Hello everyone,

A question from a fellow linux gamer , those of you who use Nvidia cards , which driver version are you running ?

I'm running latest non beta 575.64.05 on 4060 on bazzite and it's been a huge pain. From some games crashing to severe fps drops / stutters.

yes , I've troubleshooted the case thoroughly, it's nvidia. mostly vram related.

If you love table top / board games, you should check out the latest board game Humble Bundle.

I own the game through GOG and installed with Lutris on CachyOS.

Tried a variety of wine package and used 'proton-cachyos' with "STEAM_DECK=1" environment variable, but I am at my wits end. I also tried the SoC EE cutscenes mod on NexusMods, yet the cutscene aren't loading.

Nothing seems to work, and I never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. before, would like to have a seamless experience.

Cutscene in question

Does anyone have some suggestions or an outright fix? Thanks in advance.

1. Why do some of you use GE-Proton so much? Is there a benefit I'm missing out on with stock Proton?
2. I'm gonna use Hyprland with this new installation, is there anything I should consider for gaming?
3. Is PipeWire still the best sound server?
4. Should I consider using an alternative kernel or is the performance boost not that significant?

Thanks for any help.

Hi there.

I want to move Minecraft's ".minecraft" folder to a different location on my other SSD. I want minecraft to use the .minecraft folder on the other SSD and not recreate the folder in it's original position when the minecraft launcher is loaded.

I am doing this because I am treating my 2nd SSD as a gaming drive for save files, mods etc.

I'm new to linux in general, so I'm a bit stuck on how to do this.

I'm using Bazzite KDE (if that helps at all).

it really just doesn't work on my system no matter what. i've tried on arch, fedora, and now ubuntu, and it didn't work on any of those. it always complains about pyzstd:

1, If pyzstd module is dynamically linked to zstd library: Make sure
not to remove zstd library, and the run-time zstd library's version
can't be lower than that at compile-time; On Windows, the directory
that has libzstd.dll should be added by os.add_dll_directory() function.
2, Please install pyzstd module through pip, to ensure that compiled
.so/.pyd file matches the architecture/OS/Python.

and i've reinstalled pyzstd in every way imaginable and it did not work. i don't know what to do anymore.

Used to run pop OS on my system back in 2019 and ran games on my windows 10 virtual machine, it was a royal pain to get a script to hook on my GPU but once I got it working it was very cool (switched back to Windows after I couldn't figure out how to fix some audio glitches along with other issues). I'm thinking of making the switch back to Linux, maybe to CatchyOS or KDE but I need Windows to run Adobe creative suite and a few other Windows exclusive stuff. I have a ryzen 9 5900x and an RTX 3090, is it still an option today? Is it better? Is it worse?

The more I have learned computing and satisfied my tech geek, the more I have begun to despise Windows especially once they started forcing telemetry. I been dual-booting with Windows for at least 12 years now and nowadays I just play everything I can on Linux. Been playing a lot of The Finals as it is a competitive team and skill-based shooter that is a blast and devs are committed to keeping Proton support.

Linux is the future the more Windows keeps releasing bloated spying garbage masquerading as an OS. Been using Cachyos after nearly a decade on Fedora and am loving it. I used Arch previously before Fedora for a good 6-7 years. We are living in good times for Linux gaming because I can remember when everything was a struggle to get working.

I cannot get CS2 to go full screen the KDE Taskbar is always visible. But everytime I launch the game if I switch from Borderless Fullscreen to Fullscreen back and forth it fixes it. Why is it like this? I am using Arch with Latest KDE and Nvidia

Currently building my first PC and i need help deciding on the right gpu for my budget build. currently stuck between the RX 6000 challenger D or an Arc b570 (Asrock challenger OC or Sparkle Guardian OC) the parts list can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ccYngn I mainly plan on 1080p gaming and simple 3d modeling. I'll be using Linux mint MATE as my OS.

I need a replacement for my G603. This has AA battery, hot swap switches. Looks similar to the G305 which is the closer replacement to what I have. Unfortunately, I've gone through three Logitech mice and they all double click in under a year. I'm kind of done with it.

I would be curious to know if battery life reporting (and warning) is working.

Backing up my data to move my desktop to Linux but I have almost a TB of game data I really don't want to redownload. Does Steam's backup and restore method work for moving games from Windows to Linux?

So I downloaded the game off my steam library to my steamdeck. Downloaded and extracted f4se off of nexus to my fallout4 folder.

I attempted to run the f4se loader from desktop mode, selected my fallout 4 wine prefix (GE 9). Then nothing happened.

Then I renamed the f4se loader to fallout4.exe and renamed the original fallout4.exe file to fallout4old.exe. Switched back to gaming mode and attempted to run fallout4 from the steam client.

Steam ran all its checks then launched the executable. Then it said "couldn't read arguments" and closed back to the steam game page.

What am I missing? Ive never installed fallout4 or f4se on my steam deck before, (Got it for christmas) so everything is a clean slate, ive adjusted nothing other than what ive written here.

Help me get my favorite game of all time working with f4se on deck please?

this is a pirated version of AC Valhalla so i'm not sure if this happens on steam version or not, currently running EndeavourOS with nvidia RTX 3070 laptop with 580.76.05 drivers.
is there a fix that is not "buy the game"?

Now full disclosure, I am using a tv for a monitor, a laptop with the screen taken off, Nvidia 3080 mobile, and wireless keyboard and mouse. However even with a wired mouse I still have very bad input lag. I used this same tv and computer to play games on Windows and never had issues. But when I use Ubuntu I have issues where input is delayed probably 5 frames as well as significantly worse performance. I used to be able to run most of the games I play at 60fps 4k (Motortown: Behind The Wheel, and Planetside 2 are the ones I'm talking about specifically)
I think one of the issues is that the gpu clock for some reason is capping at 380MHz and I have no clue why. But that wouldn't explain why I have ~5 frames of input lag (i can lightly flick my mouse to the side and return to center before it starts moving.
I used the '__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 nice -n -11 %command%' command but that feels like a bandaid? do i just have to change the 11 to roughly how many milliseconds its lagging?

edit: i have nvidia 550 proprietary drivers (its the only one that didnt cause the gpu to fall off the bus when using Blender)
