I was curious how it is out of the box for gaming and performance.

Since it is Arch based seems good for new hardware.

Running the Steam version. The launcher comes up and tries to start the game, I get a black screen, and then it disappears. Steam says the game is still running. I tried going back to Anno 1800 (which I've successfully run before) but it's now doing the same thing. Anyone got any ideas? AMD Ryzen 5 9600X/AMD 7600 GPU/32 GB RAM.

Hello fellow Linux gamers!

Almost a year ago, my old Windows PC broke. In the meantime, I'm using my MBP, GeForce Now, PS5, or Steam Deck for gaming. Unfortunately, I often want to play little indie titles that are only available on Windows, so I cannot run them on my platform, or they are not optimized to run on the Steam Deck, for example.

As my gaming pile of shame grows larger, it's time to tackle it by building a new PC.

Now, due to my work, I've to boot up Windows in a VM from time to time, and, to be honest, it doesn't feel like the operating system wants to support me in doing my tasks. So, with my next build, I try to start with Linux gaming.

In the past, I was an Intel/NVIDIA fan, but from what I've read, AMD is also improving and offering a better price-to-value ratio.

With my increasing effort to research, I become more and more confused about building a new PC for (mostly) Linux gaming, but I'd also like to have a dual-boot option, as I have some games that will not run on Linux with Proton.

So, is there any advice on which platform to settle on when it comes to pure gaming performance? The new PC will only be used for gaming; for everything else, I've my MBP as my workhorse.

Which operating system would be a good start? I manage a root server running linux and my day jobs involves a lot of terminal work as well, so I'm not afraid of digging down if that is required for something.

If you need a budget for some component advices, my hard limit will be 4.000 EUR (~4,500 USD).

Thank you!

As the title says. I am planning on upgrading my PC with a new CPU, motherboard, RAM and most importantly a new GPU as my RTX 2070 is admittedly getting old.

I am very much torn between the RX 9070 XT and the NVIDIA RTX 5070. In terms of raw performance, especially on 1440p and 4K, rasterization, VRAM capacity (albeit inferior type) cache capacity and bandwidth, AMD seems to be the clear winner and there is not much difference between the two rivals. Also from what I’ve heard and seen, AMD seems to have better support on Linux? Since I run CachyOS, a Linux-Arch based distro and I’ve heard that here and there NVIDIA still has poor integration support.

What really makes me torn in-between the two here is NVIDIA’s DLSS4 and path-tracing which arguably does very well to output photo-realistic graphics and DLSS4 with their AI interpolation does miles better than FSR4.

So the question here really is, is it worth getting NVIDIA for the path-tracing and DLSS4 alone or I won’t really notice any difference if I go for the slightly cheaper AMD instead?

Hi all,

I've installed MO2 from github installer in proton prefix. when I run Skyrim, first I load into MO2 and then can use some tools or start SKSE.

Bodyslide is one of this tools and generaly works, but on preview the windows is black inside. I googled, I pestered several LLM for solution, i tried several proton versions (GE included) some env vars etc. Nothing helps. With many of this success stories there is the matter of running BS at all, not many of them expand whether preview works. If there is a known solution I was not able to find it. Please help. As I'm not sure if I understand all of this stuff, I would be most grateful for autharitative: "Use version X of software Y and run it like this"

It (BodySlide with preview) works when I run it in wine-10 but then I have problems with MO2, and I had to use a script and OverlayFS to simulate uvfs from MO2. I would like to know how to use in inside proton prefix and steam.

Problem is exactly what the title says. I have searched for some fixes but most of them are for ubuntu or other distros I don't really know well. And this is why I still haven't tried any fixes. I'm using manjaro kde and I'm a complete noob at linux so I don't know how to convert these fixes to my os.

For example I have found this fix but I don't know how to do this on my os:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If you have any tips I could try, pls tell!

I'm currently planning a PC build and I'm planning on using Linux with it. However I'm currently unable to use ethernet to connect my computer to the internet and I have to use Wifi. I really need this to work since it's waht I use for gaming. From what I've read it's not always certian if the Wifi in a motherboard will work with Linux. I'm not entirely sure but i think it has to do with what chipset it has?

Whatever the case I was wondering if there's any way to know what motherboards/Wifi chipsets work with Linux? I'd rather not buy a motherboard just to have it not work. I know there was the Linux Hardware website but it seems to have stopped workinbg or something, since I get a warning when I try to load it. Is there anywhere else I oculd check?

Also I know you can instead buy a seperate wifi dongle and connect it to the computer, and there are Linux compatible dongles. Is this a better idea than to look for a compatible motherboard?

Tried Ubuntu at 2016, and wine worked well running heavy game. After some update it couldn't run even simple programs the same year. Tried it after some years and it still didn't work in Ubuntu, Mint, Arch and Manjaro. Now it finally works with simple programs and only in installing mod, but can't run that heavy game anymore, and that is in Mint. And in game distro Bazzite it can actually run it, but only in installing mod, it can't directly run preinstalled program, and even when running it gives 0.32 FPS(didn't measure, just saying it is less than 1). How is that? Why can't it just work like back in almost ten years ago? Do someone have similar experience and have some explanation? Only thing that keeps me from switching from windows is lack of wine. Windows is fine for me(even 11), but I just want and love linux(especially mint one).

I have a laptop with a 2880x1800 display so I use KDE with scaling set at 160%. Steam looks great, games look great, everything scales correctly but here's the thing: the laptop only has an iGPU so there's no chance I'm playing any games at native resolution.
On Windows I used to set my games to 1920x1200 with great results. KDE, however, seems to try to (incorrectly) scale them back to native so all the UI elements and fonts start to look smudgy and blurry.

I tried the "Scaled by the system" option in System Settings and it fixes the problem in games but makes Steam look blurry instead.

So I'm looking for an option to either make Steam scale itself correctly or for games to ignore the global settings.

so im a complete beginner to linux, have very little experience with ubuntu and endeavouros before. my friend asked me to use arch so why not :P
everything was going alright until i tried playing CS2.
at first i had copied my CS2 files from windows itself, a few steam updates later i was trying to run it but it kept crashing my whole system. and eventually i got the error "VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST"

Here are my specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 7520u with radeon 610M IGPU
8gigs of ddr4 ram
Linux booting from an external SSD (in an enclosure) if thats relevant

YES, my laptop is horrendous, but on windows CS2 runs at 60fps with a lot of stuttering at lowest settings (on the fairly lighter maps). so id like to just give
it a try on linux as well.

Ready to give out any more details if you need it. Please let me know if i can fix this problem somehow, or CS2 is just unplayable on linux for me.
