Yet another Crimson Desert crash (1.05)
Crimson Desert crashes again after today's update
Proton CachyOs 11 fixed issues with flickering shadows, but the game crashes after 2 minutes of running around the city.
I tried proton hotfix, experimental, ge. Did anyone manage to get running?
My specs
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- GPU: Powercolor Hellhound 9070 XT
- RAM: 6000MT/s 2x16GB CL30
- OS: Nobara Linux 43 (Kernel 7.0.1-200.nobara)
- Mesa Drivers: 26.0.5-1
EDIT: Running fine on Mesa Git, with RADV_DEBUG=nohiz in the launch options and on Proton CachyOS 11

Finally ditching Windows 11 I'm stuck between two distros
So, I was struggling to sleep before work and I turned on my PC only to notice windows was feeling off... It was slower than usual, everything was kinda laggy, I backed up some of my important files and before I started to do a fresh install I remembered I had a steam deck.
I have some limited experience with Linux based on the desktop side of the steam deck and liked what I was using.
I would have jumped the gun and installed Linux however... Somehow I didn't have a thumb drive anywhere in the house.
I'm picking one up after work today so I have that covered but now I'm stuck.
Do I pick between Bazzite or CachyOS?

Anyone else have this lighting bug in Genshin?
Only happens under water and sometimes far in the horizon. The intensity is blinding sometimes. Turning bloom off in setting alleviates it but doing so makes the game look bleak imo so I'd prefer not to do that. Is this a known issue? I haven't seen any discussion about this. Is there a fix?
Running on CachyOS with GE-proton 10-34.

A game about playing a game. In an arcade. Like it’s 1986.
Turn back the clocks and revisit the golden age of arcade gaming as you stick around after closing time to play the perfect run of the hottest new game of 86. MUTEIGHT.
Inspired by the spirit of games like Ninja Princess, Gauntlet, Commando, and Alien Syndrome, MUTEIGHT is about the feeling of gathering around a cabinet, learning the patterns, surviving one screen further, and chasing the score that puts your name above everyone else's.
There are no checkpoints here. You have five lives per level to escape the facility. If they run out, your progress is terminated and you start from the beginning.
A true arcade game is a battle for status. MUTEIGHT features full Steam Leaderboard integration. Every bullet dodged and every boss defeated counts toward your total. Don’t just escape - dominate the global rankings and prove you are the ultimate survivor of the facility.
Play the demo now on Steam if you think this looks cool!

Switching from GNOME to KDE, would it be worth it?
So I got this setup:
Acer Nitro AN515-55
Intel® Core™ i5-10300H
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
16GB RAM
I'm running Fedora Workstation version 44 right now and I enjoy it, but I was dumb and didn't check more detailed information regarding GNOME and apparently it can have some overhead compared to KDE due to heavier resource use. And according to someone KDE is the gold standard. I have usually used KDE but this time I wanted to try GNOME since my experience with it has been limited. I wonder if reinstalling Fedora KDE version would be worth it given my hardware isn't the best. I have PC with Ryzen 7 and RTX 4060 but it has RAM problems so I need to rely on this laptop for now.
Gaming hasn't been problematic given I mostly play older titles but would KDE benefit me in games such as Cyberpunk? Or is GNOME fine as it is?

Best distro arch based
Basically I am linux noob. I installed bazzite but I really need lg tv companion which is lg tv buddy app for arch in github. I cant edit terminal commands so I normally copy paste commands. The tv buddy app uses sudo so wont work on immutable or I cant get it to work. I couldnot convert it to work on bazzite. Cachyos handheld mode is not recommended for desktop. Basically, I need the experience of bazzite but based on arch and mutable so I can run arch sudo commands. Many things might not have made sense to linux pros but I hope you understood what I meant. Thanks for any help.

VM gaming test-drive.
Ok so I'm about ready to give the penguin a whirl, and I've been thinking of trying a few different distros out before I commit.
I've been considering Nobara, CachyOS or Bazzite (if you've got other suggestions I'd be interested), and was wondering if I could just use a VM rather than dual booting to try them out.
I'm aware that I'll lose performance this way, but just as a quick way to distrohop and check that my software works as expected, would this be a good way to gauge game compatibility, or will the VM be unable to utilise my GPU so I can test games this way?

