About a month ago i was looking for a crosshair overlay and couldn't really find anything that suits my needs, so i created one that does. It had to be 1) uncomposited and 2) working in (almost) every game.

So i present to you: Krosshair, it's a vulkan layer so it should work with every dxvk/vkd3d/native vulkan game.

https://github.com/krob64/krosshair

It works the way Mangohud does. Set KROSSHAIR=1 and start your game. Changing the crosshair is possible with KROSSHAIR_IMG=/path/... and you can change the size your crosshair with KROSSHAIR_SCALE=1.0, though not recommended due to the usual scaling issues.

I'm building a spare parts PC and would like to try my hand at running Linux on it. Instead of doing my due diligence and searching the web for information I figured I'd come straight here.

This computer will be primarily used for light gaming by my wife and daughter. I'm running a 9700k and 5060. In windows, you have the option to set your power/performance modes. Does Linux have anything like this?

I'm looking into to moving from windows to Linux on my laptop to see if I can get used to it. What distro is easiest and best to use for general use and gaming. Ideally one that comes with drivers ready for gaming so I don't have to mess around for hours.

I have currently installed bazzite os as it is great for gaming but I am unable to install files from the internet as the system cboot is read only?🤷🏻‍♂️

That's pretty much it, 1: gaming (includes all drivers if possible)(intel and Nvidia) 2: general everyday use (be able to install applications easy)

Any help would be great thank you!

Hey guys, what's up!

Following the recent steam machine announcement I've been migrating from Windows to Linux (dual boot for now), Proton is amazing! It's been about a week daily driving Bazzite and I have very few problems with it.

Thing is, I like Zorin OS for a few reasons, and I would like to migrate to that distro. However When I did it The "Windows + P" shortcut for monitor swapping had but two options: Mirror and extend.

In Windows, I had the options to mirror, extend and also *display image in a single specific monitor of my setup*, which is for me a very important feature.

I noticed that Bazzite Also has this option and it works just fine.

My question is (as a linux newbie): This monitor management is specific to Bazzite? Or does it depend on something else? I´d love to run Zorin OS if that feature was possible there.

My current headset just died and I'm looking for a new Bluetooth headset. I looked around a bit myself and found the Logitech G535 headset on black, which seems pretty good and it was not too pricey. However I couldn't find anything about if it was compatible with Linux or not. Does anyone know if it works with Linux?

If it doesn't work, or if anyone has better suggestions for headsets, I'd love to know!

The issue is kind of confusing for me, like it works and doesn't.

My RX 7600 can be set to 162w(after enabling overclocking) But during games (CS2 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered), mangohud shows game reaches only upto 145w(which is max if AMD overclocking is not enabled).

If I open LACT and alt tab and set power to 145w and then to 162w again, then mangohud shows it reaches 162w but after a minute or so it returns back to 145w.

I even tried resetting all settings. Then increasing it to 162w again. But same. Stays for a while and then drops back to 145w.

Is it something with mangohud or lact or my system?

My system: CPU: Ryzen 5 7500f

GPU: RX 7600

RAM: 16gb DDR5 crucial pro 6400MT/s

Mobo: Gigabyte B650M K

SSD: Netac NVME 512+512GB

PSU: Corsair CX650

Hi there,

I wanted to know if there was a utility tool akin to process lasso for linux.
I have a 9950x3d, and as you might know, that CPU is basically one half for gaming workflows and the other half for general computing.
There is also the issue of cross CCD latency that is better than previously with the 7950x3d, but still not optimal.
So what I want to do is to exclusively use x3d cores for gaming, since that is pretty much the idea of the x3d tech.
I know that you can disable the classic computing CCD in BIOS settings, but I find that a bit sad to just transform my 9950x3d into a 9800x3d.

Few days ago you recommended me LACT for GPU, and that was fantastic.
So please help me with that one.
I am open to questions if needed

Hey all ,

just a question i got Arc Raiders yesterday and i would say its running really good but like always there is a way how it even can run a bit better

im on Bazzite newest version , Nvidia RTX 4060 mobile and right now its running with arround 100-130 FPS on medium settings.

But i saw on Protondb a lot of people with game parameters but im honest i dont know what really helps and what not.

So maybe you can post your person tweaks / version of proton for this game :)

I’ve done this before. From everything I’ve read CachyOS sounds like a good way to go. But I’ve followed the trend before. After I got my feet wet with Ubuntu and wanted to branch out I switched to Manjaro when it was at its pinnacle. A lot of what I hear now about CachyOS is what I used to hear about Manjaro. Cutting edge, great gaming support even though that’s not the entire intention, arch based, and overall just a great daily driver.

I’m torn because I’m thinking of trying it, but I don’t want to follow the trend again. It feels like it’s always just a cycle with arch for me. Manjaro, EndeavourOS, now possibly CachyOS. What is tomorrow’s CachyOS? I currently run Bazzite because I don’t care about maintaining much of the system. My favorite flavor of Linux is Fedora so choosing bazzite was an easy pick for me (I know Nobara exists, I’ll get to that). However there are times I wish I was able to use DNF. Like for example librepods is a project I’d love to use since basically 60-70% of my waking hours includes AirPods in my ears, so giving my computer the same seamless capability as my phone has for sound would be awesome.

You’re probably saying, okay sounds like this guy just needs to use Nobara and to quit bitching about this half and half bullshit he wants. Well, I have my reservations of a 1 man project as my distro. I’m sure glorious eggroll does a lot of great work for it, I’m just not entirely sold on something that may fall out of support sooner than intended.

Anyways, this isn’t a “which OS should I choose post?” I just wanted to share my incoherent thoughts and let people judge me on them. But if anyone has experience with these distros I’m happy to discuss with you about how you feel about it.
