Recently I was looking into overclocking my GPU to gain some performance after seeing that the card runs really cold and tries to boost more in games but the current setup is very limiting. Watched a couple of guides on overclocking this model, and planned to take the preset from this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOuPNSYD918

Everything was going well for like about a minute, until I activated AMD overclocking in LACT and quickly noticed one of the parameters from all those videos missing (basically all guides use Adrenalin software to OC). While I can easily change the power limit, voltage and memory frequency, I'm missing the "Max Frequency Offset" setting present on Adrenalin, instead in its place LACT has a "GPU Clock Offset" setting, which at first I thought was the same thing under a different name, but with research quickly found out it is an entirely different setting :C

I didn't dare proceed with OC at this point because I very much suspect raising power and undervolting without the Frequency Offset setting will be unstable as hell.

I later checked out CoreCtrl but unfortunately that one has even less settings to choose.

Anyone got any other OC software recommendations or tricks to solve this, or maybe the GPU Clock Offset does the same thing as the setting I'm missing and I'm just freaking out needlessly?

Hey, a little while ago i posted about an app I was making:
3D Settings manager GUI for linux using vkbasalt and dxvk

I have finally got around to actually finishing a working version of the tool and have an appimage release on github :3

3D Settings Manager for Linux

I'd love to hear back from everyone about how it works and get some ideas for improvements.. (KDE Plasma look and feel doesn't work for some reason so it seems to default to GTK?)

I cant seem to the nightly to work. I am trying to play on the latest so I can play over LAN with my kids who are playing on the xbox. Game launches no problem on the stable build (right) but cannot connect to google with the nightly build.

Does anyone know whats going on?

I made the switch almost 4 years ago, a bit before people started migrating on significant numbers, but just when proton was starting to get insanely good.

My first distro was PopOS technically, but only for like a week. I ended up installing arch and learning Linux over a weekend because it seemed fun, and I wanted to try ricing my system too.

As the title says, I am looking into switching from Windows 11 to Linux on my main gaming pc, which is used for nothing else except gaming. It’s core specs are:

9800X3D on an Asrock x870 Riptide 32 Gigs of 6400 CL32 Kingston main memory Sapphire 7900XTX GPU

I am willing to trade in greedy EA’s Javelin kernel mode anti cheat despite being a fan of the Battlefield series, because of their greediness of not coming up with a solution, like Epic Games did with Easy Anti-Cheat or Battleye Anti-Cheat.

I am torn between choosing a gaming distro like Nobara and Bazzite, or a more main line one like Fedora or something else.

My reasoning is that, I would want to install a distro and stick with it for a long time, and Nobara and Bazzite being just a few people’s side job worries me, whereas Fedora for example has Red Hat behind it.

What is your opinion on this, and also what would you suggest based on my hardware / or if you had a similar experience.

Hello. I'd like to show off my project FlightlessSomething. The idea is based on flightlessmango.com because I was unable to build it and self-hosted due to it's age and most dependencies giving 404.

This application/website is intended to allow users to upload, visualize and share with other users their MangoHud recorded logs. It is primarily focusing on FPS and frametime metrics, their % and comparison to other runs, but also other metrics, such as CPU/GPU/RAM usage/utilization/power is also shown & compared. You can even download the whole benchmark in MangoHud logs format if you need this for whatever reason...

At first I wrote this application sort of manually, with parts being vibe coded, then I completely lost motivation to implement the rest of features I wanted, until this week, when I decided to fully rewrite it using AI (GitHub copilot agents) only. Note that I am not hiding the fact that this application is (now) completely vibe coded and I am amazed of what AI can do nowadays. :)

• Website: https://flightlesssomething.ambrosia.one/
• Source: https://github.com/erkexzcx/flightlesssomething

I would list features, but simply open any benchmark and you will quickly see what this tool is about and what it does.

I have come back to Linux after a couple years being back on Windows but I did daily drive it for a few years in the past when I played less variety of games.

