Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. 1769025840
2. CachyOS
3. No
4. Yes
5. Intel IrisXe
6. I expect CS2 to launch and run smoothly on CachyOS with stable frame rates, proper audio, and no crashes.
7. The game fails to launch on CachyOS after removing the Steam Workshop maps while on Windows 11 and then switching back to Linux.
8. When I remove the workshop maps and return to CachyOS, the game no longer launches.
9. Additionally: When using Proton 10, I get a VAC error. When using the native version, I get a Vulkan error. When I re-add the maps on Windows 11 and switch back to Linux, the issue persists, and CS2 still fails to launch.

I would appreciate suggestions for optimizing CS2 on Linux for smoother performance as well.
