Im kinda getting bored, been playing cs, deadlock, predecessor, was playing crusader kings but now it crashes every time. I switched over to linux about a month ago so allot of game i used to play i cannot now.

Well, at least in my experience:

Specs: RTX 3050 with 11th gen i5

This is a big surprise, especially for a demanding game.

Unlike the previous post, this time I used the latest git, which is noticeably better than the current packages on Arch.

I finally made the switch.

For context I have never been this OS over another and can find my way around any OS with patience but I had enough of the wedge Microsoft drove between its Windows OS and the users. Especially with bloatware and AI.

I had the courage this week to switch to Zorin as my daily driver and gaming machine. After a day of configuring setting up my conky widgets, installing lutris and wine for non steam games and enabling nvidia drivers over xorg I am happy with what I am seeing.

On average I have seen a return of about 5gigs of ram and overall less vram utilization.

The performance and response times are far more impressive than I originally thought.

I am staying with Zorin and I will never go back.

Hi everyone,

I'm making some changes to Proton-Wineland and I wanted to share them with you beforehand.

Wineland -> Salkim?

Maybe you have noticed that I started to use a different name tag in my repositories, Salkim. It means a bunch, in Turkish and it reflects the current direction of Wineland, as it is not a Wine only Wayland tweaked package anymore. One of the main problems with the Wineland name is it is a bit confusing, especially considering how close it is to the name Wayland. People still confuse it with Proton-CachyOS and make bug reports to CachyOS or ask them questions, thinking that it is CachyOS Wayland. Wineland is just a quick name I came up with to make a separate build for my Wayland changes, but since then things changed a lot.

I still don't know when that will happen, or if that will happen at all, as now Wineland name is known by many, including the applications like ProtonPlus, Faugus etc. So if you see the name tag Salkim, don't be surprised, it is still an internal name I use.

Bundled RADV, fresh from Mesa main

With the next release, Wineland will ship a bundled RADV driver, built from a snapshot of Mesa's development branch. It's opt-in and only applies to the game you enable it for, so your system driver stays as default. To try it add PROTON_RADV=1 env variable. The driver reports itself as radv-salkim, so that you can tell which one is active.

The reason to include RADV is not only to have the latest features but for being able to use any urgently required fix or feature as soon as possible. I know, it sounds a bit too experimental but I hope it is going to worth it. It is anyway not enabled by default, so you will be using the system RADV if you didn't set PROTON_RADV=1. Next release build will be the first one to include it, so let me know if you encounter any issues.

I thought about including also NVK but I wasn't sure how it is going to turn out, as it requires a Rust compiler, and I am not sure of the Rust compiler that comes bundled with Valve's SDK. And as a C++ developer, I know nothing about Rust. Maybe in the future things will change.

Low Latency components

DXVK Low Latency, vkd3d Low Latency and the low_latency_layer will no longer be bundled. They served us well, but from now on I would like to rely on DXVK, vkd3d-proton and RADV's built-in AMD anti-lag. Dropping them means less duplicated work and fewer things that can drift out of sync. I already have my own fork of DXVK and vkd3d-proton, which I rebase with my every release. I know some of you like to use them but I would rather fix any issues on my forks.

If you use any of these launch options, you can remove them in the next release build: PROTON_DXVK_LOWLATENCY, PROTON_VKD3D_LOWLATENCY, LOW_LATENCY_LAYER.

Let me know what you think.

What's a game you've recently played on Linux that worked much better than you expected? I'd be interested in hearing both about flawless out-of-the-box experiences and surprising fixes that made a stubborn game playable.

eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise

The private keys of eight eMudhra intermediate CA certificates have been compromised. They chain to roots trusted by the Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple and Chrome root programs and by many downstream trust stores.

What actions have been taken?

The root programs and many downstream trust stores have taken action to protect their users. The certificates have been blocked in Firefox and Chrome since the 17th of October, in Apple devices since the 19th and on Microsoft platforms since the 20th.

