So, I've been thinking about swapping over to Linux as I am so damn bored of Windows. I don't have the issues everyone complains about on Windows, But just want to change into something fresh.

I need a Linux Distro that would be pretty familiar to me coming from Windows 11,

• I can game on without any Virtual Machines running Windows, I'm talking games like Horizon Zero, Assassin's Creed, God of War, Valorant etc etc.
• Edit Videos and Photos etc etc
• Use my typical CAD software like Autocad, Sketchup etc etc.

And please, non of the typical Linux build it yourself from scratch crap. I want a Modern Linux Distro that gets consistent feature updates etc that works similar to the Windows UI but ye know, Fresh and Better.

Update: I also typically use OneDrive a lot since I am a Cabinet Maker and tend to make my Designs etc etc on Autocad and save them onto Onedrive to access on my work Computer and CNC.

Problem:

Enabling the ray reconstruction setting (which is needed for the highest shadow quality setting in the "full RT" path-tracing mode) causes the screen to go black.

Workaround (it's actually fixed):

Change your runner to either Proton Hotfix or Proton Experimental "Bleeding Edge". See here how to enable the latter: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Proton-Versions

No other fix needed. It's just the older runners experiencing the mentioned problem with the latest game update.

_______________________

Hint:

While you are at it, also take note of now being able to enforce the DLSS4 Transformer Model via the newly added dxvk-nvapi parameters, which now supports clear-text format for the names of the environment variables needed. The new Indy update does not automatically use mentioned model but seems to go with the default CNN-based one.

The newer model is still in beta (if I understood Nvidia correctly) but already offers less VRAM usage and better image quality.

See my thread over here or the very good dxvk-nvapi Wiki here: https://github.com/jp7677/dxvk-nvapi/wiki/Passing-driver-settings#drs-settings for details on how to achieve that.

Notes on performance re: the new DLSS4 Transformer Model:

For RTX40 and 50 Series, using the new model for SR ("Super Resolution" = Upsampling) and RR ("Ray Reconstruction") should be fine. Older series still can use it for SR, but the RR one will hit fps pretty hard.

If the above stuff about models and enforcement sounds like Klingon to you and you also wonder how the performance and image quality will actually look like, you can check the Digital Foundry "deep dive" video here: https://youtu.be/rlePeTM-tv0?&t=803

Happy whipping around the evil guys! :-)

Wine 10.2 is the latest development released with new features now available for the Windows compatibility layer, plus they also recently put up vkd3d 1.15. This is a huge part of what makes Proton able to run Windows games on Steam Deck and other Linux platforms.

Valve have released a fresh update to the special Proton Hotfix to fix up issues on Steam Deck / Linux across Marvel Rivals and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

I'm mainly using portproton from linux-gaming.ru, mostly because wine seems hard to setup and i don't really like having steam running in the background, it's simple and customizable, but i've never seen anyone use it or reccomend it, any idea why, and if you already know this, why are you (or not) using it

Hello gamers,

I'm about to build a PC which will be primarily meant for gaming.

The constraints of the build are

1. Color theme - White with RGB
2. Storage and cabinet have already been bought and cannot be changed
3. I already have monitor/KB/mouse

This is my initial selection of parts

(Equivalent link from pcpricetracker - https://pcpricetracker.in/b/s/05f15e05-817a-4145-80ee-a0170d1f5962)

Component Brand Processor AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Gaming Desktop Processor Motherboard Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX AM5 ATX RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB CL30 (16 GB x 2) (White) DDR5 6000 MHz Storage WD Black M.2 NVME PCI Gen4 1 TB Cabinet Fractal Design Focus 2 (White) Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo ARGB Air Cooler (White) Graphics Card AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB PSU Corsair CX750M 750W 80 Plus Bronze

My use-cases are

1. I'm not interested in RTX/DLSS. I won't be playing very high-end games; mainly last-gen games, indies, at 1440p max. Will definitely be playing Minecraft with shaders
2. I might do some streaming eventually but not for a huge crowd; mainly for friends and family.
3. I won't be overclocking, no heavy video editing

My queries are

1. Are the part selection good? What would change in this build and why?
2. Does this build need any extra fans? It currently has 2 front intake fans only
3. Component dimension? Will the air cooler fit inside the case?
4. Does the case provide a built in RGB controller or do I need to buy one?
5. Is the PSU wattage alright or should I go for more? (I will use CPU/GPU on stock settings)

Thank you in advance.

