I'm looking for recommendation for monitor specs.

I'm considering a 27" screen but don't know if should go for LCD, OLED, what refresh rate, freesync etc. I know I want it to use Display Port because of the HDMI forum shenanigans but other than that I'm clueless.

Here's the spec for my setup:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• Graphics: Radeon RX 9070 XT
• RAM: 32 GB DDR5
• MOBO: Asus TUF Gaming B650E-E WiFi

Hello!

This summer I had Arch in my laptop for a couple of weeks and I was mostly fine until I went back to Win11 because of GamePass.

Then in my PC (3700X - 2070Super - 16gb DDR4 - 4 gb swap) I installed it this week and literally can't play. I'm trying to play Borderlands 4 and if I open Firefox, the game may close by itself with a notification saying that the Linux kernel closed steam because the system was low of memory.

Trying to play Fellowship as soon I try to log with the character the game freezes and forces me to close the game through Steam or killing the pid.

And Monster Hunter Wilds directly crashes in the intro logos because of the same reason than Borderlands 4.

I really don't want to use Windows on my main PC and I really want to try to fix this.

Also, KDE Plasma - Wayland sometimes also crashes.

I hope this helps:

GPU: ASUS GT 730,
CPU: Ryzen 3950X
RAM: 16GB
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac (Socket AM4)

I know i have the worst GPU hardware you can imagine, but the game worked "great" (or at least playable) on Windows 11. I have the latest Nvidia Driver on Ubuntu installed (470), running Kernel 6.11 (non HWE) and using X11.
What could cause this issue?

Hello! I'm brand new to Linux (been using it for about 2 hours), I have Linux mint as that was recommended for beginners.

I installed steam fine and that launched, however, when I tried to play any game, it would immediately crash out.

I'm trying to learn Linux now before I build my new computer as I don't wanted to put win11 on it.

The only time I got the games to launch was when I was using Proton 6. It launched but was incredibly leggy.

Someone said to me it is because I'm using a 1080ti.

So do I need to wait until I build my new computer with a better GPU or is it user error somewhere?

Hi! Im new to Linux, and im trying to get Sims 4 off EA or Steam, but neither seem to work. Can someone help me out?

So I've been considering switching to Linux for quite a while now and finally I got a new laptop and thought I'd make the jump. The only thing keeping me hesitant is Infinty Nikki, since it's basically the only game I actually play regularly right now.

I've seen that someone managed to make it work in a post in this subreddit (will link it below), but it was made around 5 months ago and I was worried the new updates might have impacted it.

Could anyone tell me if the game is working? Maybe if there are any problems I should expect?

The post I was talking about above:https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1l74wuk/psa_infiniti_nikki_works/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

OS: CachyOS DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.1 WM: KWin (Wayland) Primary Monitor: 3440x1440 120HZ, connected with Displayport Secondary Monitor: 3840x2160 60HZ, connected with Displayport

Last night I posted this issue: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1oor2bz/ultrawide_monitor_resolutions_missing_in_multiple/

I eventually tracked down the issue along with a temporary solution, but am unsure how to more permanently fix it. The issue is the X Window system is reporting the wrong resolutions for my primary monitor, but only when I have the secondary monitor connected. I'll share two screenshots of the output from xrandr for the same monitor. One with the secondary monitor also connected. One without.

With secondary monitor connected: https://imgur.com/a/eHGQ0Gh Without: https://imgur.com/a/y6tkW7V

As you can see with my secondary monitor connected it reports my monitor resolution as 5316x2225. Which is very much not the case lol. When I unplug the secondary monitor it correctly shows 3440x1440. The 3440x1440_120 entry you see at the bottom of both is a manual entry I added.

This only seems to affect games, which I assume are still using the old X11 system? Those games will default to the 5316x2225 resolution and 3440x1440 wasn't an option until I added that manual entry. At the desktop level, which is using Wayland to my understanding, I haven't had any of these issues and could select 3440x1440 without needing to do anything else.

Any ideas how I could more permanently fix this?

I’ve been working on a small open-source project called BEEP-8.

It runs in any modern Linux browser and works completely offline once loaded. You don’t need Wine, Proton or Steam. Just open the page and it behaves like a tiny retro game console.

What it is:

- Runs in Firefox and Chromium on Linux

- 100% free and open source (MIT)

- Games are written in C/C++

- Compiled to a small bytecode format and executed by a custom ARM-like CPU emulator written in JavaScript

- No ads, no backend server, just static files

Live demo (playable in Linux browsers):

https://beep8.org

GitHub (SDK, toolchain, source code):

https://github.com/beep8/beep8-sdk

You can also self-host it on Nginx, Apache, GitHub Pages or even python3 -m http.server.

Example games available:

- 1D Pac-Man (just one horizontal line)

- ApeSky, a rope-swing climbing experiment

- Small demos showing graphics and sound

Why I thought Linux users might like it:

- Nothing to install, no Flatpak or AppImage needed

- Works on old hardware and Steam Deck

- All code is open if you want to hack it or build your own game

If anyone wants a quick setup guide or wants to bundle it into a package, I'm happy to help.

Hey. I'm using CachyOS and trying to run RDR2, but when the loading screen ends, the game crashes with the message "ERR_GFX_STATE Restart the system". I have both the Intel integrated and an nvidia GTX1650, and after that crashm my PC won't recognize the nvidia anymore. I tried using the prime-run for Hybrid GPUs, but still nothing, and I don't think thats the problem since I see the GPU is being used on steam's performance monitor. There's another suspicious thing too, on the game's graphis settings theres an option to change the GPU used, that has the options 0 and 1, and it says 0 has 4096mb of VRAM (which is correct for the nvidia), and 1 has ~11000mb, which I suppose is the integrated Intel, misundestood by the system as 11gb of VRAM. When I use option 0, it crashes, but when I use 1, it runs, but evidently, very poorly. Does anyone have an idea of what can I do? I tried lots of different things so far, but I'm new to linux and I might be missing something. I'm really enjoying it but not being able to run this game is a serious obstacle for me.

Hi, i installed Flight simulator 2004 with Bottles on Linux Mint. GPU is 1080ti, drivers are 580.

For Bottles i have gaming bottle with sys-wine-10.0, dxvk 2.7.1 and vkd3d-proton-2.14.1. I downloaded some vcredist dependencies.

Good thing is the game runs, but without gpu. Any ideas how to make it use gpu? Tnx all.
