Hello, I have been playing on the steam deck for about a year now and I am really happy with it. I have this old gaming Desktop (Intel CPU with and NVIDIA GTX 1050 or something like this) that I am interested in using like a console for the family to play small games on it (old Lego games for exemple). Only for gaming as the TV is already equipped for the rest (Netflix, DVD,etc). Have any of you realized the same project ? Which OS would you recommend to have both a good user experience and low maintenance (driver issues, ….) ?

Hello

I installed Epic Games via Faugus, but I’m having a display issue that I can’t fix. However, everything works fine with other platforms (like EA or Ubisoft). Could you help me resolve this problem?"

Thank You

Hey everyone, hope you are doing good. I used to play Counter Strike 2 somewhat stable with an RTX 3070 8GB, it has always been around 160 FPS peaking at 200 FPS on the middle preset. I upgraded to an RX 9070 XT 16GB, removed all the previously installed nvidia packages, installed the ones for AMD (iirc mesa and vulkan-radeon) and all of my other games got a huge performance boost. Counter Strike didn't. The peak FPS stayed about the same, but the game is barely playable, because it just keeps dropping to like 40 FPS all the time and it stay this way for tens of minutes, until suddenly going up to "normal" frame rates again. During this low frame-rare periods, all of my hardware seems to be underperforming, with the GPU at barely 40% usage.

I know from past experiences and research that this game runs slightly slower on Linux, but this is just out of the boundaries of what is "slower" and what is "broken". To be honest I have seen a very similar problem before with the Nvidia GPU, but it was several months ago and didn't happen nearly as frequently or as badly. Until it just stopped happening at all.

My software is Arch Linux running Wayland and Hyprland. I run CS2 natively, not the Proton version. I gradually update my system. This issue has been going on for since I upgraded the GPU, about 2 months ago, meaning that in the meantime I tested different kernel and driver versions, as system updates came in. I don't have any extra arguments on the CS2 launch options on the Steam compatibility settings, it's fully stock.

I don't identifying any thermal throttling, the GPU and CPU are running at about 45° C. Also, the computer is decently beefy with a Ryzen 9 5950x and 64GB 3200Mhz, it makes no sense to have a CPU bottleneck or anything like that.

Thanks! I'm happy to provide any further information. I'm not very experienced with Linux gaming (not really a gamer), so I'm not sure what matters.

I need some honest advice from the Linux crowd.

I’ve been on Linux full-time for over a year now and I genuinely don’t want to go back to Windows. Everything I care about works great for me on Linux, and I’m happy with my setup.

That said… I really miss GTA Online.

The single-player side runs fine, but online is basically a no-go because Rockstar refuses to enable or support anti-cheat on Linux. I understand it’s their game and their choice, but it still sucks knowing the only real solution is “just install Windows again.”

So here’s my dilemma: Is it worth giving up a Linux-only setup and reinstalling Windows (or dual-booting) just to play one game? Or is the better move to accept that Rockstar doesn’t care, stay on Linux, and stop supporting them altogether?

I’m genuinely torn. Part of me wants to play with friends again, and part of me feels like reinstalling Windows just rewards Rockstar for ignoring Linux users.

What would you do in my situation?

P.S. I use Gentoo btw 😉

when i boot the pc Linux is responsive and fast for a while but after a while it starts to lag a bit and the animations are laggy a bit and overall slower
but when i switch the power manegment settings or the power mode to any of the 3 options : power saver, balanced, performance mode
it becomes responsive again
note that it doesnt matter what power mode iam in if i was in perfromance mode and lag happenes and i switch to power saver it becomes responsive again
it feels like its a chache issue or some temp files that get deleted when i switch the power option
or the cpu throttles after a while (chat gpt told me that)
so any one have a clue why this happenes?
thanks

Due to the very unfortunate pricing of computer parts in my country, I have not been able to get a decent computer, instead I am stuck daily driving two unloved ghouls of technology I dare to call a graphics card and a processor. They are, respectively, the GT 710 and a first generation i5 CPU.