The issue was responsibly disclosed to downstream trust stores on the 19th of October. Many have already released updates or are in the process of releasing updates.

This also affect your Linux distro packages - read link

Are there workarounds for Linux?

Until a distribution ships an updated ca-certificates package, expert users can distrust the affected roots in the system trust store. This is NOT recommended for ordinary users.

On Debian and Ubuntu, run as root:

sed -i \ -e 's|^mozilla/emSign_ECC_Root_CA_-_G3.crt|!&|' \ -e 's|^mozilla/Comodo_AAA_Services_root.crt|!&|' \ /etc/ca-certificates.conf && update-ca-certificates

On Alpine, run as root:

apk add ca-certificates && sed -i -e 's|^mozilla/emSign_ECC_Root_CA_-_G3.crt|!&|' \ /etc/ca-certificates.conf && update-ca-certificates

On Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and Amazon Linux 2023, run as root:

d=/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blocklist; [ -d $d ] || d=/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blacklist trust extract --overwrite --format=pem-bundle \ --filter='pkcs11:object=Comodo%20AAA%20Services%20root;type=cert' \ $d/Comodo_AAA_Services_root.pem && trust extract --overwrite --format=pem-bundle \ --filter='pkcs11:object=emSign%20ECC%20Root%20CA%20-%20G3;type=cert' \ $d/emSign_ECC_Root_CA_-_G3.pem && update-ca-trust

On openSUSE and SLES, run as root:

d=/etc/pki/trust/blocklist; [ -d $d ] || d=/etc/pki/trust/blacklist trust extract --format=pem-bundle \ --filter='pkcs11:object=Comodo%20AAA%20Services%20root;type=cert' \ $d/Comodo_AAA_Services_root.pem && trust extract --format=pem-bundle \ --filter='pkcs11:object=emSign%20ECC%20Root%20CA%20-%20G3;type=cert' \ $d/emSign_ECC_Root_CA_-_G3.pem && update-ca-certificates

On Arch Linux, run as root:

trust extract --format=pem-bundle \ --filter='pkcs11:object=emSign%20ECC%20Root%20CA%20-%20G3;type=cert' \ /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/blocklist/emSign_ECC_Root_CA_-_G3.pem && update-ca-trust

On NixOS, add to your configuration:

security.pki.caCertificateBlacklist = [ "Comodo AAA Services root" "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" ];

Linux notes:

• Fixed Vulkan games hanging after alt-tab.
• Fixed a case where Steam updater UI would fail to show for some users.

Not sure it will solve some crashes/freezing I'm having when playing The Witcher 3 (2026 remaster) and alt-tabing. Besides, there is still a issue related to the linux-firmware (AMD graphics firmware) regression in 20260610/20260916 version.

I've spent a long time looking through different launch variables to see what works, DRI_PRIME=1 caused my performance to absolutely tank.

I am using the Prism Launcher for Minecraft. Kubuntu with KDE Plasma 6.

No setting I tweak changes anything, I'm fairly sure I'm using the correct driver.

My game crashes shortly after booting, usually around a few minutes in the menu or in gameplay. I made sure to update my graphics drivers and I have the Steam version with the T7Patch mod added alongside its correspondent regressed executable. There also seem to be some slight yet noticeable color glitches in some textures beforehand.

It's worth mentioning that the game works with no problems on my non-Linux laptop, but since this one is more powerful I'd prefer to be able to play it on this one. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I just wanted to install Linux so I can mod my games, and use it as a computer. But unfortunately, it seems like only Vulkan games are running well on it. I found someone who tested Doom (2016) and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (The Linux port), and they perform similarly to PlayStation's OS. Doom performs similarly with High to Medium settings, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is similar with Medium settings.

But DirectX 12 games just work badly. There is a CPU bottleneck, which leads to bad performance in Elden Ring, for example.

Anyway, Fedora is just a few GB. So dual booting with PS4's default OS might be a good idea

Are there any additional libraries or packages I need to install to make the unity package work on Linux?

