So, i saw a lot of videos talking about FydeOS and how it runs android.
I was looking into how it does it, and looks like it ports the Android subsystem into the distro.
My question is: How is the performance compared to waydroid?
I currently use arch and wanted to know how different it was. Have anyone tested both?

I played ARK on windows before switching to linux, and I've seen comments on protondb that it's playable in single player (my preferred play style), but I'm having issues with the downloading process.

It keeps trying to install 1.3Gb then open, but obviously fails. I tried clearing the download cache and even went to properties to force it to download via proton experimental. It starts to download the proper 63ish Gb, but then switches to 1.3Gb again less than a minute later.

Has anyone else had encountered and had success with this?

Title. to me, it seems weird that they don't. If the concern is disk space, I would argue most people can acquire a 16GB USB that can hold a little more storage. It gives Nvidia users a smooth out of the box experience in a live environment instead of nouveau which is often buggy and outright crashes on my own hardware.

I remember Pop OS doing this when I tried it once and it streamlined a part of setup. Despite this, many distros still expect you to go out of your way to install Nvidia drivers after running their installer. Most drivers on Linux don't need to be actively installed with DKMS or anything, so why not go the extra mile and make things easier for a large segment of desktop users?

I'm curious if there's technical limitations preventing this from becoming reality.

Hey guys, I'm new to Linux. Sorry. to make a long story short: I wanted to undervolt my 3070 GPU, so I searched online and found this app: LACT

My undervolt on the OC tab seems to be working, but for some reason, here on fan curve, my GPU fans are still spinning even under low load. As you can see on the pict, the GPU temperature is 40°C, but the fans are running at 1192 RPM.

Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Guys - I am completely new to the whole Linux but I want to get started - right now I have real big Desktop-PC but I want to keep it Windows (at least until I know how to interact with Linux). For that Reason - I want to buy a MiniPC. On Amazon, there are different Mini-PCs from 200-400€.
Do you think one can get started on those with Linux -how can a I find out about that? And if so - could I try bazzite and make a small gaming station for simpler games (retro and 2D)?

Thanks in Advance!

Many said that my protonDB+ project doesn't make sense since there is winehq, so I wanted to separate some points about winehq that I don't like about those who disagree with my points that I have here at your disposal.

• winehq is complicated to add games: games on winehq ask for a lot of information to add and describe problems since from what I saw it would be focused more on applications and protonDB+ is focused more on games like portonDB. winehq is more for wine developers so needs specific information, but protonDB is for gamers for gamers and not wine programmers
• have active winehq users: I see very little content and updates from appDB, many people said "you're also not helping appdb with reports and create another website" I created it for the ease of reporting and adding games if you liked using appDB, congratulations to you. As Linux has several options for several people, my goal is to help several people and not a specific group of people.

I appreciate the comments that helped me improve my site and my perspectives on winehq

Last time I used a 1060 on Linux, it was one of the worst gaming experiences I had. But that was before the famous 555 driver that brought Wayland support and all the other upgrades.

But when I tried installing Fedora on a PC with a 1060 later, I couldn't even boot into the desktop. It barely showed GDM and was unusable. I couldn't even try to install the proprietary drivers.

Is this the same on all Wayland only distros?

Before 555 driver I was forced to use xorg, and only gnome kinda worked for that, I also tried XFCE but had massive issues with games.

And I think I heard somewhere that anything below the RTX series is no longer supported...

Can someone share their experiences with 10 series, Nvidia drivers and Wayland?

Hello,

TL;DR : With the same hardware and BIOS config, I have random crashes during GPU-intensive games on Linux, not on Windows, without overheat, and I'm looking for ideas on where to find more logs to solve this crashes.

I'm trying to move from W11 to Linux for my gaming computer (I choosed Ubuntu 24.04). I'm quite experienced on linux servers, but not at all for linux desktop/gaming computer.

Overall it works well, but I had two complete system crash (unexpected reboot), which I never had on Windows (really never ever). So I'm wondering if I really should switch to Linux (I don't want to be scared of a crash every time I run a game). Before cancelling this idea, I'd like to have informations from you on how to diagnostic what could happend;

As it's a hard crash/reboot, logs are mostly inexistant, so I don't know where to search. One user on reddit mentionned UEFI logs, but it seems that my motherboard don't log these.

Here are my thoughts:

• Reminder : for the same games, I never had any crash on Windows. The only change I did is install Ubuntu, no hardware/BIOS change.
• The two crashes happened on different games : one on Two Point Museum, one on CS2. Both are native linux (I think, I'm still not a proton expert)
  • I played 10 hours to "Roottrees are dead" (also native linux), very less GPU-intensive, without a single crash, so it might be related to GPU usage
• While gaming, the CPU stays at ~65°C, GPU ~50°c, no thermal throttling.
• not a single crash outside of these two games (but I used only 4 games)
• I ran intensive tests with OCCT (GPU and CPU at 100%) for 30minutes without a crash/overheat

The main problem is the lack of useful logs. kern.log/dmesg tells nothing, journalctl -b -1 -e is filled with appArmor denied access and nothing is related to hardware except for this block I hade one time, but minutes before the crash, and maybe not relevant because it's a "corrected error" (and again, same hardware on windows without a crash):

kernel: [Hardware Error]: L3 Cache Ext. Error Code: 4 kernel: [Hardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN, tx: GEN, mem-tx: GEN kernel: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged kernel: [Hardware Error]: Corrected error, no action required.

Harware: I use a RTX 4070SUPER + Ryzen 7 5800X3D on a X470 Gaming Plus with 32GB RAM. The PSU is 1 year OLD and is a Gold Corsair 850W. Nvidia drivers are the one installed by Ubuntu at installation (the propietary one) v580.95.05. Ubuntun 24.04 is up-to-date, with Gnome on X11.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT : sorry for the mispelling in title, I can't change it / Moved TLDR to top / spelling

Hey everyone! I'm wondering which system performs better in regular games like Minecraft and other mid-range titles I want to know where I’ll get better FPS and smoother performance

My laptop specs: Intel Core i7-1165G7 Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 8GB DDR4 RAM NVMe SSD 128GB Has anyone compared Fedora or Arch to Windows 10 LTSC 21H2 for gaming? How’s the performance and overall experience?

And it’s only the .dll file for any version of DSfix that does this. Every other mod with a .dll file I have to point to in Properties immediately works the second I put it in launch options. This one just crashes the game immediately, no questions asked. I get the white screen, so it is starting, and then it closes a second later. I’ve given up on figuring this out, but maybe someone will be able to troubleshoot it.

Oh yeah, I did get an error message when I lowered my Proton to 5.0 instead of an immediate crash. ‘Loading of specified dinput wrapper failed with error 127: Procedure not found.’ It does this with every version of the mod.

I am running xfce, and wondering if anyone compared Cinnamon to it as a daily driver on same install/system (alternating between them)

Are there a real downsides to using Cinnamon for gaming?

Do apps that you install under xfce just move over to Cinnamon DE if you select it during login?

So I wanna switch from windows to most likely bazzite and was wondering if there's any third party alternatives for wired VR with a meta quest headset as my wifi router is on the other end of the house so wireless vr looks like ass
