Gaming Stability

As a gamer on Arch Linux with Hyprland, I want Steam/Proton games (especially Palworld) to run without crashing the compositor or locking up the IPC socket, so I can game without needing to kill and restart my desktop session.

Key Outcomes

  • Palworld runs for extended sessions without Steam overlay IPC pipe crashes
  • If a game crashes, the zombie window is cleaned up without blocking Hyprland IPC
  • Crash recovery procedures are documented and tested
  • Observability commands are documented for GPU, Steam, Hyprland, and audio diagnostics
  • Workstation config is managed as IaC for reproducible setup
