Hello.

I'm looking for a gaming laptop under 600€. What's the best gpu/cpu combo I can hope for in that budget ?

So recently I installed Lubuntu LTS 24.04 and decided to play minecraft java, but on any launcher I tried (for example XMCL) there is no sound in game on verisons lower than 1.19, doesn't matter with or without optifine, or what resourspacks are used, there is no sound, I also tried using java 8 but no results, anybody knows how to fix this? I use pulseaudio audio system, and intel uhd graphics as gpu

I am going to switch to CachyOS soon (when i get an external SSD for my Windows install (fuck kernel-level anti-cheat, can't my Friends not play valorant or fornite?)), but i run an Acer Nitro V15 laptop that has various performance profiles on its windows-only software, so i'm scarse that maybe i can't turn on performance mode basically locking me out of my dGPU or balanced mode not starting when unplugged, this making battery Life even more ass than It already Is. Is there an alternative or Is It not needed directly?

Hi. I have tried to install Genshin Impact on my ASUS NUC 15 (NUC15JNLU9X6) and the closest I got to success was in an installation via lutris but the game would freeze frequently and I could release it by switching to another window and back to the game and after I closed the game the mouse cursor would remain as it was in the game and nothing was clickable until I killed all of its processes with 'kill -9'. I also tried Bottles and AAGL but so far nothing worked so I removed all the traces I could find of the game (removed Bottles, AAGL, Heroic and Lutris and all folders containing Genshin files)

I already have Steam in that computer whic successfully runs a bunch of Linux native Steam native games, some Linux native non-Steam games and aven some dosbox games.

Any ideas?

The AMD BC250 is an ex-crypto mining board featuring a cut-down variant of the PS5's "Ariel" APU. It integrates 6 Zen 2 cores at ~3.5GHz and a 24CU RDNA2 iGPU (codename "Cyan Skillfish") with 16GB of shared GDDR6 memory. Performance sits in the RX 6500 XT range, and units are currently available for $100-120.

At current pricing, the BC250 represents one of the most cost-effective entry points for Linux gaming. However, the BC250 community has been growing rapidly, and all technical information was fragmented across Discord channels. Setup procedures, kernel compatibility, Mesa requirements, BIOS configurations, and hardware compatibility data were scattered across hundreds of messages, making it difficult to find reliable information or distinguish tested solutions from speculation.

I've compiled the community's collective knowledge into structured, searchable documentation.

https://elektricM.github.io/amd-bc250-docs/

Documentation includes:

• Distribution-specific setup guides (Fedora, Bazzite, CachyOS, Arch, Debian)
• BIOS flashing procedures and VRAM allocation configuration
• Hardware compatibility matrices (power supplies, cooling solutions, display outputs)
• Driver configuration (RADV setup, kernel parameters, Mesa requirements)
• Systematic troubleshooting guides
• Game compatibility database with performance metrics

Collaboration needed: This hardware ecosystem evolves quickly. The documentation is designed to be community-maintained:

• Direct GitHub integration - edit button on every page
• Hardware compatibility testing (PSUs, cooling, displays)
• Game performance benchmarking
• Kernel and Mesa compatibility tracking
• Technical corrections and updates

If you're running BC250 hardware or testing compatibility, your contributions help keep the documentation accurate and current. Even single data points (confirmed hardware, tested games, working configurations) are valuable additions.

GitHub repository: https://github.com/elektricM/amd-bc250-docs

This is a technical platform with specific quirks and requirements, but for those interested in accessible Linux gaming on non-standard hardware, it's a capable option with growing community support.

Hey there,

Player on Linux exclusively here (Steam with Proton, on CachyOS). I was considering buying one of these multiplayer games before realizing they both have anti cheat systems... At the moment, ok they seem to work fine, but I'd rather buy a game that I can still play in the coming months, and support a company that is involved in Linux gaming. Do we know if developers are actively making their games to work on Linux, or is it just by chance ?

I’m looking for a laptop to play games on the go.

Steam deck crossed my mind BUT I play a lot of CS2, not sure if it’s practical

Which laptops would you consider good choices to play games with? Maybe with AMD gpu would be a good start point.

Let me know your thoughts

Hi everyone,

I’ve built a living-room HTPC with a Ryzen 9700X and an Nvidia 5080. I’m honestly tired of Windows, even though I’ve tuned it as much as possible. I’m running Steam in fullscreen mode, using AutoHotkey for window switching and controller-based shortcuts, and a bunch of other quality-of-life tweaks. But there’s always something that forces me to grab the mini-keyboard, the mouse, or fix something that suddenly stopped working.

So I’ve decided to move everything to Linux with Bazzite. I know I’m going to lose around 15–20% of performance in DX12 titles, but I think it’s worth it if I can finally get that true “console-like” experience—just pick up the controller and play. Without that, I don’t even feel like sitting on the couch; I’d rather just use my PC.

Here’s the problem: my TV is a Samsung Q80R 65", and it only supports HDMI 2.0. That means my choices are either 4K 60Hz or 1440p 120Hz. I know this is personal preference, but for a living-room setup with a 65" TV (I sit about 5–6 meters away), what would you choose and why?

Any advice regarding resolution, Linux/Bazzite, or anything else you think I should consider is very welcome.

Don't pay attention to Harry Potter, my girlfriend watched it on TV :D

Thanks!
