Using uxtu in windows I was able to get up to 3100 on my gpu (760m amd). Is there any chance to get same results on Linux? (Cachyos). Ryzenadj didn’t worked for me (set max gfxclq freq isn’t supported on this family)

So I am going to try out linux (again) and wondering. How is Steam games working ? I am not a "hard" gamer - but play civilization 3, 5, 6, and 7. Will they work out of the box with Linux Mint ? what steps should I make to prepare to game? I am using a ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 4 with a dock and 2 2560x1440 Samsung monitors

I'm on an hp Chromebook running flatpak so i download sober cuz why not, and when I try to run it it says "Sober couldn't find a supported graphics. You may need to install additional drivers to make it work. You might have to run "flatpak update" in a terminal (which I did) to make Sober recognize your graphics device". What can or should I do

Frist off, thanks for all your help and quick responses here. I don't want to crucify either of us, just need a sanity check here.

I had a problem and one of the generous souls asked why I kept trying different distros when the I couldn't find any errors in the logs, instead of using just fedora or another more mainline linux distro.

I went from Mint to Arch to Bazzite to Omrachy. I explained that I though they were more specialized for gaming and thereby might help solve w/e issue I was having.

He seems to think I'm crazy for thinking that.

I recently switched from Windows 11 to Ubuntu 25.10 and I'm having issues with my audio. I've tried Fallout 4 and I get some audio during the start up animation but its very quiet, and when I'm actually in game there's nothing at all. Other applications have no issues, firefox plays audio from youtube, discord notifications work fine. The issues is just with steam games as far as I can tell.

found GPU TGP was set to 60w which is designed to use 95w at max.

manged to fix it using nvidia-powerd which boosted it to 80w but i want to fully maxed it out. Learned about LenovoLegionLinux(LLL) but i have some questions about compatibility. would appreciate if you guys have any workaround for it.

Hi everyone,
If someone is / was having an issue with GTA Vice City, please take a look.
I made a fix for Unhandled exception: c0000005 At address: 00597a5d in GTA Vice City.

The game was crashing on every linux distro, every proton version I have tried, so I took a look on the mod itself and Framerate Vigilante was causing this crash.
Here is the fixed version by me:

I don't know if there's an obvious solution I'm missing, but I cannot seem to get some Ultrawide games to run properly in hyprland. I've tried a bunch of stuff, so I'll go through what I have tried, and maybe someone knows what I'm missing. Some work just fine, I can play Jed: Survivor with no issue, but Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't work. Here's everything I've tried RE: Cyberpunk.

Firstly, my hyprland config has the monitor properly set:

monitor=DP-3, 2560x1080@75, 0x0, 1.0

First thing I did was just google, and I came across this issue with an unsurprisingly unhelpful response. I'm not running xorg and thus don't have xrandr, so I don't really know what he means by that, and no amount of searching led to any answers. Maybe this is the solution, but I have no clue what it really means in this context.

So next I tried gamescope, which got me a lot closer, but still no luck. I tried a couple of combinations of flags. Setting -W,-w,-H,-h, and -f got me correct output, and the game could run, but the cursor was locked to the centre 1920 pixels of my screen, meaning I couldn't turn my character at all or reach certain menus. I tried using --force-grab-cursor, but not only does that not fix the cursor being locked to the centre, it causes the actual rendering of the game to freeze every couple of seconds, and only alt-tabbing repeatedly causes rendering to resume. It's not a workaround though, because it just freezes again after a few more seconds of stuttering.

A few other details that I doubt matter that much, but I will point out, is that I'm running NixOS unstable, with the nixpkgs version of hyprland, and I have a recent-ish Nvidia GPU with the most up-to-date drivers available to me. If anyone has any advice, I'd be happy to hear it.

Oh, and I can play it just fine in Gnome (wayland session), so I suspect this has something to do with the ways that hyprland and gnome set up xwayland respectively, but I am not certain by any means.

Last year Apex decided to block Linux players from playing the game and unfortunately they saw a big decrease in the amount of cheaters.

https://esports.gg/news/apex-legends/respawn-reveal-linux-ban-reduced-number-of-apex-cheaters-by-33/

I think we can assume that Linux gamers are not more likely to cheat but people were using the openness of our platform to more easily cheat. This made me think, would creating a Native Linux version of the game rather than using the Proton translation layer to play, create the same amount of cheating? I don't have the necessary technical background to understand if that would create a difference, if any, in the amount of cheaters. What do you think would be the implications of such a change in the Linux gaming scene? Would it create any difference?

Was thinking about new Stream machine having only 8Gb of VRAM, googled up about how Steam Deck handles memory for APU, and suddenly realized Valve has theirs own memory management layer in SteamOS.

Whole graphical subsystem uses Vulkan plus Mesa3D and it should be absolutely possible using DMA Buffer zero copy to allocate some system RAM for GPU to use as VRAM in addition to dedicated VRAM. I have a strong feeling Valve did something like this on this new Steam machine, coupled with some smart management like leaving frequently used data in fast VRAM while moving rarely accessed data to RAM buffer allocated for VRAM data.

