Can't make up my mind about KDE Plasma vs GNOME on my Fedora 44. I'm a gamer and a DevOps engineer.

I love GNOME's default workflow. When I'm on GNOME, I basically fly and flow with my work. I love its design, its vanilla workflow (I would very strongly prefer to use ZERO extensions), it is visually beautiful, etc., etc. I love its overview and how it integrates with workspaces and how dragging apps to launch them works, dynamic workspaces, and I love dragging apps and windows between workspaces to create a new one in-between. It all feels so flow-state and integrated to me.

But I miss very dearly a lot of KDE Plasma's power features and features in general that are native and first-party code. KDE Connect, vaults, quarter tiling (that fkin GNOME lacks), Klipper for god's sake. And that feeling of missing features builds up over time, and I end up saying, "nah man, I love vanilla GNOME workflow but I can't live without all of this," and I go back and reinstall KDE Plasma.

Then, when I'm on KDE Plasma, I love all those power features I mentioned. A working Substrat. Server-side decorations that work! I also love knowing I'm on a more bleeding-edge DE that will always ship first with gaming-related features and innovations, that has healthier funding than GNOME, more sponsors, and the devs in general have a much friendlier attitude and are always willing to listen to the community.

But you can't fully replicate the whole GNOME flow on Plasma (Meta+Scroll is impossible since Meta+Alt+Scroll is hardcoded on KWin, you can't drag apps to launch them, you can't drag apps in the middle of virtual desktops to create one in-between…). The overview and the virtual desktops-oriented workflow on KDE feels like an option or an isolated feature, while on GNOME it feels like the thing they care most about.

So after some weeks of being on KDE, I'll be like, "man, I love all these features, but I need GNOME's default workflow," and then I reinstall Fedora Workstation.

You can see where I'm going at with this. If you were me, which one would you settle for finally? Given all things I've said

Hello there everyone. I have an acer aspire vx5-591g laptop which has a gtx 1050 4gb and i5 7300hq. I used to have a very low end laptop which i used to use arch on a couple of months and now that i've upgraded i never thought of trying linux on it since all my issues on windows were gone with this laptop but i wanna try linux again now. I never had any problems with my old laptop in linux since it had an intel cpu with hd 515 graphics but now that i have an nvidia laptop i'm afraid that it might not give the best output as compared to my intel laptop so my quesion is how good is the driver support for the GTX 1050 that i have as compared to something like an RTX 3090? How much FPS would i lose in games like RDR2 which i get on average 55 fps on everything low except models ultra? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have used Linux as my main operating system many times over past few years. Now i have RTX 2070 and I7 8600K, can somebody get me fps and overall performance difference chart or something like that, so i could see is it worth to get back. And is there major trade offs with playing with RTX on Linux?

Hi, I have played games on 4.0 before, like Factorio and Victoria, but suddenly today all those games select 1.0 as their default runner and if I try to force compat in the settings of Steam I only see 1.0 and 1.0 legacy?

I didn't change my steam install or hardware or anything that I can think of.

Any help is appreciated, thank you very much in advance.

Hey, been using Linux for awhile now, and it runs every game I play and has no issues, with the exception of Battlefield 1. I wanted to get back into my old hobby of modding Bethesda games specifically Fallout 4, New Vegas, and Skyrim. I looked it up and it lead me down a rabbit hole. I tried using proton/wine to run Mod Organizer 2 however it was super lagy and crashed and didn't support install with mod manager links on nexus. I heard of this thing called steam tinker launcher trued that couldn't figure it out. I tried the linux native mod manager limo wasn't great.

If anyone has any experience modding Bethesda games on linux please let me know. I am seriously considering moving back to windows 10 or dual booting so that I can mod Fallout and Skyrim without spending my whole day on it.

I'm able to run the game on Ubuntu 26.04 smoothly, the only issue that have encountered is when attempting to save highlights. The highlight processes until 100% then nothing happened, no file gets saved. I've attempted to change the save path to various locations and set permissions, still no go. Has anyone successfully saved highlights? What am I missing?

My Steam Launch Options (RTX5090):

SDL\_VIDEO\_FULLSCREEN\_HEAD=0

SteamDeck=1

ENABLE\_GAMESCOPE\_WSI=0

gamemoderun

PROTON\_ENABLE\_MEDIACONV=1 PROTON\_ENABLE\_NVAPI=1

PROTON\_HIDE\_NVIDIA\_GPU=0 PROTON\_ENABLE\_NGX\_UPDATER=1

VKD3D\_CONFIG=dxr

gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -w 1920 -h 1080 -f

\--force-grab-cursor

\-- %command%

Any insight would help, thanks for the assist!

Hi people! I'm on Fedora 44 KDE and I installed Phasmophobia from Steam, but the FPS is way lower than on Windows on the same machine. Is there a way to fix this?

For context, I already have the Nvidia drivers installed and Minecraft runs at 144+ fps on fancy settings, so I don't think it's a driver issue.

Ive had mulitple issues with using the steam controller

1. Unable to update firmware on the puck and controller from the steam client (i had to update it using my steam deck)
2. Rebinding the R4,R5,L4,L5 within the steam ui seems to not do anything only after closing and opening steam again did it show my rebinds
3. KDE always prompts me to give the remote control permission whenever i restart steam otherwise the mouse doesnt work.

Not sure where to file these bug reports it feels like valve only tested their controller with SteamOS and not any other distro.

As stated in the post, minecraft 26.1.2 is very unstable. It randomly crashes and then refuses to start again. This typically happens after around 5-10 minutes of playing, and happens independently of any specific action.

This issue does not happen on my other computer running the same exact kernel and mods (just for an older version of the game. Though the instability has been present on my current pc even on that older version).

Modlist for the game is given in the original post (basically just fabric loader essentials + shaders + renderscale). Using kernel 7.0.3 with latest amdgpu drivers on arch. Minecraft downloaded through AUR with yay, using official launcher.

Any help is appreciated!

I am currently running Bazzite OS on my new second m.2 SSD, set the bios to have it boot up into that instead of Windows 11 on my other m.2 ssd. Everything is fine and dandy until I decide to shut down the pc. Regardless if I use the regular shut down method via the gui or use a command line. I will get logged out, both monitors will stop receiving singles. However, the PC itself will stay on. (Fans will still spin, the lights are on, etc). I can manually shut it down via holding down the power button. I have tried different bashes in the terminal, in some cases it will shut down perfectly. And I’m like yay it worked! I started it back up, play some games, go shut it down and it’s back to square one.

Note: I am running an Nvidia gpu and a AMD Ryzen cpu. I do have secure boot disabled when I was trying out dual booting. As well as Power Down Enable changing from Auto to Enabled. Wake Up Event By changing from BIOS to OS. ErP is enabled

A video explains an upcoming certificate deadline.

Coming in June, you may have update problems unless you update your BIOS.

Problem is, if the vendor has cut off your BIOS update, you are having problems when the MS certificate expires.

I'm on Fedora 44 KDE, but this issue was there when I was using Fedora 33 KDE, I turned on the application permission for Steam in the system setting already.
