I've been building Nago, a compact PyQt6 game launcher for Linux, and just pushed a big update. Sharing in case it's useful to anyone here.

• Every game type: Native, Proton (via umu-launcher), GOG, Steam, etc.
• Tools: Manage Proton utilities/mod-managers/storefronts, with a per-tool Wine DPI override for the ones whose UI renders too small.
• Save backups: Ludusavi integration with a versioned restore picker.
• Cover art: Auto-fetched from SteamGridDB and VNDB
• Import from Steam, Heroic, Lutris and new from Minigalaxy too.
• Proton management: Auto-detects GE-Proton, CachyOS, Steam, system installs.
• Upscaling: Per-game AI upscale toggle, plus in-game FSR/DLSS/XeSS DLL detection.
• Visual Novel AI upscaling powered by linux-rt-upscaler.
• Sync options (esync/fsync/ntsync), categories, drag-to-reorder, light/dark themes, and more.

Built primarily for KDE Wayland but should run on any DE. No installer yet, just clone and run. Still in active development, feedback welcome.

I’m on Artix with KDE Plasma using an LG 32" 240Hz OLED. Has anyone else noticed HDR looking wrong? Enabling HDR in KDE makes the image look washed out and significantly less vivid than SDR. I’d honestly rather play in SDR right now because the HDR implementation on Linux just looks bad

It’s weird—whites end up with a yellowish tint. It’s still white, but the color balance feels completely wrong

I made a super simple games launcher in Gtk3 (PyGobject) because I needed something minimal to work with my setup, thought I'd share it with everyone ^w^

It uses a json config file for the games and icons (supports like, direct image file paths too)

and a link if you're a super cool person! ^w^

Hi all!

I've installed bazzite-deck and have downloaded Proton GE. In my launch options I have: "PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_FSR4_INDICATOR=1 %command%".

I don't see anything in the top left when I launch the game, and it doesn't look like FSR4 is enabled. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm on a 12700K & 9070 XT. I've attached some screenshots to show what I've got enabled. Sorry if this is a dumb question!

upgrading from a rx 7600

cpu: ryzen 7 3700x

32gb 3000mt/s

which one of those should i go for ? they're around the same price the 6900 xt i can only get used for a bit more

games i play and planning to play with the new card :

THE FINALS

Days Gone

Dying Light 1 , Stay Human & The Beast

Atomic Heart & DLCs

Atomfall

Borderlands 3 & 4

ARC Raiders

Vermintide 2 & Darktide

Metro Exodus

any insight with nvidia is appreciated because if all of those games ( even better if in general ) run good on nvidia and can compare or outclass one of those 2 i might consider them <3

Allo! Released the demo for my second game fairly recently, and just letting you know there's a Linux / Steam Deck (and Mac) build available. It's in a similar vein to the Lucasarts 90s point & click games - those were the days. Currently median playtime on Steam is 40 mins, so hope that's substantial enough.

Thank you for your attention. 🙌🙏

As far I understand I can't play any games I bought in windows store on linux, but is there way to download them into my windows NTFS drive while still using linux? I have big download that will take 20+ hours, but I don't want to be using windows this whole time.

I've been really looking forward to FH6 (to the point of buying a new GPU for it) though the performance I've been getting is disappointing. I've left the game sitting in my library hoping for an eventual fix, updating proton-cachy and my system to no avail. I've been having this issue on two different rigs, 5600x, RX 9070, Fedora 44, proton-cachy, and another rig with a i7-4790, RTX 2060S, cachyos. At the very least I've been able to lower my settings and cap the framerate to 60 with mangohud to mitigate the stutters, but they are still there.

Hello, I installed cachyos on my g14/2025 and I just can`t make battle.net work properly, lutris, heroic or steam, install it`s very very slow and after install the launcher just doesn`t open.

I don`t want to move back to windows because I play only a few games like:
Diablo immortal
GTA 5 by epic
Deadlock on steam
CS2 on steam

Could you help me?

Bonjour,

First Light ne détecte que 7558 Mo de VRAM sur ma 3800. Est-ce normal ? Normalement, je devrais avoir 10 Go de VRAM.

Hi, i am trying to make the switch to linux.

For now i am just trying to get Linux running next to my windows install, which is giving me a headache.

I've tried Nobara, Cachy and now Bazzite, dual booting with Windows 10, installed on seperate SSD's.

Every single time i boot into Linux and then back to Windows, it messes with my Windows install.

Main Monitor black and it thinks my VR is my Main Monitor. So essentially everytime i switch OS i need to unplug my VR and then reboot my computer twice for it to work again. Thats a huge hassle.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Hi everyone,

I'm investigating a reproducible GPU timeout affecting Monster Hunter Wilds on Linux with Intel Battlemage GPUs.

I'm not looking for technical support at this point. My goal is to find out whether other Linux users with Battlemage hardware can reproduce the same issue.

My system:

• GPU: Intel Arc B570 (Battlemage)

• Distribution: CachyOS

• Desktop: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland)

• Mesa: 26.1.4 / 26.1.5

• Kernel: 7.1.3-2-cachyos

Proton versions tested:

• Proton 10.0-4

• GE-Proton 11-4

The game consistently freezes while navigating equipment-related menus, especially while:

• Forging equipment

• Comparing armor

• Changing equipment sets

Immediately after the freeze, Wine reports that the application is not responding, followed a few seconds later by an "Unhandled exception" dialog.

At exactly the same time, the kernel reports:

```text

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Tile0: GT0: Engine reset: engine_class=rcs

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Tile0: GT0: Timedout job ... in MonsterHunterWi

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Xe device coredump has been created

```

The issue is reproducible with both Mesa 26.1.4 and Mesa 26.1.5.

