the change from Windows to Linux, I initially installed Garuda and got everything up and working on steam and Lutris, I then felt confident enough to try another distro that wasn't as bloated and a visual eyesore like Garuda, so went with EndevourOS.

So far everything has been good, steam works, however I cant seem to be able to launch winetricks through Lutris to install dependencies.

Things I have tried:

-Running with Lutris Runtime disabled.

-Moving the winetricks folder in the game config to another location/drive.

I seem to be able to launch WineTricks through the terminal, but as soon as I use Lutris as click on WineTricks with the arrow the app will freeze until I have to terminate it.

Is there a way to fix this, or perhaps a workaround where I can manually install the dependencies and then point Lutris to the folder?

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Bye SamRewritten, Hello SamRewritten!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 19:10

After many unmaintained years, I'm excited to announce the reboot of the SamRewritten project!

SamRewritten, a powerful Steam Achievement Manager, is now fully available for both Linux and Windows.

This updated version features a modernized interface and allows you to easily unlock and relock achievements, edit game statistics, and access a range of other useful functionalities.

SamRewritten is 100% open-source and available to download now!

The legacy version of SamRewritten is still available at SamRewritten-legacy.

For all the nerds, this version means:

  • A rewrite from scratch in Rust
  • GTK4, and Adwaita!
  • A better, more refined build system and support for different Linux distributions
  • New bugs to discover

Thanks to Phillip for being a big help in the project and making it possible. If you like SamRewritten, feel free to leave a star, this means a lot to us!

Let us know what you think of this release here, or directly on GitHub!

Stick with Mint or move to Fedora (4080 Super)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 18:49

Hi All!

I am on the following setup:

Ryzen7 7800x3d

Nvidia 4080 SUPER

Linux Mint with Cinnamon and Kernel 6.8.0-60

I have seen that Mint is not great for gaming on linux, but i havent had super great experience with normal usage on Arch or Arch-based distros like CachyOS or EndeavorOS. I always end up getting werid graphical artifacts on wayland, but I know that x11 also has apparrantlya bunch of security issues and its outdated and not maintained. I have never tried Fedora before but I dont want to switch if im not really gaining anything of substance.

Do you think for my setup that swapping from linux mint to fedora would be worth it? If so, why or why not?

Steam web helper process going crazy on the cpu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 18:00

I wonder if I can block it, that thing is eating up to 1 full core of cpu time at times.

It gets recreated whenever I kill it.

Why is Subnautica so glitchy?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 17:39

I'm getting weird glitches all over Subnautica.

This is just one example. There's also weird rectangles on walls when shining a light on them that disappear as you get closer, Level geometry unloading on Aurora, and some artifacts around creatures, glitching fast, can't describe it.

Here's the rest of the examples:

There's other glitches that i didn't bother to record.

I've played Subnautica on Linux before, i've never seen this. I have some mods, but mostly QoL stuff and such, and i played with mods before, it wasn't glitchy. I also tried multiple Proton versions, they all behave the same.

Some other games i tried aren't glitchy either.

CachyOS, Plasma Wayland.

Are there any CPU coolers with screens that can be customized on Linux? Is it also possible physically swap out the screen and replace it without touching the actual cooler?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 17:29

I currently have a THCC Thermalright cpu cooler. The led screen it comes with can be customized with its app on Windows. However, I recently moved over to Linux, where the CPU screen cannot be customized or displayed (not without a virtual machine being left on, which would take up more power and heat).

While I'm not obsessing over this, I am curious about CPU cooler screens being customizable on Linux. Are there any out there?

Is it also possible to physically swap out the screen whilst leaving the actual cooler alone?

SteamApi_Init() failed.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Juni 2025 - 16:18

I encountered this issue while using this build with WOW64 enabled. I now strongly suspect that WOW64 is the cause. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?

The symptoms of this issue include: the game repeatedly trying to launch Steam even though Steam is already running; in-game DLCs being marked as not owned; and the game failing to launch with errors like SteamAPI_Init() failed appearing in the game logs.
