I was just wondering, I am planning on switching over to Linux on my PC but due to the drives I have available etc there is going to end up being a bit of hot potato happening. I was wondering if anyone knew of any utility tools/sites that help with like a checklist or flow guide for moving gaming files over to Linux?

I searched “i use arch btw t shirt” on Amazon and this actually came up. Also I am not the one selling the shirt, but if you want to buy it then: All Things Geek by MCMA I Use Arch, BTW T-Shirt, Small https://a.co/d/8GlnnN5

I'm running Arch with Hyprland on the linux-zen kernel. For about a week now, when I share my screen on Discord and someone starts viewing it, at first the monitor would go black and return to the lock screen — after I entered the password the machine behaved like it had just booted. Now, when someone opens my screen it shows artifacting: multicolored striped bands, like in the attached video.

I'm posting here instead of the Arch forum because the same thing happens on Kali with XFCE and on Arch with KDE Plasma. I thought it might be the desktop environment, the distribution, or the kernel, but apparently it isn't. I can share my screen from Windows with no problem — this error only happens on Linux.

One important note: my GPU is an RX 580 2048SP; previously I had a standard RX 550. I tried reinstalling the old RX 550 to see if the problem persisted, and it does.

I've already tried changing Discord settings (disabled hardware acceleration), tried modified Discord clients — nothing worked. The only thing that works is Discord in the browser; the desktop app shows the error.

Just built a new PC. Migrated my hard drive from the old to the new. Forgot to put the boot USB to install Endeavour OS.

Got this.

Windows was not installed on this drive, at all. It was a BTRFS file system with Arch installed. I was dual booting, with Windows on another drive. There are no other hard drives or USB drives connected to this machine, including the HDD I had Windows installed on. Its connected to another PC. There is no reason for a Windows recovery screen to appear, other than I happened to dual boot for a short period.

I'm telling y'all, windows is a virus.

what made you finally snap and decide to install Linux?

With the recent Bs with windows Ai I’m not willing to stay with windows at this point. But I’m stuck here between different distor’s I game a lot but now some of the games I play like league or destiny won’t work( I know devs screwed this up). But the two distorts I’m looking at are nobara and bazzeite( I can’t spell it). Which would be better in terms of some light school work along with gaming and media consumption?

Daré un poco de contexto aunque se que no es muy relevante, llevo meses pensando librarme de Windows, soy usuario gamer (casi no juego competitivos, ni que tuviera amigos para eso además tengo consola) el caso es que me he estado planteando la idea de pasarme a Windows tras ver todas esas jugadas extrañas que le harán a su sistema y que de por si mataron a Windows 10, entonces instale CachyOs para tener una distro llamativa con KDE Plasma, tengo un teclado mecánico genérico de la marca Gamer Tech, tiene una perilla, para ajustar el volumen y varias teclas de función las cuales no funcionan bien, cuando subo el volumen con la perilla este baja en el sistema operativo y cuando lo subo al igual con la perilla se baja, no soy mucho de conocer el sistema operativo pero cacharreando un poco con la terminal pese a no saber y con la ayuda de chat GPT descubrí que constantemente el teclado esta mandando señales como si estuviera presionando teclas cuando realmente no hago nada, también cuento con algunas teclas de FN las cuales no funcionan en su mayoría, y al igual que con la perilla de control de volumen al presionar la tecla FN+F2 (que es la que corresponde a bajar el volumen) se sube y las demás no hacen nada, quisiera saber si hay solución antes de vender y comprar otro teclado, se que se puede re mapear pero pues no soy usuario experimentado así que no es algo que pueda solucionar solo o con ayuda de Chat GPT, si alguien sabe como puedo solucionar el tema del teclado agradecería porque suelo usar mucho las teclas de FN (actualmente estoy en windows pero no tengo problema en instalar linux para buscar soluciones) si es necesario puedo adjuntar foto del teclado por si sirve de algo

Since i started having really bad performance issues on OBS i switched to GPU screen recorder and absolutely loved it, the only problem is that it doesn't have webcam support implemented. The app does support plugins according to the git page, however i am not smart enough to figure out how to create plugins, nor have i encountered other custom made ones apart from the example one.
So im currently wondering if anyone has made working plugins for GSR, and if so, is it even possible to implement webcam support through the use of plugins?

Have anyone tried it? I’m looking for a upgrade to my old headset and I’m not sure if there could be a issue with these on linux?

It had been working before on a lower tier Nvidia card. But ever since I swapped to a better AMD GPU, GTA V failed to initialise.

I resolved that problem by switching from Proton Experimental to Proton 9. But now it says that it failed to initialise the DirectX 12 drivers.

I've seen tutorials on how to resolve this on Windows, but not Linux. What shoulx I do?

I am trying to run a Windows-only game on Ubuntu 24.04 through Steam. The game uses an installer that expands to a directory on the C: drive.

After I ran the installer through Steam, the files were stored in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/[a set of digits]/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Desktop (I guess the game installed to the local user because of Admin privileges). But now the game's EXE is in there and I can't figure out how to run it in Steam.

I tried resetting the Steam shortcut to launch that EXE, but it's not working. I feel like I'm missing a setup step here.

Would someone please fill in my missing knowledge for the final step in this process?

Thanks!

I'm pretty new to Linux. Been gaming with it for a couple weeks now. However I have been having ram issues. When I run my games I have only steam client open, nothing else. At launch KCD2 will have my pc sitting around 14gb of ram usage but after several hours it seems to climb to my cap of 15.7 and results in TuxedoOS shutting down steam and KCD2 citing memory limits. Today I tried running ETS2 and no matter what graphics setting I would have the same memory cap issue closing the game. When running these on Windows I never had issues with my ram limits. Could it be TuxedoOs, a lack of fan control or something else? If anyone can help me find a fix that lets me keep TuxedoOs I'd appreciate it as I like the distro. But if I have to try another distro I will as my main use for this pc is gaming.

Hello frineds, I have a Lenovo Legion laptop with the Ultra 9 cpu and 5070 ti gpu running CachyOS and when I go to run Wuthering Waves I get audio but a black screen.

Hi i downloaded cyberpunk yesterday and wanted to play my old save but when it started loading in it started stuttering like crazy and around after 15s it just stopped completely and i had to turn off my pc using the button on the case i just thought it was a mod desync since i had mods installed on my windowws but i didin't install mods on linux yet so i just went to sleep, but now i started a new game and the same thing happened and im kinda bummed out since i really was craving cyberpunk but had no space before.
