Firstly, I am completely new to linux, so take that into account in your replies

I am currently running win 10 on an 500 gb ssd. However, I just got a new 1Tb ssd. I am planning to install linux Mint on that.

I don't know if I'll be able to fully switch to linux yet, so I would be using both operating systems regularly.

What should I do with storing my games? Should I make a shared partitiom on my new ssd, that both OS can access. If so what filesystem to use? Or rather just split my games between win and linux, and have a different partition for both? Is it possible to have Steam on Linux access the same knstallations of my games as Steam on Windows?

Feel free to give any other tips too regarding getting into linux gaming or dualbooting.

Hmmm... Yesterday, thanks to Lutris, I easily installed WOW Classic on my Debian laptop. Works just as well as under Windows.

Just a joy )

Hi!

I've been on Linux since months now and wanted to try VR on it (I was dual booting Windows 11), would you guys recommend me ALVR or WiVRn as of right now?

I chase high frames but also clear visuals and no stutters/lag.

Thanks!

This mostly happens with Monster Hunter World, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and Tekken 8. The latter two aren't as bad as I can usually get over an hour without crashing, but Monster Hunter World crashes without fail about 5-15 minutes into playing. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated. Happy to provide logs and any other information if needed.

Nix config (if it helps): https://github.com/rossedwards64/dotfiles
Specs:

OS - NixOS 24.11

Proton version - Experimental

CPU - Ryzen 5 5600X

GPU - RX 7800XT

Thank you

I tried everything: changing proton version, changing disk, verifying integrity, clearing download cache, but it just doesn't wanna work. It was working perfectly not even 2 days ago and now it just decides to die on me

Hello all. Sorry if this has been answered 1000 times but its the best way I know how to research without breaking things. I am running bazzite HTPC, which I am very happy with. Unfortunately I can not play everything I would like to and am searching for the safest way install and play some windows only titles. So far the best option seems to be creating a windows togo external nvme with rufus and using my USB-C 3.2 2x2 port. Looking for opinions on this as well as any further sugesstions, warnings, tutorials, etc. I also have only seen videos of people doing this with a system already running windows. Will I have any problems doing it from my kde desktop? Or should i use a different computer to create the drive. Again, i am sorry for not knowing much and happy for any information. I still have a lot to learn about linux.

i wanna be transparent and say i am using a pirated copy of the game because i already own it on my ps5 and i don't really want to pay 60 bucks for it again tbh, not sure if that has something to do with it. (im on EndeavourOS KDE btw)

So my CPU is Ryzen 5 5600G with an iGPU, and my GPU is an NVIDIA GTX 1080.

The NVIDIA GPU has only one HDMI, and the other three ports are DP, and my motherboard has one HDMI as well as a DVI.

I have a 1440P monitor and a very old LG one of 1080P, and I don't have any DP cable so I need to connect one of them to the motherboard.

So I plan to setup like this: 1440P monitor <--HDMI--> NVIDIA GTX 1080 1080P monitor <--HDMI--> Motherboard

And I only game on the 1440P monitor.

Are there going to be some kind of performance penalty to be expected? I mean Pascal GPUs are already having performance issues in Linux. I am asking about issues related to my monitor setup.

I am running X11, Ubuntu 22.04. I am not going to use Wayland anytime soon because I need to use Davinci Resolve and I have read somewhere it is not going to work well in Wayland, yet.

Thank you for reading to this part. I know it may be a stupid question but I really want to know the answer.
