Hello Everyone!

Lately I got gigabyte rx 7800xt second hand, and it has a problem of not reporting the fan speed correctly, it stays at 0rpm, or 16bit integer rpm...

Under windows, I can manually force the speed using MSI Afterburner by setting the fan curve and then turning on the "A" option, which is what makes the fans start following the curve

the magical \"A\" option that starts spinning the fans correctly

That is hovewer my secondary system I use only for playing games with anticheat...

Under my Linux (NixOS) I have tried using CoreCtrl and LACT, unable to set any speed manually, doesn't matter if I set it to automatic, curve, or static speed, it seems to still rely on the reported fan speed, not just setting the pwm. Is there any way to mitigate it? any way to force the fan speed other way? I do have overdrive enabled:

amd.overdrive

here is screenshots from LACT:

lact - static

lact - curve

lact - auto

If anyone is willing to help, or share any ideas I'd be super grateful. Thank you all in advance awesome people!

I need to try more games, but what I've seen on my Debian is pretty good. What do you all think? Both distros have optimized kernels.

Bins: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-photoshop-installers/releases/tag/adobe-collections
Code: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-photoshop-installers (TLDR for changes: msxml is even more lenient than previously thought, had to patch the implementation to reflect that)

Only ones which failed to install are Adobe XD and Fresco due to them being APPX/UWP applications.

Quick How-To

Option 1: Steam Compatibility Tool (Recommended)

Extract to Steam's compatibilitytools.d folder

mkdir -p ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d

tar -xzf proton-*.tar.gz -C ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/

Restart Steam

Then in Steam:

1. Add the Adobe installer as a non-Steam game

2. Right-click → Properties → Compatibility

3. Select the extracted Proton version

4. Launch

Option 2: Standalone (without Steam)

Extract anywhere

tar -xzf proton-*.tar.gz -C ~/proton-adobe/

Set up a prefix and run

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe

export PROTON_PATH=~/proton-adobe/proton-*

Run the installer

"$PROTON_PATH/proton" run /path/to/Adobe/Set-up.exe

ever since my first time using big picture mode on linux (about a year or two ago), ive been having this issue where opening and closing the menu bar makes this black bar appear. while it dosent cause problems other than being annoying, i was hoping i could get soem help here. i assume the problem here is caused by the fact that im using an nvidia gpu since this doesnt happen on the other computers ive had that use amd gpus, but im hoping this is still something that can be fixed.

distro: arch

kernel: 6.18.5

CPU: 12th gen intel core i7-12700F

GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060

gpu driver: nvidia-open-590.48.01-7

Mesa version: mesa 1:25.3.3-2

Wayland

problem persists whether or not i use gamecope

no VRR

desktop environment: plasma 6.5.5

problem persists on both the native and flatpak versions of steam.

The vast majority of pre-rendered videos now play fine in vanilla Proton in my experience. But for the few games that still have problems (particularly with wmv videos), switching to the newest version of GE-Proton no longer seems to be the automatic fix it use to be. Either the game freezes where the video would otherwise play, or it plays but there's no sound.

Most recent example for me is Ninja Blade. The intro movie (wmv/wma) shows a test pattern on Proton 10.0-3, freezes on GE 10-28 and 9-27, video but no audio on GE 7-55, and GE 6-21 plays it correctly.

I don't know much of anything about how codecs work. I'm just wondering if maybe it's because of a legal complaint by MS or something technical. Weird to me is that there's also discrepancy in media players — in desktop mode Haruna plays the above video fine, but with VLC there's no audio.

I’m confused as to how this interferes with my 8bitdo Ultimate controller and if there is anything I can do to be able to have xone installed and be able to use my 8bitdo as well

Hi all, I just got a new Sapphire RX 9070 and upgraded from Debian 12 to 13. I’ve been using Debian full time for the past year or so and thought I knew what I was doing… but boy was I humbled. Had some issues upgrading it, but as that’s my main question, I’ll link it below.

Basically, I made the switch from an rtx 2080 to the RX 9070 trying to get a GPU before prices skyrocket. Found out later I needed to get to Debian 13. (Here’s my journey: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/s/piouYodbEN).

I’ve gotten all my issues resolved except in the gaming arena. I can run a game in Lutris and some games in Steam. But when I run them in Steam, it can be kinda stuttery and sometimes even screen tearing.

