As the the title says I bought WD's 8tb SN850X and at first I felt good about my purchase, but then I started seeing things about it being unreliable and failing soon after purchase, that 8tb drives in general are less reliable than smaller ones, etc. So Can I get some opinions and/or facts about whether this is true, ya'lls thoughts, and whether I should exchange this for smaller drives. I would really prefer to stick with 8tb if I can, I have high storage needs and would prefer to stick with that size but reliability is more important to me.

I am fairly new to Linux and am using POP_OS! and whenever I try and run ARC raiders from steam, it either wont open (this is what happens most of the time), a file will be corrupted, or something else prevents me from playing. I have tried changing the compatibility tool, verifying the integrity of the files, as well as uninstalling steam entirely and reinstalling it. I cant think of anything else I can do so any help would be appreciated.

So was wondering if someone could explain to me how HDR is supposed to be setup. I am using Fedora 43 (Gnome) with a 9070XT, over HDMI to my LG C2.

When using my TV, I change to a different tty (Ctrl Alt F3) and run gamescope with the "--hdr-enabled" flag (amongst other flags). It results in a great experience with 4K120 and VRR (Freesync).

I am well aware of the limitations with HDMI 2.0, so I am running with chroma sub sampling. The TV is stating "YCBCR420 8b TM HDR10" with Freesync enabled, which is what I'd expect. Everything has that "pop" with HDR enabled, even the menus.

If I boot up something like CyberPunk with the system-level HDR enabled it is again, quite vibrant, but if I then enable HDR in the game settings, it is washed out - blacks turn to greys etc. If I turn off HDR system level the game isn't as vibrant.

So my question is, what am I seeing? Am I seeing HDR implemented in all games, but game specific HDR implementations are not meant to be used?

Basically subject. I'm playing the finals and I see that almost every time, there's some shader precaching involved, followed by Vulkan processing before the game starts.

* Is that normal?

* Is there a configuration that avoids that and, if so, which would be the disadvantages?

My gpu is a 9070, playing on Arch, normal Linux kernel, 32Gb of RAM.

I’m getting tired of Windows 11 Pro’s telemetry and constant issues, so I’m considering switching to Linux for gaming. I don’t play online, and my hardware is an RTX 5090 with a Threadripper 7960X.

For someone mainly focused on single-player gaming, which Linux distro would give me the best performance, stability, and overall experience? Any recommendations or things to watch out for?

Hi, I switched from Windows 10 about 2 days ago and now I'm on Linux Mint Cinnamon. I'm really enjoying it, but I don't know why—when I enter Arsenal, roblox game, where I used to get 240 FPS, now I get 100 to 150, 160. I have an RTX 3060 and I adjusted some settings in NVIDIA Settings, but I don’t think that’s the problem.

Can anyone help me?

Problem

A lot of games I regularly play are behaving in really weird ways that they did not do before. Most of these are unity games but some aren't. Some of these include:

• crashing on startup(both with the native version of the game and under proton)
• crashing after opening the pause menu or some other action
• crashing after tabbing in and out
• crashing at completely random times

What I tried

• I tried a dozen different versions of proton. (I usually use proton ge from using the proton-ge-custom-bin from the chaotic aur.)
• I tried moving the games to a different drives.
• I tried using a clean install of cachyos in a vm
• I tried a clean install of nixos on my actual pc(I installed nixos for a different reason I just tried while I was doing that)
• I tried waiting for driver updates

What I know

It is most definetly a problem with my pc as I asked a friend of mine to try one of the games on his p that's running cachyos and it run just fine.
It can't be some kind of package causing problems since it did not work on 3 different OSs.

My specs

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.17.9linux-zen(latest as of posting this)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (8) @ 3.90 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT [Discrete]
Memory: 15.53 GiB(DDR4)
Swap: 20.00 GiB
Motherboard: B550 Phantom Gaming 4
BIOS (UEFI): P1.40 (5.17)

I'm using all up to date packages.
If there's any other info that could be useful I will provide it.

Any help is appriciated I'm going insane.

I thought the Linux crowd might appreciate the engineering behind this.

It’s a project called Eaglercraft. The dev decompiled the 1.8 source and compiled it to JavaScript. It runs on any browser that supports WebGL (Firefox/Chromium) without needing the proprietary Minecraft Launcher or a Microsoft Account login.

It connects to offline-mode servers via WebSockets. It’s a pretty neat way to preserve the 1.8 era in a platform-agnostic way.
