I noticed on my RX 5700 XT few games are causing the ring gfx driver time out which freezes my screen while I can still hear the audio from the game, sometimes it resets but sometimes I have to manually reboot the PC. It happens in Witcher 3 only on DX12 after 5-30 min playtime, while on DX11 it runs flawlessly. Also I use Shadow of the tomb raider demo just for benchmarking and it does not have Linux native support like the full game, and my driver crashes in the main menu always on DX12, on DX11 I have no issues. If I limit the frames to 120 in SOTR for example it does not crash in the main menu on DX12. I first thought it is something wrong with my GPU and I tried those games on Windows but did not have any problems there, so it is something with the Linux Drivers. Anyone else is experiencing the same with other AMD cards (RDNA 2,3 and 4) or is it just RDNA 1 issue?

Currently trying out Spider Man Remastered...

The raytracing is really bad, noisy and looks glitchy as well. But it's not the first time i encountered this, it was also extremely noisy and grainy in Robocob too, and Cyberpunk (to a much lesser extent).

The performance is good, it just looks like ass. No upscaling, everything on maximum.

Does this have something to do with linux or is ray tracing just that bad in games?

CachyOS, RX 9070, proton-cachyos-slr.

I am using a laptop where I limited my cpu's power setting to reduce temps. But if I start a certain game it gets overwrited and my cpu is at max frequency again. Can anyone help me what could overwrite it? The game where I noticed this is Hunt: Showdown. I set the limit with an app called cpupower-gui. My laptop is an ASUS TUF A15 with an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS and RTX 4050. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to switch from Windows to Linux for my gaming desktop. I'm considering either Nobara or CachyOS, but I occasionally need to use VS Code and R Studio for work. I'm not very familiar with how these applications perform on those distributions. If anyone here does coding, I would appreciate your insights on this. Would it be better for me to go with something like Ubuntu or Mint instead?

Thank you in advance!

Game starts fine but after 5-10 mins crashes with no info. Running it from Steam and tried with multiple compatibility modes, set all permissions to AKA.exe - haven't found any LOG-file either. Installed real liveries but didn't make difference. Anyone any luck with this amazing game?

Nothing really worth bragging about, but a pretty big deal for me. 9800x3D on a X870E board w/ 9070 XT. Choose the parts with Linux gaming in mind.

I'm trying to decide between Zorrin and CachyOS. As a three decade plus windows user, Zorrin is right up my alley, everything still makes sense in the GUI. I've got CachyOS installed at the moment though.

Can anyone recommend some gaming / performance benchmark tools? I've run shadow of the tomb raider cyberpunk 2077, I want to run some more and then switch to Zorrin, see if the tweaks in cachyos are worth the extra setup work for a noob like myself.

Also, why the f can't I get openrgb to work? I can't get the udev script to install, so I can't control my pretty fans lol.

Been distro-hopping for a bit, landed on Kubuntu for months at one point in time, it was great, and then a Mesa update was pushed that broke everything on my system, so I had to nuke and pave. Installed CachyOS and it's just been constant unwavering issues. Audio cracking and stuff that is caused by my USB PnP microphone somehow that persists through reinstalls, and also occurs on EndeavourOS, it's just been a mess.

In addition to this, I have a Logitech G920, and I am looking for a distro with solid support for that wheel. There is a driver for it built into the kernel, but it's a bit funky. The pedals do not read like they should, and there is a deathwobble when idling. I'm hoping that there might be a distro with additions to the kernel driver that might make the wheel a bit more seamless to use.

If I really have to dual boot for racing, that's fine, because basically every other game I play works without a hitch on Linux, sim racing is just frustrating, as I'm at a constant disadvantage. I have spent probably 10 or 12 hours troubleshooting this stupid audio issue, and I cannot fix it for the life of me. Between AI, forums, etc.. (Thanks CachyOS community for absolutely nothing) I have not been able to solve this issue, and I'm really not sure I understand what is causing it, other than the completely elementary idea that "my microphone is causing my audio to crack and games to lag when it's plugged in".

As such, I am really looking to solve two issues here: steering wheel functionality and audio issues. I've been looking at Pop!_OS, as I used it way way back when it first released, but now that they're all caught up in Cosmic, I have no idea what to expect from that distro, but I see it commonly in this subreddit. I also used Nobara, back when it first came to popularity more than a few years back, and I know it's in decent shape nowadays.

I prefer KDE for its customizability, but I'm starting to lean in towards heavily customized GNOME, so I could really do either.

Thanks for reading! Any thoughts?