TIL that 25% od my Ram was dedicated as VRAM to my integrated GPU as default.
Took me several hours and too many chatgpt prompts to figure out why does my laptop only see 6gb of ram instead of 8gb, despite both 4gb sticks being perfectly fine. Turns out, as per title, that my lappy was dedicating 2gb by default instead of taking as needed.
What I'm not sure about is if it's fedora's doing or laptop in general, since the setting had to be changed from BIOS . I'm not discarding fedora as culprit because this wasn't an issue back when I was using windows.
I'm still relatively new to Linux, only really changed because f*ck Microsoft, but I'm damn proud of myself for figuring this out! :D
Now I I can actually play my MMO again <3

Will I be able to properly play Forza Horizon 6 (Steam) on Linux? Which distro should I use?
I’m seriously thinking of switching to Linux because I’m starting to hate using Windows. The only thing holding me back right now is gaming. I mainly want to play Forza Horizon (planning to get FH6 on Steam when it comes out), and I’m not sure how well it’ll run on Linux, especially with things like Proton and compatibility. I’m completely new to Linux gaming, so I’d really appreciate some guidance: Will Forza Horizon games run properly on Linux (performance, online, etc.)? Which distro is best for gaming right now? Is it worth switching, or should I just stick to Windows for now? Would love to hear from people who’ve actually tried gaming on Linux.

can somebody make a gui program to open a downloaded workshop mod's folder?
can somebody make a gui program to open a downloaded workshop mod's folder? this would help people who want to mod a mod without having to look at their workshop folder because the folders use the game id and then mod id and it is a pain having to find a specific mod

CachyOS/Fedora/Arch - Helldivers 2
Hi all — anyone here running Pascal GPUs (GTX 1080) got Helldivers 2 stable on Linux?
Setup:
- GPU: GTX 1080
- Driver: nvidia-dkms (around 580.xx)
- Distros tested:
- CachyOS → Proton-CachyOS
- Arch → GE-Proton 27
- Fedora 43 → GE-Proton 27
- Display: 4K TV @ 60Hz (HDMI 2.0), also tested at 1080p
- Wayland + X11 → same behaviour
Issue:
Game launches fine, solid FPS on the ship, menus all good.
On mission:
- If the area is quiet → lasts a couple of minutes
- If there are explosions / stratagems → crashes almost instantly
When it crashes:
- System hangs for ~5 minutes
- GPU fans spin down completely
- Then system recovers
Lowering graphics settings makes no difference.
Notes:
- Same behaviour across all 3 distros
- Other games run perfectly (ESO, Skyrim, EVE, No Man’s Sky, Elite Dangerous)
- Feels GPU/driver-related rather than Proton
Anyone seen this or got Pascal working reliably with this game?

Bazzite Linux for Gaming, AI, and Coding: A Year in Review
RE2 Remake broken lights
Any way of fixing these? I'm on cachyos, using Mesa-git 26.2 with cachyos proton and a 9070xt, this screenshot was with cachyos proton 10 but I tried updating to 11 and still had the same rendering error. I tried GE Proton 10-34 with the same result and also proton 10 for arm on my retroid pocket 6 with vkd3d 3.0b, so I think it might be a vkd3d issue? but I'm not 100% sure.

Has anyone found a way to make RT/path tracing work on PRAGMATA on Nvidia?
The game crashes for me if I use the wine detection enabled false thing. I saw somebody in Protondb saying that Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge solves it on the latest nvidia driver, but it still crashes on the initial loading screen for me. I'm on EndeavourOS with Nvidia driver 595.71.05 and a 4070Ti Super. I did manage to play Resident Evil Requiem with Path Tracing but this one just refuses to work.
If anyone knows a workaround, I'm all ears! Thanks

Wine 11.8 - Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
Graphical ghosting error on Stray Bazzite and Kubuntu
Anyone else do Linux gaming updates in two steps now?
I’ve started doing the base system first, rebooting, then Steam/Flatpaks/Proton stuff only after I know the machine still boots clean. Not every update, but definitely for bigger kernel or Mesa jumps. Curious how many of you have an actual routine now versus just running the whole batch and dealing with it later.
