So this is an odd question, but I have a 9060 XT. I used to have a 3060, had it for 5 months to be exact and DLSS 4, not 3, 4, just doesn't look as good as FSR4 does, and FSR4 AA looks sharper. FSR4 Ultra Performance for example just looks significantly more like "yeah, that can look like 1080p to the untrained eye", on par if not better than DLSS L.

And I know many people will say that it is on par with DLSS 4 and that of course it'll look better in certain scenarios, or how it upscales may just be more pleasing to my eyes.

I can't go back and test DLSS as I'm in the process of selling my 3060. I already thought DLSS 4.5 looked pretty good too, so I'm not saying DLSS looks bad. But I'm just curious given how many reviewers and individuals say FSR4 is on par with 4 and a bit worse than 4.5.

The only reason I've had to keep Windows 11 has been gaming, but I just can't anymore. I'm switching to Linux gaming within the month, likely within the next two weeks. I have an NVIDIA GPU, so I am thinking either Bazzite or CachyOS.

There's only two minor issues. One, I have never gotten WINE to work every time I tried it (I've used Ubuntu for years). And two, the games I want to be able to play have proprietary launchers. I play WoW and Warframe with my son, and Cyberpunk 2077 on my own. Everything else I want Steam is more than adequate for. So WINE and Proton seem inevitable in my future.

I'm no noob to Linux, but I feel like one to Linux gaming. So I ask for help/advice. Which OS is better for performance (especially with NVIDIA), WINE setup, and any launchers that have been written for Linux for the three mentioned games.

I know I am leaning on the community, and that I will have to learn. I just... I can't with Windows any longer. Help?

So I found out the other day that I could have 1 massive game folder that goes across all of my drives using mergerfs.

I have games on my nvme ssd, a raid 0 array, and an external ssd usb drive. Managing three different library locations in Lutris/Steam is a headache, and moving games between drives usually means updating paths and breaking shortcuts.

Using mergerfs I set up a "Union Mount" that takes all three locations and merges them into a single folder in my home directory "/home/Games". To the OS and my launchers, it looks like one giant drive.

It was simple as hell to set up just install mergerfs, and then update the fstab file.

HDR visualisation in Ori and the Will of the Wisps

This is the HDR visualization setting in SteamOS that can be enabled in the developer settings. Very useful for setting HDR in games as not all games give a nit value on their brightness sliders.

I use reshade and these effects to get the same overlay on w*ndows 11 for the same use.

Is there a tool that i am able to use to get this working on my own linux install?

My gaming laptop is brand new, less than 10 months old. Now booting Ubuntu for the past 2 months, anytime I play a higher performance game, my fans' speed never reaches the max of what Windows was hitting. I don't have any bios options to increase my fan speed. Is there anything I can do?

Hello!

I recently switched to linux (ultramarine/fedora 43 with gnome), and so far games were pretty plug-and-play. I was able to run Grounded and God of War without any issues, apart from performance issues in Grounded. I have an nvidia 3060 mobile and after a lot of troubleshooting I still have some issues with the drivers so I'm not too surprised by that.

However, I installed Mars First Logistics and that one hasn't worked as well. When just running it, it was zoomed in the upper left quarter of the game's rendered output. And changing the resolution made the image lower quality but not actually scaled differently. Using protontricks and winecfg, setting use virtual desktop solved the issue, but now I have the window decorations and the gnome top bar visible. I tried fiddling with some of the settings there but to no avail. And I also tried using gamescope but that did not work, it gave errors when launching the game, possibly due to my nvidia card.

Any other tips I could try?

Thanks!

Edit: I just tried on a different monitor and it seems to work perfectly without virtual desktop? I was using my laptop connected to a TV before and now connected to a monitor, both 4K. Not sure what would be different, scaling was set to 100% on the TV and 125% on the monitor so if anything, I'd expect the monitor to not work well...

Basically, I came from Win 11, and I in that OS I was running 1600 dpi - 0.43 in game sens (CS2), with a cheap Hyper X Pulsefire Core, obviously using Hyper X NGENUITY. Today I installed Pop! Os and everything feels good, but aiming at CS2 now is awful. My mouse drivers doesnt support linux, and I already tried Piper but it didnt recognized my device, so I couldnt change the DPI there either. Pop! only let me choose the mouse pointer velocity, and I dont know what I have to do to use it correctly. I was not using pointer acceleration on Windows, and I am not using it here too. How do you guys manage DPI and sensitivity overall? Should I go with the mouse velocity at 50? Was it supposed to be the "default"? Feels very strange on game

Hello everyone!

First off: I’m happy to make my (almost) switch to Linux (currently distro hopping, but caught my favorite one) and always got everything ready to set it up the way I want it to. My only problem is with TruckersMP. I can’t get it to work at all. Like I can install it using Proton Tricks and get it able to find the Euro Truck Simulator 2 path. But as soon as I launch it, I get the error 102, asking me if my path to the game is still valid/available. And since then I couldn’t really find a fix for it so far. Launching Euro Truck Simulator 2 itself though works just fine.

What I have tried so far:

- Installing it on the same prefix as Euro Truck Simulator 2

- Running it on different proton versions (including GE)

- Reinstalled it amounts of times as well as Euro Truck Simulator 2

- Replaced the files within from an original windows installation

- Launching it with sudo/giving it full access

- Trying this on different distros (CachyOS, EndeavourOS and Fedora Linux), giving the same error.

And yet, I can’t get it to work, so I’m asking if anyone got it working as did months ago.

I was following this guide on the TruckersMP Forum website: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/115291-install-truckersmp-launcher-on-linux/

I would be very grateful for any kind of solutions.

I just installed steam and the steam launcher is working fine. It's when I try to play a game when it goes awry. It goes from "launching" to "play" and it won't even launch the game. I also tried to use it on a platinum game just in case it was a proton problem but it was a no-go either, it didn't produce a crash log. I tried playing games on Heroic and it works just fine there. I have enabled Proton and added Proton launch options but it still won't work. Any tips?

I'm getting into linux gaming but I've always really struggled with KDE and don't personally love it. I'm sorry, I know a lot of people who like it, I don't want to trigger anyone. I loved Gnome 3 back in the day, and Cinnamon has carried the torch pretty well. Gaming, and wayland, seem to have left it somewhat behind. I've been trying to get used to KDE but I can tell that I still don't like it.

• There is no good unified design language between app and even system applets, and what design language there is, I don't really like, even with some intense themeing.
• There are too many built in KDE apps that all seem to break a lot and also have the above design issue. I haven't used a single built-in KDE app I actually like. And they all have stupid knames.

I'm trying Cosmic and it seems like an excellent answer. Rebuilt in Rust (whatever) against the modern wayland environment (big deal), it really seems to have a good design language, and a lot of UI is just lifted from Gnome which I am happy with.

My question is: Are there any feature dead-ends or foot-guns, especially when it comes to gaming, that I should be aware of with COSMIC? Do VRR and HDR and all those other seemingly very elusive features work properly under COSMIC? I don't see a VRR or HDR toggle in the options so I'm just hoping its working. I've tried to figure this out by googling but development seems so active I can't tell what is really accurate or just-around-the-corner dev wise. Should I just be using GNOME? Does that support the gaming display features?

Context: I have recently taken the plunge on my gaming computer now that the Nvidia drivers seem okayish, and I've been getting the lay of the land. Nobara is clearly an awesome distro aside from some major footguns like not using dnf update.
