So here is the deal, I desperately want to get away from windows. I’ve tinkered with Linux a few times over the years but have been essentially a windows user for 25 years. I’ve been researching for days and getting opinions from all the content creators. I’ve set up a ventoy drive and been hopping around different distros getting a feel for them

Here in lies my problems, for 1 I use an Nvidia gpu. Now I am perfectly willing to sell my 5070 ti and go amd with a 9070 xt however only if necessary. And there in lies problem number 2. I swear every benchmark comparison I find is different. With some making it seem like Nvidia is essentially broken to others saying everything is perfect and the 5070ti beats out the 9070ti…

Problem number 3, picking a distro. I’m strongly leaning towards Cachy, Garuda, or Nobara because the idea of rolling updates (especially if I’m Nvidia) seems like the best idea. I’ve also considered possibly Bazzite but most of the benchmarks I’ve seen on bazzite give Nvidia a serious disadvantage.

Also I do have a steam deck and so I am familiar with how it operates, starting in big picture mode with the option of a desktop as needed. I kinda like the idea of this as my pc is essentially an HTPC.

Honest advice, tips, suggestions would be incredibly helpful. Thanks

Ive been using cachyos and ive been having problems with my setup. I use two monitors, my laptop screen and an external monitor, but whenever i play some games, the resolution is way higher than what my monitor outputs. This only happens with two monitors, and i dont have this issue when im only using one or the other. Anyone know whats going on here and have a fix?

Hello everyone. I am a semi experienced user of Linux and use Mint for my "work" laptop (Huawei Matebook X Pro 2018) since Windows 11 is very bloated and it slowed it down considerably and it works like a charm. Other than work (I use it mostly for biomedical statistics and office suites - I use WPS because it is very similar to MS Office) I use it for guitar related stuff and some video editing - DaVinci Resolve, Reaper, Tracktion Waveform and Guitarix (with low latency kernel and my iRig HD2 audio interface) and everything works as well or better than Windows (well... I miss some plug-ins but there are okay alternatives).

Anyway... I have a gaming laptop with Windows 11 (ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 - i9 13900H + GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop) and I'd like to switch to Linux as well...

All the distros you are praising here are either Arch or Fedora based, and I feel best with Ubuntu based distros so I'd like to install Ubuntu Studio (because of RT kernel and audio/video stuff) and I'd like to hear your opinions whether that is a good idea (I also prefer KDE but my KDE Neon install started acted weird - probably due to pushing latest KDE Plasma updates).

Thanks for your input

Hello, so I want to install Linux on this laptop, but I don’t know what version and I don’t want it to be really hard. I’m just getting into this but I want the OS to be good for gaming and all around and I want it to be almost like windows so it’s easy to use so what Linux distro should I use

Hello folks,

so im trying to get Warcraft 3 Reforged running on Arch.

1. I installed Battlenet via lutris on wine 10.16 staging (64).
2. I downloaded Wc3 in battlenet which worked just fine.
3. It even starts the game and let me watch the beautiful cinematics. But i cant get a Menu. I end up in the animated background with a working mouse and wc3 cursor, but no Menu at all. Tried D3DX9, D3DX11 and even OpenGL. Wine cfg is Win10 (also tried Win11, but same issue).

My Specs:
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
64GB Ram
RTX 3080

On winedb i read that wc3 reforged runs on wine 10.17. But i cant use 10.17 with lutris.

Can anyone provide some help with this?

Hi !
I have The Crew Motorfest on Ubisoft Connect, launched through Steam using GE-Proton 10-25. Game launch great, but when it tries to load after the "press any key" screen, it just shutdown. Any ideas ?

I'm using Fedora 43 with up to date drivers, if it matters.

I've been having an issue for as long as I can remember now. When I'm downloading something through steam I have major slowdown on all my other open programs, to the point where I notice stuttering even on my desktop.

The downloads are fast enough to max out my internet connection (30 MB/s) but not nearly enough to max out my storage (max read/write speed around 500 MB/s). My CPU also experiences only minor load, with none of my CPU cores reaching over 70% load.

What could be causing these stuttering issues? Am I alone in having these issues or is this just par for the course?

Also I'm on Arch for what that's worth.

Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-13700k

Storage (Where steam + Linux is installed): Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB m.2 SSD

Storage (Where the games are being downloaded to): Kingston A400 960 GB SATA SSD

Memory: Corsair VENGEANCE 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000

Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z790M PLUS

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

Hey guys, does anybody know how to fix the black screen after loading into a save state in Assassin's Creed Valhalla via Steam? I already tried different Proton and ProtonGE versions.

Some more information:

• Fedora Workstation 43
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
• NVIDIA Driver 580.105.08

So when I launch the game I get into the main menu, select a save state or create one, get into the loading screen with my character where I can move and then it transitions to a black screen where the world should load. I hear ambient sounds but can't see or do anything. Sometimes I still see the loading icon (not moving) at the bottom right.

Hi everyone,

I'm aware this isn't very per say gaming related but wanted to ask bit wider audience especially since linux gaming community is rather lively.

I would like to ask whether anyone knows how to reload keyboard shortcuts config live after replacing the file without restarting whole plasma session.

What i have tried(each step performed after swapping file with simple cp and confirming that it had have happened):

dbus-send --session --type=signal /KGlobalSettings org.kde.KGlobalSettings.notifyChange int32:3 int32:5

above should send notification about changes in the files and reload 3(settings),5(Shortcuts)

qdbus6 org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.reconfigure

should reconfigure kwin which handles global shortcuts in plasma 6(probably only does that for other parts :/ ), i also tried one more version of this but it also did not change anything.

systemctl --user restart plasma-kglobalaccel.service
i did this first presuming that restart of the service will cause reload of the config, but it does not.

I've seen that somebody workaround that by using dbus call which sets the shortcut but i would like to avoid that solution if possible.

any educated guesses?

Thanks in advance.

I tried some scripts, but most of them works at first when I boot the computer, later on it will stuck with nvidia being used by the host, I can not unbind it for the VM, does anyone have a good script that can handle everything?

Thanks

This is my script:

alias nvidia-disable='
echo "[*] Unloading NVIDIA modules...";
sudo rmmod nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia 2>/dev/null;
echo "[*] Loading VFIO modules...";
sudo modprobe vfio_pci;
sudo modprobe vfio_iommu_type1;
sudo modprobe vfio_virqfd;
echo "[*] Detaching GPU...";
sudo virsh nodedev-detach pci_0000_01_00_0;
'

# Chuyển GPU từ VFIO -> NVIDIA
alias nvidia-enable='
echo "[*] Reattaching GPU...";
sudo virsh nodedev-reattach pci_0000_01_00_0;
echo "[*] Unloading VFIO...";
sudo rmmod vfio_pci vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_virqfd 2>/dev/null;

sudo modprobe nvidia;
sudo modprobe nvidia_modeset;
