At my age, you have lived through all of the great IT tech rivalries from the beginning. The first major one I my mind being Windows PC vs the mac which spawned an iconic Apple ad campaign some years later. But there were many, many others, before and after.

In those all of rivalries, none I recall have been like Windows vs Linux gaming. What makes this one unique is Proton. This is the first time I've personally noticed a tech rivalry where the two groups bought exactly the same hardware and software and with Proton, down to the same Windows binaries.

In the early 80s when I was a poor kid from a poor family, we couldn't afford an Apple II which was the definition of a personal computer at the time. So the best people in my circumstances could do is buy something like a Commodore 64. For some reason I decided to buy a Radio Shack Color Computer. Not that I at all regret it. It was the first personal computer I owned in 1984. And it changed my life to this day.

But I soon realized that the C64 had a WAY more software, particularly in games. And boy did that piss me off. I remember all of the debate, such it could be had pre-internet, about why the CoCo (the Color Computer's nickname) was better and the "evil" inferior C64. However, in about the 5 or 6 years or so those machines were commercially viable, the CoCo languished in developer support, until they both died off.

The Windows v. Linux rivalry has little to do with the operating systems themselves. It's having to do with that insane desktop Windows ecosystem. Too often Linux folks confuse love of Windows with love of the Windows ecosystem. But with Proton, I think many more Linux users are catching on.

Hello,

So I am playing Resident Evil Resistance, it's a P2P multiplayer game and I have an issue where it seems there's a bottleneck somewhere that's causing regular lag spikes occurring every ~1sec and on top of that the framerate itself is halved. I think this is network related.

If you take a look at this video https://youtu.be/2tfNZFVjk4Q you can see these lag spikes and poor framerate around 45 FPS, then I pause game process to make the game drop connections to other players, but when I resume it the game doesn't end so I can roam around. At this point I am essentialy playing offline. After that you can see that there are no lag spikes and framerate is double of what it was before.

I tried live booting Garuda Linux and playing the same game on that OS and this issue is not present. On Steam Deck it's also fine. Of course I could nuke my system and install Garuda but I'd rather fix this than do that. Does anyone have an idea what could it be? I don't have any firewall or whatever on top of what Linux Mint has by default. Seems very weird.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.6GHz

GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060

RAM: 64 GB DDR4 2.3GHz

Network: Ethernet 1Gbps

Proton: Proton 9.0

Three sets of Steam Beta updates this weekend across SteamVR, Desktop and Steam Deck so here's all the details for you in one place.

Valve has pushed out what they're calling Proton 9.0 (Release Candidate 2), with a whole bunch of improvements for gaming on Linux Desktop and Steam Deck.

Every time I try to share my screen in a Discord call it brings up the select a window or screen menu, but a second later, Linux pops up its own little menu to select a screen. I thought it was just a security feature so I clicked my screen and clicked select. But a second after the menu dissapeared and I was about to select my screen in Discord it popped up again. It does this every time. If i somehow get to select my screen in discord and start streaming it before it pops up again, its just a black screen and isn't actually streaming

tl;dr: linux security feature(?) stops discord from streaming.

New to linux, just got Ubuntu up and running. I've installed Lutris and have successfully gotten Path of Exile to run, though with pretty bad performance relative to how it runs through Windows on the same machine. I've gotten the Battle.net client installed, but WoW crashes immediately after launch.

I'm a pretty computer savvy person. I've worked in tech support off-and-on over the years, I'm even inching my way into web development at my current job. So I know how to look at logs or a stack trace, the right way to google for a problem, etc. But I'm having trouble applying those skills here.

I guess my questions are this:

• I've got a GTX 1080, inherited from a friend. I think it's from about 2016? Runs most things fine on Windows. I'm a bit overwhelmed getting the right drivers (used this guide), but more importantly whether or not I've done it right. How do I figure out if I've done the drivers correctly?
• I've exhausted my google-fu for all iterations I can think of using "path of exile performance ubuntu" and "wow crash after launch ubuntu". I'm not sure what logs are available to me or how to get to them to hone in more on the actual problem.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My setup:

AsRock B650, Ryzen 7700, 64GB Ram, Nvidia RTX 4090, all air cooled. Configured BIOS to use integrated GPU as primary gpu device, DP connected to Motherboard with a IPS Dell 32 Gaming Monitor (144Hz) Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed, Linux 6.8.7-1-default, Plasma 6, no tweaks for gaming

Run games via steam flatpak with DRI_PRIME, as example cyberpunk 2077:

DRI_PRIME=1 __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION=54523 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr,force_static_cbv PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip --skipStartScreen

Benefits:

As a (ai) software developer i need cuda for tensorflow (f**k ROCm) I use openSUSE tumbleweed (> 5 years) as a daily driver with very recent kernels and tooling.

In the past new versions of NVIDIA driver fucked up my system once or twice a year. Thanks to btrfs snapshots i could resolve it quickly. However flickering with wayland was always a gamble. During the day i do not need the power of the RTX 4090 so it can idle at ~11 Watt if not used.

I can benefit of all the nice wayland features, enabled `always Adaptive sync', not only on full screen and 4K hidpi fraction scaling and a very stable usage. No more any nasty NVIDIA flickering bugs in xwayland ;-)

Performance wise i may loose some frames with this setup. However I play cp2070 with 4k, enabled raytracing and DLSS with around 60-90 fps. Good enough for me.

