Hi,I am currently using niri + dms and Plasma on CachyOS, but I am running into some weird refresh rate issues with my monitors.

in the terminal /settings it says i am on 180 or 300 but it was feeling laggy so i tested it on UFO frame rate tester on firefox.

On niri I am only getting 60 FPS on both my main monitor and my 2nd monitor.

On kde I am getting 300 Hz on the built-in monitor, but still stuck at 60 on the 2nd monitor.

I checked the wiki for niri and tried to set it up for a dual GPU system by setting render-drm-device "/dev/dri/renderD128".

• When I set it to NVIDIA, the 2nd monitor works, but the built-in monitor shuts off completely.
• When I use Intel on both, I get 60Hz on both, OR I can get 300Hz on the built-in only if I completely disconnect the 2nd monitor.

i could not find the same issue and When I asked an claude about it, it said it's a driver limitation.

Is there something I can do about this, or am I missing a config somewhere?

My Specs:

• OS: CachyOS x86_64
• Host: ROG Zephyrus M15 GU502LU
• Kernel: Linux 7.0.3-1-cachyos
• WM/DE: niri 26.04 (Wayland) / KDE Plasma
• Display 1 (Built-in): 15" 1920x1080 @ 300 Hz
• Display 2 (External): 27" Odyssey G5 2560x1440 @ 180 Hz
• CPU: Intel Core i7-10750H
• GPU 1 (Discrete): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile
• GPU 2 (Integrated): Intel UHD Graphics

I have very good NVMe and more modest SATA SSD. I’m a bit afraid of me going distrohopping or another super distro emerging (or Stramos becoming adequate and supported desktop OS) so what if I keep my OS on that SATA SSD and Steam and Heroic libraries on NVME drive?

Yes, this SATA ssd is dramless and nothing special but I’ve encountered zero downgrade in general OS usage between it and my expensive NVMe which is almost 2 percent used with my constant back and forth disteohopping.

Also if no benefit then maybe any downsides of doing it this way? I’m so much picky but even launch time has been the same as on NVMe drive. I’d like to have my games safely stored where I want them.

I think it might have started some weeks ago: gamepad would work fine either via bluetooth or wired connection. Now it works only via bluetooth. To be specific: it connects and works via bluetooth while also charging, but if bluetooth is turned off then the gamepad charges but is otherwise invisible to the system-- it only appears in Steam settings or System Settings menu of KDE Neon when connected wirelessly, even if charging by wire at the same time.

At this point I am wondering if the pad working via USB was a confused, false memory of mine. It definitely worked both ways before when I used Mint a few months back, though I had to jump through a few hoops to connect it via BT--Mint's GUI for bluetooth didn't work properly and bluetooth pairing was to be done through terminal commands. After installing KDE Neon I was overjoyed to find out that its GUI worked as it should... but now I wonder if I failed to notice non-working wired connection from the start. Is it a known issue, perhaps, with PS4 controllers or other devices?

For some reason, when I go to Geck and load up a map, the ground textures have dark spots that somehow represent different ground textures, and some even go unstable and flip into different textures (based on the position of the camera); can someone help me understand what's happening?

I just wanted to share how satisfied I am, being able to move on from Windows that constantly breaks with every new update and has so much bloat to my current setup which runs smooth, plays games well, while also retaining system stability while streaming with OBS. Linux is awesome!

I’ve been getting sick and tired of windows with its bloatware and such slowing down my pc, I was thinking about switching my os to either Linux Mint, or Linux Nobara (I hope I spelled that right) but I had heard some stuff like “Linux cannot play online games due to anti cheat systems and such” or “Linux does not run pc vr well”

So here are my questions: 1. Should I switch to either Linux Mint or Linux Naboro? 2. Will it be beneficial in any way? 3. Will I be able to run all my steam games, vr games (example VRChat), and emulators? 4. What features will I loose? 5. Will Linux run well with my AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU setup?

Using Bottles

Trying to play FFXI. I'm on an ultrawide monitor. Playing at 3440x1440 stretches the screen. Yet when I try to play at 2560x1440 the screen is STILL stretched. Turning on Gamescope in Bottles and setting the resolution to 2560x1440 fixes this.

