It seems like some modern motherboards use fan control systems are not fully compatible out of the box with Linux (what a surprise).
In particular this relates to my recently acquired MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard, but as I understand this same problem also happens on other MSI and ASUS motherboards.

Alright, let me give you the magic string right away:
gamescope --mangoapp -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 2560 -H 1440 --fullscreen --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --backend=wayland -- env ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 %command%
Put this in your Steam game launch options, adjusting the resolution and you should be good to go.

I’ve been using Relm4 for a project and it’s been pretty great. Relm4 is basically a wrapper around the GTK API that offers a more declarative layer of abstraction for building applications.

I’ve recently upgraded my GPU from a 5700XT to a 7800XT, and of course using a new GPU close to launch on Linux would reveal some paper cuts.
Turns out my GPU fans weren’t spinning, even under load. It helps that it’s winter and I have some very effective case fans, but it didn’t really make sense that at 88°C junction temperature the fans wouldn’t spin.
