Was watching this comparison video between Windows and Linux. Windows is generating a lot more FPS than Linux, but it looks to me like it's stuttering more a lot more too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyyw2OhHODY

Maybe this was just a weird fluke?

headset mic and headphones are both seen as the same input when using surround 5.1 output + input and gives rapid extremely loud clicking sound, like as fast as mc drag clickers speed.... idk how else to explain it, but they are seen as separate devices on analog stereo output + mono input and has no issue, but i need surround cause i play games like cs

no its not wireless

no its not 3.5, its usb

im new to linux so idk what im doing so i need the explanations to where a baby can understand it and i can copy paste needed stuff if i have to do anything in terminal

Running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Hardware

- Ryzen 7 5800X

- NVidea 2070 Super

- Gigabyte AX370 Mobo

- 32GB DDR4 @ 3200

​

I am new to this, I am trying to make the transition from Windows to Linux/Ubuntu

​

So, I have have been scouring threads online trying to solve this issue before creating a new one. I have tried a few things with .asoundrc and asound.conf to no avail. Audio works in general. I can open up Firefox, go to YouTube, and it works. I open up PulseAudio Volume Control, there isn't even a stream for the game I am trying to open.

Weird things that may be indirectly causing issues:
- I have my games loaded onto a pair of striped BTRFS disk in Raid0, I would like to keep this for speed since they are hard disk, and to not have to re-redownload 1.2TB of games, but will do what I must.
- Steam will not recognize these drives unless I run it as root. ```sudo steam``` does not work, I must do ```sudo su``` then ```steam```.

- Primarily running with Proton Experimental, but no luck with Proton 8.0 either. Both of those are on the main disk in ```/```, so are Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) and the Steamworks Common Redistributables.

​

Any help is appreciated, thank you for your time.

Has anyone else managed to get Infection Free Zone to run? It installs for me just fine but when I try to launch the game in Steam I get an error about needing DirectX 11. I have other games that need DirectX 11 that run just fine. Any ideas?

day 1-2

i've decided to go with ubuntu 24.04 after dealing with issues with fedora 40 kde. plasma was not playing well with my nvidia gpu. graphical interfaces were glitching/disappearing. if not for that i wouldve stayed on fedora. ubuntu seemed to be the next logical choice for someone new who doesnt want a stock/windows like experience. while i have tried linux distros in the past this is my first time sticking to it when issues arise. my gaming performance is slightly less then in windows in some games but not noticeably bad , at least not in the games that work. duke nukem 3d megaton edition for example, would not launch correctly in its native linux port. i switched to a exe through proton 8, where after moving 2 feet in game all textures that i couldnt see in the first frames/ the ones out of my spawn sight where blacked out. Then the game crashed. also couldnt get bo2 multiplayer to launch . proton said bo2 was good to go but it was a no go for me regardless of what proton i used.

my specs for reference

r5 5500 , rtx 4060 , 32 gb ddr4 @ 3200 , 1tb nvme ssd(for os) , 1tb sats ssd(for games )

i recently got minecraft working with open jdk 21 , which i downloaded multi snaps with that name/ something adjacent to it and none of them worked. or atleast i couldnt figure it out.

any ideas for what i should do in situations where games just dont work with proton ? is there anyway to force them to work or should i give up on them? why didnt the linux native version work? both duke and dead island 1 native refused to work

Hi, I am at my wits end trying to add a second SteamLibrary on a secondary drive. It simply will not and am looking for help. I have followed the official guide to mount my drive and configure fstab (https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=561). I have set 777 permission on all the folders in the secondary drive. I have tried to mount both btrfs and ext4, no dice. It is not a flatpak either. Any help appreciated!.

Greetings, this is my machine:

Linux Mint 21.3 XFCE

The system is in spanish, installed steam (native, but flatpak aslo has the same problem) that is also configured in spanish:

Latinamerican spanish, but also in Spain spanish happens the same

I know I have to install protontricks to install a couple of components to make the audio work right in Bully, but anyway:

When I try to run the game it starts in english even though I selected spanish before in the game properties:

https://preview.redd.it/qtvz7itwrwwc1.png?width=958&format=png&auto=webp&s=06100770ea1104bc7bbe1b0a2bdfe815b25af1bd

I know the game has spanish support as I can play it in spanish using Windows.

And I know I still have to install a couple of things through Protontricks, but the language stays in english no matter what.

Is there any way to force through steam, wine, winetricks or protontricks the spanish language?

Even on my Linux Mint Cinnamon Desktop the game runs in spanish, I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if there's something I have to change.

Edit: The game runs smooth and looks great, I can install the silentpatch and the widescreen fix with no problem, but I would feel more confortable if I could set the language to spanish.

Any ideas?

I switched back to Windows until the explicit sync thing is up and running. Quite quickly Chrome started randomly going black except for the webpage if I open the start menu, and trying to change settings in the Control Panel makes it freak out and have to be closed from the task manager. On this laptop (ThinkPad P50) the experience is actually best with X11 and Nvidia lol!

Not sure why this is, but suddenly Steam is opening the terminal when trying to browse files. Is this due to some steam update and something went wrong or something else? Worked fine so far. I have the standard version from the repo installed, not the flatpak.

Arch linux, Gnome.

Anyone else had this issue?

Just recently we had the Fallout 4 "next gen" update, which came with some issues. Thankfully, Valve are on the case with Proton Hotfix.

I wanted to play clash of clans on my PC but I couldn't install the app using crossover, Is there an other way?

It’s been a long road of buying new but defective parts,it’s all worth it now. it’s been over a year since I left console, and about 6 months on Linux. I’ll never go back to either.

I recently changed some components in my PC including my gpu (which is now nvidia) and I have to reinstall my system, so I’m looking for a distro that is stable, well maintained, preferably gaming oriented, preferably with nvidia drivers already and that I can use as my only system (without needing windows ). I use it for gaming and game development mostly.

I tried Nobara in the past (with my amd gpu) and it worked great but I’m not thrilled with the fact that is a one man project.

I have never tried bazzite or any atomic desktop so that could be an interesting experience.

I love pop_os but with gnome 42 it feels kinda old at this point and it seems that 24.04 won’t arrive soon.

I would appreciate your recommendations on any distro you want to recommend me.

My specs CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Ram: 32gb Gpu: RTX 4060ti

The only hardware that I have that may need a driver is my huion drawing tablet.
