I'm on Windows 11, but I'll be switching to Linux Mint soon. Currently, I'm using an Elgato 4K S to record my PS5 gameplay (I won't be streaming), but I don't know if it'll continue to work the way it does now after I switch. I'd be glad to get your recommendations.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER right now but want to upgrade and have found a Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000 at half price - is this a good idea?

If not, can I get recommendations on a powerful card?

Im running Kubuntu atm but am flexible and can change OS if its required or better for gaming, as all my work related stuff is done in the browser any way

Hi, which distribution would you recommend for a beginner Linux user so that I can play games without hassle, but also practice using Linux. For example, I came across Bazzite — is that a good option?

I decided to test Linux gaming and installed Steam on NixoOS. After setting `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1` the GameGuard worked fine and Helldivers started OK. But squad invited don’t work to either direction. The invites go through Steam both ways, but the ”establishing link” always timeouts. The computer has dualboot and Helldivers works without any issues on Win 11/Steam. Any ideas what could be wrong.

Also, the HDR option is not becoming available in HD2 even KDE/Plasma 6 has HDR on and the monitor is in HDR state. But that’s a smaller issue.

Hello guys. I hope talking about piracy isn't a problem here.

I was wondering if there are advantages or disadvantages of adding "3rd party" games to Steam or Lutris.

Currently, i just use Steam, and add the games externally, and everything works fine. So i wonder why would i use Lutris? Are there any advantages of adding the games to Lutris, rather than Steam?

Ive dipped my toes into Pop!_OS recently and was impressed how out-of-the-box its was and impressed how quick I was up gaming but have been struggling with my audio interface. I have a Steinberg H224 which is USB class compliant.

The only issue im running across is input. I can hear just fine and can switch between monitors and headphones but no mic input or channel works, checked through discord and test clips with audacity to confirm its something software side.

Any advice would be great as this is the only hangup I have to dump Windows for good.

All my games using Lossless Scaling are now flickering every three seconds and stuttering. When I clear the Proton files, the game runs normally without any issues, but the moment I launch the game a second time, the stuttering returns. What in the world is happening?Its like my screen is dimming up and down everytime this happens.

I have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX9070xt. I play videogames and program AI related apps. I'm looking for the best destro that can do both. I've heard fidora fits best but it looks outdated to me (UI wize). I really like the concept of Garuda and it looks great but since it's arch I don't want to waste 5 hours every time I want to add a package.

As the title says, I'm contemplating moving to linux over windows. I've been a windows user for years, but lately, their OS has felt more and more like a heaping pile of dogshit, the constant updates nobody asked for, the AI they added (tried rolling back the update, but it won't let me, need to be an admin...I am the admin dumbass!) among other things. My biggest question, before I make the journey to these lands unknown though is, what games will I be able to play and what games won't I be able to play. I've heard from a few sources that most games can play on linux, with only a small majority that can't, so thought I'd ask here since I always get good info on reddit. The games I play mostly are survival games like once human, dune awakening, world of warcraft and diablo. If it can run those games then awesome. Other than that, what other perks if any are there to switching to Linux? Please let me know. And thanks for anyone that takes the time to answer and give input.

I am new to Linux gaming and I have Mortal Kombat 1+2+3 from GOG which provides a .exe file for each game. I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.

I don't understand how to install .exe games on Linux so I need some help getting these installed and running. Thanks

Hi! For 2 days now I have a problem with my pc. While playing Minecraft 1.21.11 and using Photon shaders (neoforge, sodium and iris mods), my game (and os) frezees, after around 30 mins. I can still hear audio, however I cannot do anything else. After around 10s my pc unfreezes and minecraft crashes. If anyone have any idea why that happens, please help, thanks. Can it be caused by Photon shaders? I've used other ones (like Complementary Shaders) before and never had these issue.

PC:
- Ryzen 5700x
- Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT
- 16 gb 3200 MHz ram
- 750W Asus Rog psu
- OS PikaOS 4 x86_64
- Kernel: 6.18.2-pikaos
- amdgpu 23.0.0-1

Here's dmesg output:

Translation, because it's pt-br
120hz, full RGB range, vrr adaptive (its enabled in games but i get mild flickering on the desktop) HDR enabled, 10bits color

Everywhere I see people unable to get these in tandem, but for me it worked out of the box with cachyOs KDE. I have a Samsung TV and an AMD 9070xt

I'm sure there's something I'm missing, can someone enlighten me? Is that the 4:2:2 instead of the 4:4:4? maybe that's what the color precision means (should be clearer if it's that)

I recently got a 9070XT and I've been trying to find the best way to get FSR4 and Anti-Lag to work for Linux. A lot of the tutorials online seem out of date, and it's actually quite simple in some cases. Just adding a launch command.

However, I can't quite find if or how I could do it for my Uplay and Epic games that I installed through Lutris.

Is it doable, or the fact that Lutris is executing a launcher first and then the game messes up the launch commands?

Hello, im on CachyOS running latest drivers and updates with a 9070XT, 5700X, 32GB 3600mhz CL18, 1TB Nvme, 750W Gold PSU. The game plays mostly at 100+ FPS on High with some FPS drop to 70-80 but these feel like 40 FPS with ghosting and such. At first i find it weird that i cant play this comfortably at Ultra with these specs but now idk what to do about this any help is welcome thanks.

I know there are tools like gamemode which can govern CPU and IO and all that, but I am asking about the individual games graphic settings. On my Windows computer there was a tool that came with Nvidia software that would detect my games and settings like high, med, low quality settings, other things like RTX, antialising, etc... and then recommend settings that would take advantage of my system specs. I am looking for a tool basically that looks at my systems hardware, and then recommends what graphic settings my game should use. does anything like this exist for linux.

I'm planning on swapping from Windows, and I've never used Linux before so I'm considering Linux Mint as it's supposed to be user friendly, but now I'm wondering if it'll even work on my laptop 😅

I mainly use my laptop for gaming, I don't have wifi so I don't play online games anymore 😅

Edit: Specs. 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz 2.90 GHz 8.00 GB (7.65 GB usable) 00356-02707-88957-AACEM 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
