Hello all,

My gaming laptop died on my birthday and I figured I'd build a desktop again because the laptop was so expensive I was afraid to take it anywhere.

I prefer AMD CPU and GPUs... last I knew they were preferred over Intel/Nvidia for linux but I wanted to check in and see if that's still the case. Budget is probably 4-5k USD and I generally prefer a better build I can stretch an extra year or two rather than rebuilding or replacing parts more frequently. Also I haven't touched linux in about 15 yrs, but I'm sick of bloat and figured I'd give mint-cinnamon or something lightweight a try. Are there any recommendations for hardware that just works with linux better? I want to spend my time learning the new OS, rather than fighting to get hardware working and would greatly appreciate any input be it hardware and/or easier linux version. I play everything from stardew to borderlands 4 and do love to mod the heck out of games (nexus mods or steam workshop mostly), which I thought might also cause issues. I have a steam deck and meta quest 3 as well.

Any troublesome parts like RAM, MoBo, NvME that might trip up a new build, etc?

Thanks for your time!

okay, so i changed proton to proton 7 (i was trying to get Devil May Cry to work), but when i changed it back to the default proton (proton 8) it stopped working for some reason?

I'm not a linux user myself. I just have a 9070 XT and the news makes me a bit worried for the future in case I do decide to hold onto my card for 5+ years. Would switching to linux in that case eliminate this concern if the time ever came where it was a problem on windows?

Hello everyone. Im currently trying to figure out my graphical bugs in WoW im having since a couple of weeks. I have "sharp edges" around most of the visual effects. The pictures are while ParticleDensity is "enabled" and disabled.

With Particle Density

No Particle Density

Its really confusing and i tried everything i could think of:
- Reinstalling the Game and disabling every addon (Clean reinstall)
- Reinstalling the Battle.net launcher
- Different Proton Versions in Steam, even starting the game from steam without battle.net launcher.
- Switching ingame from DX11 to DX12 and back

My PC Stats:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (24) @ 5.74 GHz
OS: Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.17.5-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64
Memory: 11.13 GiB / 30.45 GiB (37%)

Im using Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge without any extra commands on Steam
Do you have an idea what i could try out?

I identified the problem as the generic HID driver taking the device over the Logitech HID++ driver as shown in dmesg:

[ 43.725454] input: Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.4/3-4.4:1.0/0003:046D:C08B.0006/input/input25
[ 43.725517] hid-generic 0003:046D:C08B.0006: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.4/input0
[ 43.726377] input: Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse Keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.4/3-4.4:1.1/0003:046D:C08B.0007/input/input26
[ 43.777398] hid-generic 0003:046D:C08B.0007: input,hiddev97,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.4/input1

The kernel wouldn't let me unbind the generic driver and bind the logitech driver, so I grepped my mouse's VID:PID in the list of usb ids in the hid-logitech-hidpp driver with modinfo, but it outputted nothing, meaning the driver doesn't even know my mouse.

What can I do? Arch on kernel 6.17.5-arch1-1
