Hello everybody,

I absolutely despise Windows. About the only good thing about it is that most stuff works out of the box (as is the same with most Linux distros now - although there are some glaring issues). I then logically decided to move to Linux since Windows is so bad. However, I soon discovered that I have been cursed with a laptop with an Nvidia Optimus graphics setup (My only computer is a gaming laptop). This has lead to innumerable issues in Linux. The Nvidia drivers for Linux are supposed to automatically work with Optimus. Except they haven’t worked AT ALL for me. The main problem that I have been having is that the Nvidia driver will not automatically switch to the Nvidia GPU when I try to play Minecraft. This is a huge dealbreaker for me because my main game that I play is Minecraft. After much research online, I determined that, because Minecraft runs on Java, and Java is not normally a very resource-intensive process, the computer doesn’t flag it as needing the Nvidia GPU. Thus my performance gets kneecapped by the integrated Intel graphics. I tried various things online, but nothing, I repeat NOTHING, would get it to work. Now, you probably noticed that I never mentioned what distro I tried running. That is because I tried literally every single distro that I could get my hands on; spending days downloading disk images, installing my apps, installing drivers, troubleshooting, etc. A (non-exhaustive) list of distros that I tried is as follows:

• Arch Linux
• EndeavourOS
• Bazzite
• Linux Mint
• Ubuntu
• Garuda Linux
• Kubuntu

As I stated before, this list is non-exhaustive. I have spent days trying to get things working, to no avail. So I’ve finally resorted to Reddit. Is there anyone out there who uses Optimus with any sort of success? If so, what is your setup? Any and all answers or discussion of any kind is appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day!

Which gaming centric Linux distribution offers a fully set up retro arch emulator and how do I get castlevania rondo of blood to work on retro arch in said gaming centric Linux distribution and what is the base distribution that such a gaming centric Linux distribution would be built upon and by the way I love the kde desktop.

New Updated Menu

So as of right now only steam is supported, just add mo2 as a non steam game and run it once. It will appear in the setup. It installs all dependencies for game's and gives information for some games that don't work that well.

TTW installation now has a native port and is fully automated thanks to Hoolamike: https://github.com/Niedzwiedzw/hoolamike

Check out the script: https://github.com/SulfurNitride/Linux-MO2-Helper

I need to get a new name for it, but please let me know if there are any issues so i can work on fixing them! Or if this is something you would like to see get more updates. Please note there might be issues.

Hello,

I am trying to use Fedora as my daily driver, my main games are bnet games.

I have no issue to setup it via lutris, but WoW randomly stop working from one day to an other.
I have to try to download another version of proton to get it back working, but since this week, it doesn't work anymore.

I am the only one to encounter this issue ? Someone knows a workaround ?

Thank you !

I installed Linux for a week and I really liked it but I felt homesick from Windows for some reason. On windows, I feel like I can do anything I want but on linux, it felt like stress to check for a linux version of an app. To play games like fall guys or among us, dual booting feels like a hassle. However, I have this excitement about linux and its hard to explain. I like how unbloated linux is and it feels clean. However, I do have a NVIDIA graphics card and I don't know if I should switch back. Any suggestions? Should I switch?

I have setup some of mappings on my steam controller's "Steam button" related to the window manager such as Zooming, launchers and switching workspace.

When I play a game through Proton the input seems captured by proton and never reaches my window manager.

Is there a way to tell wine/proton to dispatch the keyboard input to the host session ?

Hello Linux Gaming community,

a couple of months ago I did my very first baby steps in Linux Mint. I really liked it so far, but switched back to Winblows 11. Why? At that time, I build a fresh new system (with Corsair ICUE components) and I had a lot of problems, setting up the controls and making the daisy chain working as intented.

Well, the root cause was, that the ICUE hubs needed a firmware update (which I wasnt aware of and only found out, while installing the ICUE software from Corsair on Win11). Then I decided to just stick with the debloated Win 11.

Now, I am again interested in switching to Linux. Currently, I use the AMD Adrenaline Edition for overclockung/undervolting the GPU and the build in meter for ingame monitoring and it works really well (I have a 7800X3D and a 7900XTX). Additionally, I use ICUE for RGB controls and fan curves. So far, ICUE has not caused a single issue after it was setup properly.

Question 1: What apps do the job of tuning the GPU? Similar to the AMD Adrenaline edition or MSI Afterburner.

Question 2: What options for performance monitoring do I have under Linux?

Question 3: Is there an all-in-one App, similar to ICUE, that controls my Corsair ICUE components, sets up fan curves and also controls the RGB? If there is no all-in-one app, what apps can you recommend instead?

Thanks in advance!

I've left linux since me and friends started play Fortnite, but now we migrated to League, I remember months ago when I used Arch it was possible to run LoL through Heroic Games using some specific wine version, it was no good experience but it worked. So, is it still possible to play LoL on linux?

OBS: I know Dual Boot is a possibility, I have done it before, but now I just rather have one OS in my PC.

