I recently switched from ubuntu to fedora, and it has been flawless and/or better, except for beamng.drive where running it in the vulkan mode causes the screen to flicker black. I have tried updating and installing mesa drivers and other drivers but no fix so far.

I don't want to use the DX11 mode because it runs at like 50fps as opposed to vulkan on ubuntu that got 80+fps

Hello everyone,

I'll say at the start that I'm high level programmer(don't mix that up, high level languages are simpler than low level ones), I mainly work with DB's and python I'm not very knowledgeable about kernel so my ideas may not be applicable.

I've been thinking about possible solutions apart from what was already proposed on this reddit.

Currently proposed ideas:

only known applicable solution I'm aware about and is realistic is closed kernel that can't be easily tampered with and that was already mentioned in few discussions.
this would be simplest and most applicable solution we could have, one provider creates closed source version of kernel and when you'd like to play anitcheat game that requires kernel access/safe kernel, you enable that kernel.

pros:

- games that have stricter anti cheat policy will allow access for that specific user to access their servers, potentially

cons:

- proprietary kernel version that is against spirit of the system and technically GNU GPL license

- kernel is obfuscated and you cant be 100% sure its safe, you have to trust the provider

My idea:

This idea is very simple on paper but may be horrible logistically at best it would be slightly inconvenient for maintainers of distros, lets create checksum and then encrypt(technically compress) that checksum in deterministic way into shorter key that can be saved for later authentication
Translating from bit technical mambo-jumbo this would be encrypted snapshots of kernel state at specific moments which would allow authentication for quite simple anticheat module that would simply lookup that signature in approved signed keys provided by maintainers of specific distros. this property would need to be immutable and there should be no way to spoof it.
pros:
simple verification process from end user this technically should provide same security level
no security impact on end user machine

cons:
longer boot process as whole kernel would need to be checked and then a key from that checksum would need to be generated.
developers would have to be willing to create a new module to their anti cheats that would check authenticity of the key provided by user, this should however be fairly simple even if they would create their own DB's for that
if there would be no one provider for those signed keys this would be hell a lot of a logical hassle for maintainer that would like to use this system
distro maintainers would need to regenerate this key with every major change to kernel, and system image.

uncertain aspects:

I'm not sure how to ensure this property cant be spoofed
I'm not sure how much adhoc changes on Kernel can be done without reboot and how much cheats would need to work on kernel level.

I'm counting on some critique of the idea and confirmation whether this could be even implemented.

if it cant be implemented or there would be no way to prevent spoofing of that property sorry for wasting your time dear readers.

As the title says I have this issue, you can see on the attached screenshot. The window is completely empty. It's a games setup running through Steam Proton. I tried several Proton and Proton-GE version, also Wine-GE through Lutris. All the same issue.
On X11 it's working fine.

I'm using Nvidia (3070 with the latest 570 driver).
Any ideas how to fix this?

The same setup works on my Steam Deck and, as I said before, also on GNOME with X11 on the same machine.

I’m using EndeavourOS with latest GNOME and everything updated through yay. My specs: Ryzen 7 3800X, Asus Prime-P X57 mainboard, 32gb ram, Gigabyte Aorus 3070.

SOLVED: Proton-GE 10.3 seems to fix this!

I'm having an issue where I can't select anything from the list (like Proton versions or storage drives). When I try to select "Proton Experimental," the whole list disappears, and nothing gets applied. Anyone else facing this or know a fix?

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I have a mini PC I use mainly for emulation and would like to turn it into a little Linux steam console with Cachyos.

My question is, I already have it setup with Windows full of games, can I simply copy over the folders (BIOS and ROM files) to an external drive, then paste them back into a new Cachyos install?

Cheers

Hello fellow gamers,

I was wondering... with proton, we're now able to play a large majority of games. But, aside from the obvious anti-cheat, what makes some games still unplayable? Is there a theoretical limit, a category/technology of games that proton will never enable? Is it only a matter of time before everything is playable?

Hey, i have been using linux for a couple of weeks and i just got back into cs2, i played for years on 4:3 stretched but i cant put it in arch, i have tried gamescope, nvidea settings, codes on the launch i have no clue on what to do anymore

Right now my setup looks like this: Ryzen 5 5600 (non-X) Asrock B450 Pro4 GTX 1660 Super 32GB RAM (4 x Patriot Viper 4 Steel 3200 MHz CL16) Monitor: DELL 2412M (24", 16:10, 1920 x 1200) Running KDE Neon, and I’m not really planning on switching to another distro.

