I sought online and found a bunch of stuff about old java trying to use too much memory because of a change in the Linux kernel, still, I couldn't apply to Minecraft any of the advices that people gave about java.

If someone could help I'd be extremely grateful :)

I am considering buying this capture card (EAN 840006677680, "Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro"), but I wanna check with you guys if you know if it is supported on Linux yet (as in, has a working driver, can use with OBS). I found an old thread on it, but nothing recent.

I run Kubuntu 24.10, with kernel version 6.11.0-29.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

tl;dr: is playing cs2 inside a virtual machine bannable now when cs (supposedly) uses AI anti-cheat?

im a linux user and dont like proprietary/closed source software which is why i dont prefer installing cs2 on my linux host machine even though it runs fine on linux nowadays.
i was thinking about passing through my second gpu to a windows virtual machine which i would use to play cs and other games as well.
i saw someone got banned from playing inside a VM in early stages of cs2 (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/183l7yl/psa_vm_users_playing_cs2_inside_a_vm_might_get/) but didnt find any recent bans related to playing inside a VM.

since cs2 doesnt use software/kernel anticheat playing inside a VM shouldnt be a porblem because the AI detects cheaters from their gameplay, hence using cheats on host machine while playing inside a VM would still get detected. ofc i wouldnt be playing faceit/esea etc, only on valve servers.
i dont want to lose my inventory nor my main account due to VAC ban when i could just be playing on bare metal on windows/linux host.

i didnt find anything related to playing inside a VM being forbidden from ToS and chatgpt gave me the same result.

is playing cs2 inside a VM bannable or not?
any resources or messages related to my question are highly appreciated

Hello everyone!

I wanna buy a gpu in the near future (I have a budget of around 300€, but I can go up to a maximum of 350€), and I've found three gpus that might interest me:

• The RX 9060 XT 8 GB
• The RTX 5060 8 GB
• The RX 6750 XT 12 GB

(I would have loved to get an RX 9060 XT or an RTX 5060 16 GB, but €400 is way too expensive for me)

And I'm hesitating between these three for different reasons: - The RTX 5060 seems good because of the drivers and the MFG, but I'm afraid that its use on Linux might be compromised (I heard about a 20% performance loss, idk if that's right) - The RX 9060 XT looks good, but I don't think it has MFG - And the RX 6750 XT looks great with its 12 GB, but its power consumption seems a little too high (240w iirc compared to 150w)

But in the end, I don't know if I'll need 12 GB, because I only play in 1080p.

(I'm planning to get a bequiet! 650W power supply for €70 with it. Also, I can't buy an used gpu)

Do you have any advice for me? I'm really torn! Thanks in advance, and sorry for my messy english :D

I know this question has been asked many times (because I looked them up) but we're here again. Is there any way I can run android games on my linux machine without much trouble or tinkering? Preferably without much overhead either. On windows Bluestacks does that. On linux nothing I've tried the last time (a couple months ago) worked without issues or lag.

I run multiple instances to play different games, and this is the ONLY thing stopping me from switching to linux.

Heroic Games Launcher: v2.18.0 released https://playingtux.com/articles/heroic-games-launcher-v2180-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

As of yesterday I started experiencing a weird mouse drift in CS2. It doesn't happen in any other game or while using the system, but while playing CS2 the mouse will continuously drift left or downward and not stop. Sometime it just goes away other times it wont, even after restarts and reboots. I am using ubuntu 24.04, playing CS2 on steam and the mouse is a Glorious O2 wired mouse. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi guys,

I want to daily drive a Linux PC for 90% gaming and 10% productivity work. Willing to wait more for money so I am able to buy better components. I made a list of components and have started buying them. Here it is:

https://preview.redd.it/be75wnx5plef1.png?width=1065&format=png&auto=webp&s=e68c4f540ce1f7d2c36828e25286217fa395b661

I'm looking mostly for 1080p gaming with maxed settings and not necessarily needing ray-tracing or other fancy stuff. Maybe some 1440p. Don't care much about fake FPS.

My main concern would be productivity I'd like to edit with stuff like kdenlive or Davinci Resolve and maybe do some Blender in the future, but AMD GPUs are quite slow compared to nvidia when it comes to productivity, although they play a lot nicer with games.

