The crazy coders at Valve had been making the monthly top lists manually this whole time, but no more. They've given their monthly top-releases charts a fresh makeover and you can scroll all the way back to the release of Half-Life 2.

So, I've been running Fedora with my 4060 for a while now and honestly, it works great. updated to Fedora 42 recently, wayland is running fine and I haven't noticed any major bugs or performance loss in games or KDE. anyway, I'm looking at a 7800XT with a good discount right now and those extra 8gb + horsepower seem like a good deal. question is, do I need to do anything or I just need to swap the GPU with the Amd one? the latest Mesa version is already installed and all. btw, if you have a 7800XT let me know about your experience with it

Hi! I am planning to build a new PC, and am quite interested in switching to Linux from Windows, and would need a bit of advice from users.

Basic gist of the build: - AMD processor and GPU - at least 1 m.2 and another SSD. Maybe will go for 2 m.2, will see what I can afford. - 32gb dual channel ram

What I want to do: - gaming. Not hardcore gaming, i don't need ray tracing and shit. I mainly play RPGs. Either steam or GOG. Sometimes piracy (yarr) - various document/ppt/spreadsheet creation and editing. I can do just fine with Google docs, since the collaborative/sharing part is useful. For ny personal notes I use Obsidian - Nord VPN is essential.

My questions: - which Distro would be fitting? I don't really have the time to dive deep from the start, I would like a simpler/user friendly option. - would Google Drive work normally? - besides Proton, what else would be an essential? - do I need antivirus and antimalware software? - what would be the cons nobody talks about, in using Linux instead of Windows? - any other advice I missed?

Thanks!

So, today, my brother comes over since he's in town for a few weeks, and we get nostalgia. We decide to play an old Minecraft modpack (CrazyCraft 3). Only problem is that the only launcher with it is a decade old and only supports Windows. I try with regular Proton... Nothing.

I start to feel the oncoming headache of 6 hours debugging. I decide to try ProtonGE, cuz why not?

BOOM! WORKS OUT OF THE BOX! I highly suggest trying it if regular Proton does not work with a game.

So, the other day (on the release date) I chose to finally experience my game of choice with the least latency possible on Linux (Wayland native). So, I installed it and added the PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 flag to the launch options. It ran, but then I noticed that the game had mouse acceleration enabled by default.

Now the reason why I am saying this is that I love having mouse acceleration on during my time on the desktop, but in games, you can imagine how bad it can be. Proton gave me an experience which was better than Windows in that regard.

I know where this issue is possibly coming from. Back with no Wayland driver there was the X server running, which possibly had the function disabled (because it was only assigned to that window), now with a unified Wayland driver for the game and the desktop you have a unified setting for the acceleration being on and off. So the setting is universal, like it was in Windows. But my point is that back with Proton 8 (stock), the issue did exist. The issue was later fixed with some version between Proton 8 and GE's 8-25, so it was most likely seen as an issue. I mean that it is like taking a step backwards.

This issue has to be addressed or if you do not agree with that tell me your reasoning for it. Also could you please include a temporary solution to this matter? To be clear, going back to Proton 9 (although, very temporarily I have) is not a solution for me, as I want to have the native Wayland driver.

Thanks for reading. I might make a video over this post too.

I'm glad to now be an Arch User. And I'm happy it didn't take too much technicality to get my games running.

Now to see if I can't get my dead uncle's old game from sourceforge working since it wasn't ever intended to be compiled on windows

I want to amend the title to be "android emulators for games" since there *are* emulators which focus on development and testing applications. The main complaint with these are that they are slower than the below applications.

There's a ton of proprietary android emulators (on other operating systems) like mumu, nox, ldplayer, bluestacks etc but there aren't many which have like an "open source" spirit (even on other operating systems).

Of course there's waydroid, but it has limitations compared to the examples listed above. The previous examples have wider GPU support for example (nvidia)

There are lots of open source emulators for an assortment of game consoles and other devices, programs stuff like qemu for different architectures. There just doesn't seem to be a similar open source community for android emulators even though it's clear from the many proprietary alternatives, that there are many people who want android emulators.

Hi all,

I'm trying to sort out a problem I'm experiencing playing World of Warcraft on my machine.

So about 2 weeks ago there was an update that went out for World of Warcraft (in the battle.net client) that broke playing for a bunch of linux users. The fix seems to be to update Wine versioning to Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.6+ or Proton 10 beta. I've tried both and they both do address the breakage from the patch but as a result of updating it now appears gaming performance has taken a huge hit. When I am in combat in game the game becomes extremely laggy & choppy, appearing as if it's dropped down to ~20 frames per second even though the game is still reporting to me ~140 fps. It makes the game nearly impossible to play.

I've tried playing the game through Lutris as well as CrossOver and the issue seems to occur for both options there. I honestly don't know what else I can try to do to fix this. I posted in Lutris forums & discord for help but unfortunately no dice. It feels like perhaps there is some pretty bad regression in Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.6 that could be fixed but I don't even know how to report a bug to the owners / maintainers of Wine to have such an issue fixed? I'm also able to confirm prior to the need to update to Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.6 I was playing WoW with plenty high FPS without this issue so I definitely know the machine I'm playing on is at minimum capable of performing significantly better than it is now.

Hardware / Software if relevant:

• Distro: Pop!_OS

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600

• Memory: 32GB

I really like KDE but that many icons makes it so cluttered, I tried dragging them to like group them with no luck, it occupies like such a huge portion of the task bar and I wish it behaved like Windows where if there's more than 3 icons it would group them together automatically.

Am I missing a crucial setting here?
