I saw Cable Matters VRR7100-based DP-to-HDMI2.1 and DP-to-HDMI2.1 female converter using Chrontel CH7218 chip that have working VRR in Linux (with some kernel patch).

I have Cable Matters VRR7100-based USB-C to HDMI2.1 cable, with this spyder_fw_usbc_cm_7-02-120_35th.fullrom firmware. The cable has working VRR in Windows, with 4K120Hz+10bitHDR, but no VRR in Linux.

I have enforced FreeSync activation by hard-coding the kernel DRM code, but it keeps flickering sometime when switching vertical frequency, or going out of sync.

I could not find any USB-C to HDMI2.1 cable (or female converter) that has working VRR in Linux. I use the cable for AMD iGPU which I use for the main display in Linux (dGPU is for Windows VM VFIO and Grahpics/Computation offload only). I have no idea whether USB-C (DP Alt.) to DP converter will work for the above DP-to-HDMI2.1 cables as the USB-C to DP conversion is not just wiring.

Can you guys recommend me a solution or product? Any suggestion would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

My audio works perfectly fine pretty much everywhere, however in Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R (steam), 3rd Strike, and Jojo HFTF (fightcade) I get nothing. I also tried DOA2 on fightcade and it worked?

Hey all I’m debating switching to pop os on my main desktop and I’m just wondering how much Performance you lose in direct x titles and is there any issues with nvidia on Linux as I’ve only recently started using Linux on my laptop.

I recently bought a used Valve Index, because I wanted to play No Man's Sky with it. Unfortunately, that doesn't work at all. I briefly get the small preview window indicating that the game is supposedly starting. I can see the GPU powering on initially. However, no program launches. After a few seconds, it sends me back to the home screen.

I really don't understand why the game won't start. I don't get any error message, not even it didn't work. I've already tried searching online for the reasons, but unfortunately I can't find a suitable answer.

I've already switched the Proton version to Experimental and made sure it's installed. I've also switched Steam to Beta. Neither of these things helped.

Gemini and ChatGPT seem to be delusional about this issue, and I keep noticing that nothing useful comes out of this question either.

The second problem is that I have no sound at all, and none of the tested distributions detect a speaker. Only the microphone is listed.

Does anyone have any ideas, or perhaps even some personal experience with this? Is there really no other solution besides buying Windows again?

So far I've tried it on Fedora 43, Bazzite and CachyOS.

My PC have a AMD Ryzen 9 7900 CPU and a RTX 5060 Ti GPU with 16GB VRAM.

Many thanks for help!

Simply put i'd like to know, is there a distro out there that works with like 99% of windows stuff out there?

And i mean actually work, not Download this flatpack run this trough wine install another flatpack turn on Virtualization in bios Partition your Discs into 7 seporate parts for different instances of windows and then switch between em as needed.

Im sorry if this is a bit of a disrespectfull post / question, but i've tried to make this work only to nuke my entire PC yesterday and went back to windows 10 because shi is just easier to deal with.

I dont have the time or energy to become a linux wizard.

Im a simple guy who wants to enjoy new and old games just for the simple fact of enjoying them.

Not spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get my neache translation tool to work on linux... seriously ... that shi is impossible. (the program it self is not important the entire ordeal of the things that worked for me in the past simply not being available or outright refuseing to work without learning wizardry is simply maddening.)

If this question is anwered some where allready i'd appreciate a link to it before this gets deleted.

Chivalry 2 got a Christmas update that didn't really change anything but after this update I started getting the error "EOS AntiCheatClient Violation detected. Type: ForbiddenSystemConfiguration. Message: Could not locate game executable entry in the catalogue. (Chivalry2-Win64-Shipping.exe)". Also I'm on CachyOS and I have the game installed with Epic Games through Heroic Games Launcher, I also tested other proton versions and nothing changed.

I've saved up some money to upgrade from my integrated graphics to a dedicated gpu, and i see a lot of people talking about the rx 7600 and the rtx 5050 as good budget cards. From what i saw off benchmarks, the 5050 performs better in most games, but i know that nvidia gpus can perform worse on linux, and amd gpus can perform better on linux (due to drivers and other stuff). Qhat do you guys recommend i buy between those two?

9950X3D, 5090, 64GB

CachyOS

I’ve tried X11 and Wayland and the problem persist on both.

Performance wise the game runs fine besides this issue, but I’ve been battling it for nearly 2 hours now without finding a fix and my return window is closing.

Anyone else run into this problem by chance?

I’m running Fedora 43 KDE and since about the last 24 hours I’ve been having a controller hot-plug issue with an 8BitDo Ultimate 2. Games no longer detect the controller if it is disconnected and reconnected while the game is already running. If the controller is already powered on before launching the game, everything works normally. Enabling Steam Input also makes the problem disappear completely, including proper disconnect/reconnect behavior.

This happens both in Steam and in games launched through Heroic, including titles that previously worked fine with native controller support. Because Steam Input works reliably, this does not appear to be a wireless, dongle, or hardware problem, but rather something breaking below the game layer.

I'm trying to run Minecraft on version 1.21.1 and every time I try to start it, even without mods, the game doesn't even open and gives an error as if the SHA is wrong. I did some research and didn't find anyone talking about this on the internet, so I resorted to chatgpt. According to it, it's:

Incompatibility bug between Forge 1.21.x and Btrfs (CoW + compression), causing temporary file corruption during processing/extraction, resulting in an incorrect SHA — it's not a Java or internet problem.

I tried to fix it using chatgpt itself, but I couldn't and I have no idea how to fix it.

This is the error: Processor failed, invalid outputs: /home/myuser/.local/share/PrismLauncher/libraries/net/minecraft/client/1.21.1/client-121.1-official.jar Expected: fd32ce5ddf1bc49a9c1a00ff73cbcb2aa7a99d18 Actual: 6254se4152aeaf33sb755c0arfbf60b1bed53Pr6

I'm using cachyos with arch deckify fully updated. I've tried proton proton GE and cachyos proton. 7800x3d 7900xtx 32gb ddr5.

Anytime I try to play Sniper Elite 5 in gaming mode, it will always show a black screen if there's no input from the mouse or if I connect a controller. It only works normally in desktop mode with the game set to windowed.

Game works perfectly fine on my wife's PC with no changes at all same setup different and hardware

So im using fedora 43 with kde. Is there any way to get better settings for nvidia? In current app i have (forgot the name, it was after installing akmod-nvidia), i have almost no options to change anything like colors or modes like performance, quality or battery saver. Basicly all stuff you have on windows nvidia control panel. Any way to get this?

New to Linux (Ubuntu), fairly new to Steam. When I am using the scroll wheel the input is inconsistent/erratic.

The behavior is similar to the wheel being dirty or a damaged mouse where certain clicks of the scroll wheel don't input. Except this can happen several scrolls in a row at times, or not at all. This is happening only in Steam, does not happen in the few other apps I use on this device. Does not happen in the Steam app menus, only in-game. Happens with multiple mice. Has been happening since dual booted the device 5 months ago.

I've tried toggling off GPU accelerated rendering, and smooth scrolling in webviews(?). Searched for updates, closed all background apps, restarted, all the usual basic troubleshooting.

CPU around 25%, RAM around 35%. (Hardware usage doesn't seem to have an impact on scroll performance.)

Happy to provide anything else. I have to boot back to windows for any game I was to use the scroll wheel regularly for, please help!
