After trying several distro's in combination with my games, I ended up with below distro.

Suddenly all my games are running out of the box ?!

I am able to play Stardew Valley at least, but my system should be able to play Lies of P and Civilization VI. I was a windows 11 user that just changed over and I'm a newbie with linux. I would love some suggestions how I can play them again! I can't figure out if I'm missing something. Here's info about pc.

My system:

Kernel: 6.14.0-35-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0

Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.8 Distro: Linux Mint 22.2 Zara

base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

Machine:

Type: Laptop System: LENOVO product: 82JW v: Legion 5 15ACH6

CPU:

Info: 8-core model: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics bits: 64

Graphics:

Device-1: NVIDIA GA107BM [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile] vendor: Lenovo

driver: nvidia v: 580.95.05 arch: Ampere bus-ID: 01:00.0

Device-2: AMD Cezanne [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Mobile Series]

vendor: Lenovo driver: amdgpu v: kernel arch: GCN-5 bus-ID: 05:00.0

What I have done so far-

Secure boot is off, using proton in steam forced compatibility, tried both v570 and 580 driver, Nvidia is on performance mode. Games are on external SSD that was formatted for ext4

I have done some research on Bazzite and CatchyOS, but I don’t know if switching is really worth it because I have a RTX 3060TI. Is there someone here that is using a nvidia going with these distros of Linux? Is it really worth switching and is there any drawbacks cuz of which you’ve regretted switching in the first place? And also, is using a VM a good idea?

I'm trying to install sober. For some reason, it asks me to upload an apk of roblox. Where can I get one? I've been looking for files but they either come with a .apkm or .xapk

Hey, i don't know if anyone had this error, i looked up and havent found any solution, even sending it to steam support itself.
Basically after some time playing any online match i get an error that's supposably about connection.
In the CS2 console i have "prediction time is ahead sim time" and in-game i get some kind of "lost connection to host" or anything like that. Have anyone solved this? i went back to windows to see if it was something with the OS and i dont have this error anymore (just once when my internet died). Is there any config or something that might help?

When the plans of recycling an old HP 250 G5 with a 1050 Ti eGPU fell short, I was lucky to move on quickly and to this absolute abomination that somehow works. This is supposed to be a cheapy HTPC build, made with parts i had more or less lying around, that can also do a bit of gaming, entirely on Linux.

Starting life as a broken Yamaha RX-V25000 receiver, I gutted it to make way for a motherboard tray, which was superglued on given my incompetence and lack of a welder. I wanted to watercool it initially via a NR200P CM 280 i had lying around, but there was no decent way to mount it anywhere, so i stuck with a stock cooler, blowing cold air from the top via a Fractal GP-18 fan i had lying around in my old Torrent case. I also sold my PS4 and was left with the stock 500GB HDD that i decided to use for laffs. I picked up a used RX480 in place of the 4GB 1050Ti i had as i knew Linux would run better with it anyway.

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650 w/ stock Wraith Cooler - Asus Prime A520M-K AM4 mATX board - Kingston Fury 16GB-3200 Expo Ram, Sapphire RX480 8GB - Crucial P310 1TB SSD - Toshiba 500GB PS4 HDD - Fortron FlexGURU 500w PSU - Noctua NF-B9 connected via USB temporarily, Fractal GP-18 Fan

Currently, I'm using the LTS version of Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma, kernel being 6.12.48-1. Reason being I wanted something that is closer to Arch, but would in theory be like Debian with the stability, and Manjaro simply speaks to me unlike Fedora, Pop!_OS and others, but we'll ser how to situation develops. Temps-wise, playing Helldivers 2 at 1440P Medium-Low with game tweaks at 40-60FPS, the CPU never went beyond 60 C, and the GPU never beyond 80 C, but more testing is required.

Let me know what y'all think.

greetings redditors, I want to play minecraft so I have installed the official launcher using yay (I am on Cachyos), and when I put in my microsoft email and password, I get an error that says, "Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in. For more details, please see this link." Lunar client also does the exact same thing. I have already tried to clear my keyring cause I saw that in a different post but it didnt do anything. Any help would be really appreciated, thank you!

I am having trouble installing steam via the terminal and I can't get it to work. Up here is the error display I get when I try, and I get it even after inputting sudo apt install steam-libs-i386 to my command terminal. I've tried getting it straight from the steam website but then Medieval 2 doesn't work, and tried a snap version but then mods don't work.

I'm starting to use Linux and my first experiences with games haven't been very good. I was expecting better performance on Linux than on Windows, but the opposite is happening.

