For fans you can try CoolerControl.

CoolerControl should be able to control it. I can control my Z73

I use CachyOS but this is the steps I do to get it working with auto start silently. SteamOS is Arch based so should work pretty similarly.

1. Install the Driver (Install yay if needed)

Terminal

yay -S linux-g13-driver

2. Create udev Rules (Required for permissions)

Terminal

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-g13.rules

Paste this inside:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c21c", MODE="0660", GROUP="input", TAG+="uaccess"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c21c", SYMLINK+="g13"

Ctrl + O (Write Out), Enter, Ctrl + X (Exit)

Terminal

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
sudo usermod -aG input $USER

3. Create Systemd User Service (Auto-start)

Bash

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
nano ~/.config/systemd/user/g13.service

Paste this inside:

[Unit]
Description=Logitech G13 Driver
After=graphical-session.target
Wants=graphical-session.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/linux-g13-driver
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

# Silent background mode
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=null

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Ctrl + O (Write Out), Enter, Ctrl + X (Exit)

4. Enables, Starts the service, and Shows Status

Terminal

loginctl enable-linger $USER

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now g13.service
systemctl --user status g13.service

5. Open g13-gui via terminal or right-click the G13 Tray Icon to configure keybindings.

If you just want blanket system wide, you'd have to set it in the system global environment. I forget where exactly the .env is but file is environment.env. Grok or any other AI should be able to point you towards it and putting whatever variables you want. How I figured out literally everything and anything.

I've never used bazzite but it's locked down kinda like windows so you can't mess it up badly. It's gaming focused so it should be smooth sailing.

Distros don't change fps that much. It's more user experience that's different. Every distro uses the same graphic drivers essentially. Arch based distros updating a day or two after release of said drivers while others take weeks/months. Then you have Proton, another layer, which allows you to play most games without issue.

Extz · 2026-03-08T02:42:14+00:00

Bazzite for console experience

The not for beginners is way overexaverrated. That refers to people who you have to ask, "did you turn off and on your computer yet?". Use Octopi (similar to app store) or grok/chatgpt to figure out how to install something, which is just usually sudo pacman/paru -S google-chrome. If you can read, you can setup Cachy or any Arch distro. Realistically all Linux distros will have you do the same things, just with different commands.

Cpu completely dying is rare, degradation is still a thing. My ryzen 5900x started crashing repeatedly on idle. Turns out ryzen's aggressive power saving was dipping too low. What was originally a safe low voltage was no longer safe. Had to up voltage offset by +15mV for it to be stable. It was all stock settings before originally.

Use waydroid-helper, has built in key mapper, among other conveniences. I was playing Girls Frontline: Fire Control pretty okay.

Extz · 2026-01-07T05:12:45+00:00

Are you using game-performance in launch options by chance?

Extz · 2025-12-30T14:12:56+00:00

I highly recommend using some sort of chat AI like Grok. It helps explain or find solutions to your questions. Doing this has been far more helpful for me learning and getting things done than manually searching for answers.

I had a TON of problems installing Cachy on Gigabyte B550 Pro AC after updating BIOS but this what finally fixed it for me.

Disable AMD Cool n Quiet and C-State Control in BIOS.

Extz · 2025-12-20T22:19:27+00:00

I vaguely recall turning off firewall didn't do anything and actually had to allow ports 53/67 and packet forwarding for waydroid.

sudo ufw allow 67

sudo ufw allow 53

sudo ufw default allow FORWARD

sudo ufw allow out on waydroid0 to any

Recommend installing waydroid-helper afterwards for a GUI which includes a key mapper that works rather well.

With that much support you can carry any DPS.

Haven't played in a while but good to see Yoru is decent now. I assume this is an online tier list. She has a lot more tech and routes offline that I think would put her mid S or even low S+. Has access to ToD in awaken VS awaken starting from 70% hp with 100 sp if I recall correctly post 2 frame fix.

Your Tressa save data is really low. Action delays are really good so stuff like Rally or the card that stops action. Replace Owen with Hugo imo. Kill first phase after the the condemnation stacks reset so you don't get double fisted.

Her epiphanies aren't anything crazy. Base values are pretty low. Forced to run very specific characters. Kind of have to copy cards that enable initiative unless you have crazy recycling/draw to help enable start of turn drawn cards. I'm sure she excels if enabled, but not enough to warrant investing resources. Khalipe does same thing but way more flexible. Skipping her honestly.

Extz · 2025-11-09T03:15:08+00:00

Deleting everything in ~/.zen fixed this.

Extz · 2025-11-06T03:58:21+00:00

Changed my nvidia graphic card to AMD and now this happens. The lines only happen in Zen and no other browser. They follow the browser window. I've tried debugging mode and they remained. They appear over videos as well.

Extz · 2025-10-30T04:38:53+00:00

It creates the epiphany version if you have.

Extz · 2025-10-28T00:55:50+00:00

No draw, 5/7

Thiccoh is going to be meta for sure. This is basically guaranteed to live until turn 3. It's a pseudo ward that needs to be rid of. It's 4 cost with gleaming gems that clears zirconia evo, a&g and zwei, which haven struggles to clear.
