I use separate drive for snapshot and / partition uses ext4 file format.

I have created a snapshot and installed some packages and used for some time and restored the snapshot. while the package is installed but when i try to reinstall the same package that package didn't download but installed directly as if the build files already exist. So my question is if my system is 5 GB and I created a snapshot and installed 1 GB extra packages and I restored does the system restore to before snapshot size which is 5 GB or does the build files remain.

From my experience build files does exist while the package is uninstalled.

If time shift doesn't give 1:1 system then give any alternative applications that achieves my desired outcome.

Using nvidia 550.67 drivers on Opensuse tw through lutris, i haven't had any flickering even though fps isn't running at max. Did something get fixed or am i just getting lucky? I haven't put much playtime in but it's not flickering at all yet. Don't really wanna get into an m+ and have it start though. Any info or others with experience? Just trying to figure out what is going on and why it is working.

Just set up my first Linux system using Pop!OS. I managed to download Ubisoft connect through Bottles and install Anno1800, but when I go to launch the game I get the following error:

"Failed to enumerate the DXGI adapter. Error Code 1202"

Looking up the error code says that I need to delete the file "engine" (https://segmentnext.com/anno-1800-no-audio-fix/) but I'm not sure if I'm able to do that through Bottles.

Again, very new to Linux and gaming in general, any help is greatly appreciated.

I downloaded fallout new vegas and I have none of my saves. I also tried a newer game like cyberpunk 2077 and still no saves.

I just want to know if it's possible and how. I don't want perfect performance, but is it possible to get close to near native performance?

• Ubuntu 23.10
• GNOME 45.2
• RTX 4070, Driver 550.78
• X11/Xorg (no this isn't changing, I'm not going to use Wayland because that's problematic for me still)

I use my gaming rig for work, and I'm finally making good money so I decided to upgrade my side monitors, more space, and solving some weirdness I was seeing.

Before upgrade, my Left and Right monitors were craptastic Dell 1920x1080 @60hz monitors. One I had connected via HDMI-HDMI, the other DVI-DP (the monitor only had DVI or VGA yuck). The middle monitor is an Asus VG27AQ (and this has not changed), running at 2560x1440 @165hz. I had the X11 environment configured to sync to the VG27AQ monitor at 165hz (and this mostly worked well).

I then upgraded Left and Right to Gigabyte M27Q-Pro's, so have them running at 2560x1440 @165hz. Now both of them on DP, and all monitors on DP.

However, the middle monitor is now erratically flickering in ways that were not happening ever before.

I've tried (to no improvement):

1. Replacing the DP cable
2. Enabling/Disabling G-Sync aspects on some/all monitors
3. Explicitly declaring refresh in X11.conf/nvidia
4. Monitoring the system for a possible weird refresh rate change on the Asus monitor
5. Probably some other shit I'm forgetting.

I'm really out of ideas and I don't see why this is happening. Really the only thing that has changed is swapping the Left and Right monitors, and they do not exhibit the flickering that the middle Asus one does.

Anyone have any keen ideas? This thing is pretty yucky and hoping to get it fixed. Thanks! :)

I need to use xrandr to combine my 2 monitors (hdmi and dvi-d) into a ultra wide, I'm running manjaro i3 and Wayland won't install due to a missing url from packman. Can someone help please?

I trying to run the game Freedom Force(GOG version) and all i get is a black screen, according to ProtonDB, seems some people ran the game flawless, does here someone have managed to run it? Am i missing some lib or something?

I'm very new to linux gaming, usually just use my linux laptop for work (with a separate windows PC for gaming).

What is Proton? What is Whitelisting?

I bought, downloaded and installed Tropico 4 but it doesn't launch - there is a black screen and then nothing. Is this something to do with the default proton version?

TIA

Does anyone know if this motherboard is compatible with Linux?

I keep seeing people have issues with some asrock motherboards with Linux. I’m just wondering if anyone’s gotten it to work without any major problems. I received this motherboard in the mail recently and I realized that I hadn’t checked if it’s compatible with Linux.

I looked through this website

https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search&vendor=Asrock&name=B650&typeid=motherboard#list

However my exact motherboard is not on it. The Asrock B650M pro RS is on it, but I’ve read that this is a different motherboard and I don’t know if I can assume that just because it works in one it’ll work in the other.

If no one has an answer, could you indicate me to a motherboard that people have tried that works okay with linux? I’ll just return this one and get another one. However I’m looking for a motherboard with the am5 socket as I bought the amd ryzen 5 7600x.

Thank you!

Below is where I’ve seen this discussion.

I am using Bottles for running Red Dead Redemption 2. When I use Soda 8.0-2 G-Sync works fine. After switching to Soda 9.0-1 and changing nothing else G-Sync just stops working and the indicator displays that G-Sync is not active. How can that be possible? Isn't G-Sync supposed to work in all fullscreen applications?
I am using Fedora 40 + Gnome 46 + Xorg with an RTX 3070.

Since it’s unofficial is it allowed under steams TOS? and also can the sandboxing affect anticheat particularly VAC in tf2, thanks in advance.

does what it says on the can

when I launch steam it causes my whole system to stutter and freeze. it also happens when I launch games from my library. any idea what it might be. some driver and stuff might be out of date since I started on a fresh install just yesterday. the problem happened on the old install too with up to date drivers. it only lags for like a minute at a time but its very annoying. while it lags the audio hitches and sometimes it can cut off ppl in discord while they are talking to me. any help would be appreciated

If you hate the steam snap as I do and can't get Steam deb installed due to libLLVM18:i386 install issues on Ubuntu 24.04. Bug report

Here is a workaround.

# Make room for the libLLVM i386 package cd /usr/lib/llvm-18/lib/ mv libLLVM.so.1 libLLVM.so.1.amd64 # Install steam which will install the libLLVM:i386 apt install steam:i386 # Rename the new lib reflect its a i386 package mv libLLVM.so.1 libLLVM.so.1.i386 # Restore default sym link to amd64 lib ln -s libLLVM.so.1.amd64 libLLVM.so.1 # Link to appropriate i386 libLLVM cd /usr/lib/i386-linx-gnu/ rm libLLVM.so.18.1 ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-18/lib/libLLVM.so.1.i386 libLLVM.so.18.1 # Link to appropriate amd64 libLLVM cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linx-gnu/ rm libLLVM.so.18.1 ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-18/lib/libLLVM.so.1.amd64 libLLVM.so.18.1

When they finally fix the i386 package, make sure to clean this up before you update.

Now you can finally run steam without the crap snap package again.
