Okay so background I've been running a 980ti for like along time now, had windows 10 on it was good. Got windows 11 after awhile and just didn't like it, tried out pop OS loved that but still had the occasional problem, distro hopped over to manjaro KDE and it was better worked good etc. Found a sweet deal on a 5700xt on Facebook and just went for it. And omg. And cards works so much better with Linux. All I did was uninstall the Nvidia drivers and everything works better, like I know it's a newer card but Wayland actually works now it was so buggy with the 980ti. Honestly going to stick with and until Nvidia drivers are better with Linux. As the great overload said "fuck you Nvidia 🖕"

Want to make sure my overclock won’t cause damage

In Ubuntu LTS, I am running flatpak bottle gaming preset with steam installed. Discrete graphics card is enabled and the recommended nvidea 550 driver installed. Whenever I run a game, I get terrible FPS drops while also not fulling utilizing the hardware. For example, if I run black ops 1 in 4K max graphics with fps capped to 240, I will get 240 when looking at the edge of a map, but anywhere from 40-120 when looking toward the middle of a map. During the drops, the GPU still remains at 30-40% utilization, the CPU is around 40-60% utilization, and the RAM is around 25% utilization. The game process is running on the GPU

Hey all,

I'm using Arch Linux at the moment and set it up to use btrfs. However, I'm having troubles adding a second drive to Steam which I also made btrfs.

Normally when you add a drive in the Storage tab you get that dropdown in the Steam UI with the list of available drives you have mounted but I'm just getting a Dolphin file manager window. At the very least I tried to go to the folder where I mounted this drive to and add it that way but I can't add it. No error messages or anything. I double click the folder and Dolphin closes but Steam still only has my home drive in the Storage tab (which is also btrfs)

I'm on KDE and normally I could just use KDE partition manager to set up the mount point and mount the drive for the first time. I had set it to mount to a folder I called games. I've done this plenty of times because I'm a chronic distro hopper lol and I've always been able to add the second drive.

I figured something was off though because I rebooted a few times and each time the disk was unmounted but I was 100% sure it was set to automount. When I opened the fstab I noticed the drive wasn't being added correctly at all like there were literally no values or parameters so I fixed it and at the very least it now automounts after rebooting. This is how I have it in my fstab at the moment:

# /dev/sda1 UUID=e8da8904-8030-435d-b8a2-a624d16b33c9 /home/[name]/Games btrfs user,nosuid,nodev,relatime,exec,compress=zstd 0 0

Originally the only thing that was there was just the /dev/sda1 text which I commented out and added the rest. Despite it now auto mounting, it's still not being detected by Steam. I don't get the dropdown and I'm still getting the Dolphin window each time. This is the first time this happens to me ever. I even tried reformatting to ext4 (I was ok with reinstalling the games on the drive) and setting it up but even as tried and true ext4 it's still not letting me mount the drive.

Hi! Is there a way on the Minecraft Bedrock Launcher for linux, that I could use a APK instead of using google play store? Heres the link to the docs if you need it: https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#

Hey, im usually good about getting games running but this one is being difficult.

Has anyone discovered an alternative fix? Currently pyroveil makes the game fail to boot up entirely.

I can only play on windows right now

I'm wondering why i'm seeing a lot of folks running nobara but no one talking about cachyOS, isn't the latter supposed to be faster in everything and with the best support for new hardware and drivers and such? Is there some kind of controversy around it? Have i been brainwashed? Last time i checked if i'm not mistaken, it's not even mentioned in the wiki. I'm genuinely curious

So I have a pc with 2 nvme drives, one for windows(pcie gen4) and now one for Linux (pcie gen3), if I decide to erase my windows install, how should I format the drives for better compatibility? Are the drives fine being ntfs or exfat? Better to use ext4 for all of them?

On Endeavour OS, using Wayland, and an NVIDIA GPU. Every few games I will freeze mid game for 10-30 seconds usually. Any one have any ideas how to fix? These are my launch options:

SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD=1 %command%

OS: Manjaro

KDE: v6.3.3

Kernel: 6.12.19-1-MANJARO (64-bit)

The story-I attempted to do pin official minecraft launcher to my desktop but accidentally clicked "uninstall or manage add-ons...", nothing happened so I assumed it was all good but when I went to open the launcher it gave me the screen as shown on the bottom left. I attempted to reinstall and I thought it was all good, I logged in and was getting ready to start a server too but when I closed the launcher and tried to open it up again it gave me the same screen. I've installed using "git clone" and "yay" but I get the same thing on the second launch (while logged) the only way to make it work is to use this "rm -rf ~/.minecraft ~/.config/minecraft-launcher" command to delete it basically every time I wish to play. As you can imagine it is very annoying.

Throughout my troubleshooting, installing via git clone changed so that is why I had to change write permissions.

My guess is it has something to do with me logging into my Microsoft account because only then it wont open after. Looked through the bug reports and people are getting the same error when launching through the terminal. I know I can probably just use the Prism Launcher, but I am not letting it win.

