Hey everyone,

I’m running Fedora 43 KDE on Wayland with a hybrid GPU setup (AMD iGPU + NVIDIA GTX 1650). NVIDIA drivers are installed and working.

Here’s the issue:

• If I launch games (Proton/Windows titles) from Faugus Launcher, the game starts (audio works, UI responds), but the screen is completely white/black.
• If I first run vulkaninfo | grep NVIDIA, and then launch the same game, it works perfectly.
• If I launch Steam first and let it run on the system tray, and then launch the game using Faugus, it also works perfectly.

Things I’ve tried (asked ChatGPT, setting Global ENV in Faugus Launcher's settings):

• DRI_PRIME=1
• __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
• __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
• VK_ICD_FILENAMES

Can anyone point out what's wrong or provide the solution, I really want to use Faugus since it has a minimalist UI that I prefer. Thanks!

Hi. What's the current status of Linux on MSI Claw 8 AI+. Recently bought one but can't handle the windows. Any distro working good? How much performance is lost? Can we still get a decent gameplay on linux with a MSI Claw 8 AI+? If I can play games in decent 40-50fps I would be happy with it. Thanks.

With a pretty creepy looking style, the dungeon crawler Pluto is all about experimentation as you construct spells and wiggle your fingers.

Hello, I've been a long term Windows user. Recently, I dual booted my PC because of performance. I chose Zorin OS my friend has recommended me. Did I make a mistake? I saw some people ranking it really low in tier list, i ain't no expert or power user I guess. All i do on Linux is play games and try it out to get some basic skills.

Did i choose poorly? Should i installed Pop OS!, CachyOS or Ubuntu instead? Or perhaps Bazzite?

I'm on Fedora 43 Gnome, and from what I've read I should be able to have HDR working out of the box by now, right?

• Nvidia driver v580.119.02
• Mesa v25.3.4-7
• VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace: "extension revision 5" ??
• VK_EXT_hdr_metadata: "extension revision 3" ??
• Mutter v49.4-1

Now, if I'm running a game, say the Nioh 3 demo, on Steam with these parameters:

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

I don't get HDR output. In fact, toggling the HDR switch in the Gnome display settings already doesn't cause my TV to go into HDR mode. Is that normal? The image just becomes washed out looking.

Without the DXVK_HDR=1 switch, the game doesn't even enable its HDR toggle.

When running vulkaninfo I get the following warning:

WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : Path to given binary /usr/lib64/libGLX_nvidia.so.580.119.02 was found to differ from OS loaded path /usr/lib64/libGLX_nvidia.so.0

What am I missing? Any further debugging information I can provide?

EDIT: I just realized the VK_EXT_hdr_metadata extension was listed under llvmpipe. So the driver is the problem? Which one do you need?

Hey,

Despite searching reddit and ProtonDB for similar issues, I didn't find a mention of it. On The Last of Us Part I, there are those weird white dots / lines appearing.

It doesn't always happen, but frequently does. Often around light sources / reflections. Any one having faced this issue ?

Specs :

• RTX 3060 Ti - drivers 590-open
• Intel Core I5 10400f
• Ubuntu 25.10
• Wayland

I tried (to no success though) :

• PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
• PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1
• PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1
• Disabling any kind of ambiant occlusion
• Tweaking lighting settings

What could this come from ? The Last of Us part II had similar issues, but decreasing ambiant occlusion quality fixed it, not here. Thanks !

Title

I have tried a bunch of variations and none of them work. Is there truly no way to do this? Because adding gamemoderun %command% to every game's launch option line is kind of a PitA.

The only scrap of info on this I could find was from here: https://feralinteractive.github.io/gamemode/

But ofc it wasn't that simple. It didn't work when I tested with gamemoded -s in terminal and a game running

I’m looking to switch to Linux and need advice on which distro would best suit my hardware and specific gaming habits.

My Specs:

Laptop: Dell G15 520

CPU: Intel i7-12700H

GPU: NVIDIA 3050Ti (4GB VRAM)

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 512GB SSD

I play a wide variety of games, from AAA to Indies: AAA: Cyberpunk 2077, Space Marine 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Witcher 3, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Indie/AA: Hollow Knight, Disco Elysium, Nine Sols, Mouthwashing, Selaco.

A big part of my gaming scene is testing cracked or pirated versions of games before I buy them. My laptop has struggled with lag on poorly optimized games like Silent Hill 2 Remake and Jedi: Survivor, so I use these versions to check performance first. I also straight-up prefer pirating/emulating games from certain companies EA, COD, and few other AAA companies.

I need a distro where running these non-Steam repacks/cracked versions via Wine, Lutris, or Bottles is as seamless as possible. Additional Info:

1. NVIDIA: Need stable drivers for the 3050Ti.

2. No Anti-Cheat Drama: I don’t play competitive eSports (No CS2, Valorant, or League), so I’m not worried about kernel-level anti-cheat issues.

I've heard Linux is great for emulation, but I'm looking for the best balance of NVIDIA support and ease of use for pirated and non pirated gaming.

What would you recommend? Nobara or Pop!_OS or Bazzite or CachyOS

Hello everyone, I've released a new version of Zordeer, version 1.7.7.1. Zordeer is a game launcher built with PyQt6, supporting Wine, Proton, and UMU.

If anyone wants to test it, I would be very grateful.

It's also available on the Snap Store, but the Snap Store version doesn't yet support UMU.

I have a Moza R5 with ES wheel and it is working fine except the RPM indicator. I am thinking to buy a more advanced wheel like KS pro or any other with a screen embedded on. Do they work on Linux without too much setup?

CS2 Crashing Solved ✅️

After countless driver changes, optimization, loads of troubleshooting, game launch options, and linux distros ( CachyOS and Linux Mint ) , my PC would not play CS2.

All other games would launch and play fine, no crashes.

By now.... AI knows all my system and story of my life attempting to get it fixed.

I have plugged, unplugged hardware (gpu).

12th gen

16gb ram

Gtx1080Ti

PSU 850w

Guess what it was....?

Maintenance...🪛 thermal paste on the GPU.

Probably the power spike caused the gpu to throttle down momentary and vulkan crash and freeze whole PC.

After cleaning and replacing thermal paste on the GPU success, everything works smoothly.

Good luck people 🤙