The games I've tested so far are: Hades, DMC5, DMC reboot, Warframe, DarkSouls remaster, Darksiders 3, Dead Cells, POE 1 and Terraria. all on Steam.

The only games that worked are Terraria, Dead Cells and Darksiders 3 but worse than on Windows.

my graphic card are Radeon RX 550 who run all this games on windows.

Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 4080 Super

Clans, a UE5 game, freezes every 2-3 mission runs. MW5 Mercs, a UE4 game, maybe froze once every 20? The real reason this hurts so much is the length of Clans missions compared to even most Mercs "story/DLC" missions. Any recommendations on possible fixes?

Hello everyone!

So like in the title I am looking for an headset with mic for you guess with Linux! I am currently running CachyOS.

So my headset that I was using the HyperX Alpha pro (5years old) paired with my old HyperX Cloud II audio control box/extension (like 7~8 years old) is at his end of life so I was looking for something new and I tried the Steelseries arctis nova 7 dragon edition ( cause they look cool) and after testing it with friends they all agreed it sound like way shittier (like I sound muddy(?)/muffle making me a little hard to understand) than my old one and that kinda piss me off, like way the mic I bought for like less than 100$cad sound that much better compare to a 220$cad headset, like I know headset mic are far from the best but common the HyperX Alpha pro that I bought in 2020 and that was release in 2017 sound better is weird.

So now I am wondering just returning it back and hesitating on re-buying the Cloud II cause the Control Box is also at his end and before you go just buy a separate headset/IEM and Microphone for around the same price or something, my biggest grip with desk/table microphone (IDK the exact name sorry) is that it will always be in my field of view or be on my way if I want to put stuff around on my desk which would be annoying to me. Also my Jack plug/connector(again I don't know) front and back doesn't to be working well or at all, which is why I am looking for an USB-A. So the only thing working for it for my Arctis nova 7 is that the sound, sound great and it wireless and it really well isolated (which as I am writing this sound like it pretty got after all...) but still for a 220$ was it worth it? maybe honestly I will dry this stuff for the next 5 years if I can but I still want something that doesn't sound a*s to my friends.

honestly I could take a separate microphone but NOT with a headset that cost me 220$ unless you guys make the best sales pitch ever to me and it doesn't cost a limp too.

Edit as I am writing this stuff down I tried my close to 10 years old HyperX surround 7.1 USB-A audio control box and my friend said that while I sound a little quieter/lower the muffle/muddy sound was gone and also the audio sound is way higher too making everything sound kinda more clear?( I kinda like it that way too) so maybe I should go for an Audio Control Box? but that defeat the whole wireless deal with the Nova 7 like why would I still keep it then? just buy another Wired Cloud II for more than half the price? honestly I said my Audio Box is dying but it more like they're are like 10 years old they could honestly(maybe?) die at any moments and the clip on it is also broken not that used it but just show that it nearing it end.

So what do you guys would recommend? honestly maybe that not place to ask this for? but since I will be using it mainly to game and chat with friends on discord I feel like that good place to ask.

Trying to make the switch from Windows to Linux with my games, for the most part it's been OK and most problems I've been able to figure out myself, but one thing I just cannot get to work is playing games windowed rather than fullscreen. I want this because I have a lot of games where I have a several pages/guides open on other screens that i need to reference and click on often. Windowed games will sometimes seem to work when first booted up, but as soon as I focus on something else or try to resize the window it drops to less than 1 FPS, and then never recovers. I've tried this with multiple games across multiple platforms, including Steam and Heroic launcher. Factorio and Wizard101 were the 2 main games I tested various configurations on.

Here's what i've tried:
- Installing gamescope and configuring Heroic launcher to use it for Wizard101 (game just straight up doesn't boot if I try to use gamescope)
- Adjusting various settings in the config files to make hyprland ignore certain redrawing/rendering rules when adjusting windows
- Making sure all packages are up to date of course

I have one friend who seems to think that it's a CachyOS issue because of how it de-prioritizes background tasks, while Claude (my main AI) seems to think that it's probably a hyprland or wayland issue and that I should use a different compositor.

My system specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7700X
GPU: AMD Radeon 9070XT
RAM: 64 GB DDR5
SSD: Samsung Pro 990 2TB

Would abandoning the tediousness that is hyprland and switching to KDE/Plasma even fix the issue? Is it the modified kernel and OS (CatchyOS) that's the issue? Did I dive too deep into linux for my first attempt in linux gaming? Should I run back into the arms of my ex, Ubuntu 22.04? HELP

Any insights or suggestions would be welcome. More specific details available upon request.