If that's the case then Steam machine might have absolutely zero issues running games which require up to 12, maybe even up to 16GB of VRAM as SteamOS on its own uses only around 1.5GB of RAM and the rest is available for user. Does anyone have any information on it, is it a plausible assumption?

Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate

There's a rather baffling trend I've noticed in the wide world of normie tech YouTubers benchmarking and promoting Fedora derivatives like Bazzite and Nobara as of late. That kinda honks my chuff because I'm over here wondering "what, is Linux Mint not good enough for ya?" There's also something rather unnerving and crap about how Fedora is now being touted as a better base for home users than any given Ubuntu clone. Now, I doubt anyone reading this would be so unhinged as to take my word as gospel and begin admonishing the Bazzite and Nobara teams with jeremiad rants inspired by my gripes. Just to cover my bases, however, I do think Bazzite and Nobara (among others I might not be aware of) are perfectly fine projects that serve valuable roles to people whose needs align with said projects. It just so happens that my priorities, tendencies, and values are out-of-sync with what Bazzite and Nobara have to offer. Allow me to explain in less ludicrous English.

First and foremost: if Distro A exists and Distro B is basically "Distro A but with added conveniences," I generally err on the side of running Distro A directly.

• The only exceptions are derivative projects with a vastly different scope to the original. Debian -> Ubuntu -> Linux Mint or Arch -> Artix are prime examples of this in action.
• I fucking hate communities that exist exclusively on Reddit or Discord, which is the sordid state of affairs for most derivative projects (incl. Nobara).
• There ain't no Fedora forums running vBulletin, IP.Board, or XenForo anymore, but at least there are official channels to seek public-facing help (thank you Fedora home page on Firefox).

Secondly, and this is perhaps the most important thing I wanna stress here, Bazzite and Nobara have a hyper-specific focus on gaming, with multimedia and general usability being an ancillary concern.

• Believe it or not, people use their computers for more than just vidya.
• I have dual monitors, a USB Blu-ray/DVD-RW drive, and an assload of anime and movies I bought IRL over the years.
• I also have a huge trove of TV shows, movies, music, e-books, and comics in digital form that I've accumulated over time.
• Sometimes, I do need to fire up a word processor or print something for personal business (i.e. benefit forms at my job, stuff I need to get notarised, etc)
• Bazzite is built off Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite, which is great if you want something closer to a Steam Deck, but sucks if you're not trying to pigeonhole your PC into LARPing like a vidya console.
• Nobara isn't as narrowly focused on gaming, but there are tons of compile-time tweaks and patches made for obscure use cases that might not even apply to my hardware. If they do apply to my hardware, I'm 90% sure that it's negligible.
  • Side note: I'll only know once I set up a different portable drive and actually bother to test Nobara, but that would involve benchmarks and FPS tests that I presently lack the drive, let alone the motivation to properly test on both Fedora and Nobara.

MY VENOM IS NEUROTOXIC, NOT HAEMOTOXIC

"Atomic," "immutable," they all mean the same thing: normies stay out

I'd also like to veer off on a little personal tangent against "atomic" Fedora desktops, and the idea of a "gaming" distro built off Fedora more broadly. Conceptually, I think Fedora's "atomic" desktops are great. In all practical terms? They (and all derivatives, including Bazzite) are abject rubbish. SteamOS is the only "atomic" OS that's worth using, and it's hamstrung by the fact that it's not yet publicly available for all x86_64 computers. Why do I have such venom and vitriol for "atomic" Fedora spins? There are four huge problems that greatly hinder its usability (package management with rpm-ostree in lieu of dnf in particular):

1. Flatpaks are meant to be your sole channel for desktop software. Technically, you have Distrobox too, but it's much fiddlier than installing a Flatpak.
2. You're only supposed to layer local software packages through rpm-ostree for base system updates. You're not supposed to layer third-party software with rpm-ostree.
3. Unfortunately, tons of software on Linux don't have Flatpaks and can only be installed by layering it with rpm-ostree.
4. If you have a new Fedora release you wanna migrate to, tough tits. You need to reset the packages you layered before upgrading (all the more troublesome on an X+2 support cycle where no given release is supported for more than a year, and new releases come out every 6 months).

Now, technically, there is a workaround where you can make a custom image and host it on GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Codeberg etc. After you make the update/upgrade, you can then rebase your system to that custom image so your layered packages don't go bye-bye. There's just one massive problem with this approach: normies ain't tryna speedrun amateur distro maintainer any%. The "atomic" approach that Fedora offers is far better suited for large-scale enterprise deployments than single-user home/semi-professional deployments. If I have to resort to using git to assist with basic OS maintenance, there's something fundamentally fucking wrong with the picture here.

