Help me
Hello, I'm looking for a good OS (not Windows), preferably free. I've tried Archcraft, Cachy OS, Garuda, BlendOS, NebiOS, Nobara, Windows 10/11, and Endvours. I'm looking for a distribution for 4-6 hours of revision for my STI2D (SIN option) technical baccalaureate, 10-12 hours of gaming, 6-8 hours of development (in Rust, Java, and other languages), and 4-6 hours of reading. I'd like your opinion on Garuda with apx and containers, using Arch for development. My desktop environment will be a fusion of Gnome and Celestial Shell, and in 1-2 years, I'll have my own desktop environment in Rust.

Steam download speed
I'm using an MT7922 and my download speeds are normal with Firefox and apt etc. but with Steam I'm getting eight times slower speed than I should. steam -tcp doesn't work. I also tried with a different adapter, but the problem is with Steam. I tried the Ankara, Istanbul, and Frankfurt servers one by one. I tried all three versions: the one I downloaded from the web site, the one from Flatpak, and the one from the distros repositories; the result was the same.

How well is gaming on Linux in 2026?
Hi, I've been using W11 for a while now and I'm thinking of switching to Linux for a variety of reasons.
Problem is, I'm mostly a gamer, and I've heard not so good things about native game support on Linux, and how it's still growing but performance and compatibility are still major challenges.
My question is, would it still be worth it to switch to Linux? Or wait it out until it's a bit more polished? Or maybe settle in-between by making a list of games I'm interested in playing, and seeing if they're compatible on certain Linux versions?

Where does OS go? Nvme or SATA?

Experiencing micro stutters in Steam games
Hey there,
A couple of weeks ago I got an old computer from my GF because she upgraded to something newer. I never really owned a desktop PC before. I worked on MacBooks for over 12 years because I did a lot of music production / audio engineering. I bought a Windows 11 laptop somewhere around October last year, not realizing that Windows 11 was so incredibly **** nowadays. So I got interested in Linux. I use the old computer from my GF now as a fun project computer iwth OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and for my daily personal use, like email and stuff like that, so I can keep that off my Windows machine.
When I got this machine the specs where as following:
16GB 2133mhz DDR4
GTX 1060
i5-6600k
Like I said, I have no clue what I'm doing, but I decided to upgrade it to something better. Its a project computer so why not. I got online and bought a second hand GPU and some faster RAM. The setup now is as following:
16GB 3200mhz DDR4
RX 6600 XT
i5-6600k
This setup works pretty fine, I tested some games and it runs pretty good overall. I already spend some time playing games from my Steam library. Although I do encounter microstutters in almost all of the games. It is playable though, not so annoying or bad that I want to turn the game off, but I was wondering what the problem could be and how I can fix it. My guess is that the CPU is just too old and can't keep up with the rest of the newer installed hardware, creating a bottleneck. I am looking for a motherboard with and AMD AM4 socket, so I can put in a 5600x later down the line. But am I correct with my assumption, or is there some other setting that I'm not aware of? I already tried playing around with different settings in games. I can get it to a sweet spot most of the time, but the tiny stutters are there.

[Help] VRAM Clock stuck at minimum (0.192GHz) on Arch + Niri (AMD GPU)
The Issue: I'm experiencing an issue where my GPU's VRAM Clock gets stuck at the minimum frequency (0.192 GHz) when launching games. I previously added a kernel parameter to GRUB to disable a power management feature (likely related to ASPM), which helped initially. However, I noticed that if the system stays idle for a while and I then launch a game, the VRAM clock refuses to hit its maximum frequency unless I restart the session (Logout/Login). Current Setup: OS: Arch Linux Compositor: Niri (Wayland) GPU: AMD [Insert your GPU model here] Tool: Using LACT for GPU management. What I've tried: Modifying GRUB with pcie_aspm=off (or similar). Using LACT to set performance profiles, but the VRAM frequency doesn't "wake up" properly after long idle periods without a session restart. Questions: Is there a specific driver or firmware missing that handles the wake-up transition for VRAM? Is this a known issue with Niri or Wayland compositors not sending the correct activity signals to the GPU? I want to avoid keeping the VRAM at max clock constantly due to heat concerns. Is there a way to ensure it ramps up reliably when needed?

Is far cry 5 working on linux without tinkering, despite having multiple drm bullshits?
So i have seen nice sale on far cry, never played 5, so I thought I will give it a go. But then I have seen there are numerous DRM listed on Steam page. It should run on SteamDeck, it has yellow "playable" status.
But if I have to fight with some stupid drm/anticheats, I would rather play it "the good old way" without these, if you know what I mean...