I own a DeepCool MYSTIQUE AIO, the one with the LCD screen on the pump. On Windows, DeepCool's software lets you show CPU temps, charts, your own images and GIFs. On Linux there was nothing that did all of that, so the screen was basically an expensive decoration.

So I reverse engineered how the app talks to the cooler over USB and wrote a native Linux replacement: **Mystique Control**.

**What it does**

- Live dashboard mirroring what's on the cooler screen

- CPU temperature, usage and frequency, memory and fan speed on the display

- Upload your own images and GIFs (up to 9 of each)

- Brightness, screen on/off, manual or gyroscope rotation, idle screen, RGB sync

- Situational, Motion and Recorder modes

- Start with your session

- CLI for scripting (`status`, `set`, `upload`, `check`)

- UI in English and Brazilian Portuguese

**How it works**

- GTK4 + libadwaita GUI

- A small systemd user service is the only thing that talks to the cooler over USB (`3633:0009`); the GUI and CLI talk to it over a Unix socket

- One-time udev rule on first launch, then no root needed

- Shipped as an AppImage: download, `chmod +x`, run

Tested on Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and openSUSE Tumbleweed (x86_64).

**Repo:** https://github.com/gpteixeira/mystique-control (MIT)

If you have a MYSTIQUE (240/360, any variant), I'd really appreciate it if you tested it and told me how it went. Bug reports, `lsusb` output from other variants, and PRs are all welcome.

Tip: if fan/pump RPM shows 0, load your board's Super I/O driver (e.g. `sudo modprobe nct6775`).

If y'all have any other suggestions please share!

Before you leave a comment about Vibes coding or talk about anti-cheat or other related topics, keep in mind that there are already 89 posts on the same subject—this is just to notify you of the update. Even so, there's no doubt that Linux support is beneficial for everyone (in my opinion)

I'd like to add that even though you can see the store and the social section, you can't claim free games or make purchases—which is a bit ironic, since that's what the store is for, right?

I used to have a file in `~/.config/environment.d/` which set MANGOHUD=1 for the whole session, but I have already encountered 2 desktop programs which just crash with mangohud. I don't remember the first one, but the second one is Kdenlive which crashes on project creation with MANGOHUD=1.

I moved recently from Linux Mint, where Wayland is not a thing, to Fedora KDE.

I did it mostly to be able to benefit from better scaling and use of HDR.

It is clear to me to make use of HDR I have to use GE Proton and the appropiate launch commands to use game in Wayland and HDR.

Question is when I load a game that has no HDR, I simply used default proton without any launch commands. I noticed sometimes the scaling i use on the regular deaktop mess up the max in-game resolution, resulting in me having to force Wayland commands to be able to fix it.

As a consequence I end up mostly forcing Wayland via launch commands most of the time.

Is this the same for you? In which cases do you prefer not to use the launch command to force Wayland? Just to learn from it.

Thanks

EDIT : it worked after i turned off wifi power save , and im really thankful to Hanyuu_omochikaeri for helping me

I have a dell Inspiron 15 with a i5 1334U , 16gb ddr5 and iris xe graphics.

I have been trying to play rocket league , the fps is actually very good. But i always get the "Latency variation" (speedometer symbol) screen and the whole game has the rubber banding effect whenever I play online matches. Fyi it runs perfectly on windows , and i checked the network graph too, it seems fine (everything is green), the ping is good too(50-120) , as i mentioned i play on windows with same internet and it works well.

I first thought it was a distro issue after sometime I switched from mint to fedora and had the same issue, I even tried catchy os . But still the same..

In mint i tried switching apps, i tried heroic,lutris and even the new epic native launcher. Also different proton versions(proton catchy os, proton ge 9, proton ge 11, proton experimental etc) . Still the same....

Atp the ONLY reason I'm having windows is for RL and nothing else.

It would be great if someone could help me out!! Thanks!!

noise reduction and pitch if i off them doubling stops
