I want to preface this by saying that I was really looking forward to moving away from Windows and learning Linux and hopefully running it as my daily driver. However, I unfortunately can't really see myself doing that. For the past week or so, I have been tinkering and having to fight against my PC for various things. For context, I am using KDE Plasma on the non LTS kernel of cachyOS. I update daily with cachy update. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 3080, and 32gb 6000mhz ram.

One of the issues is for whatever reason, when I turn on variable refresh rate to "automatic" on my main monitor (MSI 321URX), whenever I would take a screenshot with Spectacle it would make my entire screen go black for about 3 seconds. The same thing would happen whenever I would be watching a youtube video in Fullscreen and upon exiting the Fullscreen video my monitor would go black for 3s. This didn't seem to happen with VRR turned off.

Another issue was when using Brave browser, if I tried rebooting the PC without fully closing Brave beforehand, upon starting Brave up I would always get a warning about Brave crashing unexpectedly. On top of that, it would also just straight up crash randomly for no apparent reason. I also would not be able to autofill my passwords from Bitwarden for whatever reason.

A really weird issue I had was with some obscure font that I was using on one of my Discord servers for the channel names. It took like two days to figure this out as I was testing this with other cachyOS users and some of them were seeing this font correctly, while others were not, it had turned out I was missing some "gnu-free-fonts' package that wasn't installed by default on cachyOS for me.

Before cachyOS, I tried out Linux Mint on my living room pc(i7 6700k, 32gb 3200mhz, gtx 960) and Zorin on my main desktop, and those both had their own set of issues, but as to not make this post longer than it has to, I'll just tldr for these two and basically say that for Linux Mint, my BT keyboard didn't work no matter what, but worked flawlessly on cachyOS. As for Linux Mint, I tried running resident evil 4 (2005) and couldn't get it to run until I forced proton to use openGL, which I found strange as the game has a platinum rating on protondb and my drivers were all up to date. For Zorin, it wouldn't switch the login screen to my main monitor even tho I had my monitor set as main, resulting in me having to login on my vertical monitor with the image still in horizontal mode. No matter what I tried this would still happen.

All in all, I had to spent about 20 hours over this past week just constantly tinkering with my OS just to make things work the way I wanted. I really wanted Linux to work for me, but it is really exhausting to have to do all this. Yes I know Windows has it's own bugs and issues, but for the most part, I never had to deal with so many bugs and issues like this in a row just to use my PC. And I can't imagine how much more I'd have to keep fixing going forward. I'm at my wits end... I think the best I can do is just continue running Linux Mint on my living room PC as I have been, and then run Windows on my main desktop.

Hello me fellow linux nerds this is mostly for the admins because I could not find anything in the rules saying no, but Id also not like to break them.

I am a first time indie developer making a very old-fashioned terminal based Ascii RPG
the game is meant to be open source and will always remain that way.

It is meant to only run on linux thus why im here and not in an indie dev reddit.
my question is am I allowed to share that game here to get any play testers and or people who have advice for input on making the game smoother.
with that said if this is not allowed I apologize and I only ask that maybe you guys could push me towards the right reddit groups because this game is designed for the niche of linux users and ASCii game enjoyers.

best, your fellow nerd

Hello, I recently switched from Kubuntu to openSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE), because Kubuntu crashed too often and I really like KDE Plasma. However, I seem to have problems with my graphics driver, as I had it before on Kubuntu, where I only had to change it in the settings and everything went smoothly. On openSUSE though, I somehow cant find an option for that in the settings and everything I found on the internet did not help me aswell.

in some specific games sober just doesn't work, I don't know what kind of bug happens, it just crashes my entire pc, even though it apparently doesn't even use many resources, I use AMD and have never had any problems with vulkan, it must be about 10 to 15% of games that behave this way for some reason, does anyone know any solution or alternative?

I have a i3 10th gen with uhd graphics. It CANNOT game. The least it can run is minecraft at 60 fps. By using mods like sodium i run it at 120 fps. But now I am bored of normal minecraft. So I tried modpacks but they run at 30-40 fps with a lot of fps drops. Should I switch to Linux for better fps? I am very new to this I don't know what and where to download. Please help.

i used the flatpak steam version before and thought the reason it wasn't working was bc of flatpak so i switched to the rpm version of steam and im still going through the same problem. yes i switched through experimental and hotfix and nothing changed. whenever i go click on find a lobby i just get stuck in a endless loading loop and theres no way for me to check if anything is happening. i even had left it loading for a good hour and nothing happened.

idk what flairs to add so dont worry about it if its the wrong flair.

im not too sure if i messed something up bc i been having some internet problem internally with the operating system where sometimes it would randomly disconnect me and reprompt the password for it. im using Fedora KDE Plasma version.

if needed more detail on the operating system lmk.

