Hi everyone! I made the switch to Linux Mint a month ago and I'm happy with it. Except with OBS. seriously, this software is driving me crazy!

I'm a small streamer and I have absolutely no idea which version of OBS should I choose ! The regular version downloaded via the software manager (version 30.0.2+dfsg-3build1) or flatpak (version 32.0.4) ?

At first I chose the flatpak version but the audio is so jerky... so I'm using the software manager version but it seems it doesn't work with Aitum vertical (I can't record audio)

Do you have an idea ? I don't even know where to start for that problem (except using the v30)

My specs :

Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit

Processor : Intel© Core™ i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz × 4

GPU : NVIDIA Corporation TU106M [GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile]

RAM : 16 Go

I play Minecraft bedrock because all of my friends are on console/mobile. I switched to linux because I hate Microsoft.

I use the unofficial Minecraft Bedrock Launcher to run the game but theres several problems.

First, I dont have the patience or mental fortitude to run a server and give everyone a port and IP so they can join my dumb little worlds, and no way I’m paying to get a company to do it for me, nor do I want to risk someone ruining something while im gone.

Second, Even if I could run a server, I have a skygen and suffice it to say that it’s designed around P2P joining and using a server would effectively kill it. (I’ll explain in the comments if you care)

Third, the whole reason I use bedrock is because all my friends are on console/mobile so they cant make a server for their worlds and run it. The most any of them could do is a realm and they’re all broke

td;dr: without p2p world joining I can’t host worlds for my friends to join, I can’t host my skygen, and I cant join my friends. Please help me do p2p on the unofficial launcher or if theres another client I could use 🙏

So I'm new to gaming on Linux. I use bazzite. I have a couple of questions.

1.) I have an Nvidia graphics card (RTX 5080), and I feel like DLSS is acting a bit weird. It's hard to pinpoint, and I only tested it in Diablo 4. The performance of DLSS is terrible in that game with DLSS 4. I'm at 90% GPU usage (75% on Windows) vs FSR 2, which only uses 65%. I'm playing on 4K, so I don't mind using FSR. It looks excellent in quality mode, especially in 4k. But also, I'm kind of disappointed that it runs that badly because the features like DLSS are obviously a huge selling point for NVIDIA cards, and you pay a premium for that. Anyone got similar issues, or is it maybe just D4?

2.) If I'm staying on Linux, do you think I should go for an AMD card next time, or will the Nvidia cards improve in the long run? If some of you have NVIDIA cards and play on Linux for longer, was there substantial improvement in the time you used it?

3.) I think I will stay on Linux. The thing that surprised me the most is how stable the games are in regard to frame times. There is almost no stuttering compared to Windows. Did you experience the same?

4.) Since I'm still on an Intel CPU and DDR4, I was thinking about switching to a 9800x3d and DDR5 RAM. Will I see some improvements there? I know that my specs are really good, and my current motherboard and RAM will be used for a server I want to build; otherwise, I would obviously not "upgrade."

My specs are: GPU: RTX 5080 (Asus TUF) CPU: Intel I7-14700K RAM: 64GB DDR4 3600

Hey everyone c:

so I've been working on the graphics for my fiancees game for months now and it has finally been released.

Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition is a cute little clicker-game that was built in Godot on his Linux-PC. You can earn Fluffcoins, buy buildings and upgrade them. There is also a story, that you can discover throughout the game.

If you are interested you can check it out on Steam!

hi, I’m on kubuntu 25.10 and everytime I install a big steam game, halfway through the process my system drive either gets wiped completely or lags to the point of having no other choice than reinstall, it's not an idle issue, I tried it alone, it only happens when I download a big game, then around the 30gb mark it becomes completely unusable

I also installed smaller games like hollow knight but that seemed to work just fine, does anyone know where this issue could lie?

Thanks in advance!

When I try to open The Last of Us Part I on Arch Linux, it reaches the spinning coin loading screen, and just when it seems like the coin is about to finish spinning, boom, it crashes, and I never manage to get to the main menu. This doesn't happen on Windows. I have the latest version of GE-Proton and the latest stable Arch kernel. I have an RX 580 2048SP.

New Linux gamer here -- I've had my PC running Linux Mint for a couple weeks and haven't run into any issues with Genshin until today.

I launched Genshin from Twintail Launcher and when the game loaded in, I got the "abnormal activity detected" error message, so I closed the game. Before rebooting, I noticed I had a handful of system updates so I set those in motion, then rebooted.

Now when I try to launch the game, I get the error message in the image above: "Failed to run command! Please try again or check logs available in game directory or respective tool's directory."

I've tried rebooting again and re-installing the launcher with no success. Has anyone else run into this error and/or know a fix?

Thank you!

Can I play these 2 games with an NVIDIA GPU? 2050 laptop

I already verified that both games work fine with the latest NVIDIA drivers on windows.

Trying to get the Mario 64 recompilation, Super Mario 64 Plus, to work on Linux. Tried the manual install guide the app points to, but at the end it says it failed to build.

I tried using wine, bottles and proton and only proton was really reliable

TL;DR: Web dashboard for NVIDIA GPUs with 30+ real-time metrics (utilisation, memory, temps, clocks, power, processes). Live charts over WebSockets, multi-Server/multi-GPU support, and one‑command Docker deployment.

Repo: https://github.com/psalias2006/gpu-hot

Why I built it

• Wanted simple, real‑time visibility without standing up a full metrics stack.
• Needed clear insight into temps, throttling, clocks, and active processes during GPU work.
• A lightweight dashboard that’s easy to run at home or on a workstation.

What it does

• streams 30+ metrics every ~500ms via WebSockets.
• Tracks per‑GPU utilization, memory (used/free/total), temps, power draw/limits, fan, clocks, PCIe, P‑State, encoder/decoder stats, driver/VBIOS, throttle status.
• Shows active GPU processes with PIDs and memory usage.
• Clean, responsive UI with live historical charts and basic stats (min/max/avg).

Setup (Docker)

docker run -d --name gpu-hot --gpus all -p 1312:1312 ghcr.io/psalias2006/gpu-hot:latest submitted by /u/panos_s_

hi

i got a 9070 last week, upgraded from a 6700xt, i was really happy at first but after testing a few games like dying light 2 or shadow of war i've noticed that i had worse performance than i used to get with my 6700xt, from 120FPS to around 80 with these 2 examples

with some games i have noticed a significant improvement in performance but here's the thing: it never maxes out to my monitor refresh rate (160fps) despite having the limiter disabled. when i had my 6700xt, i was manually capping to 120FPS, and everything ran and capped to 120 as it should.

but now, the 9070 won't just max out unless i play extremely simple games that barely use the components, as soon as a game uses my R7 5800X to around 50% or more, the GPU reduces in speed and consumption, from 220W to around 170w at best, yet i have a 850W PSU which should be more than enough to power that configuration, and it doesn't explain why i got better performance with my old GPU in some games, none of this makes any sense!

i'm genuinely lost and desperate, thinking about getting a refund cause i don't understand why this even happens in the first place.

also i plugged the gpu correctly, and used 2 PCI cables without a splitter to power the GPU. the CPU is never running to 100% usage with any game, the worst i've had was 70-80% usage on the CPU the GPU typically won't go past 60-70% usage

i'm running openSUSE TW with mesa 25.3 installed

So my steam library page freeze right after I switched to other workspace. I cant click through the game on my steam library. This happens when I turn on dynamic graphics settings on my bios settings. If I use discrete graphic, this wont happen. Any Idea why?
