Hi all,

I switched my alacritty font on this new install to Jetbrains Nerd Font.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why fastfetch isn't reporting it correctly. According to Alacrity logs, it is loading and using it and not falling back.

Hi,

i currently at the main mission to break into the library. You learn a new spell and need to select in from the spell menu. After selecting and exiting the menu, the game gives me an pop up tutorial message for a previous learned spell (go in the menu and select the spell, asign it to... blablabla). I cant interact with the pop up and the game softlocks. The charakter does not register any movement inputs, i cant open any menus, nothing.

OS: Opensuse Tumbleweed

GPU: RX 7800 XT

Protonversion: GE-Proton10-29

(CachyOS/Arch) I have a 2TB SATA drive I want to convert from NTFS to ext4, and I have already formatted the drive with gparted.

However, I can't add then add a folder to that drive to then add in Steam as an installation location.

I am able to elevate to administrator via 'Open as Administrator' in Dolphin to then make a folder in the root directory for my Steam games, but then I get the 'Steam library folder is not writable' in the dialogue to add a directory in Steam.

Any idea where to go from here?

Do you like having executable logs? Now you have them! Do you also want executable audio files? Say no more! Will they actually run? No. But Steam will make them executable anyway.

Basically (almost) every file Steam brings into the system will have the executable bit set.

Wouldn't be a big deal, if context menus didn't prompt me to execute those files when I want to open them. And the context menus are not wrong, Steam is.

I have a lenovo thinkbook s14 intel tiger lake i5 11G7 with iris XE integrated graphics and all my games are on my OS drive(which runs Zorin OS 18), and for some reason, I cant play games that should run fine, and would, on windows. Titanfall 2 doesnt even boot. they pretend to work the first time, but then on future attempts it doesnt even get past the first loading screen

It's to fix ultrawide cutscenes.

The problem is that it's an .exe file you run alongside the game.

I have the steam install of Red Dead Redemption.

I've put the files in the same location as the game (not that it matters on windows)

Then tried running the .exe file using protontricks in the same prefix as the game but I just get an error.

Not really sure if it's even possible but thought I'd reach out here to see if anyone has any ideas.

Getting the basic info out of the way first;

• Ryzen 5 2600
• RX 580 (8gb)
• 6.18.6-arch1-1
• Mesa 25.3.3-arch1.3
• SwayWM

Pretty much what the title says, screen sharing on Discord/Vesktop/Equibop or recording with OBS causes weird "jittering" where it seems to display old frames every half second or so, Identical to what this person was experiencing, but in my case happening on AMD hardware. The more demanding the game, the worse it gets.

I've tried looking into what could be causing this but the few people I've found with this issue have either been ignored, or gave up and installed a different distro. This feels like a wayland/sway issue but I never had issues like this on my old hardware.

Sorry for the initial lack of info, not sure what else could help.

hi everyone. absolute nooby to Linux. Just installed bazzite on app for use in the living room on my TV. I'm using an LG G5 oled that supports up to 165 hz with vrr. PC wise it's all amd, 5700x3d and a 9070xt. on the TV I have 165hz and freeysync premium enabled. on the pc display settings I can't go above 120hz and am unsure why.

I am assuming it's a bandwidth issue? I'm using hdmi, since the TV doesnt have display port. is this just an issue where I can't output that over hdmi on linux? I'm plugged into one of the E Arc hdmi inputs.

Is it something I can fix by limiting HDR or other things? and if so, how do I do that on bazzite? I have HDR disabled on display settings

thanks all

I’ve been looking for a laptop for Godot and Unity on Linux. It seems like these might be the best choices:

Dell Precision 7780 with i7-13850HX and Intel UHD graphics (big display, comes with ubuntu already on it)

or

Dell Pro Max 16 with Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 and AMD Radeon (better graphics)

or

System76 Bonobo, which is cool because it’s made for Linux and has an 18 inch display but for some reason it has an Nvidia RTX. I thought Nvidia didn’t work well with Linux?

