I've been using ubuntu for quite a while now (no I'm not like those pro linux terminal people...). I'd like to switch from ubuntu to a proper gaming district so far I've looked into nobaro and cachy OS any suggestions will be helpful...

Hey guys!

I've been gaming with linux for a couple of months and everything has been great

Lately I got an invitation to play deadlock, but the game won't even start

I launched steam with the command line and got this when I try to start the game i get the following log

Do you guys have any insight of what could I do?

That's my secondary PC, running windows 10 at this moment, and it has some low fps on some games I play, mainly on palworld (20-30fps max at 720p)

I was thinking about putting Fedora on it, because I heard some people had crazy FPS differences on it and that it was easy to use.

Wanted to know if Fedora is in fact a good option for performance (even in windows games) and for user experience (I don't wanna see terminals or anything complicated) or if there's any other better distro for that.

Pc specs: AMD phenom Ii x6 1090T Radeon RX 550 4gb 8gbs DDR3 240gbs HDD

So i switched from Windows to Linux, and i feel like my mouse dosen't feel the same in game, with the same sens and the same dpi. Even after, turning off mouse accel it just feels off. Does anyone know why and has anyone resolved this or is it a matter of getting used to it. Thanks.

Yo, so i did the big switch yesterday from windows to Linux

I’m playing Overwatch 2 on Linux Mint through battlenet using the Faugus launcher, and every time I start the game it processes shaders for a really long time on.

I figured the first time would take a while because it has to compile everything, but the problem is it seems to do it every single time I launch the game, which makes starting the game take forever.

It also feels like the shader cache just isn’t saving, because it recompiles everything again on the next launch.

Has anyone else had this issue on Linux? Is there something I’m missing that makes the shaders actually cache so it doesn’t redo it every time?

Any help would be appreciated.

We're building something called the Minecraft Legacy Index.

The goal is simple: preserve Minecraft Legacy Edition projects and make them easy to find.

Many projects based on the Legacy Edition 1.8.6 source code leak (2014) are scattered across the internet and can disappear at any time due to DMCA takedowns, abandoned repositories, or deleted downloads.

The Minecraft Legacy Index catalogs and preserves these projects so the community can always find them.

We track things like:

• Source repositories

• Project maintainers

• Development status

• Historical notes

• Mirror locations

To prevent projects from disappearing, we also mirror repositories and assets.

Main Git mirror:

https://git.minecraftlegacy.com/

Why we secured these domains:

If these domains were left unregistered, malicious actors could buy them and use them to distribute malware, fake downloads, or backdoored builds.

By controlling these domains, we make sure users always reach legitimate sources and safe mirrors.

The goal is to protect the community and preserve Minecraft Legacy projects for the long term.

If you're working on a Legacy Edition project and want it indexed or preserved, feel free to reach out.

I've wanted to do this for a long time but overall I'm more of a console gamer (except for Minecraft and FPS games). Tested Debian 12 on a crappy laptop last year and finally last week installed Debian 13 on my, much better, gaming laptop.

It's been pretty good overall. Debian itself runs great. Nvidia drivers installed as intended. Steam install went ok. I'm pretty happy.

I have one game I can't get to run right now (Age of Mythology) which is weird because it does run on Debian 12. Hopefully I can figure that one out at some point.

I do have a question about CPU and GPU temps though. Playing Doom Eternal today both the CPU and GPU were in the low 60C. The game ran great but I didn't really mess with the video settings. I do know that it was 1080p, at least. It probably defaulted to medium or something. I don't know for sure.

I don't really want this to run hotter but I'm wondering if I'm losing some potential power somewhere and wondering how I can really control the GPU on Linux. I'm fine with how Doom ran but I did have to turn the resolution down on another game (the Kingdom Hearts games) to get a smooth 60fps (it's only a 60hz display so that's fine).

Any tips or maybe packages I can install to potentially get those games to run a little better? I'm still new to Linux overall and I've never really worried about fps or videos settings much so I don't really know where to look for guides.

For the past 2 years Ive been trying to switch to linux full time, but EVERY time i try too, Vr is the one thing that holds me back!

No matter what I try (Different mondao configurations, upgrading my headset, upgrading my hardware) Nothing seems to fix the following issues!

- Input delay

- Warping (On the vive pro 1, Fixed when i switched to the index)

- Terrible stutters

- Non working version of steam vr

- Performance issues in games like vrchat

- lack of documentation for older devices like the index, and vive pro 1

I completely understand that its a community effort, and that alot of these issues might be resolved when the vive frame comes out. But i just want to know if its just me experiencing these issues! or if there is something wrong I'm doing.

My specs are:

Ryzen 7 5700x3d

Rx 5700xt

32gb of ddr4

I will try to keep this simple to explain:

My specs before upgrade:

• Ryzen 3600 + 6650XT + 16GB 3200Mhz + Windows 10

My current upgrade:

• Ryzen 7 5700X + 9060XT 16GB + 32GB 3200Mhz + Fedora

I installed Fedora for the first time, installed CS2 and had about less than 200 FPS in CS2, which is what I was getting in my previous system, and I know with this system I should be having way more FPS.

I figured I needed to install some drivers or whatever, so I asked botGPT (and yes i know it's not fully reliable, but still good to point me in the right directions) and it told me to run:

sudo dnf update

sudo dnf install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-dri-drivers vulkan

and then it asked to run lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D' to see if I'd get this result: kernel driver in use: amdgpu and I did.

Then it asked told me to run cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor to see if it said powersave or performance, and if it said powersave, I had to switch to performance, which I did (but I just checked it again and it is in powersave now, probably after I restarted PC).

Then the bot told me to switch from wayland to x11, and I don't even know what that is and this is where the bot started failing me, because it was telling me how to change it but there was nothing when I followed the steps.

Also, Steam keeps running CS2 after I close the game in-game. The icon in the taskbar goes away but steam says the game is still running. I have to manually go to my library and press "Stop". It doesn't happen with other games. Why?

I have more problems with Fedora but will leave it to another post in a different subreddit. Right now I just wanna fix the FPS issue. I really don't wanna go back to Windows 10.

Any help is appreciated!