So is this build alright for productivity? Can I do work in a decent amount of time with a 9060XT or do I need to get, say, a 5060 Ti? I can do some tinkering so I'm alright with that as long as it possible for the software and hardware to get together. I don't need it to be uber-fast, just ok will do.

A youtuber compared these 2 GPUs on Linux here:

Besides the GPU conundrum, do you guys have other tips for my build?

Thanks

Hello there,

I'm trying to run Lego Star Wars : Skywalker Saga on my Linux Laptop. I got the game via the Epic Games Store and tried to play it via Heroic Games Launcher. It launches into Blackscreen and then just quits.

I'm new to Linux and have no idea what to do.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone. I have an old desktop with an i5‑4570 and a GTX 960.

I’d like to turn it into a “living‑room PC‑console” with as little tinkering as possible. I no longer have the time to spend on managing installations, updates, etc.

Also, I don’t want to try any Windows 11 hacks since the motherboard doesn’t have TPM. I had considered ChimeraOS, but it only supports AMD GPUs.

What solution or distribution would you all recommend?

Thanks :)

Hello. New to Linux and not great at self diagnosis yet so assitance would be appreciated. I have gone back to play Hitman3 since switching to Linux recently, and I have been getting serious performance issues where I can get ~90-100fps in empty rooms and closets, but go out where there is a crowd or mildly populated room and it plummets to ~40-60fps. I saw benchamrks with comparable hardware as mine gettting consistently better frames than I am at 4k while I am running in 1080p. This isn't even to mention the flickering I get and phantom menu letters that linger translucently on the screen like it got burned into the monitor from time to time. Finally, when I was on my fresh installation of Kubuntu and boot this game for the first time, it would let me turn on the settings for DLSS frame gen and other similar settings, but now it won't let me turn them on. Idk if its a drivers thing, or Heroic thing, but I put my as much helpful info as I could think to put below, and if any other information is necessary I am happy to provide it. Thank you in advance... I am really happy to ditch Windows and going back is not an option, so getting things running properly here would be great.

I have tried a couple different driver versions and have found that switching to windowed can fix the flickering for a while. I have tweaked graphics settings and checked to make sure there are no processes in the background..... is there something obvious I am missing?

Hello,

Default, or any other, system browser when used to play BF3 do not recognize EA App hosted on Lutris:

EA App launched via Lutris

Spoof header to look like windows in Firefox, Chrome, any other browser. Get screen to launch EA app:

Click continue and nothing happens.

Closed applications. Started again.

Click on quick match. Nothing

Find server with players. Click on Join Server

Started slot reservation. Switched server as that's stupid to wait so long.

EA app went in to tray. Error.

Shows that I'm playing when I'm not

Launched in hidden screen. Found in tray. Bad performance. Not sure is this due Wine, PC or network.

Man I did a lot to get here. Let's see if I can figure out performance issues. All of this did not work before and most of the time full app restart solved all the issues and Googling around.

And here we go again.

Hi there, I have been struggling with this for the past 2-3 hours and me and my best friend ChatGPT couldn't figure out why this kept happening. So I have this switch pro controller that I use to play minecraft with on windows, and I use prism launcher for minecraft and antimicrox to run the controller. The controller on windows works wonderfully due to antimicrox, however on linux it's a completely different story.

I use the latest version of Linux Mint as my distro, and I've installed dkms hid-nintendo and joycond, and joycond is actively running. The controller does connect to my laptop through bluetooth, it shows up in the terminal and in bluetooth devices, however I've tried:

- jstest-gtk
- AntiMicroX
- Qjoypad

and the controller shows up in none of them. I also tried adding the controller in Steam, yet it refuses to show up there as well. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or what else I can do? Thanks!

Hi all, after spending years mulling over the lack of HDMI 2.1 support on an AMD card under Linux, I'm getting closer to my wits' end. Even getting over the lack of VRR, I've noticed that native HDMI and different DP->HDMI adapters (Cable Matters, Caldigit) have different/inconsistent HDR behavior too.

I'm wondering if I could solve this by buying an Intel Arc Alchemist card for their reported internal DP-HDMI converters, and plugging my TV into the Arc card instead, using KWIN_DRM_DEVICES... to set up offloading.

I understand there should be a performance penalty due to sending the frames between GPUs, but... would it work? Does anyone have experience doing this with an Alchemist (or even NVIDIA) card? If so, how's VRR? HDR?

Thanks a bunch!
