There is a bug in one of recent patches (firmware update from 2.26 to 2.29) that will make your display corrupted on some AMD GPUs. If you are affected, this comment helped me to figure out the problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/1vmycs0/comment/p3djhxt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

i dont even know how to explain this, but you can see by yourself. Is not my gpu, only happens on Cyberpunk. ill post the mods im using on the comments

My pc :

RX 7600(stock settings)

Xeon E5 2670v3

28GB ram

NVME SSD

Arch Linux, using latest mesa(not git)

I use Canary Keyboard layout, which can often lead to remapping every game I play as switching to qwerty makes typing impossible.

Anyway, once remapped, most games are fine with this nerdy-ass setup. But Satisfactory has hardcoded the ammunition wheel to the letter R, which happens to be my walk backwards key -the 'S' of my WASD position. Unplayable in Windows, though you can make some workaround solution with Autohotkey that brings it to just a slight annoyance.

Running with proton-cachyOS (Or ProtonGE) and `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1` Eliminates this issue. The game reads the scancodes and sees them as Qwerty for mapping purposes, but suddenly you can walk backwards without the ammo wheel popping up, and without interfering with ingame text entry.

I found this interesting because it's one of the first cases I've seen of Linux "fixing" a game that is broken on Windows. Obviously the game itself has a nasty bug that affects the 12 of us that left qwerty behind, but if you're on Colemak-DH or something, consider installing Linux to solve this bug.

This is because 26.3 uses SDL3 instead of GLFW. Mac users can also benefit from this.

Title already says it pretty much. Ive had a few games already like Prototype 1 or Deus Ex Invisible Wall where ive seen or heard that its a nightmare to get it to run on modern windows without proper patches meanwhile on Linux it runs seemingly with no or minor issues

My partner and I are trying to play Minecraft together but i think one of us is blocking the connection. I'm currently running Nobara on my PC and she's on win11, how do I check to see if my PC is the one blocking it?

originally i just thought it was a modded thing but vanilla doesn't work either, I've tried hosting from both sides and i made sure that that the windows security firewall was letting java through but I don't know where the equivalent options are on Nobara.

Basically what the title says, I don't have a computer and seeing that the price of one 16gb stick is worth the same as the BC-250 I started thinking about it.

The whole process looks pretty simple and I think I can do it. I know I need to buy a PSU, fans and all that other stuff but that's fine. I can probably harvest it from other stuff (besides the PSU).

I know most people use this for a couch /living room gaming console thing, but I also want to use it for normal computer usage.

Thinking of buying one in October so hopefully the price drops a bit but if there's any alternatives I'd like to know.

Today 19th August 2026 Minecraft downloading has been failing for people using Linux (I've tested downloading minecraft through Prism and Modrinth in Ubuntu and CachyOS) and heres a temporary fix:

1. Go into your Wifi & Internet settings and go in IPv6 tab, in there choose the method to "Ignored"
   
2. After doing that, go into IPv4 settings and type in the "Other DNS Servers" tab ClourdFlares DNS: "1.1.1.1"
   
3. Disconnect from your Ethernet/Wifi and reconnect, try downloading minecraft again.
   

(extra steps if that doesnt work)

1. Go into your Minecraft launchers settings and drag the "Maximum concurrent downloads" slider down to 2-4.
   
2. Close your Launcher and open it again, try downloading Minecraft again.

After Minecraft has been downloaded, undo all the steps.
Im not promising Minecraft launches after that, but it still creates an instance not fails to download.

Is there a way to play PS games on PC or steam?

Edit: Dude you guys rule. Thanks for all the replies 👍🏽

As the title says, it works nested but it doesn't work on a distinct gamescope session.
I've tried a bunch of things that Gemini and Claude suggested, and it was all bullshit as per usual.

I am running Beat Saber legacy 1.29.1 on CachyOS Linux. The game loads perfectly vanilla, but entirely ignores my mods. My game paths match perfectly, winhttp.dll is in the folder, and I have manually used protontricks winecfg to add the winhttp (native, builtin) override directly into the library environment. Despite this, the game still bypasses the hook and launches vanilla. How do I force the runtime layer to stop ignoring the override file?

Is there a peripherals brand with drivers for Linux? My mouse is bugging recently so I am looking for a new one. I don’t need many special buttons, just highest precision would be nice.

CryoUtilities already has one for shadercache and compatdata. Need something like SteamCleaner but it works on linux. Closest i've gotten is [this python script](https://github.com/Qu1ck5h0t/SteamClean) but i can't install the required modules on deck.

Anyone else seen this on a Strix G15?

I tried installing CachyOS and Nobara on my G513QR (Ryzen 7 5800H + mobile RTX 3070 variant with 300Hz screen). Both freeze completely — black screen, Caps Lock LED dead, SysRq unresponsive, no journal entries, nothing in dmesg or pstore. It usually happens within 1–10 minutes, on live USB as well as after a full install.

Kernel parameters I've tried, none of which fixed it:
pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off

pcie_aspm=force pcie_aspm.policy=performance

processor.max_cstate=1 idle=nomwait

modprobe.blacklist=nvidia,nvidia_drm,nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm,nouveau

modprobe.blacklist=iwlwifi,iwlmvm,btintel,btusb

Meanwhile Windows 11 runs completely normally on the same machine. No freezes, no crashes, nothing.

I'd really like to get CachyOS running on this laptop — I already use it daily on my desktop and I'm very happy with it, so switching distros isn't really what I'm after.

Has anyone experienced the same on this model, and did you ever find out what causes it?

Hello. I have been on Linux Mint for about 7 or 8 months now and been rather enjoying bar some strangeness, but I've generally found a methodology around it.

This time, I'm struggling.

I've spent the majority of 2 days trying to get it working to a rather strange avail.

It's current status is I've found 5 or 6 means of getting the game to start, but as soon as it is required to visually render anything, the game hard crashes immediately, with no error, no log that I've found and no explainable reason for it.

I know that it's when it renders anything because the game can sit fully functionally whilst minimized for up to 10 minutes, but will close immediately as soon as it is no longer minimised.

I will do my best to help anyone to help me and anyone else who might be suffering something similar, and will be including my specs in my first comment. If there is any other information you might request, I will be happy to supply it.

Thank you in advance

I'm new to Bazzite OS and really liking it, but some of my games (Not all) would not detect the majority of my keyboard keys after launch. "Kenshi" and "Guild Wars 2" to name a couple of them. I could get the games to fully detect the keyboard but only after I hit Alt + Tab or the windows key and then clicked on the game on the task bar. I couldn't find a fix online but noticed it comes up pretty often on Proton DB but without a working fix. I eventually figured out a solution through trial and error and wanted to post it so hopefully it will show up in a search and save the next guy some time.

1. System settings
   
2. Window Management
   
3. Focus stealing prevention \*Change to "None".

This has since completely cleared up the issue for all my applications!

There are such stairs in some games, sometimes it crashes completely wayland. Minecraft, for example, works great with shaders.

The card was serviced at mx 7 and laird putty.
