We should only support devs who are making games for our eco system?

Hi everyone,

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 on CachyOS and I'm facing a weird issue where my FPS is at 30-40.

My Setup:

• OS: CachyOS
• GPU: RX 5700 XT
• CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
• Proton: proton-cachyos-native

The Situation:

• The game runs very smooth, I have zero stutters or lags.
• FPS fluctuates heavily between 30 and 40 FPS in the city.
• Even if I enable FSR Frame Generation or lower the graphics settings, it stays at exactly 30-40 FPS.
• VSync is turned OFF in the game settings.
• Maximum FPS limit is turned OFF in the game.

Currently, got a 7800X3D, RTX 5080, SN850X SSD booting Pop OS for two weeks now.

The only AAA games that I've confirmed that runs better here in Linux is Red Dead Redemption 2 and Dying Light 1.

May I ask what more games besides Old or 2D (Silksong, Balatro, Hades and Vampire Survivors), AAA Games that looks good that would run better with my Nvidia GPU and the graphics are cracked all the way up?

Hello

I'm new to Linux and not very tech savvy so I don't even know how to start fixing this issue. The problem is when ever I play any steam game on my laptop it works perfectly fine but the moment I plug in a second monitor not matter the size of said monitor, my games will open and sometimes even load but after a 2-3 minutes will freeze and I will get a error message saying the game file name is not responding. Here are my specs in case that matters

Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.8 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.4.1 vt: 7 dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0

I'm sure this story gets told a lot here... The enshitification of Windows in particular and Microsoft in general means I'm looking for somewhere else to do my gaming and I really want to give Linux a proper go.

I've been looking around at different distros and, guys I'm a bit lost and choice paralysis is kicking in. Someone should make a distro picker (I'd do it myself but I don't know nearly enough about why you'd choose which ones).

So far I've been eyeing, in order of discovery:

1. Bazzite. Seems an obvious choice because gaming but I heard a lot of chatter about it being pretty locked down and as a dev I feel like that would bother me. I don't want to have to run everything via the command line but I also don't want to be told "you can't do that" by my OS. I get that enough on macOS...

2. Pop_OS!. I've heard a lot of good things but one of the concerns I had was that since it's based on Ubuntu it'll always be a bit behind things and I have a nasty habit of wanting to try the latest things before it's smart to do so. N-th level stability is great but, again, not at the cost of not being able to do things.

3. CachyOS. Aside from it being Arch-based—which I believe means tends to be closer to updated?—this is just one I've heard mentioned by people who are more knowledgeable. That's genuinely as far as that goes.

4. Nobara. Just came across this one. I've heard a lot of good things about Fedora in general and it sounds like this one is gaming-focused but not in a way that will stop me from getting into trouble if I so choose. Is this the right one for me?

I'll be running it on an AMD 5900X + AMD 9070XT system so my understanding is that, in terms of hardware, I'm going to be pretty good. I already bought a new NVME to use as my boot drive for Linux (the Windows one is going on the shelf until I feel comfortable saying it's dead to me).

I did mention macOS and when I'm not gaming that does tend to be where I spend most of my time but I don't have any particular need or desire for the distro I choose to be Mac-like. I've lived quite happily on all sorts of systems so as long as it doesn't look like dev designed software I'll probably be pretty happy.

One thing I did see what originally I had thought about keeping my games drive as an NTFS drive but it sounds like that's a very bad idea and I should just deal with moving things off, formatting, putting them back. I've got more than enough space on my NAS to handle it.

In case it matters, I'm not concerned about multiplayer games at this time. I assume that if that starts to become a thing again (like if BF6 takes off in my friend group) I'll just dual-boot. So all single-player games. The next game will be the latest Assassin's Creed and from what I've seen that runs fine.

So what do y'all think? Nobara? CachyOS? Something else I've never heard of?

I’m putting together a new pc and I’ve really grown to despise windows over the past few years. Tired of the AI copilot and terrible optimization, and just not feeling like I have control over my own system. My issue with Linux tho is I’ve heard many games with strong anti-cheat’s don’t really enjoy Linux. I play a wide range of games, basically anything you can think of. I’m most worried about the online casual and competitive games I play with friends such as Valorant, Fortnite, and Genshin. But perhaps it may actually be a blessing in disguise if they don’t work on Linux. Either way I’d still like to be able to play massively multiplayer games that contain anti-cheat software with my friends. If anyone can point me in the direction of the good Linux operating systems that have the widest range of games that run natively on the system, that would be amazing. Not that i think it’ll make a difference, but my specs are a Ryzen 7 5800 XT and a 9060 XT, if that’ll play any role in this.

its a 256 gb ssd with nothing just linux and genshin on it. is there anything that i can do? im playing on linux because windows doesnt give playable fps(while linux gives 50 fps om medium)

so i either need a way to get good fps on windows or do something about the linux problem

i could just try to take out like 70gbs out of my main 512 ssd and use this ssd as games only but i dont really think its possible

Recent CachyOS adopter here. I just picked up Where Winds Meet and started playing and have started experiencing some weird issues. I am experiencing an issue where the game will lock up/crash, then won't boot back up. Turns out something is going wrong, and my whole partition seems to error out until I restart the PC.

I have a nvme drive (formatted as btrfs) mounted to /home/myUser/Storage and use that path for steam and lutris for my game installs. When I have a crash occur, I can't interact with the mounted location or the drive in general (I get an "unknown error 177 in Dolphin). When I open KDE Partition Manager, the drive shows drive, but the partition shows as 0B, and shows "No valid partition table was found on this device.

Looking for advice on troubleshooting and solving this issue.

Edit1: Here's a screenshot of Partition in erroneous state

Edit2: Here's a screenshot of the healthy partition after a reboot
