Does freesync work on nvidia gpus on linux? I read that this works on windows as long as i use a displayport cable, does this also apply to linux? Does it work out of the box or do i have to do some tinkering?

I currently have a gsync monitor but i want an upgrade and the one im looking at only has freesync, i have an RTX 3090, use hyprland and sometime qtile on X11

Hi guys - hope things are well. Thank you all for help with my last post. I rewired my case and reinstalled the fans properly to ensure smoother airflow (turns out one of the fans was backwards and the wiring was a mess lol). The first image attached is my PC running cyberpunk 2077, the 2nd image is my PC downloading some files (close to idle).

Currently I'm not too concerned abt the GPU and CPU temps because I have moved all my fans to the front so I have no exhaust fans. But I am picking up 2 exhaust fans today so I imagine I will get better cooling results later tonight. What is more concerning now is my RAM. Under load it appears to be getting to above 55+ degrees and my computer starts screeching like a fighter jet. The RAM module is: Kingston KVR48U40BS6-8 DDR5 ram 2x8GB, 4800 MHz, CL-40.

should I invest in heatsinks for the RAM? Should I be concerned abt he RAM temps, should I just buy newer, better RAM? What kind of RAM should I get? Any advice is appreciated.

Ps. Sorry for the camera shots, still have not fully set up all my hotkeys, etc. On my new distro

Since EA has banned Apex Legends on Linux im was wondering if this definitely includes VMs aswell. I have a VM with GPU-passthrough etc. but i don't know if this is enough. Are there any workaround out there is dualbootign literally the only option now?

Hey guys, everything okay? I'm a new Linux user, I use the Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS distro. The only thing that bothers me is downloading mods for the Reisident Evil games. The game in question is R3 Remake. The FluffyModManager software has an .exe file to run it, but Linux does not open this file. Can you help this poor beginner Linux user?

Hoping someone can give me a definitive answer here.... is it possible to boot a debian host using an amd iGPU, and pass through an AMD GPU to a kvm guest?

I'm in the market to upgrade my gaming rig, but I have certain requirements. I'd like the host system to be based off of the new 9800X3D chip, and use the iGPU for all things linuxy. Windows will run as a KVM guest, and have an AMD GPU passed through to it. Critically, both systems must output displays at the same time.

I'm assuming this is easily done, but I've never dealt with an iGPU like this before, so I'd like to ensure it's doable before I spend the money on the hardware. My doubts come from the fact that my current 1600x-based system MUST have a gfx card in the first slot (the only x16 slot), but then that slot CANNOT be used as gpu passthrough because then there's no display for the host system. I'm hoping that an iGPU solves this problem.

Thanks for the feedback!

This error pops up whenever I try to run some games with Proton, typically AAA games.

I'm betting that valve and arch dev will release a true Linux Gaming desktop distro. To help centralize Linux Gaming. Which is clearly needed. Since every new users are always confused about what distro to chose for gaming.

But when it comes to game store we all know to chose steam first 🤭.

A centralize Linux Gaming distro makes absolute sense. And valve is the company that can do it to perfection.

I just wanted to know if there's a distro that's not reliant on logging into Steam. I know about Batocera, but I just wanted to know if there's any other gaming distros that are optimized to be navigated with a controller that doesn't require a Steam login like Bazzite or Chimera.

I am very new to linux gaming and would like to know which package format to use for gaming related stuff. I use flatpaks for almost everything and they work really well for me but l did heard that they can decrease performance.
