Pretty much what the title say. I was playing Cyberpunk on steam without any issues, but after about 10h of gameplay, the game keeps freezing randomly, random places, random times(sometimes it freezes as soon as i load one of my saves), and i don't know what to do anymore. Only happens on Cyberpunk, i've tried elden ring, overwatch 2, Minecraft with heavy shaders, and i play it normally

I've tried changing everything, distros, configurations, full screen, borderless, DE, and nothing seems to work. Help me, please :(

My PC :

i5 3470

RX 5700 8GB(yeah, i know about the bottleneck, but i bought it really cheap)

16GB RAM DDR3

SSD NVME 512GB

So just got a 4K monitor, testing it out and stuff, things appear to be okay. Played a game, the Dead Space remake specifically, playing at usual ultra settings has it run like shit. I thought, "Okay, guess this 4K thing is a whole lot more demanding than I thought," until I looked at my GPU load being stuck at 50%. Not at all sure why this is, tested out the GPU on its own using OCCT, still stuck at 50%, including when combining both CPU and GPU. I do believe this is not a bottleneck of the CPU. Any ideas?

Specs:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

RAM- 32GB 7200hz

Monitor - Samsung Odyssey G81SF

I am currently using Debian with ZFS raid 1 mirrored disks. Is it fast enough for gaming?

At first it was a simple network problem, I thought the game was just messing with me, but now it says "request failed. Please first use repair now in the launcher for current game" I went to try repairing, didnt work, thought I was triggering anti cheat for some reason(I wasn't), I tried switching launchers, didn't work. I've been scratching my head over this for 2 days. I can't find anyone with the same issue.

I am using an asus TUF Gaming FX505DT,

AMD Ryzen 7 3750H,

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile.

I am on Garuda Mokka.

Running Nobara (Fedora) on an i9-14900K and 5070ti

The Curseforge appimage works great. Loads up, installs any version of Minecraft, MC loads fine…runs great, no problems there…

Except the mods I chose never show up in the game when I load it. They are listed as installed and active in Curseforge; even between reboots and such, but never have options or anything in the game. Am I missing something?

I just realized I don’t have optifine in the mods folder, so I’ll do that next for shaders, but I’ll post the question anyway just in case. I’m pretty sure that won’t fix the mod issue.

Any ideas? Is this because it’s running out of an appimage file and not technically installed?

I decided to switch from Windows to Linux because of Microsoft spyware, but so far all I’m getting is stress. I keep getting this error every time I try to run a game. I tried looking up tutorials, but no luck. If you could help me out, it would be much appreciated.

Made a "steam machine" out of an AMD BC 250 for my kids, for Christmas. AMA.

BIOS update was simple

Bazzite, re-based to performance image.

Cooling fans pointed in all 11 dimensions lol. Fan curve is directed by the board itself to keep up with thermals. There is a case fan pin out, on the board itself, that I have a five fan controller hooked up to.

Emptied out an old pc case and put parts in what atx landmarks were still in the case.

Runs off of a no-name 650watt PSU. Used a 24pin jumper kit for always on. Originally had it running on a very old 300 watt PSU but it died in two days of use, it was 10-15 years old from a pre-built, likely not a power draw issue, but i went big on the relpacement at 650 watts anyway.

Little janky, but I have a remote on off switch interrupting power between the wall and the PSU that acts as a power button. Its the kind you use for christmas lights.

Used a m.2 to sata converter card. I use a 1tb ssd and an old 3tb spinning drive for storage, the sata converter card works perfectly.

Cheap no name Bluetooth usb antenna, again works very well, hooks up flawlessly to a few steelseries bluetooth controllers.

Only been using it for a few days, but runs everything Ive thrown at it flawlessly so far.

I dont have any fps stats yet.

But so far runs low to mid demand games at 1440 high settings no problem.

Internet connection is ethernet.

Total cost in Canadian dollars

Case 0

Fans 30 (amazon)

Psu 60 (amazon)

Remote power button 18 (amazon)

Fan controller 10 (amazon)

1 TB SSD 85 (bought on sale before prices went up) (amazon)

3 TB HDD 10 (thrift store find)

AMD BC 250. 135 (ebay)

SATA converter card 34 (amazon)

Bluetooth USB 10 (amazon)

Was a satisfying project, kids like it, wife approved too, she has been playing portal 2 for hours on end lol.

the highest fps i get is 180 but throughout the entire game my fps is fluctuating massively, one moment it will be 160, then the next it will go down to 70. this doesn't just happen every so often, its happening throughout the entire game. only time i get consistent fps is when im on the menu. im on an rx 6650 xt with an i5-11400f on arch, i checked my gpu util and its only every at like 50%. i thought it could be a cpu bottleneck but i looked at my cpu and that's only at like 40%.
Ive also been experiencing this weird issue where every so often my game will randomly cut audio and the only way to fix it is to either restart the game or if that doesn't work, switch my audio device, restart the game and then switch it back. im using a kde Pipewire setup.

i already tried a few different launch options but nothing rly helped. here are my launch options right now:
LD_PRELOAD="" -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

So, I have a portable game on "/absolute/path/to/game/game.exe" when I run

wine "/absolute/path/to/game/game.exe" on "game" DIR it works (like it should), but running the same command on a different DIR (say the "to" DIR) it doesn't work!

