Gray "floor" in CS2
Nobara - Windows 11 for gaming
Hi everyone,
Let me give you some context. I've been an active Linux user for about 3 or 4 months, ever since I got a new laptop and installed Linux Mint alongside Windows 11 in a dual-boot setup. Mint has made me really happy, and I no longer use Windows 11 on my laptop at all because I get better battery life, more control, customization, and a bunch of other features I really value.
With that in mind, I decided to do the same on my desktop PC, which I mainly use for gaming (AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12C, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti). I ended up installing Nobara on a separate partition. The thing is, even though I enjoy experimenting and learning by solving issues (and Nobara did come with a few, like graphics glitches after sleep mode), I’m starting to question the point of this setup.
Even after installing Wine and other tools, I don’t really see the benefit of playing games—already installed on my W11 partition—from within Nobara. Am I missing something? Is it really worth having a separate Linux gaming partition? Or would it make more sense to just use a Linux distro more focused on productivity, and leave W11 strictly for gaming?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I really want to use my 4k120 TV with an AMD card through HDMI. Is displayport-to-HDMI the best solution?
I'm on a nvidia GPU right now and want to switch over to AMD. The biggest thing stopping me is that I will lose 4k120 over HDMI 2.1 support. I want to try and work around this.
I've heard and read so many posts where people got it working using a displayport>HDMI adapter and CFW. I have no idea where to start with this though. Ideally I'd want to test that this solution works on my nvidia card before committing to the switch.

Visual artifacts on PS2 emulation on Mint
I have visual artifacts in all games. Same games run perfect on m3 pro. I suspect this is drivers issue, not directly related to psxc2.

Low fps/gpu usage on monster hunter wilds
Noob user here I tried Monster Hunter Wilds on Bazzite, but the game ran extremely poorly, stuttering a lot, usually hitting 28/30 fps without FG and staying between 40/50 with FG. What caught my attention was the GPU usage, rarely exceeding 50%, regardless of the graphics settings and fsr at 1080p.
I also tested it on a fresh Cachyos installation, and the result was the same.
Afterwards, I reinstalled Windows 11 and tested it on that. The result was the opposite, with me managing to reach 60 fps on the low graphics settings and achieving an average of 110 with the game on medium/FSR quality and fg on, with GPU usage always at maximum.
I tested the game on the latest stable version of Proton, on Proton-GE 10.7 and 10.8, on Experimental, and on Cachy Proton.
I also tried some commands I saw people using on ProtonDB, but none of them worked.
My PC specs: Ryzen 5 5500 Rx 5700 XT 8 GB 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz
Can anyone shed some light on this? I know the game is poorly optimized, but the performance discrepancy is huge between linux and windows.

New RX 7600 thermal throttling?
I recently upgraded to an RX 7600 (specifically Sapphire RX 7600 Pulse Gaming OC). It's currently paired with a R5 2600, obviously not a very strong CPU but I'm not sure if that's the issue. I played High On Life and it ran perfectly fine with few minor stutters, which is fine for me.
Here's a picture of MangoHud while playing No Man's Sky on High preset. https://i.imgur.com/SXnSPSi.png For comparison, I just watched a benchmark of the same GPU, same game and same settings with the guy averaging 120 FPS.
Mangohud is constantly showing thermal throttling and sometimes power throttling as well, which I read is possibly a bug and the card is not actually throttling. So why am I only getting 60 FPS when neither the card nor any single CPU core is fully utilized?
I'm using corectrl to undervolt and OC the card. I tried not changing anything, I tried only increasing power limit and setting power profile, same results. I'm also setting the CPU's governor to performance and also currently using zen kernel. The card doesn't reach it's max frequency (2755MHz supposedly) in this game and it's like it's actually thermal throttling. Same thing happened in BeamNG btw. I did not test other games yet because the card is literally brand new.
EDIT: Just found a similar post and the guy enabled Above 4G decoding and Resizable Bar and it solved it for him. Not for me unfortunately. Tried without rebar, also tried disabling Fsync and Esync. Btw I'm averaging 120FPS in High On Life and the card is being utilized properly.

VR on Linux - VRChat using an Apple Vision Pro?
Hi, just taking my first steps into doing VR on Linux. I just REALLY, really dislike Windows. I'm a fairly experienced Linux administrator, retired now for about 5 years.
My first goal is to get VRChat running on Linux.
So, I have a PC with an Intel i9, an Nvidia 4090, zads of RAM and SSD space. I am running Windows 11. I have a Bigscreen Beyond headset, and the Valve base stations and hand controllers, and I have been running DCS, MSFS 2024, and VRChat on this setup without problems (or actually, without more problems than most people seem to have!).
On the Linux side, I have Fedora 42 dual booting on that PC. I have SteamVR and VRChat installed on it (through Steam, natch). It is my understanding from reading Steam's documentation on SteamVR for Linux that the Beyond will simply not work with the Linux proprietary Nvidia drivers at this time. That's OK, because I also have an Apple Vision Pro headset, and I have had some luck in the past connecting the PC to the AVP using ALVR, at least when using Windows.
I have installed ALVR on my Linux partition. When I run it on both the PC and the headset, I am getting connected, and I'm not seeing any obvious errors being logged. Unfortunately, I'm only getting "wireframe" in the headset, it's not actually showing me any images yet. Still, progress!
Do I have a chance to get this working? It would be nice if audio worked through the headset, but I can certainly work around that if it doesn't.

Which distro is best for a beginner?
Hi so I’m new to the concept of Linux but I’m eager to give it a shot. I’ve looked into a few distros such as Mint, Cachy, and Bazzite. I was curious which one would be the best for someone who’s used Windows and Mac for years and looking for an easier setup, while getting the best gaming experience?

Good mouse with keypad on Linux
Hello everyone. I am currently using a Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite which I love the feel of, but sadly has a massive issue when I use it on Arch involving the pointer movement. It also does not have support from ckb-next.
Are there any comparable mice that have Linux support? I'd prefer vendor supported open source drivers but if the usermade drivers work great, that's okay too.
The issue I'm having is documented here

why isn't official steamos beta being discussed often on this group?
greetings, i write this question as casual linux user who switched from windows 10 since two years ago, during my distro hopping period, i tried out almost everything steamos based distro out there and all of them had one thing in common: they push new updates to the system on daily basis, and sometimes they even require to reinstall the whole system in case of kernel updates like nobara, but i didn't encounter such thing on official steamos, valve occasionally push system update and can be updated while on game mode, not to mention the decks plugins which allows for updating flatpaks within game mode. so far I've been using it for about two months, and given how smooth and seamless the user experience has been for me, i feel like it should be brought up as a viable gaming distro in my opinion.