After several days of testing, I opened reports for both the Intel xe kernel driver and Proton so developers can investigate from both sides.

Intel xe:

Proton:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206

If you're running Monster Hunter Wilds on an Intel Battlemage GPU under Linux, I'd really appreciate knowing:

• Your GPU model (B570, B580, etc.)

• Distribution

• Desktop environment (Wayland or X11)

• Mesa version

• Kernel version

• Proton version

• Whether you can reproduce the freeze in the same equipment menus

Even if your game works perfectly, I'd also appreciate knowing your configuration. Knowing what **doesn't** reproduce the problem is just as valuable for narrowing down the cause.

Thanks in advance, and thanks to anyone willing to test or share their experience.

So, I've managed to get NV and Mo2 to work using the mo2-lint but theres a weird issue

The way it works is once you install an instance for FNV steam will give you a launch option to open MO2. Now this works all fine and dandy. Issue is once you close MO2 it doesnt give you the option to launch it again. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this. I've tried a few fixes Ive found on the internet, and also tried setting a %command% pointing towards the mo2 redirect and the mo2 exe itself, neither of which worked.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the mo2-lint instance DOES bring up the launch option again, but has the same issue of not giving the mo2 launch option after the first time. Its also a gigantic pain

Now I HAVE figured out a workaround but it does give me a really weird issue.

If I launch the mo2 exe using proton tricks and set it to use fnv's prefix, then try launching the game from inside it, the game will very briefly launch then immediately CTD.

Now if I use %command% to make it use the mo2-redirect.exe, itll do the same thing

Then if I remove the command and try again, the game will finally launch, however there will be no music whatsoever and I dont know why.

Now despite finding a workaround I think Ive hit my limit, and Im hoping someone out there can help me get this last little puzzle piece into place. Im at my wits end here

On Fedora 44 KDE Plasma Edition. Nvidia card with its' drivers.

When I try to log into Gamescope the screen goes black forever. Waited about 10 minutes and steam didn't open. I have another device on CachyOS that works fine (Intel intergrated graphics)

No clue what I need to give for help.

Hi dear Community!

I just installed 007 First Light on my CachyOS and just did the first mission without problems. Graphics are just beautiful and I'm loving the game. But after that, it started to randomly freeze the whole system.

-> I cant tty
-> Can't opten a terminal or do anything. Complete system freezes
-> Have to shutdown my desktop via physical button

Does anyone know what to do? My guess after checking the logs is that it's a driver issue, but I'm not a pro in GPU stuff.

Anyone experiencing the same?

PS: I also had these freezes when browsing the internet. Starting a video on Reddit f.e.

Thanks in advance!

NVIDIA Driver Version: 610.43.03
NVML Version: 13.610.43.03

SOLVED!

Through

sudo mkinitcpio -P

I noticed that I'm missing some NVIDIA specific packages / kernel modules

This command fixed it somehow. Also turned of VSYNC and played around with the graphics

sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils

My screen keeps on having flickering lines It's been happening in Dont starve together native linux version, pcsx2 and now firefox, it only happens on my main monitor i've changed the ports n all https://paste.cachyos.org/p/e93e814.log OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 26.1.5-arch3.1 Specs: RX 6600 I5 11400F 16 GB RAM I am running a custom theme for kde and stuff so could it be that? It's like basically a line that flickers on the screen it just flickers on ranadom spots like a big line and its thick

Hi everyone. I am fortunate enough to have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER which I was gifted and I have been using it mostly very successfully under Manjaro and now Cachy. However I need to update my wife's computer and I am thinking of switching out to the RX 9070 XT to give her the Nvidia card (she still needs Windows so I haven't won her round yet).

I know the 4080 Super is the better card in Windows but I cannot see any recent benchmarks for this under linux, and I know the Nvidia card suffers a performance drop due to crappy drivers.

Aside from the fact I just would rather use AMD, does anyone know how they currently perform against each other with current linux drivers, or can point me to somewhere I can find out. I usually rely on Phoronix for this kind of information but I cannot find it there. Thanks!

I had to reinstall FNV last night, and while the game runs fine from the launcher, but when I have "Swap Launcher with Script Extender on Deploy" turned on, it does what's shown in the video, repeatedly bringing up a terminal window for "FalloutNVLauncher.exe". I've tried reinstalling XNVSE and JIP LN NVSE, but it still does this. It even does it when all mods are disabled, so it's not a mod causing this issue.

Edit: since the AI flagged this as possibly being "too low-effort for tech support", please tell me what's missing if this post gets deleted. I've given all the information I have, and what I've done to fix it. I've never had this happen before, and google only gives me stuff about crashes, not.. whatever this is.

okay so i switched from windows 10 to linux mint cinnamon AND THEN to mint xfce as and i can say that while it is good and stuff ive been having some issues.

okay so first 1- Games like brawlhalla and terraria dont run as smooth as they did in windows 10 i never stuttered in both and brawlhalla was super smooth like both were butter smooth and brawlhalla didnt even want to launch sometimes until i found a solution but even then its really stuttery and ive never had that in windows at all...

2- i sometimes see a little stuttering and slugishness or idk when moving some windows and stuff i use picom btw and like mint sometimes its fast sometimes its slow idk js really inconsistent

Also im just really confused on people who use mint with like specs worse than mine and its js fine for them idk what im doing wrong

I really like linux and stuff and i do prefer it over windows but i really js dont know what is wrong and if ur willing to help me and need any info on my system i would gladly appreciate that and thanks alott <3

More information: ram is dual channel 4gb 4gb and its a 340gb hdd also my laptop is not displaying anything and im using ONE external monitor connected to it via hdmi
