Days of searching and still a noob about what to do

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2024 - 14:43

Hi!

I've just bought a decent MSI gaming laptop and really don't know what to do next.

I thought about doing a Dual-boot with W11 and Linux Mint or Fedora.

-----

1) Is Mint good for gaming? I mostly do strategy games and some RTS.

-----

2) When should I partition my disk, and when do I boot Linux?

Can I partition and boot Linux even days after setting up W11? Or should I do everything right at the get-go, upon starting my new PC for the first time?

-----

3) I've read here and there that doing a virtual partition of a single SSD can lead to troubles later on, especially when W11 updates. What's the risk? That some random day my data gets corrupted and I lose all progress since the last back-up?

-----

4) Since I only have 1 SSD slot, should I then instead boot Linux on some external drive? (let's say, a 64Gb USB stick which should be enough for basic activities).

Will it mean that I'll have to load W11 first everytime I want to access Linux on my external drive? And will I be able to personalise my Linux, or will it stay in its 'factory' version?

Cheers!

Screen flickering when playing GOG Diablo + Hellfire with Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2024 - 12:47

I purchased Diablo + Hellfire and installed Heroic Games Launcher. Though the game can be launched but basically the screen is nearly black with the area surrounding mouse cursor showing partial Diablo text if choosing Diablo (high resolution); if choosing Diablo (Classic), the game asks "Please insert Diablo CD ...", and the game complains with error after clicking the right hand side button (no text shown on it).

My environment is Debian trixie.

How can I fix it? Please let me know if more info is needed. Thanks

PS4 controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2024 - 12:06

Hi gang,

I'm using a PS4 controller and heroic games launcher. I used to run pop OS and the controller worked fine. Stupid me decided to distro hop. Now no matter what I do, the PS4 track pad acts as the right analog stick to look around such as Oblivion and Morrowind whereas the right analog stick is treated as a button when pressed and that's it. I also noticed wine versions and proton versions affect the controller. I must of got lucky first time round. I have it connected via USB. I've been mucking around for 3 days, even went back to Pop, now on Linux Mint where I'm not moving from just to try get it to go. Any ideas?

Auto HDR for specific games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2024 - 11:10

Is there a way to enable HDR only when launching specific games? I don't like to have HDR enabled always because text isn't as clear on my monitor for general browsing, etc. I know HDR support is in the early stages, but even it is was a simple keyboard shortcut to enable and disable HDR would be useful.

Is AMD the only option?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2024 - 09:59

I've been using a Radeaon RX 5700 XT for about 3 years now. It began to crash on the daily after only a year. At the time i was using Windows 10 and did not overclock or undervolt the card.

At the moment I'm running arch linux and has resorted to undervolting the card but it still crashes, even under minimal loads.

I can't stand using this card any more, so I'm going to upgrade.

Is it worth switching back to NVIDIA, since they are (imo) much better cards, or do I double down and get a better AMD card for the sake of Linux compatibility and price? What would you guys recommend? My budget is quite small around $300-$500 and I've found a few 3080 and 4060 second hand around the $200-$300 mark.

What graphics card do I need?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2024 - 09:27

I have a 15 year old desktop with an i5-4460, 32GB Ram and an Nvidia GeForce 750 ti.

I've not played any games since the early 90s.

4 years ago I joined Steam and bought a copy of Dirt4, but it was completely unplayable.

So I gave up on the idea of playing games.

I've just seen a video on YouTube showing a comparison of the GT 750 ti against a GT 1030 and the 750 was playing games with no issue.

Can someone explain how they are running all these games with the same GPU but I couldn't get Dirt4 to run?