I am on opensuse tumbleweed and I have an Nvidia GPU. Sound is coming through a sound blaster play 3 usb sound card, but the issue is the same when the sound is coming through mobo as well.

I have tried playing Overwatch through steam and everything is working correctly, but the audio doesn't sound quite right. Its like there is far too much bass and noises that should be quieter like some footsteps seem much louder. It also is messing with my ability to tell where things are happening, the direction of the sound is off.

Has anyone else had anything similar and know of a fix?

Ever since I switched to Linux years ago I have noticed this discrepancy that reported VRAM usage was always higher then the running processes reservations of VRAM.

Upgraded to a 9070XT this week and noticed, on a fresh boot, that the idle VRAM usage had shot up significantly compared 12Gb 6700XT. While running processes that reserved VRAM was about the same.

Here is a screenshot from amdgpu_top. Notice the discrepancy:

VRAM consumption and reservation by running processes

The reported VRAM usage is 1712Mb.
The reserved VRAM by running processes is only 809Mb.

Second oddity. A resume from suspend will drop the total reported VRAM usage to around 1400Mb, with the similar 800-900Mb process reservation/usage.

Can someone clarify what is happening and what (processes) is reserving that remaining 903Mb of used VRAM?

The native Linux version of Insurgency needed some sort of a fix to launch (I think it was one of the glibc issues, where you had to replace/link something with your system library version). But I can't find the fix anymore, since New World Interactive's forums have been taken down.

Does anyone remember what you had to do?

(Using Steam Linux Runtime doesn't work. I'm aware that the game runs with Proton, but I would prefer the native version.)

Linux Might Be The Best For Ai But Why ?

This is my reasoning for this part. I think Linux is probably the best OS For Ai because all the major Ai Chatbots are hosted on Linux based operating system.

Examples Including: ChatGPT, Gemini

Gaming On Linux

The Linux Gaming have been wildly improved over the last few years (Thanks to proton and Mesa Drivers). But we Linux Users have been lacking a real thing in gaming. Frame Generation I mean yeah we do have Frame Generation Via Proton but it is still limited to those games which truly supports it (i.e: Cyberpunk 2077), And just like AMD's Adrenalin Drivers On Windows, Which by the way supports the Frame Generation in all the DX12 Games, Why Can't both AMD and NVIDIA Rewrite the Frame Generation For OpenGL or Vulkan (Which is even more lower level than GL). This is all i want to talk to you all about in the comment section! Because i would really like to have Frame Generation on Linux if it's better for AI Compared to Windows.

Thanks For Reading - Hope You Have A Good Day 😀

Given this is a gaming sub, ig this will be the right place.

So, adobe acrobat is the only windows software i need sometimes to validate signature. I tried alternatives but nothing worked.

Installation with wine says "interrupted", I couldn't find anything on lutris either.

So, share the method if someone got new version of Adobe running.

I have had the game running in the past but recently the game will simply boot for a few seconds before closing again right away. anyone else had this issue?

Have tried multiple different proton versions (Hotfix, Experimental etc.) SteamDeck=1 launch command. verifying integrity of game files and doing a clean reinstall and at best it might work for a bit before crashing.

Hey everyone, I recently switched from windows to fedora (my first Linux install), I noticed that my pc was always hot, so I installed mission center and noticed that the fans were spinning at 3600 rpm, which it saw as 100% even though on windows it used to go well over 5000 rpm when I watched it on ghelper.

I tried a lot of solutions before coming here, asusctl, nbfc, sensors, but I can’t manually change the speed, I couldn’t in windows either, the problem is that it somehow doesn’t register the max speed of my fans properly.

Does anyone know a way I could fix that or some more details I should include ?

Which proton version, if any, will be used for games on steam when no specific Proton version is set?

https://preview.redd.it/8xeztnj7cd4g1.png?width=639&format=png&auto=webp&s=469bebbccd839374ee7de606bbffe2d64876a293

I'm no expert but i assume, that steam will ALWAYS use proton for any non-native games?

Gladly for most of my games i don't have to tinker with proton versions at all, because the games run flawless anyways.
