The Problem

YouTube is a Single-Page Application (SPA) that loads new videos dynamically without a full page refresh. Because of this, MPRIS often does not detect video changes and metadata updates.

Our Solution's Approach

Seeking updates MPRIS.

On first frame loaded or PlaybackState 'play' we forcibly seek to the current position.

i want to know the best distro for gaming that can run the following games:

cs2

rdr2

battlefield 6

dayz

my summer car

war thunder

and many more modern titles with a little bit worse performance than windows but preferrably better also im not really a tech savvy i can get stuff done but still this linux thing is new for me

the reason im trying out linux is cuz my dad wants me to know how linux works wich by the looks of it is really interesting OS also im going to be installing windows on a another hard drive just so in case linux doesnt support JUST that singular game

Hi im using my gpd win max 2 as my primary laptop for productivity and gaming.

I have tested bazzite, catchyos and nobara (desktop and handheld modes) and im looking for one that offers best of both worlds.

my checklist

-boots into desktop version WITH PASSWORD, very important for security

- has seamless return to gaming mode option, with support for all of steam os features, deckyloader etc

- has password screen at wake up from sleep (left pc for a while or just taken it back out to work on)

- if the fingerprint sensor also works amazing but not a dealbreaker (i saw the linux drivers were released for 7840u model which i have)

any suggestions? im not super tech savvy so if theres a build out there with this preconfigured that would be great.

i tried the mod with bazzite that boots into deskop mode not gaming mode, which works great HOWEVER it lacks passwords from sleep and log in

Dear community,
We’re a small indie team working on Savior Syndrome: The Crimson Sun — a game inspired by Disco Elysium in both mechanics and presentation.

One of our key goals is to ensure solid Steam Deck support. Right now, we’ve managed to achieve a stable ~57 FPS without any noticeable loss in visual quality.

I’d like to ask you as players:
Is this framerate comfortable for you on Steam Deck?
Should we sacrifice some visuals and post-processing to push performance even further, or is 57 FPS already good enough for a slower, dialogue-focused game without fast-paced action?

Your experience and opinion mean a lot to us. Thank you!

Hey all,

I found a good deal for a 3070 8gb in my area and wanted to make a living room PC for a family member of mine and wanted to install bazzite OS or something similar to have something that can be easily used with a controller. I also want to have a seperate drive for windows for pcvr, which should be fine enough with the gpu (hopefully). I originally wanted to get a 6700 or 6700xt but it made more sense to spend less for more performance.

Any issues i would run into with bazzite or linux in general with a 3070? or anything with having a seperate drive with windows that i should be aware about?

thanks.

I keep my Windows desktop at my brothers due to the lack of space in my studio and just use my laptop running Arch as my daily driver. My friends have asked if I can play Apex Legends with them again and mentioned Steam Link as a possibly solution, but will it work?

I might set up Steam Link anyways, want to play Skyrim and Witcher 3.

Ok folks I just installed Bazzite OS as my primary system. Got everything running and then found out I cannot run Fortnite due to kernel anti cheat. Before you hate on me, I play Fortnite with the family it’s our thing. Everything else I plan to run on Bazzite.

So is it feasible to setup a partition on my ssd and run a windows 10 system just for Fortnite? If so can anyone recommend some instructions? I don’t want to mess anything up and literally just need this partition big enough to run Fortnite with the family but everything else will be based on Bazzite.

I'm always willing to improve performance as competitive player. So when I play Deadlock I have these launch options:

gamescope -w 1920 -h 1440 -f -S stretch -r 300.0 --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --immediate-flips --mangoapp -- gamemoderun %command% +fps_max 0 +exec autoexec.cfg

And when I play single games, like Oblivion Remastered:

LSFG_PROCESS=Oblivion %command% gamemoderun %command%

And when I play anything.. I use:
gamemoderun %command%

But I'm not really sure if I'm using 100% of performance I can use.. If someone have different and cool launch options, I'd appreciate you if you will share it with community, because right now this topic isn't standardized. If you open ProtonDB - you will see a lot of different launch options from everyone, for example:

game-performance %command%

PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 gamemoderun gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 240 -f --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 taskset -c 0-7 gamemoderun PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_MEDIA_USE_GST=1 %command% -dx12

So, if anybody can provide good info or links, I'd really appreciate you!

I know this sub is filled with these questions all the time but i'm at a loss on what to actually go for here.

I'm currently on W11, i've been messing around with some distros before but i've had some weird issues.

Tried Pop_OS but man, i really really really disliked that distro, it was something with the DE that i absolutely didn't like. I tried to install KDE on it, but after i did that all of my windows that i opened, like the file explorer, steam, games in general, they just shut down for absolutely no reason.
Before i tried to use it as it was i had issues with games not running that well, i'm not really sure as to why. Weird spikes in games happening and it somehow felt "sluggish" kinda. I also had problems with fighting games feeling like they didn't run at the right refresh rate (since they're locked at 60fps and my monitors are 144hz) but i did figure out that i had to get LACT and put a high profile on my GPU which solved the issue.

I've been on Mint as well, i do kinda like it, i'm running Mint on my "craptop" which gave it completely new life. But gaming on Mint was a hassle for me. In some games, especially Dota 2, i had issues with the taskbar being on top over the game which made it hard to play. Counter-Strike 2 just refused to open up on my main monitor and ALWAYS opened on the secondary monitor. I don't know if that was a dual monitor issue or what since i do use two monitors (and this could maybe be an issue on other distros? altough i didn't have that issue on Pop). However, i didn't have the same refresh issue on Mint with fighting games, they just worked with no tinkering of LACT needed.

The taskbar thingy happened in other games outside of Dota as well, i'm one of those people that rather play in Borderless Windowed mode since i sometimes tab out to check stuff on Discord and similar. Sure i could go fullscreen but that means i have to tab out and that isn't ideal in games like CS, Dota, Deadlock and whatnot.

I did try to install Ubuntu for a while but there was just issues with installing stuff, especially Steam for me. I might have done something wrong which i'm not sure about, but getting Steam up and running was a nightmare.

I also tried Nobara really quick, but for some reason all of the games i installed just got uninstalled for some reason after a restart, and yes i did check so my drives was mounting on boot. I have 2 NVME drives, one i want to have mostly for the OS and other stuff, and one drive that is purely for games. After the reboot i did check the other drive where games was installed on and that drive was just completely empty.

I don't only use my machine for gaming, i do sometimes do video editing and i do stream sometimes too, so i want something that works well for that.

My machine is also a full AMD Rig, running a Ryzen 5 5600 paired with a RX 7700 XT so gaming shouldn't be an issue.

I've been eyeing CachyOS for a while but i just want recommendations as to what to go for here.
I don't mind going for something that does require some tinkering since i do like doing that kind of stuff. I do have a Steam deck and the SteamOS in general is super fun to play around with.

The only things i want out of the OS is basically, being able to game on it and being able to video edit and stream.

What would be the best to go for in that case?
Also a question here, what would be the benefits of going for a distro that is immutable versus one that isn't?

I recently came to enjoy playing dosbox games, but some of the later ones rely on the Glide API. And the only hint at a Linux implementation is the rumored Grover which doesn't seen to exist.

What is your setup for this? Dosbox + Wine + nGlide? How do I set it all up? It's honestly ridiculous.

I finally got too fed up with Windows and its antics. So I've recently installed Brazzite and it works pretty well but I feel that it's kinda restrictive when compared to other distros. I'm thinking of switching to CachyOS but I want to know about the performance differences and if its as locked down as Brazzite.
