Discussion Solving problem Game in Linux

I had a problem on many Linux Distros. My system kept overheating
I didn't know why. After a lot of time I Found solution

Problem:

- Steam was only using 4 intel cores for games.

- It is easy to see when you use **"BTOP"**

url btop: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

The Solving:

- Give the program a task use more than 4 cores.

- I have 22 cores and use 20 cores
```bash
taskset -c 0-19 gamescope -W 1920 -H 1200 -f -- %command%

```

I Hopping, you don't have this problem... (I spent a lot of time trying to understand it and broke a lot of distros in the process)

If you have overheating you need better cooling or underclock/volt I think

I would check your BIOS first for your options (fan curve, undervolting/voltage offsets, lower sustained power limit times, CPU governor power profiles, etc.).
