Recently bought a new PC with a 5080.

I can use Win10 till october but seeing videos about cachyos makes me want to switch.

Will the drivers and DX12 situation improve any time soon, or should i buy a 9070XT?

I’m playing arc raiders and trying to play stretched res however I keep getting this limited camera issue, google says it can be a couple of things but probably polling rates being too high, I tried every other issues fix and to no avail so I’m sure it’s the polling rate, and apparently my specific mouse ignores kernel modules, and isn’t supported on Any of the popular tools I’ve found, google made it seem like if I set it on Logitech g hub it would stay the same, booted up windows, changed polling rate, logged back onto arch hyprland, absolutely no difference, this is really annoying when all I’m trying to do is get better pvp settings :(

Hey everyone, I’m currently searching for a Linux distro that still fully supports X11, because my needs really depend on it. I’ve noticed that a lot of popular distros are moving toward Wayland-only by default, and I want to explain why that doesn’t really work for me right now. Here’s what I need: Stretch resolutions for games (e.g., 1440×1080 in Dead by Daylight) Vibrance / color enhancements via tools like vkBasalt or Vibrant Linux Stable NVIDIA GPU support, including NVENC for OBS Steam + Proton compatibility for gaming KDE Plasma preferred, but not strictly required General desktop use: browsing, Discord voice, lightweight video capturing From what I’ve seen, Wayland doesn’t currently allow some of these features: Stretch resolutions without black bars are tricky or impossible GPU-layer post-processing (vibrance, CAS shaders, ReShade-like effects) often won’t work NVIDIA X Server Settings can’t control scaling properly I’d love any suggestions from the community about: Distros that will continue supporting X11 reliably for the next several years Tips on getting vibrance / stretch resolution working on NVIDIA under X11 Any other KDE-friendly setups for gaming that you’d recommend

Thanks in advance!

So I started using linux some month ago and everything as been somewhat fine I'm a giant noob but even the most special problem have been solved by the community.

Since I mainly wished to use my linux computer for gaming, I installed steam and some emulator, for most of it everything went fine, all my games were running well natively or with proton/wine. But with LiS : Before the Storm, I juste can't wrap my head around what is y problem.

First the game didn't work at all, then I followed this guide on this subreddit, which was recommended on protondb.

Then the game worked, for 30 good minutes, then it crashed and wouldn't open again (as a native game or with proton/GE-proton).

But the strangest is : I can launch the game actually, but only after I try to open it with GE-Proton10-20 (which give me a black screen) and then re-launch it natively.

Idk why that happen, it's not a big deal but it's kind of an hassle to redownload everything every time. So if someone made this game work I would really appreciate your help

Sry for my English it's my second language

+ I'm on linux mint and everything from steam to mint is up to date.

The aim is to have more transparent access to wine prefixes and the surrounding tooling (winetricks, proton configuration, etc...) per game in comparison to Lutris. Same features like statistics (time played, times launched, times crashed, and so on) per game is available in this app. All configuration and state is explicit and user-controlled, with minimal hidden or implicit behavior.

All of this started when i updated my system after a 3-4 week holiday i had around 2.5GB of system updates which i ran. All other setting/configs are the same unless they were changed during that update. helldivers didnt have an update during that time as it was the holiday break.

other games are unstable aswell

Thinks ive tried

1. downgrading mesa to 25.2.4
2. older kernel versions (6.17.12)

xNVSE thinks my game is Pirated, I promise you it's not. I verified files and followed the install process again;

Added the mod, made sure Bin is ticked, renamed the nvse executable to FalloutNV.exe, and deployed the Bin section.

It will either boot the game up normally, which tells me it didn't install xNVSE, or it will give me an error falsely claiming that my game is not legit, and closing.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and would really appreciate some help!

Just bumped into a post in Phoronix where a member mentioned the HiSense U8Q TV and low and behold, it comes with a USB-C port!

Which menas proper AMD support under Linux.

This is amazing and we need to spread the word about them.

PS sorry if this was posted before, but I didnt find it.

Remember how the original Mortal Kombat used live-action sprites for characters? Now imagine if someone stuck that style into a modernised action platformer.

Hello,

Context of the person writting: I switched my Desktop to Fedora KDE and the drivers to the Nvidia ones. after 6 months of Fedora Sway/KDE on Laptop.

I'm asking the question as I am running a 3060 12gb

The question comes from a train of thought: Nvidia is inferior to Amd on Linux for Performance.

But what about DLSS when you have a Nvidia GPU on Linux. It is also nvidia software, and has been made for Nvidia cards, but FSR and Xess Are also at our disposal, and I cannot seem to find any numbers of discussions on what is the ideal solution.

On Nvidia + Windows the solution was simply: If you have a Nvidia card, it is worth it to run DLSS and not FSR. But here I cannot seem to find the response or test made on such a complicated "Market"?