I’m not looking to change the whole platform for now — maybe I’ll upgrade the CPU at some point, if it actually makes sense. I’d like to swap the GPU for an RX 7800 XT. I also finally want to switch to Wayland, but NVIDIA is a total mess with it.

I play quite a bit, but I’m not chasing super high frame rates or refresh rates. Usually I’m good with a stable 40–60fps, and recently I’ve even been playing at 30 without it feeling like a disaster. I don’t play online games, only single-player stuff.

I’m also thinking about getting a curved monitor, something around 34".

Based on all this — do you think buying the 7800 XT makes sense? And if not, what would you suggest instead?

Thanks in advance!

When I'm playing CS2 and another sound plays (like a Steam notification or Discord mute), my game audio cuts out! Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. When it does, my headset gets no game sound (not even showing in KDE settings), so I have to switch the audio output to speakers, then when i switch back it still gives no sound. To get the sound working again i have to restart the game.

I am using Arch Linux with pipewire i also have sdl_audiodriver=pipewire in launch settings in cs2 with gamemode. It also happens to my friend aswell using cachy os

Hey all, I use an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with an Nvidia RTX 3070. I have one gsync monitor which is 1440p 165hz and another monitor which is 1080p 60hz non gsync. I started with Mint, discovered there was an issue with X11 and gsync when operating two monitors but using gsync on one. This made me try Kubuntu and KDE Arch because KDE uses wayland and I thought this would allow me to play a game with gsync and then have discord on the other screen. I then discovered that because I use nvidia i can't use gsync at all if using two screens because this is something nvidia need to fix, but AMD has already sorted this out. So now i am basically back at square one. Is there an alternative set up that people use? I have read a lot of posts on forums and reddit about this but no one says what they end up doing in the end as the next best alternative. I know some people run some kind of script that disables the second monitor if gsync tries to enable itself but keen to hear what other people do.

Also, if i disregard the above issue I actually prefer cinnamon over KDE plasma. I have read that cinnamon is better for nvidia GPUs as it requires less resources but to me it feels a bit faster and looks a bit simpler. I appreciate that KDE is more modern and customisable but i find it really ugly sometimes. BUT cinnamon is older and is less likely to keep up to date compared to KDE. Am I at risk of missing out on anything worthwhile if I choose to stick with Cinnamon. If in the future i choose to get an AMD GPU i will probaby need to move to KDE. For now is it worth sticking to Cinnamon on an Nvidia GPU and saving system resources at the cost of not keeping up to date with features from KDE?

To summarise, two questions:

1. What do people use as an alternative to Gsync on an Nvidia GPU? Do people just disable one monitor to take advantage of gsync on the primary monitor or not use gsync at all?
2. Is it worth sticking to Cinnamon on an Nvidia GPU and saving system resources at the cost of not keeping up to date with features from KDE? If it is just personal choice I will likely stay with Cinnamon until i get an AMD GPU to take advantage of the VRR dual monitor set up.

From time to time I share updates of our game here, since we are working on native support for Linux and, by extension, the Steam Deck and we always received great support form you all.

I was trying a dev build this morning and felt like sharing this short clip because I love this animation :D

If you want to give the game a look check out the Steam page. This clip is NOT from the curent demo, but the one we will release in a couple weeks, so feel free to try the current one and see the difference afterwards or join us directly during Next Fest!

I try to play this game, it runs, but audio is kinda squeaking/crackling a bit (it's like it has a subtle "interference" granular noisy sound during playback; I don't know how to explain it better).

I run the game in Steam with Proton Experimental and args: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" gamemoderun MANGOHUD=1 %command%.

FusionFix was installed.

I tried to tinker with pipewire-pulse and pipewire configs, but to no avail. I tried to run the game with args WINEALSACTL=1 and PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 but to no avail again.

The changes I made in pipewire-pulse:

nice.level = -20; rt.prio = 99;

pulse.min.req = 256/48000

pulse.default.req = 512/48000

pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000

In pipewire.conf per se:

default.clock.rate = 48000

default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 44100 48000 ]

default.clock.quantum = 512

default.clock.min-quantum = 128

default.clock.max-quantum = 2048

default.clock.quantum-limit = 4096

It works fine on PC but not on my Linux machine. Latest non-enhanced version. Whenever there is a screen to change contrast (first boot) game just crashes. This is output of the terminal. Can you please help me what do I need to do? Game for some reason also does not want to work on Lutris, only via Terminal.