I’ve purged all NVIDA, I’ve made sure my mesa drivers are up to date from the distro offerings, and installed firmware-amd-graphics. I’ve reinstalled every library and driver related to gaming I can think of or are recommended off the Debian Steam and GPU pages. I also reinstalled all Vulcan drivers (which helped me get two of the games to launch).

My kernel is 6.12 and I’m noticing that people are recommending 6.13 and above.

I’d like to stick with Debian (and stable if possible) for privacy and security reasons. Is there a way to get these to work well together? I’m new to AMD so I’m a bit out of my depth.

Here are the games I’ve tried:

Elden Ring - runs fine with a bit of stuttering

Nidhogg 2 - runs fine as expected

Clair Obscur - I get fatal error every time. Tried many proton versions (experimental, 10.0.3, GE Proton 9_25)

Should I completely recreate my shader cache since I switched from NVIDIA to AMD? And if so, how do I do that? Do I need to do it for each game or is there a baseline set of shaders that I can get setup with AMD while purging NVIDIA’s?

Thanks for any help in advance!

I have just recently been given back a GPU of mine and decided to do a dual graphics setup one for rendering Wayland and the other for gaming. This did not turn out as planned and I have a slight suspicion to why but wanted a second opinion.

So I wanted the GTX 950 to render Wayland and it works great but with one small caveat gaming performance is abysmal, seemingly "capped" to 30-40 FPS on my 4070 Ti which would typically run at obviously much better speeds. I have tested with Cyberpunk 2077, Arc Raiders and Stardew Valley for shits and giggles (OpenGl game but works flawlessly anyhow)

I'm guessing that the 2Gb of ancient speed VRAM is bottlenecking when transferring the load to the 4070 Ti via Nvidia Prime. (I'm guessing that's how the technology works takes a load to the "primary" card selected by my environment variables and then pipes it back again when set in steam?) I have tried Hyprland, Kde Plasma, BSPWM all fall short. Done it in every configuration via the compositor itself, Steam, environment variables same results every time.

Another fun rolling release distro + Nvidia x2 + Wayland issue?

Has anyone else experience this kind of issue and have any workarounds or solutions?

Otherwise alternative use cases?

I've thought about a GPU pass through KVM but with a 950 its not quite worth it for the 2 titles I can't play on Linux

It wouldn't really be useful for any sort of LLM's as I have my own SFF PC with a half decent GPU in it as a home server.

Or is this old card eBay bound?

Host: Arch Linux

Specs: RTX 4070 Ti, GTX 950, i7-13600KF, 32Gb DDR4 XMP enabled, 850 Watt powersupply

Hotfix to v0.22.0 (as you know you get flooded with bugs 5 minutes after release).

Tuxánci was a "first tux shooter" (whatever that means). It was inspired by a well-known Czech game Bulanci. In 2008 Tuxánci had its last release and in 2011 it stopped getting commits... but after 17 years, Tuxánci is BACK!

I just got the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wired Controller because my xbox controller got stick drift, I'm wondering if it works well with lutris and the launchers that can link to lutris. I'm not to worried about steam.

I've spent the better part of the weekend trying to figure this out, and no matter what I seem to do, mods just aren't applying. I can get Vortex to say they're installed and deployed just fine, but once I launch DQ3 HD, nothing happens. When I go to check the files to see if anything was changed, the directories where mods should have been installed are blank.

What I've tried:

1. Install Vortex through wine and install mods that way
2. Install Vortex through Heroic Games Launcher and load DQ3 in HGL under the same wine prefix
3. Tell Steam to run DQ3 through my HGL wine prefix
4. Use SteamTinkerLauncher as a launch command through Steam to adjust mods
5. Verify integrity of Steam files, then install and deploy a single mod by itself
6. Mod Organizer (doesn't support DQ3)
7. Installing mods manually by extracting and placing into the appropriate directories without using Vortex

Every single time, trying to add a mod and deploy it causes Vortex to tell me files were deleted and asks me if I want to save or revert the changes. No matter what I pick, I end up with the same end result of not having any mods actually added to the game. I thought at first that it was due to multiple mods using similar files (most mods are combat/vocation related), but I can't even get a single one to work. I've also tried re-downloading the files for each mod, and I still get the same issue.

I know the PC install base is already rather small for DQ3, and searching the Internet hasn't been much help as a result.

Update: It looks like one mod is finally working (expanded spells/abilities), but the other combat-related mods are still not working.
