I am very experienced in windows/mac, with a mild experience in Linux (I used one special distro sometimes at work and have a steam deck that I use a lot and have f*cked around with its custom Arch mildly for emulation and what not. I also tried manjaro for like a week 2 years ago and the bugs killed it for me).

What are the pros and cons to each in mid 2024? I am looking for something to 90% on my desktop (pretty new amd cpu, pretty new nvidia GPU), keeping a win11 partition for the few games that only work there.

just through googling ive narrowed it down to these two (i think). I know pop OS is bigger and more popular and but beyond that I could really use the advice lol.

Slimbook and Fedora have teamed up again for a refresh of their Slimbook Fedora laptop with a second edition now available.

Ready for some more upgrades? Today Fedora Linux 40 has now been officially released bringing with it big upgrades with GNOME 46, KDE Plasma 6 and lots more.

Trackline Express is a game all about getting your train across an unforgiving desert, and it's a whole lot of fun coming from Bubblebird Studio who also made the cute Haven Park.

Hello. Sorry if I’m asking in the wrong place. I didnt know where else I could find a possible answer.

I did a new install of Nobara last night and it all works well except that it does not use my gpu (rtx2070). The drivers are installed and I get a good to go message but it isn’t being used and the about page shows the onboard graphics. I’m not a total Linux noob but this is the first time I’m trying to use a Linux system with a gpu. I know on windows I can force all apps to use the gpu but I’m not sure what to do here. Thanks.

I just installed Bottles (Flatpak) from Gnome software and went on to to setup the "Application environment".

Everything's fine. But when I went to "Run Executable" button and browsed to the file path where I downloaded a SETUP.EXE file , it just doesn't show up. I can't find this file. On the bottom right corner it says "Supported Executables", I changed it to "All Files" and then find that SETUP.EXE file. But even after selecting it, I got an error that says

Setup is unable to find installation languages in Z:\run\user\1000\doc\aa186c9f\SETUP.LID file.

What can I do?

[I am using Fedora 39 Workstation]

I’m trying out bazzite on a HTPC on all modern AMD hardware using an 8bitdo ultimate controller. I believe bazzite uses parts from Chimera with game scope and the ability to pull up a performance related overlay where you can enable or disable various sliders around FSR etc. Usually it overlays on the right side of the screen. I cannot figure out what hot button or combination to press to activate it? I’m not sure if this is something obvious or something further that has to be setup.

Referring to this overlay at 3:50 https://youtu.be/wdC_qiFoHN4?si=ZSIurirCnn1mOhSJ

Swarm Grinder is a repeatable action roguelite where you control a little mech, as you battle your way through a big swarm of cells that spawn various types of enemies. An interesting one if you enjoy games like Vampire Survivors.

The Khronos Group, the overseers of many open standards like OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenXR and more are currently looking to pay someone to improve OpenXR in Godot Engine.

You don't see many roguelites like this! KILLBEAT blends musical rhythm shooting with fast-paced action to create something that looks rather fun.

Hi friends.

​

I have flickering in all my games on Steam/Lutris/Heroic etc. It's a pretty strange flicker, because it's not a horizontal tear. It's like the screen is showing old frames, then your screen goes back in time for a few milliseconds, and it's very annoying and unplayable.

​

Something like this:

FPS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 10, 7, 8, 9, 11...

​

This happens when I use Wayland, but works correctly when I use X11/Xorg. But I need to get this working because I have more fps and better performance in Wayland.

​

I've tried launching the games through MangoHUD and GameScope separately (with Steam, Lutris and Heroic), but for some reason this crashes/freezes the game and doesn't make it work in Wayland.

​

I have been reading many reddit threads, forums, google, etc., but very few people have managed to solve it, and they do not say exactly how to solve it

​

I've read things like "in the next update it will be fixed", but it's been months, and the problem persists, so I'd like to try to find another method to fix it.

​

I am using EndeavourOS Arch with Nvidia 1050 ti, proprietary drivers (dkms), and everything updated to the latest version.

​

Is there any solution or anything you can share with me that might help me solve this? Or is the only thing I can do is wait?

​

Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

For context, I know this is probably an extremely dumb fix and I just havent probably searched the right thing, but i have tried, and the steam deck is my first primary use of a Linux distro.
I messed up with setting up nexus to go through mod organiser 2 , accidently hit another program quickly, now whenever i go to download a file through nexus, it opens up the game i accidently selected. How do i go about removing this association?
