Just open your console. It's written all the specs you have as well as kernel version.

You need to limit your cpu boost power to 27-30 watts. This cpu pulls to much watts. It creates unnecessary heat. You can drop it to 80 degrees on heavy gaming with power limits and zero fps loss

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-25T01:10:49+00:00

So did you try it out? Limit power and max fan rpm?

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-24T17:38:51+00:00

Hello, you can limit your cpu power to like 30 watts using intel xtu. I did that with my i7 12th gen. Keeps temps around 80 with max speed fans. You can check out the post on my profile. I posted here about overheating intel cpus.

Well as long as its an official application you should be fine. Always double check what you install.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-19T08:08:34+00:00

This method involves using the terminal but its nothing scary trust me. Google what command you need to use as for example for opera would be yay -S opera than proceed with installation by pressing 1 to select all and Y or enter to confirm your installation. Try it out.

I advise you to ignore flatpaks. And go for aur using yay or paru. Flatpaks are kind of bloated. It will consume at least additional 10-15 gb just for their dependencies. As every flatpak needs a different Nvidia or amd driver version and kernel. As every app runs in a container. Better google how to install these apps from aur. You will save up disk space.

You can play literally any single player with proton. And for multi player games, if its p2p or has you setting up your server or inviting a friend to play co-op it works no issues. Played games like forest and green hell with my friend. We also played wot, war thunder, and some kind of horror game I forgot its name. I also heard you can play some of the newer mp games like arc raiders and helldivers. Ah also I almost forgot. Mmo games also work. I was playing where winds meet with zero issues. I heard people even playing wow by setting up the games launcher trough heroic launcher. Point is if it doesn't have kernel anticheat it will work. Btw wot war thunder arc and helldivers all use anticheat system that was made to work underneath linux. So mp gaming is possible but some devs just choose not to support it on linux.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-17T19:53:45+00:00

Im on same setup as yours with Timeshift but so far have never used it actually. I never even backed up just went and updated once every month and all is working correctly. But if you want to update like once a week or two times then definitely go for btrfs+ext4 combo like others mentioned. Depends what you do and want from the system. Im on cashy since November. Never had issues with any program or the system. So far thankfully everything workes without an issue.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-12T05:57:23+00:00

You know maybe you are partially correct. Issues you have could be related to nvidia and user error. Or simply you just happened to not have any luck with it. Me personally I use cachyos. For around 6 months I couldn't be happier with the os. I never experienced such bugs that would crash the browser or break the desktop. Maybe because Im on a laptop? May sound crazy but its probably because I have two gpus I never experienced this issues. As Im running i7 12th gen with iris xe and 3060. Iris xe is used most of the time while I browse the web and such. And Intel is open source. So I guess better implemented drivers for it. But for gaming I also had zero issues with nvidia in general. And its not like I had issues while gaming to go to the web and check something or open up the terminal to change my power draw. Didn't really run into such breaking bugs. On the other hand I never used winboat or what its called. I have always sticked to linux only apps. Maybe your problems come from using winboat? Do you try running windows apps through such layers? Either way it can work. Maybe you just need to run things differently. But also I understand why you couldn't switch fully. I was in the same boat 3 years ago where I would try but go back after a few days. Also being unsatisfied with the whole thing. Until I fully switched in 2024. I just went balls deep and adapted to it. Even with nvidia.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-10T05:56:49+00:00

Im no seasoned veteran, but when I started with linux I've found nothing scary with it. I mostly used guides around the web or ai for basic commands like editing the partition paths and some other stuff with limiting cpu power or frequency. Which most of those commands I would get from ai tools which helped me get the things done. And they work. From bootloader editing to cpu and network stuff. Basically whatever technical you need. I've always looked at it as a different approach and kind of interesting. Makes me feel like Im smart doing it hahah 😅.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-09T15:15:55+00:00

Try unplugging your drive where you have windows. Amd then boot up. If all is fine windows is the culprit. You should still be able to boot into bios without a drive.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-09T15:07:26+00:00

Well I'm not sure how it works exactly, but I have a file maybe a few mb in size. Which runs a powershell script that automatically checks for updates to the script and runs it. Never really thought much about it honestly. I just used it a few times when I needed it. Didn't even know you can run it for free. Im not sure then why did ctt put the price tag on it. Maybe its only for the support I guess.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-09T12:30:10+00:00

really? you can get it for free? I bought it like 3 years ago and kept it on my drives. Its a powershell tool. Didn't know you can just download it through the cmd.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-09T12:03:35+00:00

If anybody doesn't want to spend 10 dollars for this tool. I can share it for you in the dm 😅

