Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) on Linux – How to Enable Ray Tracing + RX 7900 GRE 4K Test!

Shane Milton 2026-03-01 | Welcome back! In this video, we test Resident Evil Requiem (Resident Evil 9) running on Linux and show you how to expose ray tracing when using Proton.

If you're on an AMD Radeon GPU (like the RX 7900 GRE) or even an Nvidia card, the game checks for Proton and hides ray tracing by default. I’ll show you the custom launch option you need to bypass that and unlock RT.

My launch options
mangohud %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False

Test Setup:
GPU: RX 7900 GRE
Resolution: 1440p → 4K
Ray Tracing: High
FSR 3.1.5 (Quality / Balanced / Performance tested)
Frame Generation tested
Proton (Custom build)
MangoHud for monitoring

We also compare:
Standard ray tracing vs path tracing
FSR scaling modes and performance impact
Frame generation latency & smoothness
Cutscene vs gameplay performance
Visual quality at 4K

Even without path tracing, the graphics in this game are absolutely stunning. Ray-traced reflections, lighting, rain effects — it looks incredible.

If you're gaming on Linux and want RT enabled, this guide will help you get it working.

Let me know in the comments if you want more AMD or Nvidia Linux tests. I may be picking up a new GPU soon, so future comparisons are coming!

I Built a Python Tool to Automatically Install GPU Compute Drivers on Linux (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel)

Shane Milton 2026-01-24 | In this video, I walk through a Python script I’ve been working on that helps automate the installation of GPU compute drivers on Linux.

Tool on Github: github.com/ShaneMilton/GpuInstaller

This tool detects your Linux distribution and GPU vendor, then installs the correct compute runtime for your system — including:
• AMD ROCm
• NVIDIA CUDA
• Intel Compute Runtime

The script currently supports Fedora and Arch-based distributions (Arch, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, CachyOS), with an easy way to add support for additional distros.

It uses lspci to detect the GPU vendor (AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel) rather than the card manufacturer, and presents everything through a Python Tkinter GUI. The script runs install commands via the terminal and requires sudo access, so you’ll want to keep the console open while using it.

The project will be released on GitHub under GPLv3, and I’m open to contributions. My Python knowledge is limited, so if you have ideas for improvements (Polkit support, Qt UI, more functionality), feel free to jump in and help out.

Easily Install OptiScaler with GOverlay on Linux | FSR, XCSS, Frame Gen Tested RDNA, NVIDIA, Intel

Shane Milton 2026-01-22 | In this video, I take a deep dive into the new GOverlay version of OptiScaler and show how it makes installing and managing OptiScaler on Linux incredibly easy.

We test OptiScaler with Shadow of the Tomb Raider running through Proton, exploring how FSR, Intel XeSS (XCSS), and frame generation behave across different GPUs — including AMD RDNA2/RDNA3, NVIDIA, and Intel setups.

What’s covered in this video:
-Installing OptiScaler using the new GOverlay
-Forcing FSR2, FSR3, and FSR 3.1.5 in games without native support
-Using Intel XeSS (XCSS) as a base upscaler
-Testing OptiScaler Frame Generation (OptiFG)
-HUD glitches & performance drops (and how to fix them)
-RDNA vs NVIDIA feature behavior (DLSS, Reflex, Anti-Lag 2)
-MangoHUD, Proton tweaks, NVAPI forcing, and GameMode
-Emulating ray tracing on older AMD hardware
-Flatpak issues on Fedora vs Arch-based systems

Even though Shadow of the Tomb Raider doesn’t officially support FSR, we’re able to force modern upscaling and frame generation, run the game at 4K with ray traced shadows, and get solid performance — with a few caveats.

CachyOS + AMD ROCm 7.1: DaVinci Resolve Working Natively on Linux

Shane Milton 2026-01-17 | In this video, I walk through installing CachyOS and setting it up the way I plan to run it on my main desktop, with a focus on AMD GPUs, ROCm, and DaVinci Resolve.

I’m planning to upgrade to an AMD RX 9070 XT (RDNA 4), and at the moment Fedora 43 is limited to ROCm 6.4, which does not support RDNA 4. CachyOS ships with ROCm 7.x, making it a much better choice if you want stable OpenCL, HIP, and DaVinci Resolve performance on newer AMD hardware.

This setup gives me a stable DaVinci Resolve workflow, proper RDNA 4 support, and a fast Arch-based system without relying on Mesa OpenCL.

Shane Milton 2025-12-19 | In this video, I show how to fix voiceover recording not working in DaVinci Resolve on Linux, specifically on Fedora using PipeWire.

If you’re using a newer version of DaVinci Resolve (I’m on DaVinci Resolve Studio 20) and notice that the voiceover microphone shows no input or records silent audio, this video walks through the solution step by step.

I cover:

Why DaVinci Resolve voiceover recording fails on Linux

PipeWire, PulseAudio, and ALSA bridge issues

The required package: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

How to fix the issue on native installs and DistroBox containers

Recording voiceovers directly on the timeline in DaVinci Resolve

Muting timeline audio while recording to avoid feedback

This allows you to finally record voiceovers directly inside DaVinci Resolve on Linux, instead of relying on external editors like Kdenlive.

If you’re editing gameplay footage, tutorials, or commentary videos on Linux, this should save you a lot of time.

Pragmata First Look Demo on Linux (Steam) | Performance, Gameplay

Shane Milton 2025-12-15 | In this video, I take a first look at Capcom’s upcoming game Pragmata by playing through the Steam demo on Linux. This is a game I’ve been waiting for, and I wanted to see how well it runs and whether it’s likely to work smoothly at launch.

