I'll try to make the post short. I'm in the process of buying a new monitor and I'm deciding if I should go for a 1440p 144hz again or make the upgrade to 4K 144hz. Googling a bit tells me that the latter is not always supported, especially if you're using an AMD GPU with HDMI. Is this also the case with the RTX cards from Nvidia? I'm using a DP cable and the proprietary driver, so it shouldn't be an issue, correct? (aside from the correct DP version). I use Wayland.

Just double-checking because I don't want to spend hundreds of bucks on a monitor if I can't fully use its features.

I heard too much info and this topic seems to be on a changing matter weekly. Ive heard it was automatically implemented on any fsr3 game on a proton ge version, but on other places I hear it need optiscaler, but I also see there arent many tutorials on RDNA 2 so I wanted to ask whats the reality of fsr4 on RDNA 2 cards right now and how is its support today on linux. Thank you all beforehand

Issue:
Directly after install, while the launcher goes black, it displays some oddly strechted Blizzards logos. If I do not move the window, I can login, as some elements reappear when if go over the launcher with my mouse. Then I'm able to download/install Diablo 2R RotW and play for hours.
But after closing the game and Battle.net launcher, the next time I start the launcher from within Lutris (or moving the launcher after fresh install), the window stays black and nothing is clickable/visible/movable.

What I did so far:

• Reinstalled Battle.net several times
• installed latest Lutris from Flatpak - while the launcher works better, the game (Diable 2 Ressurected) is unplayable
• Tried to run the game by installing the Exe as non-steam game did fix the launcher issues, but the game is unplayable
• Visted https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md, they write for Black Game screen "Go to options for Battle.Net- disable streaming". But as I can not login I can't turn it off. Although I think this is only for games, not for the launcher.
• Unlike in this issue here https://github.com/lutris/docs/issues/124 I don't have any of these NVIDIA, Esync, Fsync, FSR, Anti-cheat options Edit: found the options, still nothing changed
• In configurations for the app > System options > Multi-GPU I tried enabling "Enable NVIDIA Prime Render Offload" and selected in Vulkan ICD loader "Nvidia Proprietary: NVIDA GeForce RTX 2080", but nothing changed.

Hi so this has probably been asked a thousand times maybe but i just really don't know anymore what is best for me. I am sick of windows cause when i use it longer it just gets worse and now with new bloated stuff and the ceo being a pdf i switched to linux. I used bazzite for a while now which is def not bad but it's so restricting and like using a canon as webcam is already complicated to set up there cause it kept denying access to my own files. So i tried nobara but it is also meh. Now i switched to fedora and somehow broke it cause it doesn't start anymore. So like the title my main question is what is everyone else's experience and if there are content creators who game a lot what do you use?
Thanks for anything in advance :)
(it is fine if i have to download stuff and tinker a bit as long as i find tutorials)

Every time I check a game on ProtonDB, I see suggested custom launch options. I always wonder: How do people figure these out?

My best guess is that they check the Proton documentation and then experiment through trial and error. Or do game developers ever provide these options themselves?

Side note: I’ve noticed that many of these contributions suggest out-of-date or deprecated options. It makes me wish there was a way to up/downvote these suggestions.

What distro and tools do you use? I'm on cachyOS and I've tried:
- Twintail launcher: couldn't get it to work, maybe a clean install would fix it but I'm not so sure.
- Lutris + official launcher worked for WuWa and Endfield, but I couldn't use mods on them, plus some games don't run that way at all. I tried to follow a video guide and ended up bricking the ones that were working as well.
- AAGL and THRL, they worked but no modding support. Don't really care about modding HSR so THRL remains an option.
- I could run ZZZ as a non-steam game, but not the ZZMI launcher.

I'm considering a clean start. What setup do you guys have? Is modding even possible? Should I give up and just play normally?

so, I downloaded Ubuntu and tried to run any game, couldn't, tried to search what to do, had the suggestions to download and update drivers, saw in the drivers terminal of Ubuntu and nothing showed as available (and I updated and downloaded everything when I was first using the OS). Then I installed steam from outside the appstore built-in the OS, I was able to start terraria, but never got out of loading screen and sometimes it crashed in the loading. I already have proton installed, the games I am testing is terraria and cuphead to see if I can run something here.

I am using ubuntu 24 LTS

edit: my hardware isn't compatible with vulkan and that is making my computer unable to use proton as it should, apparently that was the problem

I finally decided to move to Linux for gaming but I'm encountering a weird issue with the game Path Of Exile.

When I try so use a spell with the input '2', it doesn't work, only works when I do "Shift+2". It works perfectly fine with all the other numbers. I'm lost!

It's an AZERTY keyboard.

on windows you either go NvidiaInspector or Registry Editor (Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > Currentcontrolset > Control > Video > (random numbers folder) > 0000 > New string value named LodAdj and you just change the value from there) but can you somehow do it on linux?

So basically i have 3 problems

1- I can't download anything other than .appimages on my laptop bcs its BIOS is locked and i cant change the OS from LINUX :/

2- Whenever i need to download roblox, i can't, because i either need a BIOS password or a terminal, and both are locked out (it used to be my school laptop, but the school forgot to unlock it when i left)

3- im bad at tech

so can any of u give me steps to download roblox on linux without any of these hassles (.appimage files are optimal)

thanks

The time of age assurance is upon us, and not just for social media - for operating systems too and that includes Linux as well of course.

Hi Everyone

I'm trying to use a 3D Spaceexplorer as joystick in Elite Dangerous.

So for i got it working in freecad with spacenavd, libspnav and spnavcfg. next thing is to make it work ingame.
Guess I should use something like input remapper but I'm not sure and im still pretty new to linux.

I've seen people do it on windows so it must be doable I just cant find any guides.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm on Nobara btw.
