  • vkBasalt

    a vulkan post processing layer for linux

  • You have an AMD sharpness problem in Windows, as mentioned by other commenters. Vkbasalt is the thing you need to match behaviors in Linux. Other good stuff for tweaking: mangohud (with goverlay), gamemode, proton-ge, corectrl. Since you're on Arch, maybe use the AUR to build mesa-git if you want unreleased performance enhancements, but this can be unwieldy to update and unstable, so skip it if you're unfamiliar.

  • reshade-steam-proton

    Easy setup and updating of ReShade on Linux for games using wine or proton.

  • You can also use this reshade-linux script to install reshade directly into the prefix. Gives a lot more options than the default vkBasalt ones and also a UI Ingame to change settings on the fly.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
