I've been using windows my whole life and I want to switch to linux but I'm just thinking of reasons why I should. Sure, Privacy and adds and all that stuff but I've managed to fix that with an autounattended.xml file and this software called Winhance. The only plus I can think of is customizability and performance, but I still want to switch but im just not sure its worth it. cause of compatibility with a few games I like. (Valorant and seige) Any advice?

Hi, I need a distro for gaming and compatibility with 32-bit games with kde or gnome desktop enviroment and mangohud or vkbasalt can work on the distro, I tried distros like : (Cachyos - Endeauvor Os - Nobara - Pika Os - Fedora), and these distros are great but for me no because most of my games is 32-bit and gta iv cannot work on them, trying to change proton version and try some environment variable or launch option, right now I use pop os and gta iv worked! But I got problems with graphics issues, anyway I need great gaming distro have compatibility with 32-bit games and the desktop environment can be kde or gnome and thanks!

I am using Lutris on Linux Mint (22.2 Zara) to play World of Warcraft and after the prepatch now I get this error message whenever I launch the game.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any easy fixes? I am not so tech savvy so I don't know how to fix this without spending huge amount of hours on this. And of course asking AI will most likely brick my pc when it starts hallucinating stuff and I follow it's bs instructions like a dummy, so I refrain from doing that.

I'm on Mint Cinnamon and used a repack from our pretty girl that works out. On Lutris with ProtonGE. I had these issues: 1. 80sec loading time 2. Freezing/crashing shortly after it launches - at language selection 3. Launching with black stripes on the sides = protonGE 9-21 fixed it - AI said it's because newer proton uses DXVK v2 and it messes up something.

• I've been told 14 and 16 run fine.
• I have all redistributables installed - Lutris handles some and pretty girl that works out also ships them with the game.

what more info can I provide?

Tried wine, proton, nothing works, both shows error. It used to work (with prime-run wine /home/username/application folder) before I upgrade wine. Only bottles works, but I can't use my NVidia GPU, although CachyOS load it on startup. Skyrim crash when I use dedicated GPU. I have to use lowest setting on integrated GPU Intel Iris XE.

I'm trying to play SM2 on cachyOS but I always get either of these errors and can only play in offline mode.

if I try to connect to play with a VPN active, i get the N-10 error. if I try to play with the VPN off, I get the "Mods Detected" error despite no mods ever being installed.

I've tried all different Proton versions to no avail, deleted the Mods and Local folders in ...\client_pc\root folder, did a complete reinstall of the game, changed dns to cloudflare but still get these errors.

has anyone else had this issue as well or what other foxes can I attempt?

Hey,

Basically this. When I play modded Cities Skylines I on steam on my fedora workstation, after a certain amount of assets installed, the kernel kills the game. Thing is that I have 32GB of ram and a very decent CPU. Has this happened to you before? I increased the swap file and tried so that the system would use less ram, but alas.

Perhaps I should buy more ram?

I switched to Nobara 43 a couple days ago and dual booting with windows for some games that have EAC, i was wondering which kind of games are better on Linux rather than on windows since i saw some videos where on Linux the performance are way worse than windows

I want to sincerely thank the people of this subreddit! A few months ago I posted this

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/s/BJXxeBg1Qd

asking whether to switch to Linux for gaming. The comments were incredibly helpful and I ended up going with CachyOs.

I’ve had a few problems along the way but this has been a game changer for me. CachyOs is how I imagined operating systems would be in the future 10 years ago. It’s smooth, fast and I love not getting forced updates which sometimes break something. So far I’ve had no issues with the games I’ve played (the modern Doom trilogy, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades 2 and even some older titles). Not only that but my wireless ps5 controller works better (on windows it randomly couldn’t connect via Bluetooth after some update…). At this point I don’t see myself going back to windows at all (and good riddance).

I recommend anyone who is on the fence to give it a try.

Once again a big THANK YOU to the people of this sub!