I have a game (Elite) + two utility programs (Voice Attack & another app) that needs to be in the same process context: Voice attack needs to be able to inject Windows key and game controller event messages to Elite's process. I believe that can only be done if they're both being managed by the same wineserver process.

Just running them is the easy part like WINEPREFIX="/path/2/elites/pfx" protonOrwineExec /path/2/VoiceAttack but I also need to carry over unique user.reg registry entries.

One idea I had with Voice Attack is to install it, delete the prefix Steam made for it, sym link VA's prefix path to Elites, and then force it to reinstall VA and hopefully not murder the things that Elite needs to run.

Otherwise I am not looking for an alternative to VA. I made my own version of VA a few years ago using a ASR/STT model but I am getting tired of maintaining it and I prefer the voice packs HCS makes for VA better.

I have been on the fence about going Linux for over a year, but now I want to switch. I understand Proton helps compatibility with a lot of Steam games, but for me its non steam games that I worry about.

So which distro would be good for a tech literate beginner. I don't mind doing research and stuff and have a high end, but very old, pc.

Also how compatible are games like League of Legends and Escape from Tarkov?

so far I can’t even get past the EULA, I cannot click on accept.

I never had this trouble on Windows 10 on the same rig.

Do I need to share specs?

So, I’ve switch over to using a dual-boot system that features both bazzite and cachyOS. Prior to this, the steam deck is the only Linux device I’ve used, for less than 25 hours total. All other pc’s I’ve used have ranged from windows xp to windows 10. I’ve had the system running for just over a month. The only other computer I’ve allowed myself to use is my previous laptop, and only to move files/passwords over as needed. I tried to do any work/gaming exclusively on the Linux machine. Here are some thoughts and comments: roast my opinion if needed 😂

While both OS require a time sink to learn, most people I know received a good portion of that time sink into windows before they consciously knew they were doing so, just by daily life exposure to computers thru school, work, family pcs. Because of that, the initial experience of Linux can feel very uncomfortable. But if you can be patient, that passes pretty quick if you just dig in and use resources avalible thru YouTube, FAQ’s and a decent understanding of how to use a search engine online. It’s not rocket science, it just takes some exposure.

Once you start to try out some things, install something using terminal. Figure out your rgb or fan control. Work all the way thru the problem, backup frequently, and accept that you may need to use the backup once or twice. Just as you would have with windows when first learning.

I think that at the end of the month, seeing both some minor, but consistent fps improvements in games, load times seeming faster because the os is doing less when gaming. I am by no means a power user, more so just patient enough to figure it out when something doesn’t work. I’ve had to walk away frustrated a couple times thruout the month. But I would recommend trying it. The lack of bloatware and unwanted updates is great.

Best comparison in my mind is this: an American growing up learning the imperial system. It is inherently more complicated, but we already know it. Metric feels different at first, but once you put in a pretty basic amount of learning, the metric system just makes more sense. Same thing with Linux.

Give it a try, or don’t, but that’s where I’ve landed on the issue!

So I have this weird issue with games after installing Linux. Games that have any 3D rendering have massive stuttering and performance issues. I have the most up to date drivers for my devices and running Linux mint. See image for system specs.

I found a workaround for the weird artifacts glitches and shapes appearing in some games on the NVIDIA 595 drivers. This also resulted in highly stable performance for me in The Last of Us Part II.

• Go to the game settings and raise the Texture quality to the maximum to fill up your VRAM completely
• The game will lag heavily (dropping to around 2 FPS) or seem like it's freezing
• Exit the settings menu and return to the actual gameplay screen
• Open the settings again and reduce the Texture quality back to a suitable level for your VRAM

After doing this, the lag should disappear, your FPS will stabilize nicely, and most importantly the graphical glitches will completely vanish

I am not sure if this applies only to The Last of Us Part II. If anyone is experiencing the same issue in other games, give this a try.
