I used to use apps like Bigscreen VR to see my desktop and position windows and such in virtual space when I ran Windows and a HTC Vive Pro VR headset. Does such an app exist for Linux?

My hunch is no due to the nightmare of competing DEs and window managers and things but I would love to be proved wrong

I have a 5070 Ti and 9800X3D and use CachyOS. As of today can I comfortably run Monster Hunter Wilds or are the issues still there?

Any recommendations in the $80-$130 range?Looking for a new gaming headset, mostly for use in FPS multiplayer games and Discord. Looking at SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3XW but tough to find any info on Linux compatibility, or is that even an issues with headsets?

I would like to turn a SFF PC I have to a “steam machine” and I am trying to decide what version of Linux to put on it. I have zero experience with Linux so would like something easy to setup and use. The PC is a HP Engage Flex Pro, i7-8700, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3050 with a 4TB NVMe and 1TB HDD. It currently has Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC but from what I have been hearing online, Linux should give me slightly better performance with a more seamless gaming experience when coupled with SteamOS. I also have a Steam Deck that I use docked, so I would love to mimic the Steam Deck experience as much as possible.

Video and VR work fine, but there's no sound. The PC is basically a headless Sunshine host and when I enter a moonlight session I can hear the audio. What can I do?

When I'm launching witcher 3, after loading into the game, every time, exactly after around 20-22 seconds, the frametime goes crazy and it starts stuttering really bad (look at the frametime graph, but in the end you can see to the naked eye this massive stuttering when I move the camera).

When I launch it with gamescope, it doesn't do that stutter.

Why is it happening?

GPU: RX9060XT 16GB

Hi there,

Title, I am fortunate to have a 5090. The thing is that it has a particular affinity with setting itself on fire.
So I wanted to undervolt it at 860mV for W reduction following those results https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1isi8ir/rtx_5090_fe_undervolt_results/

Do you have any advice ?
Thanks for the answers

I'm kinda looking to primarily use EndeavourOS or CachyOS, but haven't installed it yet cuz no idea which is better for my RTX 4050. But there's one thing that's bothering my mind. I often extract assets from UE games for wiki stuff, but apparently FModel is Windows only. I can dual boot but getting it run on Linux is more convenient (just in case if I want to fully move from Windows later). Does anyone use FModel here? I wonder if it works with Proton, considering it's not a game.

Been playing TOW2 on 9800X3D/5090/ArchLinux, and it's been rock solid... except that you need ray tracing enabled, otherwise the game just hangs. Kind of annoying because ray tracing tanks performance...

Has anyone figured out a way to play it without having ray tracing enabled? Or atleast have an explanation to why it's needed? I haven't encountered this issue in any other game.

Hi,

I was using Linux Mint with my AMD GPU, favorite distro so far. Then I got my Nvidia GPU and moved to a Debloated Windows because of the DX12 / general performances lost.

Since then, we have open-source drivers building up and the DX12 issue will soon be fixed, so I think it's finally my time to come back .. + Windows is a very frustrating experience.

If I understand, KDE is the way to go for Wayland and VRR, but I never used KDE and I'm afraid to get lost. I would like some advice from you, thanks.

Im using an RX 6600 and Ryzen 5 3600. I installed the game from Heroic Games Launcher
The game for some reason when i take a look at my gpu and cpu usage, its using 30% and 24% respectively. i disabled VSync, Turned off both FSync and ESync from Heroic, and havent changed anything else. Anybody knows what causes this and the possible solution to this problem?

I'm currently trying to run Waven on Linux via Steam and Proton. Everything works fine except for one thing... The game seems to miss some frames every second.

My specs : - Intel core i7 13 gen - Nvidia rtx 4070 - Ubuntu 24.04.3 - Niri (a Wayland WM)

What I have tried so far: - run without graphic card enabled (prime) - turn on/off vsync - use PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 launch option - tried several refresh rate (60, 144, 240)

Any help is welcome !!

Okay, this one is weird. Every time I launch MC, regardless of launcher *(I've used Curseforge, Prism, and the MC launcher for linux)* it'll run fine for a bit, and then either the entire system freezes or the application closes (the former has stopped happening lately).

I can even get into a server for a few seconds before the crash every now and again, anyone got any suggestions?

EDIT: Forgot to say that I'm using Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon.

The Qualcomm Adreno 825 GPU is part of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC in Smartphones and just came out in April 2025. But many vendors already offer it in middle class smartphones.

MediaTek supports this feature in their even more affordable budget SoCs namely the Dimensity 8300 and 8400 SoC in the form of Arm's Mali-G615 or G720 GPU.

Usually Ray Tracing is told to consume lots of energy but this is wrong. If implemented closer to fixed function hardware it is possible efficiently at low watt consumption. Imagination Technologies demonstrated this many yeargs ago way earlier before Nvidia's marketing made RT go mainstream. Imagination Technologies offers licenses for up to level 5 ray tracing in their mobile GPU architectures which can be obtained by GPU vendors worldwide. Those can be combined with Arm and RISC-V CPUs and other ISAs.

Another prominent example of highly efficient ray tracing is the Switch 2, which consumes only 10 watts compared to the Steam Deck's 25 watts.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly the spread and adoption of new hardware features like these seems to happen way faster in arm based smartphone devices in comparison to desktop PCs.

It would be interesting to see Steam OS or another game focused Linux Distro running on such smartphones and to utilize these kind of features. This surely would depend on many factors like a proper ecosystem, wayland, emulation, translation and other things like porting dxvk, vkd3d, proton and the steam client to arm.

Is this too far stretched or would it be possible?
