I am interested in several games that are PlayStation exclusive.
It is unknown whether and when they will be ported to PC by Sony, and waiting for ShadPS4 to "mature" may also take quite some time.

I don't want to enter the PS ecosystem at all, meaning buying a console, because in reality, the games I am interested in can be counted on one hand, and the rest are already ported to PC, and the console will soon just sit and collect dust, and I would have spent a lot of money on something I won't actually use.

A friend suggested the idea - to get PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, which offers a Cloud Streaming service. This way, I pay for 1 month, which is about $20, and stream the games on my computer. For this 1 month, I will play everything that interests me, so it's quite worth it in terms of money.

And here are my questions:
- Has anyone tried this? Does it actually work? And more importantly, does it work under Linux and how does it behave?
- What if I don't have a PS controller, but an 8BitDo (Xbox-like)?
- What is the quality of the picture and what is the input lag?

go to home/.var/app/org.vinegarhq.Sober/data/sober/appData and there you will find GlobalBasicSettings_13.xml, now open it with your preffered text redactor and on line 22 there will be a framerate cap, change the number to something like 9999, and here you go, no more fps limit!

We should only support devs who are making games for our eco system?

Hi everyone,

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 on CachyOS and I'm facing a weird issue where my FPS is at 30-40.

My Setup:

• OS: CachyOS
• GPU: RX 5700 XT
• CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
• Proton: proton-cachyos-native

The Situation:

• The game runs very smooth, I have zero stutters or lags.
• FPS fluctuates heavily between 30 and 40 FPS in the city.
• Even if I enable FSR Frame Generation or lower the graphics settings, it stays at exactly 30-40 FPS.
• VSync is turned OFF in the game settings.
• Maximum FPS limit is turned OFF in the game.

Currently, got a 7800X3D, RTX 5080, SN850X SSD booting Pop OS for two weeks now.

The only AAA games that I've confirmed that runs better here in Linux is Red Dead Redemption 2 and Dying Light 1.

May I ask what more games besides Old or 2D (Silksong, Balatro, Hades and Vampire Survivors), AAA Games that looks good that would run better with my Nvidia GPU and the graphics are cracked all the way up?

Hello

I'm new to Linux and not very tech savvy so I don't even know how to start fixing this issue. The problem is when ever I play any steam game on my laptop it works perfectly fine but the moment I plug in a second monitor not matter the size of said monitor, my games will open and sometimes even load but after a 2-3 minutes will freeze and I will get a error message saying the game file name is not responding. Here are my specs in case that matters

Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.8 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.4.1 vt: 7 dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0

I'm sure this story gets told a lot here... The enshitification of Windows in particular and Microsoft in general means I'm looking for somewhere else to do my gaming and I really want to give Linux a proper go.

I've been looking around at different distros and, guys I'm a bit lost and choice paralysis is kicking in. Someone should make a distro picker (I'd do it myself but I don't know nearly enough about why you'd choose which ones).

So far I've been eyeing, in order of discovery:

1. Bazzite. Seems an obvious choice because gaming but I heard a lot of chatter about it being pretty locked down and as a dev I feel like that would bother me. I don't want to have to run everything via the command line but I also don't want to be told "you can't do that" by my OS. I get that enough on macOS...

2. Pop_OS!. I've heard a lot of good things but one of the concerns I had was that since it's based on Ubuntu it'll always be a bit behind things and I have a nasty habit of wanting to try the latest things before it's smart to do so. N-th level stability is great but, again, not at the cost of not being able to do things.

3. CachyOS. Aside from it being Arch-based—which I believe means tends to be closer to updated?—this is just one I've heard mentioned by people who are more knowledgeable. That's genuinely as far as that goes.

4. Nobara. Just came across this one. I've heard a lot of good things about Fedora in general and it sounds like this one is gaming-focused but not in a way that will stop me from getting into trouble if I so choose. Is this the right one for me?

I'll be running it on an AMD 5900X + AMD 9070XT system so my understanding is that, in terms of hardware, I'm going to be pretty good. I already bought a new NVME to use as my boot drive for Linux (the Windows one is going on the shelf until I feel comfortable saying it's dead to me).

I did mention macOS and when I'm not gaming that does tend to be where I spend most of my time but I don't have any particular need or desire for the distro I choose to be Mac-like. I've lived quite happily on all sorts of systems so as long as it doesn't look like dev designed software I'll probably be pretty happy.

One thing I did see what originally I had thought about keeping my games drive as an NTFS drive but it sounds like that's a very bad idea and I should just deal with moving things off, formatting, putting them back. I've got more than enough space on my NAS to handle it.

In case it matters, I'm not concerned about multiplayer games at this time. I assume that if that starts to become a thing again (like if BF6 takes off in my friend group) I'll just dual-boot. So all single-player games. The next game will be the latest Assassin's Creed and from what I've seen that runs fine.

So what do y'all think? Nobara? CachyOS? Something else I've never heard of?

I have struggled to run those, can anyone give a link with a video on which button press and what version of wine/proton to use. I have managed to run .exe and even play - but It never get's installed. Thank you, I am sorry to bother.
