Proton-CachyOS Adds NVIDIA Reflex and AMD Anti-Lag 2 Enablement for Non-Native Games
It was recently announced that AMD Anti-Lag 2 and NVIDIA Reflex could be run on just about any GPU under Linux with the new low_latency_layer workaround for the Vulkan driver. Now, that same support has been added to the CachyOS version of the Proton compatibility layer, CachyOS-Proton version 11.0-20260519, making enabling AMD Anti-Lag 2 and NVIDIA Reflex simpler. The low_latency_layer can be enabled by adding a launch option "LOW_LATENCY_LAYER=1" but further tweaks and configuration will need to happen via the methods in the low_latency_layer project documentation.
The other major update that has come to CachyOS-Proton version 11 is the introduction of rpc-bridge to enable Rich Presence support in Discord. This, too, is not enabled by default, and can be enabled by adding the launch option "PROTON_DISCORD_BRIDGE=1". The update also includes a number of other changes and bug fixes, like fixes for media playback to require less manual intervention; improvements to the OptiScaler injection method—which expands the number of compatible games—and a move to Windows 11 by default in Proton 11.

This sounds like a distro patch. Is there any reason why not fix the issue / enhance the software in the source code? was it called, contribute back?
top left of the provided url, well fork it and thats itWe do not have the issue of too much fragmentation in the gnu userspace with the linux kernel, right? Just fork the code and thats it.
