After closing star wars bf2 the ea app will be there for a couple seconds and I saw that mango hud showed it used a whopping 5 gigs of ram for a launcher thats way to much and since it runs in the background I assume it uses the same amount of ram any thoughts

I run Manjaro on my laptop. Back when it had Windows installed, Space Engineers ran just fine; almost as well as my much older PC, which also has 16 GB of RAM, though in that case it's DDR4 instead of the DDR5 in my laptop. Using Proton (it's a Steam game), I get into menus just fine, but when I try to run a world the game disappears and I get the attached notifications. I was wondering if there were any known tweaks I could try so that my machine can run the game like I know its hardware can. Thanks!

The Wayland driver is receiving many fixes and is already proving to be more efficient with fewer stutters compared to XWayland.

I sought online and found a bunch of stuff about old java trying to use too much memory because of a change in the Linux kernel, still, I couldn't apply to Minecraft any of the advices that people gave about java.

If someone could help I'd be extremely grateful :)

I am considering buying this capture card (EAN 840006677680, "Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro"), but I wanna check with you guys if you know if it is supported on Linux yet (as in, has a working driver, can use with OBS). I found an old thread on it, but nothing recent.

I run Kubuntu 24.10, with kernel version 6.11.0-29.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

tl;dr: is playing cs2 inside a virtual machine bannable now when cs (supposedly) uses AI anti-cheat?

im a linux user and dont like proprietary/closed source software which is why i dont prefer installing cs2 on my linux host machine even though it runs fine on linux nowadays.
i was thinking about passing through my second gpu to a windows virtual machine which i would use to play cs and other games as well.
i saw someone got banned from playing inside a VM in early stages of cs2 (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/183l7yl/psa_vm_users_playing_cs2_inside_a_vm_might_get/) but didnt find any recent bans related to playing inside a VM.

since cs2 doesnt use software/kernel anticheat playing inside a VM shouldnt be a porblem because the AI detects cheaters from their gameplay, hence using cheats on host machine while playing inside a VM would still get detected. ofc i wouldnt be playing faceit/esea etc, only on valve servers.
i dont want to lose my inventory nor my main account due to VAC ban when i could just be playing on bare metal on windows/linux host.

i didnt find anything related to playing inside a VM being forbidden from ToS and chatgpt gave me the same result.

is playing cs2 inside a VM bannable or not?
any resources or messages related to my question are highly appreciated

Hello everyone!

I wanna buy a gpu in the near future (I have a budget of around 300€, but I can go up to a maximum of 350€), and I've found three gpus that might interest me:

• The RX 9060 XT 8 GB
• The RTX 5060 8 GB
• The RX 6750 XT 12 GB

(I would have loved to get an RX 9060 XT or an RTX 5060 16 GB, but €400 is way too expensive for me)

And I'm hesitating between these three for different reasons: - The RTX 5060 seems good because of the drivers and the MFG, but I'm afraid that its use on Linux might be compromised (I heard about a 20% performance loss, idk if that's right) - The RX 9060 XT looks good, but I don't think it has MFG - And the RX 6750 XT looks great with its 12 GB, but its power consumption seems a little too high (240w iirc compared to 150w)

But in the end, I don't know if I'll need 12 GB, because I only play in 1080p.

(I'm planning to get a bequiet! 650W power supply for €70 with it. Also, I can't buy an used gpu)

Do you have any advice for me? I'm really torn! Thanks in advance, and sorry for my messy english :D

I know this question has been asked many times (because I looked them up) but we're here again. Is there any way I can run android games on my linux machine without much trouble or tinkering? Preferably without much overhead either. On windows Bluestacks does that. On linux nothing I've tried the last time (a couple months ago) worked without issues or lag.

I run multiple instances to play different games, and this is the ONLY thing stopping me from switching to linux.

As of yesterday I started experiencing a weird mouse drift in CS2. It doesn't happen in any other game or while using the system, but while playing CS2 the mouse will continuously drift left or downward and not stop. Sometime it just goes away other times it wont, even after restarts and reboots. I am using ubuntu 24.04, playing CS2 on steam and the mouse is a Glorious O2 wired mouse. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi guys,

I want to daily drive a Linux PC for 90% gaming and 10% productivity work. Willing to wait more for money so I am able to buy better components. I made a list of components and have started buying them. Here it is:

https://preview.redd.it/be75wnx5plef1.png?width=1065&format=png&auto=webp&s=e68c4f540ce1f7d2c36828e25286217fa395b661

I'm looking mostly for 1080p gaming with maxed settings and not necessarily needing ray-tracing or other fancy stuff. Maybe some 1440p. Don't care much about fake FPS.

My main concern would be productivity I'd like to edit with stuff like kdenlive or Davinci Resolve and maybe do some Blender in the future, but AMD GPUs are quite slow compared to nvidia when it comes to productivity, although they play a lot nicer with games.

So is this build alright for productivity? Can I do work in a decent amount of time with a 9060XT or do I need to get, say, a 5060 Ti? I can do some tinkering so I'm alright with that as long as it possible for the software and hardware to get together. I don't need it to be uber-fast, just ok will do.

A youtuber compared these 2 GPUs on Linux here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77LBtP3nZwY

Besides the GPU conundrum, do you guys have other tips for my build?

Thanks

Hello there,

I'm trying to run Lego Star Wars : Skywalker Saga on my Linux Laptop. I got the game via the Epic Games Store and tried to play it via Heroic Games Launcher. It launches into Blackscreen and then just quits.

I'm new to Linux and have no idea what to do.

Thanks in advance

Memory: 16GB

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M

Hello everyone. I have an old desktop with an i5‑4570 and a GTX 960.

I’d like to turn it into a “living‑room PC‑console” with as little tinkering as possible. I no longer have the time to spend on managing installations, updates, etc.

Also, I don’t want to try any Windows 11 hacks since the motherboard doesn’t have TPM. I had considered ChimeraOS, but it only supports AMD GPUs.

What solution or distribution would you all recommend?

Thanks :)
