Hello all
i am a 2 months noob to both, linux and garuda, since i heard about proton, i wanted to change from win to linux and after a little i thought garuda might fit best. And everything was working great until recently, daily updating everything and so, but now i've got some problems, i need help for (they might be connected, thats why i post them in one thread) :
- first, i play quake champions (yes, know for its bugs) , what worked for nearly 2 month pretty well, with occasional crashes, but in the week before the last, there was a proton update which broke it for me, and now it is just crashing every other match, clean without any errormessage
while trying to fix it, i found this message in the dmesg (and no other errors) :
*> [ 3386.939587] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver ID)*
*> [ 3386.939588] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: device [10de:2216] error status/mask=00000040/0000a000*
*> [ 3386.939589] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: [ 6] BadTLP*
so i googled and found it comes from APSM and i tried the workaround i found there and disabled the APSM in the grub (what didn't fix the crashes, but ok, the dmesg-error was gone, more later on)
- second, parallel, i had to install a new mouse as my old broke. its a steelseries aerox 5 what piper cannot find, so again, i googled and found rivalcfg, not realising it was not a frontend but just some config i installed it .... and here the real strange thing comes in, since i did that, the octopi suddenly takes for minutes! to check for updates (it used to manage that in less than 30 seconds) and the updating process takes even longer
trying to fix that, i reverted the grub changes and deinstalled the rivalcfg but still, the octopi doesnt work as before....
when i run it and a journalctl afterwards it gives me :

so sorry for the long post, in the end, my two questions are
- can you help me with the game crashes ? (most probably not, it's qc)
and - how to fix octopi so it works as fast as before ?

thanks 
(PS: please use easy words in the help, everything "i know" about dmesg and journalctl i learnd in the last week 
)
when i just type octopi to the consol, it tells me, i need to launch some /usr/ …
