So after years of considering it, I finally deleted Windows and installed Linux Mint, mostly inspired by one of my favorite creators, Mutahar from someordinarygamers.

And, so far so good.

I still have to figure out some stuff and find some alternatives to the programs I used to work with, learn Davinci Resolve, use a VM for Illustrator and Photoshop but I think I can get used to it.

Some games I can't play due to anticheat (e.g. Valorant) but I guess it's a sacrifice I have to make for now.

I'm also kinda excited to learn stuff about Linux, I grabbed a copy of "How Linux Works" and plan on reading that, along with some YT videos about certain stuff, a little bit of cybersecurity knowledge wouldn't hurt either.

So hello Linux people

Currently having some issues running games through wine on Linux on ChromeOS. On Wine 8.0 (can’t update to 9.0 unsure how to), was able to run 1 out of 4 attempted games but three others displayed a Black screen. Thought it was just a Wine issue, so I tried Steam for Linux and adding through “Add non steam game” and got a unique file explorer that doesn’t let me access any of my Linux files and i can’t figure out how to copy files to this file explorer. Any advice on how to either fix the Wine display issues or to add non steam games?

Either between a game update or an OS update, I can't get the game to launch. I used to play without issue.

I'm on Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition).

Normally the anticheat will load, the intro video will play, but the screen will freeze or crash when it shows the ship from the outside.

I've been reading the notes here https://www.protondb.com/app/553850 and I've used experimental, and launch options to try and get this to work. As a note I've always used the default proton and no launch options and it has been working in the past.

One person mentions "The game does not open if you have a recent kernel and don't have Rebar and +4g decoding. You can enable them or rollback to linux 6.1". I have no idea what that means -- can someone tell me what that is or how I do that?

Kernel 6.9 Released a Day ago and from what I read it may fix a Lot of my games, problem is, even after syncing databases, the newest Kernel is linux-6.8.9.arch1-2. From what I understood of the Arch Wiki, unless Set Up otherwise, the Database just uses the newest Mainline Kernel from https://kernel.org/ so why can't I upgrade it yet? Does it just take longer to get updated on the Database? If so is there any Estimate of how long it Usually takes? I'd love to see if the New kernel fixes my Issues I've been having. (Not my Report, just the Same issue as I have)

What needs to happen for me to be able to use VRR with multiple monitors connected on Wayland with Nvidia? I know explicit sync was merged and the 555 beta is coming out tomorrow, but apparently that itself won't make VRR work. Is explicit sync a prerequisite for VRR, but there are other problems preventing VRR from working?

Is explicit sync needed, but has VRR only been implemented for one screen at a time because you couldn't do more on Xorg anyway? Is this expected to change in an upcoming driver?

What divine forces must come together for me to play a game with VRR and see Discord on my second monitor? Does anybody even know?

This is the only thing preventing me from switching off Windows. I tried to use x11 and autorandr to create profiles to disable my other monitors when gaming but I just can't cope with it.

Well, here's a bit of a nuisance. Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT is launching on May 16th and the developers have explained how it will work on Steam Deck but it's a mixture of good and bad news.

Hi Y'all

I'm running Fedora 40 with KDE6. 7900XTX and a 7800X3D. I do have an issue that whenever a game is under my refresh rate it kinda has some stuttering. Let's say I play Elden Ring which is capped at 60FPS on a 75FPS monitor, I get microstuttering. When I change the monitor refresh rate to 60 I don't have this issue.

I did think that this might be this issue but I'm running an RDNA3 GPU, not an RDNA2 GPU which this issue affects (I assume it's bound to RDNA2).

How is using Content Manager for Assetto Corsa on Linux? Is there any issues with CSP or joining servers I should know about?

I recently just got into Linux after using Windows my whole life.

I installed a fresh version of popOS And everything went smoothly I installed steam and installed some other games. But I have this problem where when I'm playing any game it will randomly just freeze and I have to restart my PC.

No keyboard inputs work I already tried Ctrl alt f3 and everything similar it just hard freezes my system.

This has been going on for a week now and it's really annoying because of how random it is.

I can play with my friends fine then randomly freeze have to restart then it will just freeze right when I get in the game.

Only thing I feel helps is if I just sit at my desktop for 5 minutes until I open a game.

Any help what should I do?