Im in Steam trying to get HDR to work as i see people claiming that it does. Iv gotten Games to give me the option now but i dont beleive its true HDR yet as the SDR brightness slider in KDE still changes brightness and it also just doesnt look like true HDR. Im using this command so far

gamescope -f -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 240 --hdr-enabled --adaptive-sync --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

what am i missing? Im on a full AMD build Nothing special going on just a fresh Cachy os install. I have gamescope and everything else cachy comes with as a gaming distro. I got this far just by looking at the random entries on protonDB. This has to be more straightforward.

Hey everyone! I’m sharing a guide on how to create a script to manage G-Mode on a Dell G15 5530 laptop running Linux. G-Mode lets you crank the fans to max speed for better cooling perfect for intense workloads or gaming. We’ll cover installing the necessary modules, writing the script, and adding a shortcut to your menu.

Step 1: Installing Required Libraries

To control G-Mode, we need the acpi-call-dkms module to interact with ACPI. Here’s how to set it up:

• Install the module:
  Open your terminal and run:
  sudo apt install acpi-call-dkms
  Note: If acpi-call-dkms isn’t available in your distro, try acpi-call instead check your package manager!

• Load the module:
  After installing, load it with:
  sudo modprobe acpi_call

• Make it load at startup:
  To ensure it’s available after reboot, add it to your modules:
  echo "acpi_call" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
  Pro tip: Some systems use /etc/modules-load.d/- adjust if needed.

• Verify it’s working:
  Check if the module is loaded:
  lsmod | grep acpi_call
  If it’s empty, reboot or rerun sudo modprobe acpi_call.

Step 2: Choosing a Script Location

We’ll place the script in /usr/local/bin- it’s in your $PATH, so you can run it from anywhere without typing the full path.

Step 3: Creating the Script

Let’s write a script to toggle G-Mode on and off:

• Create the script file:
  In your terminal, type:
  sudo nano /usr/local/bin/gmode

• Add this code:
  Paste the following into the editor:
  ```bash

  !/bin/bash Path to store the current state

  STATE_FILE="/tmp/gmode_state"

  Check for root privileges

  if [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ]; then echo "Error: This script requires root privileges (use sudo)." exit 1 fi

  Create state file if it doesn’t exist

  if [ ! -f "$STATE_FILE" ]; then echo "0" > "$STATE_FILE" fi

  Read current state

  CURRENT_STATE=$(cat "$STATE_FILE")

  Toggle G-Mode

  if [ "$CURRENT_STATE" -eq "0" ]; then echo "_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {1, 0xab, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call echo "_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x25 {1, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call echo "1" > "$STATE_FILE" echo "G-Mode enabled: Fans are at maximum speed." else echo "_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {1, 0xa0, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call echo "_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x25 {1, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call echo "0" > "$STATE_FILE" echo "G-Mode disabled: Fans are in standard mode." fi ```

• Save and exit:
  Press Ctrl + O, hit Enter, then Ctrl + X to close Nano.

• Make it executable:
  Run:
  sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gmode

Now, typing sudo gmode will toggle between max fan speed and standard mode.

Step 4: Adding a Menu Shortcut

Want to toggle G-Mode without the terminal? Let’s make a .desktop file for your app menu:

• Create the file:
  Run:
  nano ~/.local/share/applications/gmode.desktop

• Insert this text:
  Add the following:
  [Desktop Entry] Name=G-Mode Toggle Comment=Toggle G-Mode to control fans Exec=pkexec /usr/local/bin/gmode Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/system.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Utility;
  Note: You’ll need Polkit installed (sudo apt install policykit-1). Swap the Icon path for any icon you like!

• Make it executable:
  Run:
  chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/gmode.desktop

How to Use It?

• Terminal method:
  Just type sudo gmode to switch modes.

• GUI method:
  Open your app menu, find “G-Mode Toggle,” and click it (you’ll need to enter your password).

Installed a brand new RX 7900 GRE, upgraded from my RTX 4060. I can't test the performance on my 4060 anymore but I remember on low/medium it was a stable 60fps (unless it was raining or things like that). Now, it dips to 50 on low which is weird considering it's a stronger unit and usage is not 100%. I know that AMD generally has worse RT cores but 80 RT cores on rx versus 24 RT cores on rtx is an obvious advantage. Is it that my game doesn't make use of the cores or is the performance THAT bad? All help appreciated.

Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
Kernel 6.8.0-55-generic
CPU i7-12700kf
RX 7900 GRE
32gb ddr4
Z790 chipset

Running game via GE-Proton9-25, options: gamemoderun %command%

1. RTX off 2. RTX maximum 3. RTX low

I want to switch to Linux but my gpu on default settings it's just loud and gets hot. Right now on windows I have a nice profile that keeps it quiet and cool and performant. How can I achieve the same on Linux? All I find is old posts, so trying to get some new information about it. I will use cachyos or just arch.

I'm using CachyOS on a Lenovo Legion Go, I need to set VRAM to auto as i use an Egpu when docked.

However, when playing a game via Lutris or Bottles, it's only using 0.5gb which is causing awful frame drops. Is there anyway I can increase this without manually going into the bios each time?

Any help would be appreciated.