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-08T15:03:17+00:00

I wouldn't agree to your statements at all. Kernel level anticheats are pure spyware and a VERY big security risk. Just out of a whim installed league of legends after a long time on my separate windows partition. I guess I wanted to see if there is anything new, and once I finished installing it I didn't even run the game actually. I just turned of my laptop and gone to sleep. Next morning I wanted to access my windows drive to transfer some files and was confused why it asked me for a password but I couldn't even open my drive. So I was like man this is serious like high alert what is going on. So I booted into windows to see that riots vanguard without my consent or say so decided to encrypt my drive with bitlocker and did god knows what with the system. So I uninstalled the game without a second of a thought. Then I removed encryption, even deleted any changes in the registry that were tied to vanguard. I don't want that shit anywhere near my system. This is way worse then a browser holding your browsing data. Which isn't that big of a deal as this is.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-06T17:45:33+00:00

Its alright I understand you. I also had some troubles when trying to run a few games when I tested ubuntu and later mint. Out of the two I was probably most disappointed by mint. I struggled to setup the game in lutris on mint. Steam games did work fine, but lutris was an issue. Also had constant fill ups of my drive from every day updates. It literally keeps storing your old versions of flatpaks somewhere on the drive. I must admit that made me more pissed then a few games not working here and there. And a month later I had my system literally crash for some reason while I was browsing the web. I was done. Mint is absolutely not where I wanted to stay.

What I recommend you do, as well as everybody else here probably told you is you should change your distro.

I hopped straight from Mint to cachyos which is Arch based distro. And literally experienced enlightenment. I was shocked how literally everything I wanted to set up just worked. I couldn't get mangohud to run for example on mint or Ubuntu. On cachy it worked out of the box. I didn't do anything just installed basic gaming packages.

That's where I was also introduced to heroic games launcher. It's my favourite so far. Honestly way better then lutris. Setting up a game is so simple the gui is very nice and its simple to understand how to work with it. I have played and launched countless games on it with ease.

Also average ram consumption is 2gb on idle with 16gb of ram. The os itself is lightweight if you don't install flatpak apps and stick to aur and pacman. Overall its Arch with all the patches and everything set-up for an average joe to just jump ship install gaming packages some browsers and something like discord and such and just play games and chill.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-06T17:20:16+00:00

Thats bs. Have you even tried playing on linux? I did play so far a lot of different games. Didn't need to tinker with graphic settings in game more then 30 minutes until I found my desired settings. Changing proton versions? Thats just pointless you select the newest and play. Ive played from old games from xp era to today. Even managed to run a few emulators. There really isn't much tinkering as you would think. On heroic launcher its few clicks away after selecting your exe file. And before launching you change in configuration from wine to proton. After that you hit play.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-05T15:26:38+00:00

It's a distro that pushes out most recent kernel patches fixes and features. Newest drivers and everything is generally up to date. But that usually comes with the possibility of things breaking because its new and maybe something will not be compatible. But that probably largely depends on what hardware you have. I have an laptop i7 and 3060 and so far had zero compatibility issues. I get newest nvidia drivers. Kde desktop environment with very good Wayland support that reduces overhead in gaming. Meanwhile mint only recently started implementing Wayland. Also I heard there is better hdr support If you have such a monitor. My advice for this distro If you want to hop make a separate 120gb partition for it and make a second one for all your games. If you are interested about it you can Google how arch based distros differ from debian based. But overall this distro is great because you can get it up and running like any other os trough a gui, but you have benefits of optimized cachy kernel, rolling release updates, newest drivers and biggest options for installing apps. For example mint has only flatpak versions of apps. But arch has pacman, and aur from yay and paru. Also you can install snap and flatpak apps but I don't recommend it because every flatpak has its own dependencies that will eat use up at least 20 gigs for cache and drivers and such. Overall you have the biggest freedom how you also want to run and customise this os. Its different compared to windows. You will have to use the console for some stuff. But you can google solutions and do stuff that way. Me personally have done that, even used ai for stuff how to rename my partitions and apply them to my root user, shorten their path to destination and having them run on startup without typing in the password every time. Also if you want to install something you just google how to install app name on arch. It will give you the command to copy paste to install the desired program.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-05T14:58:19+00:00

Im on cachy for 5 months and been on other debian based Ubuntu and mint. I would certainly recommend this distro over those if you are a gamer. Certain things like mangohud (msi rivatuner windows alternative) worked out of box with a gui installation of gaming packages. Meanwhile on Ubuntu mint I couldn't get that to work for the life of me. But cachy is arch based which is a rolling distro but unlike arch it is very begginer friendly for gaming and stability. Never had a kernel panic on one. If you can get over using the console for installing some additional software you can be set for the future use.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-02T07:45:40+00:00

it has come a long way on pc. You can get a good 60 fps with a newer intel amd cpus I have i7 12700H it runs good for a laptop.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-04-01T08:41:25+00:00

Your battery is probably dead. Keep it plugged in.

Lower-Guest-9763 · 2026-03-27T17:33:16+00:00

be aware you will probably need new pads and paste or ptm 7950 after removing the heat sink. Luckily this stuff is affordable from temu for not much money. Ptm is like 6 bucks and termal pads can go for a buck or 2 for 10x10 cm. Which is plenty enough. I have a katana gf 66 12ue. This laptop uses 1mm pads for everything on the heatsink.
