Hi all,

I was checking out Linux for a while but kind of came to the conclusion that Windows still works better for my use case. That being said I did like the potential of it as an HTPC setup because my PC is actually really close to my TV so I can hook it up when I want a larger screen.

While looking into different distros I learned about Nobara’s HTPC image and Bazzite deck. I’m curious if there is any other HTPC style distro worth looking into?

Hardware I run:

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600x

GPU: Radeon 9070XT

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30

TV: nothing crazy just a base model TCL 4K@60Hz

Edit: forgot to mention though I think it’s obvious from the post that I’m lookin to dual boot this HTPC OS and Windows :)

Recently BABELUM was released on Steam (Windows/Steam Deck, 14.99€).
But we decided to release a Linux build for free!

The Linux Edition is a thank-you to the open-source community: you are heroes in the shadows, you deserve some love in return. All our future games will follow this rule.

BABELUM was also created using Godot and Blender, both children of the open-source community: thank you!

Released on:

• Itch.io (Linux Edition, 100% free):
  • https://retro-tales.itch.io/babelum-linux-edition
• Steam (Windows / Steam Deck):
  • https://store.steampowered.com/app/4391760/Babelum/

Context:
BABELUM is a solo dev indie action-educational game inspired by the classic “Snake” (90s Nokia) style gameplay, where players collect and spell words, learning a real language while climbing the Tower of Babel.

In one sentence: Duolingo meets Snake (90s Nokia style).

The latest game patch (1.4) + Nvidia 595.58.03 has resulted in the game instantly crashing for me right at the start after a short black screen with the title on it.

Up until today's gamepatch the game ran absolutely flawlessly.

Observing the VRAM usage when the game starts tells me that the VRAM of the card is barely used at all, so i assume the game's error output is a "false positive". Tried all proton versions (Experimental, Hotfix, GE). All of them having the same issue.

Anyone else facing this issue / found a solution?

Hello!

I've recently acquired an RX 9070XT. Working like a charm! The only thing is that, when trying to define my Undervolt Profiles on LACT, I've come to notice that LACT's ventilation curve is behaving quite weird.

While core temps and junction temps are absolutely fine and stay below 75 degrees at all times when providing heavy workloads, the fans just go absolutely insane.

I've provided a screencap that shows this issue. Check that core/junction temps seem really low, but the fans are hitting almost 100%. Could that be due to mem temps reaching +80 degrees? Which sense would it make? This should be following core (edge, as shown in LACT) temps.

My UV profile is really stable, been testing the whole afternoon and I feel like I've reached a sweetpoint.

Screencap of this weird issue

My \"UV 1\" profile

My \"UV 3\" profile, the one that I use the most, great balance between performance and power consumption (250W max usually)

Thanks!

I stumbled upon this solution and I couldn't find it posted anywhere else, so I'll put it up here for anyone who needs it.

Firstly, GTA 5 only runs on Proton 10-30 at the time of me writing.

In terms of Rampage, install the Scripthook and Rampage files as one would on Windows, refer to the readme's. Now, the thing that makes it work is adding an Environment Variable on Heroic Launcher or Launch Option on Steam.

For Steam, add the Launch option: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_4=n,b;dinput8=n,b;scripthookv=n,b" %command%

For Heroic, go to the Settings, in Advanced, under Environment Variables, add the Variable name "WINEDLLOVERRIDES" with the value "xinput1_4=n,b;dinput8=n,b;scripthookv=n,b" (don't add the quotes "" for this one)

Hope this helps someone, I just switched to Bazzite and hope to be a small part of the movement.

Hi, guys. How's Pragmata's performance on system similar to mine:

Laptop Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10

Ryzen 7 250

24gb ram

Nvidia RTX 5060 8gb

OS: CachyOS

Proton: latest cachyos-proton slr.

DE: KDE Drivers: 595 (latest) Kernel: 7.0

I mean fps are super fine it's 80-100 with Ray Tracing.

But there are constant mini freezes, more of stuttering. I thought it might be vram, so I turned off RT and the settings page showed 6.3gb used of 7.9.

