Ubuntu based Prerequisites (PPA):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:damentz/liquorix && sudo apt-get update -y

64-bit Install:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-liquorix-amd64 -y

Built into Arch Linux and part of the official pacman repositories.

This does a lot of the same tweaks as Liquorix but for Arch based distributions.

pacman -S linux-zen -y

Source Project: https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh

This will update a debian stable release to the latest official kernel.

apt install wget -y
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh/master/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh
chmod +x ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh
sudo mv ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh /usr/local/bin/

From terminal type any of the following commands:

ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -c # Check if Newer Kernel available
ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -i # Install latest kernel
ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -l # List locally installed kernels
ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -u # Uninstall mainline kernel

This changes the compiling from LLVM to ACO which is considerably faster.

You do need up-to-date drivers mesa 20+ and edit /etc/environment.

Add this to /etc/environment

/etc/environment

RADV_PERFTEST=aco

There are several packages that wine, proton and lutris game installs need.

It is recommended installing all the dependancies before installing lutris.

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main' -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging -y
sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libxml2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386 -y
sudo apt-get install lutris -y

Check to see if esync is enabled already (most distributions do by default)

ulimit -Hn

If this returns more than 500,000 than ESYNC IS ENABLED! If not, proceed with these instructions:

Change the following files and add this line to the bottom

/etc/systemd/system.conf & /etc/systemd/user.conf

/etc/systemd/system.conf

DefaultLimitNOFILE=524288

/etc/systemd/user.conf

DefaultLimitNOFILE=524288

/etc/security/limits.conf

GitHub Source Project: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

apt install meson libsystemd-dev pkg-config ninja-build git libdbus-1-dev libinih-dev dbus-user-session -y

pacman -S meson systemd git dbus -y

git clone https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.git
cd gamemode
git checkout 1.5.1 # omit to build the master branch
./bootstrap.sh

systemctl --user stop gamemoded.service
ninja uninstall -C builddir

There are multiple ways to Use GameMode

• Lutris - Under settings you can enable GameMode for all games you launch
• Steam - Go to Launch options for the game of choice and type in

  gamemoderun %command%

• Terminal - type

  gamemoderun ./game

• Gnome Tool - If you use GNOME Desktop Environment install this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1852/gamemode/

The stock steam proton is rather old and behind the Wine team.

Which means there are a lot of performance tweaks and improvements that you aren’t getting yet.

It is therefore recommended that you install Custom proton which should provide a considerable improvement when gaming in Steam.

Auto-Install Project: https://github.com/Termuellinator/ProtonUpdater

For Installation, we will use the ProtonUpdater script on GitHub.

cd ~
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Termuellinator/ProtonUpdater/master/cproton.sh
sudo chmod +x cproton.sh
./cproton.sh