And thanks to Microsoft, I have been using Linux for all of my endeavors, which sadly does include gaming.

The gamer side of the Linux community has always promoted the OS as a really nice alternative for gamers tired of Windows, and often mention how games run better even on low-end.

But, well, as someone who is unfortunately stuck on the core of low-end, I simply find this to be not true. You see, I know that gaming on such low-end is nigh impossible anywhere including Linux, but it seems that my experience is far worse in Linux than Windows.

This is because Proton almost never works and I am mostly confined to natively supported games. Games I used to run before on Windows and Linux simply don't work anymore no matter which version I use and I can't even run launchers for some reason.

The solutions online I see always work for people with decent computers but never for me, who lost the entire day trying to run Battle.net on Lutris to try and play Overwatch 2. I don't play on Steam because I can't even make the game open there. I mean, I made it work but it ran at literally 1 FPS so it doesn't even count that much.

I simply don't know what to do at this point, it's like having to eat crackers and water because you can't reach the chocolate cookie jar atop the fridge. This is a legitimate feeling, not an analogy.

Anyways, this is more or less a venting post. Proton is absolutely useless for me most of the time.

And since I am here I might comment on the Battle.net problem I mentioned:

I can't launch Battle.net. That's it. I downloaded it but when I press play it does not launch on Lutris. I tried a version of GE-Proton 10-25 and it took me to the login screen, from which I log on and nothing shows up. In other Wine-GE version (8.26 if I am not mistaken) it actually shows the launcher but I cant see my games because there's an error saying "Oops"

Im using Debian 13.

Windows is driving me crazy. I have a laptop with an RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 7 6800h. And since the beginning of the year, when those first problematic drivers came out, I became very angry with this PC. The computer sometimes doesn't shut down completely (i have to force shut on power button), I often deal with crashes and artifacts when I try to close a game (any game), and some games are even unplayable, like The Witcher 3 (if I die, I get a crash on the loading screen, with many artifacts on the screen).

I ran DDU and tried many different drivers.

And I'm considering abandoning Windows. Besides games, I only use Microsoft Office and DaVinci Resolve. What's the learning curve like for someone like me with zero Linux knowledge? Because I have an Nvidia GPU, I know Bazzite isn't recommended, so i'm considering CachyOS.

I have no idea what's going on, but let me explain.

I'm trying to play a game called NIMBY Rails, it's only supported on windows. On Ubuntu, this game played perfectly fine, but now that I'm Arch, I'm having a few issues.

Firstly, most text is in an unreadable font, though this seems to be some kind of font anyway because I can barely make out the text knowing what it should be.

Secondly, the game utilizes open street map, and when I click what should be the 'continue game' button, it's all black, and the icons are all black squares. Some text is readable.

One thing I want to mention is that this game worked perfectly fine on Ubuntu, but when I switched to Arch all of this happened. I'm using proton 7.0 - 7.6 because that's the only version the game will work on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tried the newest version that is made with Rust, but the author said that Fedora users need to use the 4.0.0. I've also changed Proton versions several times but no dice.

And if it helps, I've installed the Nobara HTPC packages, but I don't think it made my OS immutable...

Any help will be much, much appreciated.

Whenever I change the volume on my Corsair void pro RGB headset in Debian 13, it resets the volume of my sidetone in alsamixer to 0. It does this when I use the profile "Analog Stereo Duplex" If I use pro audio, it doesn't reset but does so when I open my computer.

If I do alsactl monitor with the sidetone value at something else than 0, I get this line when I change the volume: node hw:3, #7 (2,0,0,Headset Playback Volume,0) VALUE This line doesn't repeat if I change the sound again with the sidetone kept to 0.

I also installed https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl which may be related I guess?

Why does this happen and how do I fix it?
