I’m caught in two minds, build a rig or wait for the steam machine release. I’m wanting a gaming rig for the living room, 65” 4k tv, atmos surround system.

Me and my partner both pc game, our pcs are in the same room. But more often than not we want to lounge on the sofa and game. Originally I thought about hdmi connectivity to my pc to the tv. But then she wouldn’t be able to play it if I’m playing it upstairs, or vice versa. So a dedicated machine makes sense. We both have large steam libraries.

And so the steam machine really does fit my use case. It’s claiming it’ll play 60fps 4k on most games which is sufficient, but I am skeptical it will achieve this. But tbf most games we play aren’t AAA anyway.

What would you do? I suppose it’s hard to say without the price tag and release date. Presumably building would be more expensive, but likely better performance.

Whenever I try to listen to my songs on Independence FM, after a few seconds it skips to a new song. How do I fix this? Installing older versions of GE-Proton either doesnt fix it at all or breaks independence fm directly

Where Winds Meet is a new free to play game on Steam that's doing some big numbers right now, and thankfully it seems to work great on Linux with Proton.

Hi, I need help with a problem. I have a Radeon RX 6900 XT and I’m using Fedora Linux. I think that since kernel 6.7, changes were made to DPM for RDNA2 cards, and that’s why I lose performance on kernels above 6.6 — my VRAM speed gets locked at 96 MHz. The issue doesn’t appear immediately after boot; it usually happens after some time of using the system or gaming.

When I’m using kernel 6.6, there’s no such issue. When I first installed Linux, someone told me to use kernel 6.6 so the problem wouldn’t appear, and they were right. But kernel 6.6 is old now, I don’t want to use it anymore, and I need help to fix this.

I'm running on CachyOS with my 9070xt, and I seem to not eh able to run FSR4 I believe?

So far MangoHud doesn't seem to recognise it, not do the settings for FSR3 change (which is quite common), so my question is if anyone else has gotten FSR4 running for the Finals?

I am using 'Proton upgrade FSR4', unsure what else I could use really.

Hey sub I have been testing Linux gaming and I have encoutered a few weird problems. While some games like peak or deep rock galactic that run on proton get a slight performance improve when running on Linux vs Windows. Games like Deadlock and CS2 get a major frame dorp off (60fps on windows vs 20 on Linux) . This is weird as the latter are native to linux and the others are running with proton.
Does anyone know the possible reason for this?
For reference I am using a laptop with the following specs:
Distro: Nobara
GPU: Nvidia MX450
CPU: Intel I7 not really sure of the model but 2021 generation I think
RAM: 16GB

In a couple of months or sooner, when I get out of my parents' house and move out, I'm gonna have my own space. What's the best TV for gaming? Any recommendations? I wanna get a nice TV for gaming. I'm looking for a display that supports 4K resolution and can handle gaming, similar to Dolby Atmos gaming, or one that has Dolby Atmos and can run at 60Hz or even 120Hz. I kind of like OLED

I have an Xbox Series X and plan to purchase a PS5 Pro, so I'm seeking feedback or any recommendations.

The budget is around $800-2,000

I have cachyOS installed on ssd1, windows on ssd2, separate drives. This morning I was using cachyOS without issue, shut down, no problem.

Turned on my pc again just now and it went straight into windows. Weird. Reboot, straight into windows again. No systemd boot screen, nothing.

Boot into UEFI -> boot options, both ssds show windows boot manager.

Live usb, mount my linux ssd, open root partition, all my files are there, but boot folder is empty, no entries.

I'm kind of lost what to do here, any ideas what's happened?

I'm using Nobara HTPC so I primarily game in gaming mode.
I've only used it for a couple of months and although it works fine most of the time, I noticed that there are times when the system/game crashes when I open the Quick Menu.
It doesn't happen often but it happens enough for me to observe that it happens when opening the Quick menu

When the system crashes, the display goes blank and after some time it goes back to home screen as if it just booted. Sometimes it also messes up the focus or perhaps the system UI hangs because although the game runs fine, I can't close the Quick Menu anymore so I can't go back to the game and I can't even go back to the home screen.

This is annoying when it happens but it's not really a big deal, just enough for me to be anxious whenever I need to open the Quick Menu so I usually save first 😄
Just curious if other people encounter the same and perhaps there's a solution or workaround.

Recently installed Arch Linux, and when I open games they use the resolution of my second monitor instead of my primary one. I have a 4K monitor and a 1440p monitor. When opening Minecraft and setting it to fullscreen mode, it uses 3840×2160 instead of 1440p. Is there any fix for this? I am using KDE Plasma as my desktop environment.

I just saw on Steam that ARC Riders is the 12th most played game on Steam Deck this week, but when I go through the notes they says the game has anticheat and have not passed the compatibility verification. So my question is... Does somebody knows if we can play these on Linux?