But that didn't fix anything, there are some of the locations where fps drop to 30 and GPU power consumption drops from 90-80 to 40-60.

What I also noticed is mangohud shows 7.9gb VRAM used. Maybe there are any leaks or something?

How's the game performance for you?

Due lack of tinker time, I just installed the 5700X3D that was on my drawer for a while.

I am looking to get a newer GPU to replace my 6700XT. It has nothing wrong, I just want to get one slightly better.

I have been eyeing the 9070XT and I know I will bottleneck the CPU.

Granted the 9070XT will do fine on an AM5 platform, but may be overkill for my current AM4 rig.

What would be a good upgrade for the 6700XT?

TLDR : You need to add

VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap

in addition to the already set

PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1

CachyOS-Proton - Updated 4 hours ago as of this post.

Updated the alternative vkd3d-proton to the rebased descriptor heap branch. To enable it you will have to set VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap manually in conjuction with PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1. The reason is to allow testing of both the legacy and the new code paths with this rebase.

vkd3d updates by Hans the gigachad

Massive behemoth rewrite that is shippable. The full PR is here for testing purposes, but the actual landing will happen in half a million stages.

Hidden behind VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap since there are still several NVIDIA bugs left to resolve before this can be considered shippable as a default.

Compared to the previous PoC, this PR does not remove legacy code paths hnnnnnnng, but the idea is that those old paths will eventually be removed once heap is solid everywhere and we can sunset support for ancient GPUs.

NVIDIA black screen bugs with heap go in: #2872.

Hello everyone, I just bought Satisfactory on steam and I've been playing it on Win11 for the last few days after finding out it doesn't run as I expected via Proton. The game is choppy, FPS is above 60 but it feels like lower than that, %1 FPS is around 40 most of the time but sometimes it goes as low as 4. It runs perfect on Windows on Ultra, but to get it to run as good I have to dial it back to Low preset on Nobara. I thought it might just be because of Proton, but ProtonDB gave it a platinum so I was wondering if there's something else keeping the performance low. I have a 3060 Ti and Ryzen 5 5600G and I have tried both Vulkan and DirectX 12. Anyone else had similar experience with Satisfactory?

Hi everyone,

I've been playing Crimson Desert on the latest version of Bazzite OS using Proton-CachyOS, and the performance is surprisingly good on my RTX 5080.

However, I'm encountering a strange issue with Frame Generation: the option is intermittent. Sometimes it's available and works perfectly, but other times it's completely greyed out when I launch the game. I haven't changed any settings between launches, so I'm not sure what's triggering this.

My setup:

• OS: Bazzite (Latest)
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5080
• Proton: Proton-CachyOS (latest build)
• Current Launch Options: PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

I noticed I had PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 twice in my original string (fixed it now), but the FG issue persists. Has anyone found a specific environment variable or a trick to make Frame Gen stick?

Is it related to PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 or perhaps a specific NVAPI override needed for the 50-series?

I am working on a hidden-object puzzle adventure (Totally Nutz: An 80s Adventure) that takes place in the 80s and is inspired by the hand-drawn charm of The Tiny Bang Story and Machinarium video games. I'm uncertain there is a market for the art style and game play though. What are your thoughts? As a Linux gamer, is this a game that interests you? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

So...using Linux Mint 22.2. Installed a game I used to play and the UI is just not good. Texts are bigger than boxes. Names also too big compared to the Windows or mobile version. Even the title screen we can see texts not fitting properly.

I made some searches and learned that monitors 4K have issues to find the scaling or resolution. I'm not sure if this is still an issue, because the topics i found about it are all 2y old at least.

Anyways...I tried some lines inside the application settings, in Steam. But none of them worked:

GDK_SCALE = 2

-forcedesktopscaling=1.5 %U

STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=1.5

None of them changed anything. Also, I checked for Gamescope, but it doesn't work for Mint.

So...is there anything i can try to have a better game screen? i checked inside the game but the settings are not good and there's nothing to be done there. Ty for help