If you need anything in specific, feel free to just let me know.

With windows 10 losing support soon I’m thinking of changing to Linux as my pc doesn’t support windows 11. This would be great as I’ve learnt to use it through uni and saves me having to upgrade my pc. But I do still have worries from what I’ve heard about anti cheats not supporting many versions of Linux. Is this really as big an issue as the internet makes it seem or are there easy around?

Starting April 4, Emperor of the Fading Suns Enhanced on Steam, GOG and Zoom-Platform is designed to be Linux compatible. We have tested this to the best of our ability, and will appreciate anyone else who gets it then giving us feedback on how well it works. FYI, certain features may not work in Linux (like achievements). All Steam wishes are appreciated - a big part of why we made this new Steam build was to make the game finally work with Linux https://store.steampowered.com/app/2799350/Emperor_of_the_Fading_Suns_Enhancedhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2799350/Emperor_of_the_Fading_Suns_Enhanced

So I have an issue that If I select my easyeffects microphone it will be captured only if it's the only device selected. Otherwise all other audio is being captured but not me. Choosing default input helps but not much since it's too noisy. Please help

EDIT: Found out that If I set default input device to EE Source in pavucontrol, choose to split audio into multiple tracks and set audio capture to "Default input" it helps, but... Not that's it's really comfortable solution since I want to quickly capture and share videos with my friends, not also merge audio tracks later. Otherwise it's still the same...

When i open it on Steam, it redirects me to the R* launcher, which then says that there is an error. I believe it was code 1, but I’m not sure.(I use arch btw)

Sometimes it boosts to 3 GHz in games, using 250+ W, most of the time it sits around 100-150 W power consumption and a 1,5 Ghz clock, can't figure out how to make it perform like my 3070 did on Windows, pretty much sitting at 100% use at all times in demanding games. Running MH Wilds now I get similar performance to the 3070, but the card is not really trying too hard. I'm on Mint 22.1, updated kernel to 6.14, have kisak-mesa 25.0.2, updated linux-firmware to the most recent one two days ago. Set the system power balance to performance, installed LACT and enabled overclocking (kept everything default for now), set performance level to highest clocks. Any other ideas to get more performance out of the card and basically force it to max out the power draw in demanding situations? I think the hardware itself is installed properly, running OCCT gpu stress test I got it to draw up to its 317 W limit consistently.

Hello,

I'm a big dumb dumb.
How can I check if the correct firmware files are loaded for amdgpu?
This dude said it's a bit tricky to update them on Ubuntu (I'm on Mint), that I just need a 6.14 kernel (which I have) or 'the performance isn't there or things will just crash'
Since both of those are happening, I just wanna make sure if the correct firmware is loaded.
But I have no idea how to and I can't find a straight answer that works.

Edit:
I just tried to do an
sudo apt install linux-firmware
and it replied:
linux-firmware is already the newest version (20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.10).
I guess I am using an older version then.
So the real question is how to install the newest linux-firmware?
Apparently just moving the contents of the amdgpu folder into /lib/firmware/amdgpu doesn't seem to be working.

idk if i should post this here or somewhere else but i wanted to play some most wanted. i own the game on steam and it would install ea app without any difficulties and work with proton 9 (the one that i use all the time and never had issues with) i've been playing the game with mods for the past 2 days and it worked fine, no problems but when i tried to play it today it would show a black box called "preparing game" (which normally shows properly but now it doesn't for some reason) and would make like "link2ea" windows appear that would just be not responding that i couldn't do anything with and the game would launch and run at like 2 fps with no access to EA servers (and i have been playing multiplayer most of those 2 days cause it's fun) so i was like "maybe the mods are just causing the issues" and reinstalled the game after trying the backup files that i had and them not working. then after reinstalling the game, i launched it using proton 7 cause i heard people having better success with that and it just made everything worse cause now just that black box appears and closes the game (that's after i installed the EA app which installed normally) i've legitimately tried to get this game to run for past 4 hours and i couldn't get it to work at all. i would be more than glad if someone helped.

before anyone asks here are my specs (i know my pc is garbage but it runs the game at high quality without any problems):

distro: Linux Mint

CPU: intel core i3-3220

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050

ram: 8GB

swap: 17GB (only made it this big for minecraft lol)

i forgot to add that the game would sometimes crash but fixed it after changing it to a different language. (from English to polish if anyone cares)

Just bought a 9070xt, I am swapping from a 3070. Question is: would it be worth it giving up my riced out home server running linux install to swap it all to windows. I have to do a fresh OS install cause it’s a full gpu and platform upgrade but I can’t help but feel that I missing out on the true performance and value of my card by not using FSR 4.

I’d love some opinions. I have been using arch full time for 5 years now.

If anyone knows the progress of FSR 4 integration into the Linux Mesa drivers, I’d love to know that too

I am just trying to organise my thoughts so any interaction is appreciated!

Also if anyone has experience with FSR 3, I’d love to hear your opinions on it.
