So I did try looking up some info about this saw only like 8 months old posts ect. So Im a windows user for years I have some what expierence with difrent os aka linux I usually install them on some old laptops, but Im intrested to use it as a main OS on my main pc ( Ill drop the specs at bottom) I mainly play Battle net games and maybee few Steam games. I know that some games does have Linux support and rest goes trough wine but Im wondering if it goes trough Wine will I drop any kind of performance bcs of that.
Also Im an AMD user and Im pretty sure if not everyone then most people have come across of some bugs errors ect. How are drivers and stuff via Linux? I am also considering pherhaps a dual boot just in case I need something specific on widnows. So I would appriciate any feedback and your expierences and also wich one would be the best Linux version*? Much love to Linux comunity from you neighbourhoods friendly windows user <3
My specs -
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
32.0 GB RAM
AMD Radeon RX6600 8gb
1tb ssd
and not sure if this is important but I do have Ultra Wide monitor

Apologies if this is due to user error (highly likely). I have recently decided to try Linux to move away from the data beast that is Windows 11. One of the main games I play is Classic World of Warcraft (I’m old it’s nostalgic). After eventually getting battle.net to play nicely on CachyOs I launched the game and noticed everything looked blurry and a bit washed out. The game doesn’t detect my monitor LG C4 except as generic pnp. I’ve faffed on with it and improved it slightly but it’s way behind the image quality on Windows. Am I doing something wrong? System is running on CPU 7900X and GPU is 7900XTX. Thanks in advance. Should also say that I used my existing wow installation so perhaps it’s something to do with that?

I was just discussing how well DLSS fame generation works on Linux. From what I've seen on this sub, it seems to be kind of hit or miss but the person I was discussing this with says it works well for him. And if that's the case then that's the case.

So just to check on what I could find that was recent on 5090 MFG generation I came about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DU2rHQFwKw. Cool, it's working with these two games. But what really made me curious was the title: I Got Multi Frame Generation Working on Linux(RTX 5090 and It DESTROYS Windows).

This was an hour I didn't need to waste but I had to give it a shot. My CP 2077 results at the top and the YT video's at the bottom. My system is a bit better, but the gaming performance should be very similar, certainly not enough difference to account for the performance gap which is heavily in favor Windows. I ran it three times and triple check the settings were the same. Maybe I missed something, maybe this guy missed something on the setup.

The frustrating part is WHY trash Windows when the claim doesn't even look like he tried to confirm the results? It's great that it works on Linux as well as it does. But it doesn't seem to touch Windows. Maybe I'm wrong but whatever is going here, it wasn't confirmed and tested well.

Hi, i was trying to install bazzite along with my windows 11 instalation, on different drives, but for some reason i cant even get the installer to work, i get some "anaconda" error and some python stuff, i was thinking maybe it was because i already had windows installed or smth but idk For reference my pc(laptop) is a hp victus 16 d051la and i tried doing everything from using different usb drives to different programs like etcher, rufus, ventoy and fedora media installer and at this point idk what to do.

I guess i'll just get straight to it, but is AMD anti lag still not supported under linux? i saw a post when i was looking into this from 2~ years ago asking the same question and the answer then was a resounding no, and that the only alternative was something called LatencyFleX, but that hasn't been updated since 2022 and there doesn't seem to be any other alternatives that have come out since then... All that being said, I suppose my question is two fold, does AMD anti lag work at all under linux? and if it doesn't, is latencyflex safe to install and does it still even work? I'm asking the question with the context of using it for overwatch if that helps at all, since that's the only competitive shooter I play.

What version should I install on old gaming Pc.

My old setup is a PC with a 6700k and GTX 1070. I'm trying to decide which version of Linux would be best for this set up and allow me to still utilize the machine for gaming and media.

Steamdeck is the only experience I've had with Linux but have liked it a lot tinkering with it.

Thank you.

I haven't run Steam on my machine in a while, and decided to do so today. when I did so, I was met with this terminal prompt:

``` Steam needs to install these additional packages: libc6:amd64 libc6:i386 libegl1:amd64 libegl1:i386 libgbm1:amd64 libgbm1:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:amd64 libgl1:i386 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 steam-libs-i386:i386

Press return to proceed with the installation: ```

After hitting enter, and entering my password for authentication, the terminal outputs the following:

``` Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done libc6 is already the newest version (2.39-0ubuntu8.4). libc6:i386 is already the newest version (2.39-0ubuntu8.4). libegl1 is already the newest version (1.7.0-1build1). libgbm1 is already the newest version (24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1). libgl1-mesa-dri is already the newest version (24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1). libgl1 is already the newest version (1.7.0-1build1). Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: mesa-libgallium:i386 : Depends: libllvm19:i386 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Press return to continue: ```

Hitting enter results in a pop-up error message, reading:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1

libllvm19:i386 seems to be the crux of the issue, since trying to install libGL.so.1 throws the same dependency error. When I try to install it through apt however, apt asks to autoremove a ton of unrelated packages, such as blueman (my bluetooth driver), codium (my main text editor), and cinnamon (my desktop environment).

Obviously, something broke in my system, and I'll probably need to run Timeshift to restore my system to an earlier state. On top of that, libllvm19:i386 wasn't even installed, so the original problem wasn't even fixed.

I'm completely lost on what to do. I've tried uninstalling steam and reinstalling it, but that results in a steam binary with same issues. I've tried downloading Steam from their website as a debian package, but that doesn't fix anything either. I'm hoping someone on this subreddit might have some experience with this issue and can help me fix whatever's going on.

