looking to do a budget build and was thinking AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050 .

is that going to be a stable easy to setup combo in Linux? any other hardware suggestions that won't have me crying in the corner?

I've been recently trying to play some games with workshop mods and I noticed that none of them work.

Every game with some workshop content just says 0b and won't install anything.

Kenshi,arma, zomboid,rimworld pretty much any game with the workshop feature just says 0b and I've already tried everything I can find online.

I'm on Linux but this seems like a common issue I feel like it has just happened recently cause I was playing with mods at least a year ago. My Gfs PC also on Linux has all mods working fine no issues

I've a monitor with 75Hz refresh rate. So all my games are naturally capped at 75 fps which technically isn't a problem but I want to benchmark my system. I want to see how much FPS each game can go upto. But I just couldn't find a way to uncap fps. I tried everything from turning off the fps limiter in mangohud and to even disabling compositor with no success.

My Specs -
Distro: CachyOS
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650
RAM: 8GB
DE: KDE Plasma Wayland (PS: I even tried using the X11 version with no success)
CPU: Intel Core-i5 10400
Kernal: Linux 6.18.6-2-cachyos

So, I have been wanting to swap to Linux for a while. But I heard Marvel Rivals doesn't boot under a VM, will literally say no. I would be ready to set up GPU passthrough as needed, don't worry. but I heard hypervisor and the other thing makes it not work.

Some may ask why I don't just play via Proton, and that would be better if I could. But I have a Pascal (GTX 1050ti), and due to Nvidia being the worst, when they cut off driver support for Pascal back in October, they left these old cards with a bug/inefficiency on Windows with Proton games with DX12.

Marvel Rivals is mandatory DX12, ergo I'll face these issues that basically leads to up to a 45 percent performance loss compared to windows.

Because of that issue with Proton on my GPU. Only solution I was gonna have is using a VM for literally this one game that I can't play otherwise, but I heard it won't boot under a VM either. Any ideas? Has anyone else booted it under a VM with Linux as host?

Any help is appreciated.

I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint.
On windows, I would get a consistent 120 fps (capped) on Marvel Rivals and would never receive any lag.
On Linux, i have the most inconsistent, jumpy fps going from 60 fps to 20 fps all the time. It never reaches above 100 fps and would go down to 20 fps whenever I switch screens.

Note I restarted my computer and shaders before this (not each attempt though). And my settings are on the low preset.
I've tried a few different (recent) proton versions: Experimental, hotfix, GE 10-25 thru 28.
This was in combination with with random commands I've found online like `gamemoderun %command%` and `STEAMDECK=1`

I've attached my system information below. It's a decent PC, so I'm really confused.
If anyone could help please, this has gotten really annoying. I switched to Linux so I could develop better, but I also wanted to be able to play games properly. A lot of my friends on Linux don't have this problem and are running fine.

So I recently installed my first AMD card (RX 9070) in my Debian 13 setup.

I knew I’d be losing the ability to do GPU accelerated Physx support and so I’ve been looking into hybrid systems where I could use my RTX 2080 as the dedicated Physx card.

A few questions:

1. On the software side, how do I set this up within Linux? In my setup, I had to purge all Nvidia drivers so that my AMD would work, is there a way to point drivers toward GPUs?
2. The main game I’m hoping to get this working for is Remedy’s Control. Anything special I need to do to get specific games to take this setup?
3. I have a Corsair SF750 as my PSU, would that be sufficient for powering this setup?

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys I have an issue that I simply don't understand.

OS: Nobara Controller: 8BitDo SN30pro

Controller works fine, but the moment I press any key all input from controller stops yet, but I can see it being detected via Steam and running test I can see input goes through. But in games nothing happens.

Unless I restart the game (sometimes)

Anyone experiencing this?

I'm in the process of having Bazzite on one SSD and Win11 on another, and I have a question:

I saw a video by ET (a very successful Brazilian YouTuber specializing in computing) saying that it's kind of bad for Linux Steam to read a game on a Windows partition (FAT32/NTFS). Is this really true? If so, what are the impacts and how bad is it? Is there another format that both can read?

