I'm looking for some advice on undervolting my Ryzen 5500. I’m running it on an ASRock A520M HDV motherboard, and my OS is EndeavourOS. My main goals are to reduce temperatures and maybe cut down on power draw a bit.

I've read that undervolting can be done through the BIOS, but I’ve also seen people using software to do it. My question is: is it better to undervolt through the BIOS, or is there a reliable tool I should use on Linux (like CoreCtrl or something similar)? If BIOS is better, could someone guide me on where exactly to adjust the settings and how much I should be lowering the voltage by?

I've been using the open source module for two or three months, and it has worked as good as the propietary drivers.

This got me wondering... For people who can't afford, or don't see worth upgrading in the same generation, a better AMD GPU (for example, I thought of upgrading to a Sapphire Nitro+ from my RTX 3080 just for a better compatibility and tuning support),

How far do you see that Nvidia finally gets to the point AMD is in right now on Linux? (With full driver support, released code, etc)

My GPU is still really new and rumours said that AMD won't release high-end GPU's for the 8000 series, so I don't know if I should just move now!

I believe many of us here find it hard to believe,

1. Riot Games said, there were about hundreds of active League of Linux players daily.
2. EA said, Nastiest cheats were Linux based.
3. Their Kernel Level Anti Cheat actually out perform others in business.

Basically they're two problems

Every time a game loses Linux/Proton support due to anti-cheat some people here downplay it as if wasn't that big of a deal.

League of Legends, biggest MOBA on PC loses Linux support - someone comments "Dota 2 is better"

Roblox loses Linux support - "Game is trash anyway with pedo admins"

GTA V (Online) recently lost Linux support - "Guess they don't want my money"

Apex Legends and a ton of other EA games switching to EA Anticheat lose Linux support - "Fuck EA, never buying their games. Trash anyway"

... and so on

In the span of not even a year we lost support for some of the biggest multiplayer games (Yeah I know there's still a way to play Roblox) while many of us continue to brush it off as it's nothing while I (and probably many others) am now forced to dual-boot Windows to play League with my friends. I really thought it would get better with the release of the Steam Deck and at least now some developers, even big ones, try to optimize their games to work with Steam Deck but it certainly didn't help the anti cheat situation as much as I'd hoped, seeing how many devs didn't bother to enable it.

I also don’t believe Apex, Roblox, and other devs are necessarily lying when they say they’re concerned about cheaters abusing user-space anti-cheat on Linux. It makes sense - user-space anti-cheat is just easier to bypass. And anyone who’s seen what cheaters will do to get an edge knows they’d jump at any opportunity, Linux or not.

I don't know what the solution to combat cheating on Linux is and I am immensely grateful to Valve and everyone else trying to make Linux gaming better. But brushing off these losses with “good riddance” is bitter and honestly feels self-defeating.

I've used Windows all my life but I'm seriously considering trying Linux Mint, since i've read It is user friendly especially for Windows users.

I play a lot of games, including old ones. One of my favorite games ever is the original Diablo.

So. How's gaming on Linux? Especially in cases like Diablo, which doesn't officialy support Linux.

Does emulators also work well? I use them a lot.

In the case of softwares other than games, how hard It is to use something like Wine to make It work properly?

Thanks! :)

Hello, today I've redownloaded TW3 after switching to EndeavourOS. So far all games I've played were on par or better than windows, however here i had terrible frametime and the game would crash after a few minutes of playing. Switching the render from dx12 to dx11 in the projekt red launcher fixed both the frametime and crashing, and the game plays mostly well. However I'ts still missing some options such as fsr upscaling, which would be nice to have. Has anyone encountered the same problem? I tried launching it both from steam with proton and wine from heroic, but with the dx12 mode the same issues would occur.

The game runs, but lags a lot and crashes occationally. Not sure if it's a linux thing or just the game. Still I've been playing for a couple of days and have been enjoying it. Got to a point where it crashed as soon as my character spawned. I almost installed windows just to see if it ran better, but the installer didn't find my sdd. Thankfully I managed to get into the game again and have enjoyed my evening

Hello, this game used to work fine, but now it crashes after about 1 minute of being in game. For some reason Eternal land is not affected in the same way. I am using GE-Proton9-16.

Before crashing, there are no sudden spikes in CPU or GPU usage. My launch options are gamemoderun mangohud %command% -dx11. Here are my specs:

OS: Ubuntu 24.10 KERNEL: 6.11.0-9-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT (radeonsi, navi23, LLVM 19.1.0, DRM 3.58, 6.11.0-9-generic) GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 24.2.3-1ubuntu1 RAM: 31 GB

Also, here's the pastebin of the "stderr.txt" file located in the root directory of the game, for any troubleshooting wizards: https://pastebin.com/g19v8rxe

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is out now and like other recent Sony PlayStation releases on PC, it forces a PlayStation Network Account which is causing issues for some desktop Linux players.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I've seen a steam review that one person is running it fine on Linux.

I however, I am having issues. The game opens fine, I create the character, but when my character shows up, also when the first dialog selection shows up, the game freezes the sounds still plays. Effectively, my whole PC freezes, no input works so can't even switch to any of the TTYs.

I've tried both borderless (default) and full screen, also tried disabling v-sync, capping the fps. Tried multiple Proton versions, even multiple ProtonGE versions.

Any help or troubleshooting steps would be helpfull.

Edit:

Also tried switching to wayland, but that didn't help, same issue.

Hi, I've installed mangohud and gamescope, I want to use the mangohud in all my games to monitor the performance.

I have Steam some games also use launchers like Planetside2 and non-steam Star Citizen.

Is there a config I need to setup for specific fullscreen programs?

Now that Steam has now required developers to state whether they use kernel-level anti-cheat, and just as EA drops Linux support for Apex, here is a list of the 20 most played multiplayer games on Steam as of today, as per the SteamDB website chart. Sorted by number of users, and filtered on whether or not they use kernel-level anti-cheat (or are otherwise made incompatible with Linux), and on whether or not there is a high chance of such an anti-cheat being added in the future:

Anti-cheat used Details 1 Counter-Strike 2 No VAC Created by Valve 2 DOTA 2 No VAC Created by Valve 3 PUBG Battlegrounds Yes, due to configuration BattlEye 4 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Yes, kernel-level Ricochet 5 Throne and Liberty No... so far EAC Developed by NCSoft, also developers of Lineage II, which is currently broken on Linux 6 GTA V Yes, due to configuration BattlEye 7 Rust Yes, due to configuration EAC 8 Naraka: Bladepoint No... so far NEAC Protect Published by NetEase, creators of the NetEase Anti-Cheat Expert (NACE), which is kernel-level 9 Apex Legends Yes, due to configuration EAC 10 War Thunder No EAC Developed by Gaijin Entertainment; no other multiplayer games released; support for Linux was explicitly stated by developers 11 Factorio No No anti-cheat at all 12 Once Human No... so far NEAC Protect The Chinese servers use NetEase Anti-Cheat Expert (NACE), which is kernel-level 13 Stardew Valley No No anti-cheat at all 14 EA Sports FC 25 Yes, kernel-level EA Anticheat 15 Crab Game No No anti-cheat at all 16 Football Manager 2024 No No anti-cheat at all 17 Deadlock No VAC Created by Valve 18 Baldur's Gate 3 No No anti-cheat at all 19 DayZ No BattlEye Developed by Bohemia Interactive; their other games, mainly the Arma series, do not seem to use kernel-level anti-cheat either 20 Dead by Daylight No EAC Developed by Behaviour Interactive; no other multiplayer games released; support for Linux was explicitly stated by developers submitted by /u/csolisr