I test it with other portable games I have, and they work (even with a bash script) someone knows why this is happening? and how to fix it?

I'm on Fedora 41 and Wine-staging 10.15

Thanks.

Since I switched to linux (Nobara), Steam keeps crashing regularly with the "Device memory was nearly full. Steam was using a lot of memory and has been terminated" error message. I never had this problem under Windows. What is the reason for it and how can I fix it? I am on a new pc with 16 gb ram.

So over the holidays I built a PC, choosing an MSI X870E Carbon WiFi as its motherboard. If you're considering buying one or have one this is probably a good read.

. . .

RGB. What a pain.

I installed openRGB using pacman, version 1.0rc2-5. It seemed to succesfully detect my motherboard (visible on the bottom of the program) but then failed to connect and just either crashed or did nothing. Package i2c-tools was installed previously and a kernel module loaded with sudo modprobe i2c-dev so I believe I did that correctly?

I compiled openRGB-git openrgb-git-0.9.1789.gb7230b6-1 from the AUR.

That finally seemed to do the trick and after a while I was able to get my JARGB headers working, but not all of my system's RGB...

Note that the M.2 "carbon" logo and the dragon logo do not appear to be addressable - perhaps some undocumented protocol is used for these?

BEWARE: in short if you want to control RGB using an MSI X870e Carbon Wifi, you might need to compile openRGB from source if you're on another distro that's not bleeding edge, plus, the motherboard's internal LEDs can't be addressed? --

My question: should I ever expect these internal motherboard RGB LEDs to work anytime soon or not? Thank you for reading.

I know the support list has it in there but does it lose any features? I haven't used razer for a few years and that was back on windows so I don't even know if open razer is any good or not?

I've tried everything, from installing nvcuda through protontricks, to using literally every single launch argument I could find. ( DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_NVIDIA_LIBS=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1) I have an NVIDIA GPU, so why this isn't working is beyond me. I've even installed Proton-GE! Any help would be so, so, SO appreciated. I will answer any questions as fast as possible if needed

EDIT: Before anyone asks, the game recognizes and is using my NVIDIA GPU

Greetings all.

This probably means nothing to the mass of users who already use Linux. But I thought I would just write down my experience and thoughts from jumping into Linux from windows. If it's too wordy I apologise.

I've been mostly on windows since I've been messing with computers when I was a teenager. 25 years ago now. (I feel old)

Had a small play with Linux back then but It never really amounted to much. Gave it a small go ages ago when Valve released a beta test of Team fortress 2 on Linux. I use it often for cloneing systems at work but other than that not much else.

Since Microsoft now want to keep forcing co pilot onto everyone, among other issues I have with Cloud services etc.. And since owning a steam deck I decided to just go for it. Reformatted my main drive on my pc and went for Kubuntu 24.04. As I very much like the clean KDE interface. And needed a Debian based install for some other programmes I use daily. I knew from looking that there are more gaming centric ones but I chose this one.

First thing I will say is I made things a lot more complicated for myself by trying to install the AMD drivers from their site. Was having tons of issues getting them to work, the refresh rate was all wrong. Couldn't change resolution etc. I wasn't aware that most distros seem to come with the MESA drivers inbuilt. (If that's the right term?) Which worked perfect once I realised.

Some hardware/software I have just doesn't want to work as intended. I've got a steel series headset that I can't get the chatmix to work. Though I've seen a post that suggests the next kernel updates may contain more drivers for them in the future.

As for games and such, pretty much a non issue. All of the ones I use and play seem to work flawlessly. A couple needed tweaks to install but otherwise just perfect. Both through Steam and Lutris. Oblivion remastered as an example. I was having tons of issues on Windows with it stuttering and not going past 40fps on 1080p. Now? It runs like butter at 4k. Easily past 60fps. I'm shocked at the performance increase, even with proton in the middle.

All in all I'm very happy with my current experience. I get not everything will be as smooth. But if anyone else is looking to make that jump away from Windows, honestly just go for it. And dive in. So far I have yet to find a reason to go back to my Windows install. 90% of what I need just worked. And the remaining took perhaps 1-2 hours of reading and experimenting.
