I installed fedora 40 a few days ago and havet had many issues, but one annoying one i have is that when i switch direction while scrolling in some instances the first "click" is ignored. The places i have noticed this is the gnome workspace switcher, hotbar in Minecraft, wepon switching in Cyberpunk, most likely other games too. This is most annoying in Minecraft as i use the scroll wheel all the time. I am using xorg atm and the workspace switcher works as expected, so i understand it might be an issue of "deal with it til explicit sync is out" but if anyone know how to fix it, some help would be appreciated. If it helps im also using a Logitech g903.

Resurrected my girlfriends old lenovo laptop and want to use it for normal everyday and some gaming (mostly emulation and older games on Steam).

I was debaiting between Manjaro or Mint but don't know which to go with or if there's a better option. Any suggestions or tips to get the best out of it?

P.S. It needs to be something I can dual boot because I also want to use it as a Kali machine to learn pentesting.

I recently switched to Ubuntu after hearing it could give me better performance. Have tried games that have run very smoothly on windows, yet they lag A LOT (could run TF2 on highest graphics settings with 60+ fps, but even with the lowest graphics settings I am struggling to get near anything remotely smooth framerates).

It seems that it is something that is possible to fix, my machine is running on 8gb ram (IK that isn't a lot, but it was enough back on windows...).

I am just left wondering what to do to inprove my performance as it wasn't an issue back on windows. Should I switch to a more gaming focused distro than Ubuntu or are there any settings that can help me get better performance, * it seems as if proton is causing lag, as other applications (non-games) run pretty fine.

I was attempting to run apex legends on Linux and it takes an abhorrently long time to process vulkan shaders. Took approximately an hour to reach 63% and got even slower beyond that. My build is quite good, with an i3-13600kf and an nvidia 3060. I'm almost certain this should not be the case. Any help is appreciated.

Current steps taken to fix: Proton experimental instead of default (I assume hotfix) Enabling background shader compiling

Trying to mod Persona 3 Reload again after not playing for some time. Was able to launch it fine earlier but now I’m having some issues after trying to launch Reloaded II where the shortcut to launch the game modded doesn’t work anymore.

I am not a smart person, I just like silly video games. Could someone offer a solution..?

Arch Linux, Nvidia, Pipewire.

As the title says, I'm getting some kind of intermittent distortion only when using HDMI audio. It's not the crackling issue that people often have. It almost sounds like it could be interference, but I can't imagine where it would be coming from. I'm not exactly in a densely populated area. it's sort of a buzz/drone sound that's across most of the frequency spectrum but primarily the mids, and it kind of moves/evolves when it happens for a few seconds continuously.

I've tried some basic things like manually setting bitrate and buffer sizes, but it hasn't made a difference.

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue, and might know of a fix? It's incredibly annoying.

I've been looking into looking glass and I have a question whether my laptop which has an integrated AMD gpu and a dedicated Nvidia gpu where the latter routes it's output to the former instead of being connected to a display.

Hey, I'm not really happy to have Vanguard running 24/7 somewhere in depths of system kernel - especially that nobody is 100% sure what it really can do behind the scenes - we can only hope it detects cheats and nothing else. So I was wondering - if I purchase second NVme disk and install there windows 11 just for games - would that keep my primary disk with linux safe?

For clarity - On my main disk with linux - I do use secureboot + whole disk is encrypted using default debian crypt params. For second disk with windows - I would only run there those 2 games, no login to web browser, no work, no sending personal files there.

Also, prove me if I'm wrong but as these are 2 separate disks, I don't need to create some custom grub entries, right? I can just enter boot menu manually from keyboard every time I want to boot to my second drive.

Asking all of this cuz truth be told I miss League after all and I can pickup such disk for maybe $15.

Valve today released the first version of Proton 9.0, the newest stable version of the Windows compatibility layer to run games on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.

Hello ladies and Gentlemen. I am making the switch from Windows and attempting to get my laptop up and running with Pop Os because of the ease of having nvidia drivers per-installed. So far everything has been functioning great accept getting dlss and frame generation to function. I have an ASUS Invictus with both integrated graphics and an RTX 4050.

I'm using the hybrid graphics mode and things are working accept in Starfield (the only game ive tested) I don't have access to DLSS and Frame Generation. I can select FSR and a few other options, no dlss. Looking for help here. Thanks in advance.

I have an ultrawide screen which is broken and the right 5 cm can't be used. Under Windows I set it from 3440x1440 to 2560x1440 but that also removes the left side. As I am not aware in Windows of a solution that gives me the left part back.

Is there a solution in Linux where I can just say don't use the right 5cm of the monitor
