So, I've been a Windows user for a long time and recently upgraded my PC and switched from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (I thought well, it can't be that bad now and I will have to do that anyway before October). Unsurprisingly, I hate the shit out of it and can't stand it anymore.

With the recent updates to Linux, it really became an obvious choice to switch to so I finally decided to actually go for it. However, I would like some opinions about a few things.

This isn't my first time switching to Linux, I used Ubuntu for some time back in 2018 on my work laptop and it worked great but I switched to Windows because my laptop was better hardware wise and I couldn't play games.

I'm not sure what Distro to switch to, there are a gazillion distros and I'm still in the process of researching, but would like some direction.

So far I'm leaning towards Fedora KDE (Plasma). I made this decision based on the following:
- Similar Windows environment and won't feel alienated.
- Customizable and not a lot of bloat like Mint or the other custom distros.
- Will do the job just fine for web-dev stuff (I'm currently learning web development).
- Community support.
- After checking ProtonDB, Fedora KDE seems to run a lot of things smoothly after tinkering a few settings.

I'm fairly comfortable with the terminal, I'm not a pro by any means, but I do like a challenge and have always enjoyed the challenges that Linux gives me from time to time and the terminal doesn't scare me so I'm not picking distros based on difficulty, etc.

My Rig:

AMD Ryzen 5 7600
32GB DDR5
XFX 7800XT
1TB WD SN5000 M.2 Gen4

A bunch of HDD for storing non-intensive stuff, will get another SSD soon though.

Thoughts?

So I play WoW via Lutris & use WAs when raiding. One of those WA's is LiquidWeakAuras which will use the games TTS feature to announce mechanics & other stuff. Now, if anyone has used this on Linux, you will notice that the default voice is very bad (kinda sounds like Stephen Hawkings), and I wanna add additional voices so that it's a bit clearer & provides a better user experience. However, I am unable to find where WoW gets the voices to begin with.

I use Arch Linux with KDE, but I have no available setting in Accessibility to turn on TTS or change voices. I am guessing that Lutris sets it up somehow when installing Battle.net, but I don't how exactly.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Please, in the name of Torvalds, if anyone has any ideas why VRR might be breaking on an AMD GPU during certain events like tabbing in and out, opening menus, or experiencing frametime spikes, and then typically resolving itself by doing the same thing that caused the issue in the first place (i.e., opening or closing a menu, frametime spike, etc.), please help. It happens in several games.

Doesn't matter which title I choose, I get this error every time. I have reinstalled Proton, verified the files and even reinstalled the game.

Anyone know of a fix?

I am using Fedora with KDE.

In general all steam games works fine but this one its been a pain trying to open it. Get the game starting in the eac screen and on 0% crashes giving me this message. i also check protondb and its suppose to work even with online now but i cant make it start https://www.protondb.com/app/454650 . I have install the proton eac runtime tool btw so not idea of why doesnt leave me in. also try on native runtime but not luck. pd: never run an eac game cause dont play usually online so no idea if its only this particular game or if its a problem with eac in general.

OS: Fedora 42
Rocket League installed visa Epic on Heroic Version 2.17.

I'm making this post cause in the past I had a working .bat file from following a youtube video. Here's the link (https://youtu.be/0WWX-Kb9sH4) if you're starting from scratch it'll help get you to at least having BakkesMod installed in the same prefix as RL. This is going to show you the .bat file that used to work.

However, after some updates to Heroic going up to 2.17 my .bat file stopped working. The file used to launch BakkesMod then launch RL, however Heroic would try and run BakkesMod under some new X: prefix instead of Z: and it would error 'File not found'.

Regardless I was able to get a new working script with the help of Ai and two days, cause I'm not that experienced of a user. And instead of running it as an alternative .EXE as the above video will show you, you have to had it as a pre-launch script in Heroic's advacned tab.

#!/bin/bash # === Proton and Wine setup === PROTON_PATH="$HOME/.config/heroic/tools/proton/GE-Proton-latest/proton" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Rocket League" BAKKESMOD_EXE="Z:\\home\\rwarner\\Games\\Heroic\\rocketleague\\BakkesMod\\BakkesMod.exe" BAKKESMOD_PATH="/home/rwarner/Games/Heroic/rocketleague/BakkesMod" # === Export Proton environment === export WINEPREFIX export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam" export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$WINEPREFIX" # === Background delayed launcher === ( sleep 15 cd "$BAKKESMOD_PATH" || exit "$PROTON_PATH" run "$BAKKESMOD_EXE" ) & # === Let Heroic continue === exit 0

It took much going back and forth with the Ai to get this, but essentially, it launches BakkesMod via a detached subshell (the Ai did this for me after I noticed that Heroic would hang until BakkesMod closed before it launched the game). Then the main script stops, allowing Heroic to continue while Bakkes is still allowed to open. Of course the paths would need to be amended to where you actually have things installed.

I noticed there wasn't much current information online on how to do this and since I was successful, I thought I put my solution up so that anyone else might be able to get their setup running or even make some suggestions for what may be better.

If you have any questions about what I need, I'm more than willing to answer.

Recently I had to get a new laptop for college as my old one was starting to be outperformed. As such i would like to give linux a go however facing the infinite many choices out there I'm wondering just what distro to try.

Considering I aquired a mid-range gaming computer i would like to know what recomendations you guys have. I would like a distro that is easy to use and beginner friendly that still allows for good customization once I get used to it. It needs to not only be good for gaming but also for college (I'm a physics enginnering student) such as AutoCAD, LTSpice, etc and for light programming projects. I monstly game single-player and open-world games but I've checked https://areweanticheatyet.com/ and all online games i also play are mostly supported.

Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

Computer Specs:
Intel Core i7-14700F, 16GB DDR5-4800 MHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB GDDR6, SSD 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4

Im trying to download Baldur's Gate 3 & oddly there was no indication of how much space it would take, didn't think much of it then when I clicked install the steam just does a 200mb download and the play button appears but obviously when I try to run it it says "executable not found" and gives the path for where it should be. steamapps common bg3 folder is dead empty I don't even know what it's installing if anything at all. Literally every other game in my library acts fine, even the BG3 patch 8 playtest version from earlier this year looks normal.

Tried installing with proton compatibility on and off, im on a fresh install of Arch and only installed steam, its dependencies, and nvidia drivers.

OS: Arch x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.14.9
GPU: 3060ti NVIDIA 570.153.02

Hello,

I'm trying to move my games from windows to ubuntu to see how they perform, but they run very poorly!

My laptop is quite old but runs the games in windows with no problem at 720p:
cpu: i7-7500U with HD Graphics 620
gpu: geforce 940mx
ram: 16gb

I'm trying to run valheim and mass effect legendary edition. Starting with valheim which is simpler:

both options of running valheim or running with opengl dont change anything
i've added this to the launch options: gamemoderun DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
game settings are set to the minimum, at 720p

checking glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" : OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)

I get 8 FPS on the title yet when checking nvtop it shows:
gpu 44% cpu 133%
with gpu being the nvidia gpu not integrated one.

Checking temps im not throttling: cpu 74C and gpu 64C

inside nvidia settings prime profile is set to performance mode

For mass effect I get similar behaviour, of course with higher usage in everything but still horrbile performance and same opengl renderer info.

If anyone knows what is going on I'd really appreciate it
