Buenas gente, tengo una duda y no se que distribución elegir exactamente, quisiera algo personalizable y que sirva tanto para juegos en .exe como para otros programas que uso para trabajar como UnlockTool, Chimera, Etc.

Que distribución es mejor?

Up until 3 days ago, I was determined to stick with Windows 11 until the bitter end, telling myself that I would just run scripts every time I booted up to turn off telemetry after Microsoft turned it back on after a mandatory update. I was content with editing registry values and contending with MSYS2 and Windows Python installations. I was fine with the fans randomly speeding up while I was only browsing the internet. At one point I realized that it was more effort to continue fixing Microsoft's f***ups and jumping through hoops to get rid of rounded corners and all of the AI spyware than it would be to just switch to Linux.

Needless to say, I wiped my drive clean and started with an Arch based distro and it feels like using an operating system from 10 years in the future. All of the GNU utils, no more ads, the computer does what I tell it to do, fans are quiet even with 20 tabs and a roguelike open. To any Windows lurkers, Microsoft doesn't care about you, it's never too late to switch.

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, r/linux wouldn't let me post

I am highly considering washing my hands of Windows after getting fed up with various issues and the extreme push with AI and other anti-privacy issues. Just nearly had my whole system bricked because BitLocker got turned on automatically. Luckily I was able to get the decrypt key, but I never wanted BitLocker on ever.

I tried dual booting Linux Mint about 4 years ago and it was alright but not something that was good for gaming back then. So I am not completely new to Linux and kind of know some basics.

I am going to try dual booting either Bazzite or CachyOS but I am very torn on which to try first. I am on Nvidia, specifically a RTX 5070, so I know I will lose some performance but I am going to see if the performance loss is manageable.

So which do you guys think I should try first? I am probably 85% gaming and 15% just using the OS. I know there are a lot of videos out there addressing this very question, but I'd like to get some everyday people's opinions.

Mojang announced a big change is coming to Minecraft: Java Edition, one that could make it a whole lot easier to make mods and perhaps make them more exciting.

Just popping in to say my game's now available - a short, ridiculous 2D point & click adventure. Also made Mac and Linux builds available, tested both.
Also tested on my Steam Deck - works well, uses the right track pad as a mouse, and right trigger as click - that's all it needs really.

Hey! So recently, I downloaded GTA V from steam, and I tried Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, and many-many GE Proton versions, but when I open it, its start to launch the game, and after like 20 seconds, its "running", but after like 5 seconds its crashes. Nothing, just crash. Any fixes? (I use Fedora)

I'm facing a weird issue and haven't been able to find the root cause yet and wondering if someone has seen this.

This started after updating to Fedora 43 but the same behavior occurs on a fresh install (GPU is 4070 TI; CPU 9800X3D). To eliminate potential stuff, I also disabled secure boot and didn't restore my home folder after a clean install.

Essentially all games run from Steam display a black screen but I can hear the game audio.

The weird thing is that if I run Steam from the CLI then everything works as expected.

I'm not sure, but could it be that the games are somehow trying to run on the iGPU? What leads me to believe this is that the game process is not listed in nvidia-smi. It might be a GNOME issue, as it works from the CLI, but I'm unsure as well.

Initial performance was fine but I would get random freezes and I always saw "Compiling shaders" message in the bottom left hand corner of the game. After googling, I found some information about caching the shaders which I thought might help. I think my freezes have stopped or mostly stopped, but my FPS constantly goes from 200ish to 20 or 30 FPS in certain areas. One of my new settings meant to fix the stuttering introduced this I think.

PC information:

```bash OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE Kernel: Linux 6.17.5-arch1-1 Display (PG27UCDM): 3840x2160 in 27", 240 Hz WM: Hyprland 0.51.1 (Wayland) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (16) @ 5.27 GHz GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 [Discrete] GPU 2: AMD Radeon Graphics [Integrated] Memory: 4.16 GiB / 30.46 GiB (14%) Disk (/): 149.55 GiB / 3.64 TiB (4%) - btrfs (Samsung 9100 Pro)

NVIDIA driver: 580.95.05 ```

Steam settings:

```bash

steam launch command

echo "gamemoderun gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 240 --force-grab-cursor --fullscreen -- %command%" | sed 's/fellowship/fellowship-launcher/' | sh

compatibility:

GE-Proton10-21 ```

Should I use gamemode and/or gamescope or does that make it worse? How do I know if I should use the -dx11 flag or not? FYI, I see now there is a GE version 24 that I will bump.

Config: Some of my settings in envs.conf are causing the FPS drops. I am not sure what is useful or harmful. My goal is to eliminate stutters (potentially from compiling shaders?) and absolutely improve my massive FPS drops.

```bash

monitors.conf

env = GDK_SCALE,1 monitor=DP-1,3840x2160@240,auto,1,vrr,1,bitdepth,10

envs.conf

env = __GL_GSYNC_ALLOWED,1 env = __GL_VRR_ALLOWED,1

env = DXVK_STATE_CACHE,1 env = DXVK_STATE_CACHE_PATH,/home/.../.cache/dxvk env = DXVK_LOG_LEVEL,none env = PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI,1 env = PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU,0 env = VKD3D_SHADER_CACHE_PATH,/home/.../.cache/vkd3d env = __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE,1 env = __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH,/home/.../.cache/nvidia ```

This game is not very demanding so I am hoping to resolve the performance issues and clean up my configuration which I have probably messed up during troubleshooting.

I wanna switch, don’t feel like working against Windows anymore, most of my coding works in WSL but it’s getting annoying. Biggest downside will probably be the gaming side, I mostly play WoW nowadays. I’ll still use Windows as a dual boot until I’m 100% sure on switching

I code in my free time as well, tho any distro should be fine for that. I have full AMD Hardware, heard the support for it is better on Linux compared to NVIDIA

During my limited research it lead me to arch based distros, fedora and debian. I’m just unsure which one I should try, EndeavourOS seemed like a good middleground

I appreciate any input, thank you!

A single-player extraction shooter with ducks? Escape From Duckov is quite silly, but it works and most importantly it's entertaining to play.

Trying to play an old game, Lego LOCO, but I can't seem to actually set the color depth in gamescope, but I can set the resolution. Is there somewhere I can set the color depth?