I MAY HAVE OVERSTATED THAT A BIT... BUT ONLY A BIT

It's not all doom and gloom; it's mostly just gloom

To be clear: Bazzite isn't rubbish because of anything the Bazzite team themselves are doing. They, at least according to my cursory Brave Search results, seem to be upstanding people who are trying to fill the void left by SteamOS's absence from desktop Linux more broadly. Bazzite is, unfortunately, worthless in my book precisely because they're trying to make a normie-friendly Linux distro meant for vidya out of a Linux subproject explicitly tailored for enterprise use cases. Fedora, as Bazzite and Nobara's upstream, is a literal testbed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux meant for the "Linux hobbyist." It's a far cry from a general-purpose distribution like Debian, or a normie-friendly derivative like Ubuntu/Mint. There's also the added question of "what if Fedora (re: Red Hat)'s priorities deviate from normie use cases?" Case in point: PROPOSED changes to drop 32-bit multilib support by the time Fedora 44 releases.

Thankfully the Fedora engineering committee hasn't yet approved such a proposal, and the blowback to this proposal was enough to make them say "okay, okay, we won't do it by F44. We still wanna do it, but we'll do it at a later time... so basically whenever y'all will stop bitching about it." Do you see the problem here? Debian and its downstream teams have not even remotely considered dropping 32-bit multilib support. Ponder this for a moment: "modern" games like Dark Souls 3, The Witcher 3, Persona 4 Golden, Master Duel, they're (presumably; I haven't checked) 64-bit games. If Fedora goes full 64-bit only, I certainly won't be out of luck. Most emulators nowadays have x64 builds too, so I'd still get my retro vidya fix one way or the other.

But what if I wanna play a 32-bit game like Deus Ex GOTY, The Witcher 1+2, Oblivion, Morrowind, or whatever else? Valve and co did an exceptional job with Proton, GloriousEggRoll does fantastic work with GE-Proton, and (at least on Linux Mint) I'm able to play literally everything I want that isn't bottlenecked by my aging-yet-still-capable hardware. However, does any of that progress really matter if the distro developers are itching to nuke i686 libraries altogether?

ENSHITTIFICATION EXISTS ON LINUX TOO, Y'KNOW!

Because FOSS developers love breaking legacy support for their own convenience

I've gone through great pains to explain why gaming is way out-of-sync with Red Hat's priorities, and they're locked-in on the enterprise market. They haven't cared about home users (i.e. the overwhelming majority of normies) ever since shitcanning Red Hat Linux 9 for Fedora Core in 2003. RHEL7 was the final version of RHEL that supported 32-bit anything, and it went EOL in 2024. From RHEL8-onward, you're limited to a much narrower pool of software, even when factoring in EPEL and RPM Fusion. RHEL 7 also had a native build of Steam whilst RHEL8-onward doesn't.

Let me reiterate: there is no native version of Steam capable of running on RHEL clones built off anything from RHEL8-onward. You need to resort to Flatpaks, and even Flatpak runtimes are liable to go EOL (case-in-point: Witcher 2's native Linux build requiring GTK2, which no longer exists as a Flatpak runtime as of 2024). Sure, Fedora itself does stuff upstream that Red Hat doesn't inherit (i.e. BTRFS as the default filesystem, retaining 32-bit libraries as of now, some other odds and ends I'm not entirely aware of). That doesn't eliminate how these are looming concerns one wouldn't necessarily have if they're running a Debian-based distribution.

EDGE CASES & WHY THEY MATTER

CatherineFullBodyEDGE.mp3

To cap off this screed: this all sounds like bitching about edge cases, but I'll gleefully die on the hill that says the edge cases define the true usability of your system. If the edge cases can't be met, even with hackish workarounds you cobble together from LLMs like ChatGPT and Perplexity, old forum posts, Reddit threads, the ArchWiki, among other such sources, then the project as a whole is woefully inadequate. Fedora, as of version 43, does meet my edge cases at the time of writing... but how much longer will it be capable of addressing my edge cases?

Bazzite, flawed to hell though it may be, is still a worthwhile consideration if you're trying to get that Steam Deck fix on a computer you're fine with treating as a console more often than not. Nobara, despite its narrow focus on gaming, is about the closest thing we have to Linux Mint in the Fedora/RHEL ecosystem, and I desperately wish they'd broaden the scope of the project to focus more on general usability and convenience for normies instead of focusing so narrowly on GAMERS(tm).

To that end? I seriously doubt these distributions will still exist by the end of the decade unless RPM Fusion's willing to take on the burden of providing 32-bit multilib support in the absolute worst case scenario. If the time comes where the Fedora team decides to maintain 32-bit multilib support in perpetuity, I'll gladly bite my tongue and consider this rant moot, null, and void. Anyway, I feel the vein in my forehead throbbing right now so that's my cue to cut myself off.

Make like an apostle from Berserk and do as thou wilt. I'm just one terminally online jack-off ranting about Linux like anyone else. Don't take my word as authoritative. Form your own opinions after reading another jack-off's opinions and all that stuff.

I've done a bit of research since I made a post 2 years ago on the pop_os sub, but I can't understand why AMD Mesa driver are stricter about GLSL shaders than NVIDIA that accepts, as some sites say, "broken" or non-standard as non-conformant coding shader. I'm at loss and can't wrap up my head around.
