I've always used Windows but this 11 is horrible, I tried to migrate to Linux Mint as they say it's good for beginners but there's a part of the installation that freezes, can anyone recommend another distro that's good for beginners?

Linux noob here, my buddy claims that Nobara simply doesn't come with a desktop. I googled it and to me it sounds like Nobara is in fact supposed to have a Desktop, called Gnome. How do I turn that desktop on though? In case I am wrong, and Nobara really does not come with a desktop, how do I install one and which one do you recommend?

Games like Deep Rock Galactic, Insurgency Sandstorm, and a whole of others.

I know for sure I couldnt install those in Steam.

I didnt check out the linux steam scene for a few months now.

What has changed?

Hello everyone, I have a rog gaming laptop with both amd cpu and dgpu (RX6800M)

I've been thinking switching to linux but I'm thinking if there's additional step involved to optimizing it? I'm a noob in linux so I'm afraid I won't understand complex stuff regardless I still want to try it.

One of the main thing I'm concerned about is if the smartshift technology works flawlessly in linux? and also if is there any control center i could use for undervolting and fan control. In windows i use G-Helper.

The linux distro I'm considering is bazzite so if anyone has any experience I would gladly appreciate the help!

I know kernel level anticheats dont really work on Linux but I was wondering if I could stream the game, would that allow me to play fortnite for example? If not that's fine, just curious and thanks for the help! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

Edit: Sorry, I'm using Linux Mint 22

Hi all,

I used to run Minecraft Bedrock through mcpe-launcher (https://github.com/minecraft-linux/) or Waydroid, but it seems the latest version of Minecraft introduced some form of DRM that blocks both these approaches.

Is there an alternative or a work around for this?

(I know I can play Minecraft Java Edition natively on Linux, but I play bedrock because my son plays on his Android device - which can't run the Java version and we have a shared world where we play together.)

Short story

Had an old graphic card and changed to a new one. I put the card and it just worked well.

Selling the old card and the buyer asked to send a video of it working. So i removed my new graphic card, put back the old card, made a video of it working, removed and put my new card again. Then turning on my pc and it wont start my linux (mint). It starts till the logo screen, then shows the loading clock and gives me the monitor saying power supply issue.

I have used my usb install to run the boot repair, but it didnt solve it. Tried to start linux on recovery mode, so maybe could run timeshift and restore.... I dont know if changing the cards like that could have changed something on the drivers.

Anyways... I have no more ideas of what to do. Anyone have a help for me pls?

I'm looking for a good speedrun timer, that can automatically activate like livesplit, and/or switch levels. i've seen "adrift" on speedrun.com, but i do not know how to install it correctly, i get into it's folder, make, but an error that says that vtk isn't found, which is really strange as i already installed the vtk packages (i want to speedrun portal 2 if that helps)

So mainly what I want is a good mouse that's easily configurable on Linux. It should have a thumb button in the natural thumb position, something like the G502 Hero's G shift button, and that button should be remappable to anything, including modifier keys. This is my issue with the Hero, I can't remap that button to ctrl like I had on Windows before I switched over. Any recommendations?

Arch linux gnome. When playing games with steam, I'm constantly getting 4k resolution, which is much higher than my 2k display. I tried to set it up via xrandr like here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195327, xrandr shows that I have 4k resolution, but my system is on wayland, so i can't change xrandr modes. In my gnome display settings, everything is right 2k as it should be. Everything is also correct in .config monitor.cfg. The problem appears so far only in games. I'll be glad if we can fix it.

I am on arch using sway. My obs used to work fine but after an update it is now really choppy. It seems the the pipewire screen capture is capped at a low fps value (maybe 30). The fps in obs is set to 60 (which worked find before). I can see the lag in the obs viewer and in the final video. Is this a known issue, and how can it be fixed?

log: https://pastebin.com/rehxde8n
I just looked through this log and this bit looks suspicious:

10:45:43.616: [pipewire] Negotiated format: ... 10:45:43.616: [pipewire] Framerate: 0/1

pipewire is using 0 fps?

Hi guys, i have been trying to run marvel rivals in my laptop with pop_os installed in it but it just refuses to run. It startup and i see the startup screen but then the entire game gets stuck and i have to manually shut the game down. My system info is as follows

Processor: 12th gen Intel i5 12450H

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050 6GB

RAM: 16GB DDR5

I have tried several solutions like installing the native steam, using gamemode and forcing steam to use a specific Proton version including latest Proton GE, but nothing seems to remediate this issue. What are the other options i have?

Edit: Whenever i try to use gaemmoderun %command% as a launch command, something weird happens, as soon as the startup screen gets stuck, i have to press alt tab, and as long as i keep pressing the button the game resumes as normal. What is happening here?
