In the CachyOS with Wine only, where the global dxvk.conf is stored by default or it has a path to load it?

dxvk doesn't by itself add a any config files. But you could make a global one yourself yes by pointing DXVK_CONFIG_FILE at one you have created.

Sry, im new to Linux world and Wine stuff, but the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE isn't a variable that should be configured in system?
I need some help please like a guidance to configure the pointing option.

It's an environment variable. Those also exist on Windows.

But generally you shouldnt have to change anything in the DXVK config file.

Thanks, i will mark this as solved, but as last question, the dxvk.conf can be like in ~/.config/DXVK/dxvk.conf or it needs to be in the wine directory like ~/.wine/dxvk.conf?

You can put it wherever you want if you set the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to the path.

By default DXVK will look in your home directory (~/dxvk.conf) or right next to the exe.