So far, the demo runs well on Linux, holding a mostly consistent 60 FPS at 1440p with V-Sync enabled. I didn’t see explicit ray tracing options, but visually the game looks great and appears to be using Capcom’s RE Engine.

I also dive into the game’s unique hacking mechanic, where you pause combat, input directional commands, and weaken enemies. It took me a bit to get used to (especially on keyboard), but it adds an interesting layer to combat. Controls can feel a little confusing at first, but they become clearer as you progress.

Overall, the game feels promising, visually impressive, and well-performing in the demo. If this is any indication, Pragmata should be playable day one on Linux once it releases.

Watch through the gameplay all the way to the boss fight, and let me know what you think of Pragmata in the comments!

Playnite 11, Avalonia, and Linux Support — The Future Is Looking Good

Shane Milton 2025-12-01 | Playnite fans, this is BIG news. Today we’re diving into the future of Playnite, the open-source game library manager that currently runs only on Windows — but major updates show that Linux support is officially planned.

In this video, we cover:

🔹 What Playnite is and why it’s popular
🔹 Why it has remained Windows-only (WPF limitations)
🔹 The transition to .NET 8 and the Avalonia UI framework
🔹 The developer’s 2025–2026 roadmap
🔹 Planned Linux-specific features: Wine/Proton integration, Legendary, Heroic (GOGDL)
🔹 Expected limitations in early versions (desktop-mode only, Steam Deck notes)
🔹 Why Linux will get Playnite support before macOS

The Playnite maintainer has confirmed that once Playnite 11 launches on Windows, development will begin on porting it to Avalonia — and a Linux version is expected to start in 2026. This could finally give Linux gamers a unified launcher capable of managing Steam, Epic, GOG, emulators, and more.

I’m personally excited to see how this evolves, and I’ll continue following updates as they happen. If an alpha or beta drops, we’ll cover it here.

PikaOS Gaming Review on Desktop PC — Installation, Setup & Stellar Blade Performance Test!

Shane Milton 2025-11-20 | In today’s video, I take a full look at PikaOS on my main desktop PC to see how it performs as a Linux gaming distribution. From installation to gaming benchmarks, we walk through every step to find out whether PikaOS is a solid choice for PC gamers.

I start by going through the PikaOS installer, selecting language, keyboard layout, timezone, and making sure I don’t overwrite my Fedora installation. PikaOS uses Btrfs, ZRAM, and ships with a custom 6.17.8 kernel that includes performance optimizations similar to CachyOS.

Once installed, we go through the welcome screen, system updates, KDE Plasma 6.3.6, and the preinstalled gaming tools such as Steam, Lutris, Heroic, ProtonPlus, and various Wine utilities. Bluetooth pairing for my Xbox controller worked instantly, which is always a good sign for Linux gaming.

For the gameplay test, I installed Stellar Blade on my dedicated games drive and ran it at 4K resolution with FSR3 (no frame generation). Shader compilation was quick, and the overall performance was surprisingly smooth with a stable framerate. Gameplay felt great despite my controller having a bit of stick drift.

Overall, PikaOS delivered a strong out-of-the-box gaming experience, quick setup, and excellent performance in Unreal Engine titles. I’ll be testing more Linux distributions soon—let me know which ones you’d like to see reviewed next!

Fedora Linux After 3 Weeks: Gaming, Editing & RAM Disaster Update!

Shane Milton 2025-11-17 | In this video, I share my updated experience after nearly a month of using Fedora Linux as my main desktop operating system. This is my honest 30-day Fedora Linux review, focusing on real-world performance for Linux gaming, video editing on Linux, Proton compatibility, and overall system stability.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been gaming heavily on Fedora with titles like Planet Crafter and Arc Raiders, and Fedora has delivered excellent performance with smooth frame rates, strong 1% lows, and reliable Steam Proton support. Even co-op gaming with my kid has been rock solid. Fedora continues to impress me as a gaming-focused Linux distro, even though it's not marketed as one.

While editing a RAM-intensive podcast in DaVinci Resolve for Linux, I discovered that my system instability was caused by failing memory. Running MemTest86+ confirmed RAM errors, and replacing the sticks (despite today’s crazy RAM prices) instantly restored stability. With my G.Skill Ripjaws 3600MHz back in place, Fedora has been performing better than ever.

I’ve also tested various Proton-GE and Proton-cachyos builds using ProtonPlus and Qt-ProtonUp. Interestingly, Fedora running Proton-cachyos offers performance within 1 FPS of running CachyOS itself, since the builds compile against your CPU architecture. This makes Fedora surprisingly competitive with top-tier performance distros for gaming.

So, will I continue using Fedora?
Yes — Fedora Linux is currently my main distro.
It’s stable, fast to shut down, reliable for gaming, and consistent during content creation. Compared to Arch-based distros and even CACHYOS, Fedora has provided a smoother, more dependable experience for daily use.

Moving forward, I’ll be testing more Linux distros, doing more Linux gaming benchmarks, and creating Linux modding tutorials. With the improved support from the NexusMods App on Linux, I’m excited to mod games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas and share full guides here on the channel.

Why I’m Switching to Fedora Linux for 30 Days – DaVinci Resolve, KDE, and Real-World Use

Shane Milton 2025-10-21 | Welcome back! In this video, I’m kicking off a 30-day challenge using Fedora Linux 42 KDE Edition as my daily driver — specifically for content creation and gaming.

After running into recurring issues with DaVinci Resolve on Arch-based distros, especially related to AUR timeouts, I decided it was time for a change. Fedora’s stability, ease of setup, and strong support for RDNA3 GPUs (like my RX 7900 GRE) made it the perfect candidate.