Except there's one issue:

This game has the most annoying login system ever. To log in I must copy/paste my password and OTP code every time. The Wayland backend for for Gamescope doesn't support this. Trying to use the --backend sdl flag via the launch options for Gamescope in Bottles results in the image not appearing. Is there any fix or do I need to use Lutris or something?

Hey everyone — just wanted to share a small project I've been working on.

It’s called RoPaSci — a territory control game where you conquer the board using Rock-Paper-Scissors rules. Super simple concept, but actually kind of addictive once you start playing.

You control the white army, and your goal is to turn the entire board white. The rules are easy to pick up — just watch the short gameplay video on the site and you’ll get it instantly.

Since it's browser-based, it runs perfectly on Linux (and pretty much anything else) without any installation required.

Play here:

https://beep8.org/b8/beep8.html?b8rom=d1e5030bea0f2f80d55b32857c00f656.b8&

Would love to hear any feedback from the community! It’s also surprisingly fun to just zone out and watch the board fill up. Enjoy!

Hello, I have DVD version of game, I tried all kinds of Proton, now using Ge-Proton, I even tried gamescope (force fullscreen) didnt help. Problem is that when I launch Assassins Creed it will go to fullscreen everything is alright, but when I alt+tab, or press Super Key, it stays as on screenshot, it doesnt go back to true fullscreen mode, I tried Alt+Tab, Alt+Enter, nothing helped. GNOME with Wayland + NVidia GPU.

EDIT: Wine 11.8 TKG fixed it

I have no idea if this is the right place to put it(please tell me if I should put it somewhere else, I don't mind moving this somewhere else).

But, I launch Skyrim, and my sounds work, but dialogue audio just isn't there. I can't hear what Hadvar says at all, and I know he's talking because I see the dialogue captions. I'm using Mod Organiser 2, and I've tried deleting the 2 .ini files(prefs and default I believe), I Know it's not my headphones, I've check that. The first time I loaded Skyrim it worked perfectly, but then I added mods, and it broke the dialogue, I tried just removing them and launching base skyrim, but whelp, that didn't fix it. (I'm running Skyrim Legendary Edition through Steam Proton if that makes a difference)

Edit: I completely deleted Skyrim and the audio bug with no npc dialogue sound is still there

Edit 2: I think my problem is this launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 but I need it cause my laptop doesn't support Vulkan.

I'm also just trying to fix BASE skyrim now

I've been building this following frustrations i had with needing multiple pieces of open source software to manage macros and manage lighting on my Logitech G815, its far from complete, but i plan to include most of the features G-hub can and possibly more.

I'd love so me feedback and also hopefully some volunteer testers with other G series keyboards so i can broaden keyboard support.

Very excited to share with everyone here that I just released a puzzle game on Linux!

It's been on Windows for a while and finally I tackled the port.

So far 10 out of 10 positive reviews!

Check it out if you're interested in a cozy puzzle game about a ramen-eating fish.

There's a demo if you'd like to check it out first! And did I mention.. it's currently on sale?

Cheers Linux Gamers!

Hey everyone! I been using proton experimental for all of my games, and its been pretty great aside from a few games having issues on occasion. My question is mostly about proton GE, I googled and read it has some custom patches and is more of a bleeding edge but I'd rather ask people than an AI what they think about the proton.

Does it perform better or add other features?

I also get random crashes on stalker 2. journalctl -r shows error:

amdgpu 0000:2d:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, signaled seq=1491924, emitted seq=1491926

Would this be proton? or driver / kernel related. (I am on gnome 50 kernel 6.19 fedora).

Hi all,

So this has been going on for a frustrating while. After release, Ride 6 launched and played flawlessly. But for many weeks now, 95% of the time it will launch into a black screen with stuttering mouse trigger the "Not responding" window. The 5% of the time it runs, I cannot tell what is different to any other time.

I tried various versions of Proton, incl. Hotfix, Experimental, and GE.

I launched steam from console and then the game to see if there is anything in the log stream.

Only the following two messages seemed irritating:

pressure-vessel-wrap[163893]: Internal error: _srt_architecture_read_elf: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

That one happened right after a download though, so not sure if it is about the game.

WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.

This is not an actual problem, as a quick search indicates.

So. How can I troubleshoot this? What may be going on here?