Which of these is the best option? Is there anything better that I’m missing? I would really appreciate some guidance since I’m new to this stuff.

(I should mention that I don’t want an OLED or a Framework laptop)

[Review] Two weeks on Linux (CachyOS) after years on Windows

I’m a former Windows user who recently moved to my first Linux distribution. I chose CachyOS and, after two weeks of daily use, I felt like sharing my experience because I’m honestly impressed with how positive this transition has been.

1. RAM usage

On Windows, even with 32 GB of RAM, the system easily used 10 to 12 GB just to “exist”. Many times, with only Discord and a browser open, it would already go past 8 GB. It always felt like the more memory I had, the more the system decided to waste.

On Linux, this changed completely. Even with many applications open, usage rarely goes above 3 or 4 GB. Memory management feels much smarter and more efficient.

2. Security and anticheats

This was one of the biggest positives for me.

On Windows, we are basically forced to accept kernel level anticheats like Riot Vanguard or EA’s. For me, this is simply unacceptable. In my country, a game like Battlefield 6 costs around 300 reais, which for many people abroad would be like paying 300 dollars, and you still don’t even have the option to play on the OS you prefer because you are forced to accept invasive software running at the lowest level of your system.

On Linux, this kind of practice is simply not welcome, and that gives me a real sense of control, privacy and respect as a user.

3. Customization

The level of customization is insane.

From the terminal to icons, colors, themes and system behavior, everything can be deeply adjusted in a relatively simple way. It really feels like a system that adapts to the user, not the other way around.

4. Gaming

This was another huge surprise.

On CachyOS, gaming has been extremely easy. I installed the system, a few basic packages, and that was basically it. I configured things gradually without having to fight the system.

Helldivers 2, which used to shut down my PC on Windows, now runs normally. Overwatch 2 and Warframe works without any issues. Arc Raiders feels like it was made for Linux because of how well it runs. Many games run natively, and when I tested Proton by changing the version once out of curiosity, instead of getting worse, my FPS actually improved.

In general, I honestly felt several games running smoother on Linux than they ever did on Windows.

5. Community drivers

This part really impressed me.

I have a digital cooler from DeepCool (AG400) and I always thought it was ridiculous that the company never provided proper software support for Linux. On Windows, I had to open a launcher just to see the temperature on the display.

On Linux, I found a community-made driver on GitHub. Not only did it work better than the official software, it completely solved my problem. Now I turn on my PC and the temperature automatically shows on the panel without opening anything.

I also managed to fix the LED on my mouse. I still haven’t found proper support for my HyperX Alloy MKW100 keyboard, but it works perfectly fine. Hopefully someone will support it in the future.

Even installing VS Code felt different. One command in the terminal and it was done. No websites, no installers, no clicking through pages. Just one line and the program was installed. The practicality is amazing and really motivates me to learn more.

Conclusion

I’m new to Linux, but I can already say with confidence that in many aspects it is clearly superior.

Right now, I have absolutely no desire to go back to Windows. Instead, I feel like I’m finally using an OS that respects my hardware, my time and my privacy.

This was my honest review after two weeks using CachyOS.

Hi, y'all. I heard that the Khronos Group released a patch for Vulkan with new extensions, more efficient Descriptor Heaps? Most likely fixing the infamous NVIDIA DX12 problem under proton, NVIDIA pumped out a beta driver release with the Vulkan patch apparently just a few hours later yesterday? Is installing these "beta" drivers possible, does anyone know if they actually help? And as of now, and when they come out of beta, will Pascal GPUs like mine receive the fix? Also, I understand VKD3D-Proton must adopt this Vulkan patch too first, anyone know when exactly they'll do that? I'm kind of looking to swap to Linux finally, but I play a couple DX12 games and am really excited to know that very soon, that 25-40 percent performance drop I was experiencing will be fixed (or should be fixed). Just wanna know what the deal is.
