Used RX 5700XT 1080p gaming
Hello:)
I currently have an old GTX 1070. I'm in the process of transitioning to linux, but I've heard how the pascal generation of cards tend to struggle with DX12, as well as having poor driver support (nvidea in general).
I'm considering upgrading my GPU, but prices are fairly high in my country. I can get a new RX 7600 (non XT) for about $340, or a used RX 5700XT for about $220.
The 7600 is a little out of my budget, but it would be doable after saving for a little longer.
The main thing I'm concerned about is the risk of buying a 2nd hand GPU that's isn't under warranty.
Since I'm playing on 1080p, I'm not super concerned about performance differences, but a newer card, with better support and a warranty might give the 7600 the edge.
I would appreciate any insight veterans of the space might have :) Thank you

Game won't launch anymore
Hey, I'm currently playing The Knightling on Steam. Game worked fine yesterday but this morning when I launch it, it stucks on the editor logo screen and I have to force quit.
The only thing I did is enabling resizable BAR and above 4G decoding in my BIOS. I went back to disable them but the game still gets stuck.
I tried using a different compatibility layer, using X11 instead of Wayland, launching through Heroic instead of Steam but it's always the same result.
I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to get a crash log but it's very long.
This line comes the most :
1529.320:0148:014c:trace:unwind:RtlGrowFunctionTable 000000007017E7A0
With this one sometimes inbetween :
1529.320:0148:014c:trace:unwind:RtlAddGrowableFunctionTable 000000007026BE08, 00000000702CE6C0, 0, 513, 70be0000, 70bf0000
My PC is on Debian 13 / Gnome 48 / Kernel 6.12 / Steam native package

D7VK 1.1 adds experimental Direct3D 6 support for classic PC games on Linux
Should I change GPU?
Hi the question is pretty simple but it's not an easy answer.
I currently have an rtx 4070s and I switched to Manjaro a few weeks ago. I obviously noticed a loss in performance for DirectX games, the question is should I switch to an RX 9700-xt? I can buy one for around 600 euros and I think that I will be able to sell the 4070s pretty easily (given also the rumors of Nvidia cutting production). So what do you think? Is the upgrade in performance that noticeable?

does anyone else have this problem? if Memory Saver is enabled on chromium or brave browser, my computer often crashes, restarts or freezes.
Migrating to Linux
I've been dabbling into Linux for a bit now on my laptop, mainly with Mint. And with the sorry excuse of an "OS" that windows is becoming, I've decided to just fully migrate to Linux on my main PC (runs a 9070 XT and an 15-14600KF).
I'm mainly gonna game on it, so I don't worry much about compatibility problems with productivy software. Although I know online games don't like Linux much, as they can't run their spyware rootkits disguised as anticheats on it, but thats a given when migrating to Linux.
What I wanted to know is if there are any pro/important tips to getting the best and cleanest setup to get going on my fresh installation, for eg: specific programs or tinkering.
And also, which distro would fit my case the best? I've been thinking about 3 options: Mint, Bazzite, and CachyOS. What would you guys recommend of the three and why?
And as one last small question, will I have any problems with my CPU's E-cores and P-cores thing going on? As from what I understand those are built for windows 11 specifically.

Broken keyboard in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
On the latest Fedora version. Playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault from GOG through Heroic on Flatpak using the latest Proton-GE. Every key I press is interpreted by the game as "pause". Any known cause?

Trying to use lossless scaling but don't know what to do.
Hi, I installed Bazzite on my laptop with an RTX 3050 a few days ago, and I want to use Lossless Scaling on Plague Tale: Requiem for now. I am playing the game using Lutris.
I own LS on Steam, and I changed the beta branch to linux_testing. I installed lsvk gui using ujust get-lsfg (or whatever the command was; I don't remember anymore, but it worked). It installed an lsfg gui, and I pointed it to the Lossless Scaling folder from Steam for the DLL.
Now I am stuck. I don't know how to use it in actual games. Please let me know how to use it in Lutris AND Steam games.

Bazzite - 30 day review
Overall I would NOT recommend this OS.
ujust cantdoanything
Hardware: Ryzen 5 5600x, 3060ti
Recent OS experience: Ubuntu 18/22/24, Mint 22, Windows 10/11, Nobara 42
Perspective: Daily driver OS
General use: Gaming, Development
Gaming: Steam and linux native work well, anything non-native is a challenge. All pre-installed taskbar programs are unreliable (Bazaar never installs a flapak without failure, just use terminal)
Development is clunky (scope: Python for data/analytics). Package management is limited with immutable OS. Constant issues with path even in venv (forever ModuleNotFoundError)
Discord community is generally helpful but overly political. Never assume user has OS/Linux knowledge or experience. Don't ask technical questions, and expect to get banned.

How to fix FPS drop?
So I was playing Spider-Man Miles Morales, and it's running pretty good on high settings without ray tracing(Always higher than 60 FPS). However, when I turned on ray tracing(RT reflections: High, RT geometry: High, RT shadows: Off, Object range: 5 or 6), it runs at more than 60, then after 1:30 minutes, it drops below 30. I tested that with Spider-Man Remastered, and it had the same results. My config is: AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS, RTX 4050 Max-Q 6GB VRAM, 24GB DDR5 RAM. Now before you say it's your config's problem, I finished Spider-Man Remastered on Windows 11 with RT on, and it was running more than 60 FPS. Is this because of Nvidia driver's issue, or the game's own problem? And also if there is a fix for that? I tested it with the latest proton 10, proton experimental, GE proton, but none of them seems to work. If you can help me, please let me know.

Dual Booting Bazzite and Windows with or without GRUB bootloader?
Picom & NVIDIA Optimal config?
What should my config file look like for Picom? I'm using i3wm and have adaptive sync enabled but I'm sorta confused as to what exactly the vsync setting does for picom besides cause steam to glitch out lol.
Here's my config:
########################################
# Core settings
########################################
shadow = false;
fading = false;
frame-opacity = 1;
corner-radius = 0;
blur-background = false;
dbus = true;

glx-copy-from-front = false;
#glx-no-stencil = true;
#glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;

detect-transient = true;
detect-client-leader = false;

xrender-sync-fence = false;
log-level = "warn";
########################################
# Unredirect
########################################
# NVIDIA + VRR works better with this OFF
unredir-if-possible = false;
Should I change anything?

Resident Evil 4 Remake Ray Tracing Option Greyed Out
I'm on Nobara 43, but this also happen on Cachyos(Already try that distro). In windows I can change RT option to ON or OFF. I wonder why this happen only on linux? Is there a way to fix this? Because I want to use MAX preset but disable the RT. This RT also normal on Resident Evil 2 Remake even on linux.

Update: I've been working on a fork of vkBasalt to inject shaders into games with an in-game overlay GUI for real-time effect configuration, and it's pretty much ready to use. More info in comments.
Got an HP T630 (low power thinclient) and want to set it up for emulation. Which free/cheap OS is appropriate?
Was gifted an HP T630 and wanted to set it up for emulation. I have to flash a new OS onto it, and I read that Linux is best for something like this. Free is best, but cheap is okay too!
Specs are
AMD GX-420GI quad-core APU
8gb ram
128gb ssd
This is my first PC so any help is greatly appreciated.
