Windows 11 gives me the ick personally. Fullscreen is vastly better; I don't wanna see your windows 11 you know? If anything would be cool to see someone using linux. Using like KDE plasma or something.

I have seen this asked all the time and have experienced it myself. If you are dual booting and have steam games installed on your windows storage device, move the installation over to the linux side. Some games run fine, but many games will fail to launch. Simply follow the Steam instructions on how to move the installation files.

I hate using Windows and recently started moving things over to a Linux Mint dual boot. My computer is mostly used for gaming among a few other hobbies but some of the games I’ve tried playing just don’t seem to run well despite my full AMD system which I figured would work well with the built-in drivers. Instead I get a choppy experience even when it says I’m getting 100+ fps. I’ve tried running CS2, Helldivers 2, Arc Raiders, and others and all games seem to have the same choppiness. I’m not sure what to do about it and have to stick with Windows for gaming until I can get a better Linux experience. If anyone has any recommendations I’d really appreciate it.

Hello! I started using CachyOS with KDE Plasma on my pc, and my laptop, and it's absolutely amazing! But I wanted to asked if it's possible to set a script, or a startup thing, when I connect my laptop to a TV is it possible to auto start steam big picture? Only want it if the tv connected, because I also use this laptop to work etc.

Hi all!

So I am just about to get a new gaming rig with the following components:

• AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core
• MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E Micro ATX AM5
• PowerColor Hellhound OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
• Kingston KC3000 2.048 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME
• Kingston Fury Renegade 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32
• Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17
• be quiet! Pure Power 12 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX PSU
• ARCTIC P12 Max 81.04 CFM 120 mm Fans
• Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower

I have ordered these components but we'll see what happens with the RAM (fingers crossed) so I haven't put this together just quite yet. And I'm still contemplating on what OS to get.

My question to you is: Is this a good setup for a linux gaming system? What distro would you recommend? My main goal is to play games on this thing with 1440p (screen AOC G3 Q27G3XMN so HDR-gaming as well) with as high settings as possible. I am aware of some restrictions (new Battlefield not working on linux) but is there something else I should be aware of?

I am running PoP_OS! on my laptop which I use to write this question but I only have bad experiences with linux running on a desktop. My old desktop setup has Nvidia 1070 on it and I think someone somewhere may have said that older GPUs and Linux don't mix very well together. I tried running a Control on it but it didn't work at all (maybe 10fps). On a windows 10 it was running very well. There were other games that just didn't run very well on Bazzite (the distro that I used to do the testing) but you probably get the idea. So I am trying to benchmark how these components I mentioned above would fare with linux against windows. Apparently during the last 10 years there's been a lot of development.

I know it is possible to play roblox on Linux using sober, vinegar or something like that but I have some extra question and when i tried sending and email to roblox i just got answered by an AI on the help page but my questions are these:

"Hello, I am switching from Windows to Linux (Linux Mint Cinnamon) and I have some questions about playing Roblox.
I heard about programs called Sober and Vinegar to run Roblox on Linux. Is using them allowed, or could it lead to a ban? Can i get problems with the anticheat just by being on Linux or using the programs?
I also heard Wine (also a program to play on Linux )was prohibited because of cheating. If I use Sober or Vinegar just to play normally, could I ever get banned if these programs become prohibited at the same time that I'm playing a game?"

This is what i tried to send them but the AI was basically useless.

II am forced to use Heroic for Epic Game Store becase Lutris devs are unable to fix Epic support for months now.

When running installed Epic game in Heroic with latest Proton there is black screen.

After adding the game manually to Lutris and choosing the same Proton, it runs properly. There is no black screen and everything is visible as supposed.

Does anyone know what may be the issue here? In both apps default settings are used when installing and running games. Is is possible to use Lutris instead of Heroic or am I doomed to install games using Heroic and running them using Lutris?

About a month ago i was looking for a crosshair overlay and couldn't really find anything that suits my needs, so i created one that does. It had to be 1) uncomposited and 2) working in (almost) every game.

So i present to you: Krosshair, it's a vulkan layer so it should work with every dxvk/vkd3d/native vulkan game.

https://github.com/krob64/krosshair

It works the way Mangohud does. Set KROSSHAIR=1 and start your game. Changing the crosshair is possible with KROSSHAIR_IMG=/path/... and you can change the size your crosshair with KROSSHAIR_SCALE=1.0, though not recommended due to the usual scaling issues.

I'm building a spare parts PC and would like to try my hand at running Linux on it. Instead of doing my due diligence and searching the web for information I figured I'd come straight here.

This computer will be primarily used for light gaming by my wife and daughter. I'm running a 9700k and 5060. In windows, you have the option to set your power/performance modes. Does Linux have anything like this?

I'm looking into to moving from windows to Linux on my laptop to see if I can get used to it. What distro is easiest and best to use for general use and gaming. Ideally one that comes with drivers ready for gaming so I don't have to mess around for hours.

I have currently installed bazzite os as it is great for gaming but I am unable to install files from the internet as the system cboot is read only?🤷🏻‍♂️

That's pretty much it, 1: gaming (includes all drivers if possible)(intel and Nvidia) 2: general everyday use (be able to install applications easy)

Any help would be great thank you!

Hey guys, what's up!

Following the recent steam machine announcement I've been migrating from Windows to Linux (dual boot for now), Proton is amazing! It's been about a week daily driving Bazzite and I have very few problems with it.

Thing is, I like Zorin OS for a few reasons, and I would like to migrate to that distro. However When I did it The "Windows + P" shortcut for monitor swapping had but two options: Mirror and extend.

In Windows, I had the options to mirror, extend and also *display image in a single specific monitor of my setup*, which is for me a very important feature.

I noticed that Bazzite Also has this option and it works just fine.

My question is (as a linux newbie): This monitor management is specific to Bazzite? Or does it depend on something else? I´d love to run Zorin OS if that feature was possible there.

i just swapped off NVidia and on to amd, uninstalled all nvidia drivers and installed the amd ones and i have no clue how to enable GPU scaling. There seems to be no radeon GUI or anything of the sort where i could enable it.

SEGA and Two Point Studios revealed today that not only will the Two Point Museum: Zooseum DLC be the biggest yet but it's also arriving really soon.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

My current headset just died and I'm looking for a new Bluetooth headset. I looked around a bit myself and found the Logitech G535 headset on black, which seems pretty good and it was not too pricey. However I couldn't find anything about if it was compatible with Linux or not. Does anyone know if it works with Linux?

If it doesn't work, or if anyone has better suggestions for headsets, I'd love to know!

The issue is kind of confusing for me, like it works and doesn't.

My RX 7600 can be set to 162w(after enabling overclocking) But during games (CS2 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered), mangohud shows game reaches only upto 145w(which is max if AMD overclocking is not enabled).

If I open LACT and alt tab and set power to 145w and then to 162w again, then mangohud shows it reaches 162w but after a minute or so it returns back to 145w.

I even tried resetting all settings. Then increasing it to 162w again. But same. Stays for a while and then drops back to 145w.

Is it something with mangohud or lact or my system?

My system: CPU: Ryzen 5 7500f

GPU: RX 7600

RAM: 16gb DDR5 crucial pro 6400MT/s

Mobo: Gigabyte B650M K

SSD: Netac NVME 512+512GB

PSU: Corsair CX650
