Arch, Xorg, lightdm, i3wm, xcompmgr

So basically a year ago after an update, my system started hanging for 1-3 seconds when switching between windows (which makes it incredibly annoying to use) and often after such hang, my 2nd monitor connected via HDMI would freeze and I would have to run some xrandr commands that rotate it then it became responsive again.

I was told to downgrade my NVIDIA drivers to those that I didn't have the issue on, but that caused them to stop working entirely on the latest kernel, so I was told to downgrade the kernel. Everything was fine after that point.

Now after a year I decided to finally update NVIDIA and the kernel, but the issue still persist. What am I supposed to do? I really need to use the latest kernel, but also keep my system usable.

ubisoft discord server has player support where you can post issues with specific games

one that got opened a while ago was to enable proton support for r6, ubisoft redid the discord server today and so it got reset

if you have discord and dont mind joining the ubisoft server and asking for support in the player support text channel for r6 that would be great :)

I’m curious to know if anyone’s try Nobara Linux and if so, what was it like?

So, there are a number of Android games out there that I would like to play, but I would prefer not to spend money on an Android device just so I could play those games.

I like the idea of having a gaming PC that can run both my Steam games and Android app games.

However, I've read that trying to run Android on other Linux distros is... tricky. My desktop PC is currently running Linux Mint 21.3 with the Xfce desktop environment.

I know that there are virtual machines like VirtualBox that can be used to emulate Android, but I've read that those programs use a lot of computing power in order to run the virtual machine. This isn't ideal because I would like to run Android on a Linux Mint laptop, and I think VirtualBox might use up too much of my laptop's limited computing power.

The program I've seen recommended the most for running Android on another Linux distro is "Waydroid". However, Waydroid is based on "Wayland". My Linux PC uses the "Xfce" desktop environment which currently doesn't have Wayland support. But, I did find this Manjaro forum post saying you can get Waydroid to work on Xfce. [How To] Install/Run Waydroid on Xfce (or other non-Wayland desktops) - Contributions / Tutorials - Manjaro Linux Forum I haven't looked through the post in detail yet.

Now, I have tried installing Waydroid in the distant past, but that attempt was on a different PC running EndeavourOS, and I was even more of a Linux Noob back then, so I had a very bad time trying to get it working and failed.

While I have more experience now, I'm still uncertain about how difficult this task might be.

Should I try installing Waydroid on Linux Mint with Xfce?

Do I need I switch to a different desktop environment that does have Wayland support in order to use Waydroid?

Would installing Waydroid be too complex for me and VirtualBox would be easier?

Am I a fool for even trying to play all my games on one machine and I should just pick the easiest option and buy a dedicated Android device for Android games?

I'm completely stumped on this one. The two links above discuss this artifacting on shadows however they're both on AMD cards and one solution doesn't do anything on my NVIDIA card. As far as I can tell it isn't a hardware issue as both games do not have this on Windows. The artifacts lessen slightly if I kill all available options for shadows but it doesn't go away fully.

​

Using Proton Experimental/GE9.*/Beta etc, they all show this. On EndeavourOS. 2070 SUPER, fully updated.

​

Is anyone able to help?

Gaijin Network (War Thunder) and Darkflow Software (CRSED: Cuisine Royale) have today released the online squad-based shooter Enlisted: Reinforced into Early Access on Steam.

Embracer Group continue to sell off more with the latest being Gearbox, which has been picked up by Take-Two Interactive in a $460 million deal.

Enlisted has been just released on Steam and it has a native Linux version, but Steam version costs $20 while it's still free to download the game from the official website.

PUNKCAKE Délicieux are a game dev duo that release small fun games around once a month, and they've just now given all of their available titles the Linux (and macOS) treatment.

I've a Dell laptop g15 5511 with core i7 11800h with rtx 3060 card. Everytime i play CS 2 regardless of how high graphics are or how low they are the fps stays between 100 to 120 max. Is there any app that can help fix bottleneck issue

Less than a week ago, SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) developers restarted the discussion regarding whether Wayland should be configured as the preferred over X11, but now Wayland will be sticking if certain Wayland protocols are available.

So Yostar released the Windows client for MahjSoul today. I tried installing it via Lutris and the installer would just stall at 0%.

I did the same process for installing it as I did every game with Lutris: Add the setup .exe to Lutris, run that and install the game, replace the binary with the SECOND setup .exe (the game has a double installer), and attempt to install the game.

The launcher starts and lets me set the install directory, but after starting the install, it gets stuck and doesn't download any files.

I can still play in the browser so I don't mind too much, but it would be nice to have a dedicated client for sure.

Long story short, not using windows anymore, I can't deal with the bloatware. I'm not computer illiterate, but by no means experienced with Linux. Loving the learning journey, but certainly struggling with self troubleshooting.

I'm having so much fun /s trying to setup Steam and Proton, I'm using PopOS so alot of work was done for me when it comes to setup. According to ProtonDB, theoretically I should be able to set the Proton version to 8.0 -5 for RDR2 and launch with no tinkering. Unfortunately that's not the case, the Rockstar Launcher is throwing an error.

The Rockstar Launcher itself seems to install correctly with no issues, it's only upon trying to launch the game I get thrown this error.

If I need to provide more details please let me know, as I'm not entirely sure myself.

NVIDIA 3080 GPU AMD 5900X CPU

I'm completely up for using a different distro if need be.

Hey everyone.

I have switched to linux almost a year ago and have tried to run most of games from my library but the one game that just refuses to run for me no matter the distro I am on is Darksiders 2.

I have tried many times different version of Proton and GE Proton (I have it on Steam) and also all launch parameters I could find like: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%, gamemoderun MANGOHUD=1 %command% ,RADV_PERFTEST=aco gamemoderun %command% and PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% among many I tried but the result is always the same.

I also tried running exe in bottles but to no avail.

By the looks of it a lot of people faced the same issue but I have not found a definitive solution so far.

Did anyone solve this issue or do you know how to solve it? Any help/tip would be greatly appreciated :D Thanks in advance.

Btw I am currently on Debian 12 Bookworm/ KDE Plasma.