Hi, I switched to CachyOS a couple of days ago and I've been testing games on Steam, and this one in particular is the only one that crashes. It lets me open the game, play for about 2-3 minutes, and then it crashes. I've tried Proton Experimental, the GE version, the native version, and the Linux runtime version. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Hey folks. Im a newish Linux user. Recently made to full switch from windows. Been playing Minecraft Bedrock just fine with no issues until today. Went to play and the *NIX launcher gave me some mod to install. No name just "mod 0.0.2". I installed it and instantly had issues. It restarted the launcher, logged in like usual, and then the game would crash back into the launcher debug dialog screen saying it crashed due to "unix signal number 6". No amount of searching for this specific error in conjunction with the unofficial launcher gave me any help or hints towards fixing the issue. So i uninstalled the launcher, restarted my computer and reinstalled the launcher. Now it just brings up the update dialog box and when i click confirm, it just shuts down. I tried running it thru Terminal, "sudo flatpak run io.mrarm.mcpelauncher -v", to see if it gave any details and no such luck. I also tried denying Wayland and forcing X11 and again no luck. If it helps i installed Linux Mint on my old gaming system as i got tired of it just sitting and not being used. Currently running Asus Crosshair V Formula - Z, FX-9370 cpu, EVGA GeForce GTX960 (2GB edition), 32GB DDR3 ram. The nVidia driver its running is the recommended 535.274.02, and the only other program i have on here is Plithos for music streaming. I have run update and upgrade several time, as well as the flatpak update.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

FYI: With Diablo 4, testing with the new DLSS 4.5 Preset M at Quality gives worse performance than turning DLSS off.

• CachyOS
• 5090
• PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 mangohud game-performance %command%

Lose about 10 FPS with DLSS Quality compared to DLSS Off. Also, I am seeing increased power usage with DLSS 4.5 Preset M vs DLSS off / DLSS Preset K

Edit 1:

Some quick "tests" of standing in town. DLSS 4.5 Preset M Quality performs worse than with DLSS off

• DLSS Off, 4k
  • ~235 fps
• DLSS 4 Preset K. Resolution 4k
  • Quality: ~265 fps
  • Balanced: ~285 fps
  • Performance: ~318 fps
  • Ultra Performance: ~393 fps
• DLSS 4.5 Preset M. Resolution 4k
  • Quality: ~220 fps
  • Balanced: ~245 fps
  • Performance: ~284 fps
  • Ultra Performance: ~359 fps

Additionally, I am seeing increased power draw on the card in LACT when using DLSS 4.5 Preset M Quality compared to DLSS 4 Preset K Quality and DLSS Off.

So a few weeks ago, I was playing Fallout 4 just fine on NixOS (26.05), Proton 9.0.4, with unstable nixpkgs. Now, whenever I launch a bethesda game of any kind, in this example skyrim, it will pop up the launcher menu with no text what so ever. I can find no documentation on this anywhere, have tried launching through gamemode/gamescope, and have also tried the skipping launcher trick by renaming the .exes in the program files, but to no avail. Fo4 runs fine on my steam deck, which I would assume because it's running under game scope, which sounds like a nixos issue. I'm not sure what to do here, so any help is appreciated.

I have 2 discrete GPUs in my system: B580 and 1650. The B580 is on the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot while the 1650 is on the 3.0 x4. My monitor is connected to the 1650 via HDMI because I want to save all the VRAM from the B580 for AI or use it for games that my 1650 cant handle.

I have the nvidia-driver-580 and Mesa 25.3.3 - kisak-mesa installed and it seems the drivers are fighting because I cant use the B580 to game at all, but when I have only the Mesa drivers installed it works fine.

Here are some issues when trying to use the B580: davi@davi:~$ __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.json glxgears -info pci id for fd 4: 10de:1f82, driver (null) pci id for fd 5: 10de:1f82, driver (null) pci id for fd 6: 10de:1f82, driver (null) glx: failed to create dri3 screen failed to load driver: nvidia-drm MESA: error: CreateSwapchainKHR failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED MESA: error: zink: could not create swapchain Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.

Aborted (core dumped) DXVK: DxvkInstance::createInstance: Failed to create Vulkan instance with it returning VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

I opened an issue at Mesa (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/14507) and one of the developers mentioned "reverse prime", but when I researched about it I only found out results about X11, but I am on Wayland.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm trying to launch Sable through Heroic Games Launcher, and the game crashes at launch with this error in the log. How would I fix this? I am using CashyOS (Arch Based). I am using the latest Proton fork by Glorious Eggroll.

Hi there! I wanted to know how I'd go about in terms of drivers and such, replacing my NVIDIA GPU with an AMD one. I'd delete NVIDIA drivers and install AMD? Anything special to it? I'm using the proprietary drivers, if that is necessary on Fedora Gnome.