Hey so I'm upgrading my pc (and I'm essentially swapping out all components along with the case too lol) and I'm hearing more positive opinions about it lately and it's making me consider switching from windows to some kind of begginer distro. Problem is; I've heard nvidia and linux really don't like eachother and some driver problems arise often but idk to what degree and if it really is something to worry about.

For specifics here's what will be my build after all the parts arrive;

r7 5700x
rtx 3070
MSI B550M PRO-VDH
4x 3200hz 8gb DDR4
be quiet system power 10 850W (plus gold)

as for games I care about playing on this set up I have cyberpunk to finish, elden ring dlc, minecraft, wanted to play wukong too.

Anyways hope you guys can help and thank you from the mountain :]

I'm trying to play ffvii rebirth on my steam deck but it keeps on crashing whenever there's an action scene. It gets frozen with the audio still running and then the screen gets black and simply returns me back to the launch screen. What am I supposed to do?

I'm still here for it, and I know it's already 1000 times better than it was in the past; but it's definitely not ready for average users yet. Even with Steam running Proton I've spent the past few days messing with all of my games and trying to get ones to run that just won't. Proton-db has a hundred different answers and none of them seem to work.

The games I can run are mostly fine, but still took more fiddling with to set up through steam and in game than they ever did on windows. I don't expect everything to work perfectly on Linux when it wasn't developed for it, but that's exactly why windows is still the only place for reliable gaming. I download a game through steam on windows and it just works! Obviously just my opinions on running steam games through Linux so far, but it seems like a speed bump most people who have only used Windows or a console won't get past.

Hi there. I have a laptop with NVIDIA RTX 3070 GPU and AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, 16 GB RAM, currently running Arch linux with Hyprland. Cyberpunk performance is quite mid, ~57 fps at its very best on medium settings (I recall it certainly being at least stable 60 fps on Windows). Tried changing different settings, Proton versions, Hyprland to Plasma X11, no noticeable difference. All drivers are installed. Haven’t tested other games yet.

Is it normal performance for NVIDIA on linux or is it possible to make it slightly better?

I'm switching to Linux for some light blender and gaming. I'm thinking to use bazzite or steam os. I'll use my old workstation, it use a 5820k, x99-a, 32gb ram. It had a rtx3060 for a while , but since I moved to a newer workstation i took the rtx . So currently it use a gtx1070 but I'm thinking about switching to a rx6600 (2nd hand). What do you think?

It's mostly been the same ,linux just has better performance than windows.

After switching to ext4 for the fs part the huge load times have reduced a lot like for gtav it took 20 f mins but now it takes 2 min at max to start.and from 15 to 20 fps,now I get 30 fps.

I have started to play many indie games and it runs great.i have tried games like ultrakill,tunic,hollow knight, blasphemous (both parts) and many other.its fun to play those and I get very smooth stutter free gameplay even when recording it with obs

I even added gta san and gta 4 to my collection. Rdr which didn't work due to some dx12 issue is now running fine with way better fps than windows.

Just 1 final issue is the slant glitter/starry line in gta4 which seems to be a very old unfixed bug,I hope someone can give me a fix for it in the comments.

I'm trying to make the switch from Windows 11 to a dual booted Bazzite system using the KDE installation but I'm very particular about my sensitivity and want to mirror it on both OS.

I couldn't find any system settings to do this and ChatGPT keeps sending me in circles with fake programs on github so I can't find a way to do this on KDE.

If anyone could point me to a program that can do this it would be much appreciated.
