Hello!

I've been playing under Linux for years. Mostly on the Steam platform.

I just noticed that there is a yearly summary under Steam.

I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU for a while now, i'm just unsure because i wanted to wait for Radeon UDNA but it may be better to buy now since the GPU Prices will go up soon.

My System: i7-8700k, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3080 10GB (the first one), CachyOS, 3x 4K Monitors/TV (2x HDR, 2x 60Hz, 1x 120Hz(TV))

What do i play most: Cyberpunk on 4K 60Hz with Raytracing VRChat (Valve index, Steam Frame)

I wanted to upgrade to the RX9070 XT

Since 4K and VRChat uses a ton of VRAM that might be a good upgrade and AMD also runs better on Linux than Nvidia. Do you think it's worth the upgrade? Should i upgrade or wait a few more years?

(Upgrading CPU is not easily possible because of DDR5 Prices) Do you think that GDDR6 is also going up in cost? Afaik is only DDR5 or GDDR7 the issue.

And also Chivalry 2 lol. Chiv 2 does work on Linux but OOTB input latency is much worse on Linux, so switched to Windows. However with a few workarounds it’s actually better on Linux so now I’m back baby. Next year gonna be 90%+

When you encounter an issue while using a linux distro here's what you do first:

1. Check for system and driver updates
2. Search the internet (community forums, blogs, reddit etc...) for solutions
3. Change gpu drivers to proprietary ones and test it again.
4. Check with other versions of Wine, Proton, Proton-GE, etc... (for games/windows softwares) and tweak in-game settings.
5. Check with another Kernel (choose another kernel while booting)
6. Boot into previous btrfs snapshot and test it again (if you setup snapshots)
7. Go to Archwiki-https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main\_page and you'll find a lot of useful info on a huge number of packages, desktop environments, window managers, etc.......
8. If Nothing fixes the game issue, wait for the game update. A Game update might fix the issue.

These are the things I did when I was a beginner and it helped me and my friends save a lot of time. Please do suggest some changes if I missed any.

Coming to "asking for help" in this subreddit, it'll be helpful if you follow the template that is pinned in the community highlights - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/16d7gj7/need_help_heres_how_to_get_it/

Whenever you post for help, include system specs, steam, proton, wine, gpu driver versions etc..... if possible attach logs as the above template suggests. It will become easy and saves a lot of time for everyone if you put some effort and explain the issue in detail and tell us what fixes and what else have you tried to fix that issue. Please don't just directly come to reddit and post here without doing any basic troubleshooting and do include detailed specs & explaination of the issue.

If you are using a linux distro, you have to invest your time and effort. That is the reality. We are happy to help and you have to put some effort when you post.

Linux Distros are not "Free". The Price of a Linux Distro is your "Time" & "Effort".

I wanted to get mangohud working for minecraft but prism launcher won't let me enable mangohud in its settings menu. I also tried a wrapper command to force it to launch mangohud but it says mangohud not found despite me having installed mangohud via both sudo apt install and also with flatpak commands. I am on linux mint.

Only made the migration a few weeks ago and my entire Red Dead Redemption 2 run was on Linux (CachyOS - Hyprland). I rate this graph will look completely different next year!

I'll believe it when I see it. It would be interesting if they made it a Linux exclusive though.

Linux gaming is going strong, but anticheat is still a big obstacle.

But is there something the linux advocates (like Valve, the FOSS community, or anyone) are doing to overcome it in the long run? Is there even something that I can do to help?

Or are we just hoping that devs will be forced to adapt once linux's market share becomes big enough?