Just to explain, I want to switch to Linux, but I'm going to do it gradually. However, I use some apps and games that only run on Windows (Filmora, Destiny 2). I chose Bazzite because I have an RTX3090 and it seems to have the best support for games and Nvidia so far

So I'm new to linux and have never really paid much attention on windows to the performance stats of games beyond checking RAM here and there. But with Linux, I know things can get more hands on and especially with gaming, problems can sprout without you fully knowing why. So while I test games, I leave Btop running on my second monitor.

I was testing Hollow Knight and got these numbers while simply on its main menu. I was running it through Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout), and my driver is the nvidia-driver-580-open according to the driver manager.

I don't really know what's considered normal for some of these. GPU in particular I hear is generally good to have maxed, but this was on the main menu of Hollow Knight, not gameplay.

Really, I'm just wanting to get an idea of a baseline/benchmark I can come back to when trying to see if I missed an installation or set something up wrong and the numbers turn bad.

Does such a thing exist

Will it work through wine

Or straight up no options/alternatives on Linux?

Trying to get these games (Cluefinders Adventure Pack) working in Bottles on Fedora. https://archive.org/details/cluefinders-adventure-pack

Audio works but not video. I'm not sure where to start, but I love retro PC games and it's done the same with others I've tried also so thinking it must be a setting.

Hi all,

Been trying to get The Sims 4 going for my sister and am hitting some serious issues. It worked for a little bit … and then decided to no longer launch. No errors, not much I could find with PROTON_LOG=1, just silently goes launching -> running -> dead on the Steam UI. I’ve tried verifying files, uninstalling and reinstalling, zapping the prefix, switching to GE-Proton, all to no avail. The only thing I’ve been able to figure out is that it seems to possibly be EA app-related - but nothing I’ve tried to alleviate issues there has helped either.

This’ll be on Arch on relatively modern hardware that had no issue handling the game until it quit out of the blue. Steam is being run natively rather than through the runtime.

Thanks in advance. :)

I've been using CachyOS with KDE Plasma on my desktop for quite a long time now, and I've had the "modrinth-app" package installed for playing modded Minecraft with friends for quite a long time as well with little to no issues I couldn't quickly find a fix for. Recently after leaving the launcher open for awhile I wanted to add an instance and realized that I could not view mod pages or install any mods. I tried to solve this by reinstalling the app but this only made it worse where now I cannot view ANY pages and I receive the

"An error occurred Unable to read loader tags from any source"

error from clicking on any parts of the app.

I have tried several things to fix this, all of which have failed:

- I wiped literally every file related to Modrinth from my computer and reinstalled "modrinth-app" from the AUR using Paru.

- I've tried "modrinth-app-bin" as well with the same results.

- I even tried using the appimage version but I couldn't even get that to launch.

Really I'm just looking for next steps because surely there's something I've missed that I can do, hopefully not related to anything drastic like reinstalling CachyOS. Also, I know alternatives exits like Prism, I just really like Modrinth's ease of use, and want to be able to use it if I can, especially since it worked perfectly up until now. I may have forgotten to mention some things I've tried here since they probably got lost in my head through the insanity of it all so bear with me.

I was trying to submit a tech support ticket in WoW and I realised that the ingame browser they use doesn't seem to work for me. When the web browser opens, I just get a perpetually spinning loading wheel. I'm currently dual booting CachyOS and Windows 11 so I switched to windows, logged in, attempted the same thing and found that the web browser worked fine there.

I'm not really fussed about the browser issue specifically, but I worry that it might be indicative of a deeper issue with my Linux install that the infinitely loading web browser may be a symptom of.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I thought maybe I had some sort of missing library that interfered with the SSL handshake needed for the browser, but as far as I can tell, I have all those libraries. I did some googling and tried to install d3dcompiler_47, but that didn't seem to help either.

I'm currently running WoW off a NTFS drive, which I know is a big no-no. I'm planning on formatting the drive this weekend. I don't know if that's relevant, but I thought I would include that information just in case.

some more information in case it helps:
I currently run WoW by adding to steam as a non-steam game and using proton-cachyos-10.0-20260102-slr-x86_64_v3 as a compatibility layer, and also tried using "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n,b" %command%" as a launch option

Cheers!