My Dualsense is finally developing some stick drift on the right analog stick so it's time to get a new controller before it gets too bad. Target currently has them on sale for $50 so I'm thinking about potentially just grabbing another one because I love everything about the Dualsense, however it does have one issue that's made me consider maybe looking at comparably priced third party offerings: I hate the touch pads feel and how every game defaults to that now, because I get constant issues tapping it to say, open the map in Elden Ring Nightreign, only to then get the M/K button icons to appear because it is also registered as a mouse. Mine also just regularly gets stuck and is in general kind of annoying.

So that being said how are controllers like say, the Gamesir Cyclone 2 on linux? From what I can tell their software for stuff like firmware updates is Windows only, if you own one has that been an issue for you? I'd be curious to hear any other suggestions people have in that ~$50 price range as well that they use regularly on linux.

I've been undervolting my 7950X3D using PBO and per-core UV settings, but I've come across a problem--settings that appear to be stable at first can cause rare crashes days or even weeks later. As such, I've been trying to find something that will put the system under a load that will crash it ASAP if there's even a hint of instability.

Before I get into what I've tried already, I feel like I should mention that I've empirically discovered that these UVs need to be tested one core at a time. This makes sense, as multi-core loads will not boost a single core as high, which is where it is likely to be the least stable. As such, assume that all the tests below were only loading one core (both threads, as SMT is enabled) at a time, and rotating through the cores (via scripts I've written using taskset).

So what have I tried already?

• y-cruncher and mprime (AKA Prime95) - Sadly both of these proved to be absolutely useless, regardless of the test(s) chosen in them, showing UVs as being stable when the offsets were well below what was actually stable for many other processes.
• Building software - This is actually a surprisingly good test, at least compared to the options above. Usually the build scripts and the compilation itself could pass, but when the linker (ld) would run, that would expose an undervolt that was too aggressive. So, after running this test for over half an hour on a core, I would consider that a "pass", and I would set the UV on that core to be 3 higher than what proved stable, e.g. if it didn't crash at -25 I would set it to -22 (as I didn't want to be right on the edge of stability)... but the system still wasn't entirely stable!
• AIDA64's SHA3 - I discovered this recommendation when looking at other posts discussing AMD UVing with PBO. It's very good at crashing the system, even at values well above what would be stable for building software. But, it's a Windows-only application that needs to be run via Wine, and you have to deal with it being a GUI app, which is inconvenient to say the least. To further complicating things, the SHA3 test in it is intended as a benchmark and not a stability test, which means it runs for only a short time and then you have to click to run it again. And the last, but far from least annoyance is that it doesn't seem to respect taskset's core mask (probably applying its own mask, which Wine translates to the equivalent Linux syscall), so it always runs on core 0 (and its SMT pair, 16). Presumably I could get around this by applying a new mark shortly after starting the benchmark, but considering how often I have to restart the benchmark to fully test stability, that would be incredibly tedious.
• sha3sum - I had hoped to use this to work around the annoyances described above, but unfortunately it's terrible at crashing the system when you've UVed too far, as the implementation of the SHA3 algorithm is undoubtedly different.

So, does anyone know of something else that's good for testing UV stability? The software I'm actually running that exposes the overly aggressive UVs (which is various video encoders) can work for days before finally crashing the system, so they unfortunately aren't very good for stability testing.

I enabled MangoHud in Prism Launcher’s (Flatpak) settings, but the overlay does not appear in Minecraft.

What I’ve tried:
✔️ Checked the "Enable MangoHud" option in Prism Launcher.
✔️ Verified MangoHud (Flatpak) is installed (flatpak list | grep MangoHud).
✔️ Tested MangoHud on other games (works normally).

Setup:

• OS: Arch Linux (btw)
• Prism Launcher: Flatpak (org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher)
• MangoHud: Flatpak (org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud)

Hi everyone!

I have Assassin's Creed Syndicate on the Ubisoft Connect store (unfortunately), that I have been trying to run on my Bazzite PC. I have installed Ubisoft Connect as a non-Steam game, and then installed Syndicate through the launcher. According to a YouTube tutorial, I symlinked the Ubisoft launcher prefix to the Syndicate prefix number, and then added the game executable as a non-Steam game. I ran it from Steam in Desktop mode, and it runs perfectly fine. However, when I switch to the Game Mode, I just see a spinning Steam logo for 30 seconds and it then quits.

The biggest issue that I can think of is that Syndicate doesn't run on the latest Proton. I have to run it on Proton 8.0-5 or ProtonGE 8-25. If I switch the Proton version to Experimental, the game will launch in Game Mode but quits after a few splash screens, which is to be expected as evidenced by widespread reports from other people. Would anyone have any idea as to why the older Proton refuses to run the game in Game Mode then? I can provide more information if needed!

Hi, I've got 2 monitors, a 1440p and a 4k monitor. The 4k monitor is set to 150% scaling. Whenever I launch a game, for example cp2k77, the game launches on the secondary (4k) monitor. This seems to mess up scaling and the game either runs on the wrong monitor, or is a blurry mess. Changing display using super + shift + arrows doesnt help. The only fix I have found is either disabling the 4k monitor, or disabling scaling. Both of which are far from ideal. Is there another fix I am missing? Thanks!

So, I play the precision platformer game Geometry Dash and I use a Keychron K2 HE for it. However, coming back to Linux Mint from Windows, i noticed that the polling rate was exceptionally low and I was dying to a lot of things that i would not usually die to. On inspection, i realized that the polling rate was locked to 125hz instead of the available 1000hz. I went to change the polling rate in the software, but it wasn't able to connect properly, and I have not been able to figure out a solution. Is there any way to change the polling rate otherwise?
