Edit: Imgur image looks bad… here’s a Google Drive link… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ILom9sopJQxUHEMzDBaOUMD8LOn0my8b/view?usp=drivesdk Edit 2: For whoever wants to view it on Google Drive, I made the link public now, sorry… The whole day after removing the kernel module, no panicks occurred, guess it’s fixed? I opened an issue on GitHub.

Every thing works as it should for me now. here's the thread where I found the original solution: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=130505 for any one trying to get full functionality out of their AN515-58 on Linux here's a link to a kernel module that allows you to control the rgb lights in the keyboard:https://github.com/JafarAkhondali/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module/tree/main

I have a Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-54 and when I click the scan devices button my keyboard doest appear. I found some people online saying that this works but I have windows and not linux so idk what to do.

try this FOSS programm: https://github.com/JafarAkhondali/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module I've managed to get it working today as I needed it to change lights because keyboard light wasn t persistent after a shutdown(it was after a reboot tho, surprisingly enough).

https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/659095/nitro-5-ans515-45-is-there-any-way-to-change-the-backlight-color-of-the-keyboard-on-linux which leads to https://github.com/JafarAkhondali/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module

Try this maybe https://github.com/JafarAkhondali/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module

According to the GitHub page:

A performance optimiser, GameMode by Feral Interactive. It’s not required for anything to launch (unless maybe you’ve configured something to run via gamemoderun and GameMode isn’t actually installed on your system!)

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. Just create a file called gamemode.ini in $HOME/.config/, and copy inside this.

Thinking about running "gamemode" https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.

oh, you're referring to gamemoderun.

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Here's a link, looks like they are indeed working on it: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/pull/416

Didn't include your OS but if you are on Ubuntu people reported before missing some 32-bit libraries as seen here https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/254