Hi, I use laptop with both intel and nvidia cards in it and generally couple days ago games launched from steam launcher wont start using RTX and this issue affects steam games only. Games from lutris for example are working perfectly fine. I run arch eOS. Can anybody help me figure it out?

hi,I found this game but it has no users, at the moment it's only me in the lobby. "join room" on itch .io or newgrounds for play multiplayer, the games have 3 phases:

1. Build/Simulate: Dive into the map creation phase where players craft intricate and challenging landscapes. Simulate gameplay scenarios to ensure maps are conquerable yet strategically demanding. Designing a formidable map is key to gaining an advantage in the battle to come.
2. Play Own Map: Step into your own creation and test your skills against the challenges you've designed. Navigate through obstacles, solve puzzles, and strategize to conquer your own map. Completing your map is essential to staying competitive in the current game round.
3. Player Enemies' Maps: Face off against maps created by fellow contestants in a thrilling player-vs-player showdown. Navigate through enemy territories, overcome traps, and outsmart opponents to conquer their maps. Every victory brings you closer to domination.

It's been a while. I still have a 1070. I am looking for a few things: - Works well with linux (obviously) - No proprietary drivers - I care more about FPS than Resolution/High Settings - I like to play - base building/city builders/colony games. I am hoping to play manor lords, Cities Skylines 2 (if they sort their issues out), - Role playing games Baldurs Gate 3 which runs poorly on my current setup - Story Rich games - Production games: I'm pretty big on satisfactory - I want to keep it for a long time. I've gotten quite a lot from the 1070 but it's definitely time to retire it. It doesn't seem like NVidia is doing the open source drivers for that card either, only for 20xx series cards and up. - Mid range with bang for buck being probably the biggest consideration. - 1440p will probably be my target but it would be nice to have some 4k gaming. I have a 4k TV.

The 7900 GRE looks like good value for money, but I wanted to ask before I buy. What has your experience been with your recent purchases and do you have any recommendations. Do you have the 7900 GRE and are you happy with it?

UPDATE: I looked into optimus-manager further, it seemed to be broken somehow. I decided to update it to latest git, so I hope this was the problem but I can't know for sure

I've been playing minecraft the last few days and everything has been running fine. Just now my laptop's fans started absolutely going ham (they haven't done this in the 2-3 days I've been playing), I didn't think too much of it, but decided to check htop anyway. Only thing of note I saw there is that one thread was at 100% cpu, but I didn't think that to be all that strange. I then remembered `nvidia-smi` was a thing and decided to check that. I got this horrifying report:

nvidia-smi Sat Apr 27 15:38:25 2024 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 550.76 Driver Version: 550.76 CUDA Version: 12.4 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC | | Fan Temp Perf Pwr:Usage/Cap | Memory-Usage | GPU-Util Compute M. | | . | | MIG M. | =========================================+========================+================= | 0 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ... Off | 00000000:01:00.0 Off | N/A | | N/A 40C P0 751W / 80W | 1MiB / 8192MiB |0% Default | | | | N/A | +-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+

To explain (because the formatting will probably fuck everything up), it's reporting 751W / 80W usage, almost 10x the limit. I did nvidia-smi again, and it reported a pretty normal 23W seconds later (I assume because I didn't have minecraft on screen anymore). Because of the normal value I assumed (and sorta hoped) that it was just an erroneous detection, but after a couple minutes (keeping minecraft open mind you), `htop` wasn't showing any cooldown, in fact now my CPUs were 99 degrees. I did `nvidia-smi` again to strangely get the exact same 751W power usage. I decided this was a little too strange, shut down minecraft and within seconds my CPUs cooled down.

Interesting detail to note, the air coming out of my laptop throughout this entire ordeal didn't feel scorching hot, it felt warm, but not blazing.

The only thing that I changed since yesterday is that I updated my nvidia drivers (to 550.76 proprietary drivers), and did a pretty large system upgrade in general (all to the latest on arch linux). Although playing for probably 2-3 hours before this everything worked fine.

My laptop specs as reported by neofetch are:

• Arch linux x86_64
• Kernel: 6.8.7-zen1-2-zen
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H
• GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU
• Memory: 32 gigs

I use optimus-manager to deal with power management so that may be relevant, also I have not overclocked my GPU. Additional potentially relevant details are that I was playing Minecraft through the modrinth-app (launcher) with Sodium and Lithium (minecraft optimization mods) installed.

Another weird detail I just happened to notice, when running `vkmark -p fifo` I always used to have 165fps (my screens limit) by now that's shot up to ~1700 fps, so I guess vsync got turned off somewhere (no clue where, I didn't touch anything).

Is this a common issue? Is it even an issue or just bad reporting by nvidia-smi (and by extension htop saying my temps are 99 degrees)? Is there a fix? I don't really know where to start looking, any help is appreciated!

Early this year, i have install EndeavourOS. Good OS imo but with NVidia GPU it was pretty rough. Now i have upgraded my PC : R7 5800x3D RX7900 GRE and 32gb RAM. Games runs really great but AMD Driver in Windows is not that great right now. Still a lot of issues not solved and in my case the biggest issue is the frametimes spikes i got in some DX11 games. I tried DXVK in games like Kingdom Come Delivrance but nothing change. I think it's about Shader compilation but i wonder if on Linux games will run better with Vulkan Pre-compile shader.

What should i do? Is experience with AMD specs in Linux is great?

So, while end of support for windows 10 is next year october, I'm constantly thinking about switching to Linux. I've been told Pop!_OS and Regata is good for gaming. How exactly, I don't know, because my knowledge on Linux is extremely limited.

What I want to know though, is because I play the game Elsword that will not launch without its Gameguard, as some other older MMORPGs still work this way, Linux would stop this naturally, but is there something out there yet that finally fixes this issue?

I'm a Fedora fan, but I'm not happy with its stock gaming experience. I'm looking for a distro with cutting-edge gaming features, like the latest kernel and nvidia drivers. I came across Nobara and Bazzite. Which one would you guys recommend? Give me your opinion.
