I'm on an 8gb RAM laptop with a ryzen 5 3500U, running Fedora 42, only around 6gb of RAM are usable tho because there is no way to reduce the 2gb of assigned video memory on the bios for this model (thx hp and amd). This is also not upgradeable because of how the laptop is made. This leaves me on a very tight ram budget on an otherwise extremely functional computer.

I've been trying to play Age of Empires 2 DE with my friends but even tho the game runs absolutely great on proton (stable 60fps on low settings), there comes a point after some time on most games during which my system goes out of memory and it just freezes.

I've already changed my desktop to i3wm to minimize ram usage, and I don't run anything else in the background aside from the game and steam itself. But the steam web helper services are always hogging AT LEAST 800mb of ram (some times it goes up to 2gb!!!) and it makes this particular game literally unplayable.

Is there any hope here? Any way to mitigate the problem? I already buy a lot of games on GOG just because I hate having to keep a client open to run my games, but some games like AoE 2 DE are not on GOG (even tho it's a classic retro game). Hell I'll be happy to be able to only play the singleplayer campaigns at this point.

Hi there,

I'm currently using an Asus Rog X13 Convertible with XG Mobile (AMD CPU, dGPU: GTX 1650 Mobile, eGPU: RTX 3080 Mobile). Right now, I have both Win10 and CachyOS on the built-in nvme. The latter being my daily driver, the first one exclusively for playing Fortnite.

I'm planning to buy a new desktop gaming machine, thinking AMD 7 9800X3D with RX 7900 XTX or RX 9070 XT. I'd love to go with CachyOS exclusively. I'd be keeping the X13 for uni stuff and playing when on the road (almost every other weekend).

I have a WD P50 nvme ssd (500 GB) laying around and was wondering if it would be possible to use that to install Windows & Fortnite and use it on both machines. (Thus kicking the dualboot from my X13; I could use the space).

So here are my questions:

1. Is that a possible & stable build, since the machines would need different GPU drivers? Alternatively, is it viable to seperate the WD into 3 partitions (one Win per machine; shared Fortnite)?

2. Is Atlas OS still recommended? I'd like to keep the apparently inevitable Win11 installation to a minimum

3. Or would you recommend buying a handheld instead of the new desktop for my situation?

I downloaded God of War and found unexpected problems with fps. I changed the graphics settings to the minimum, but the fps remained the same. At the same time, the video card is used only halfway. This is the first time I encounter such problems. I've played in Cyberpunk, 3 parts of the Mafia and everything worked without problems.

System information:

• OS: Arch Linux (6.16.3-arch1-1) with Wayland (Hyprland 0.50.1)
• RAM: 32GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
• GPU Driver: nvidia 580.76.05-6
• CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F
• Storage: 1TB M2 SSD

What i've tried: - add "split_lock_detect=off" to the GRUB file - Proton Experimental and Proton Hotfix - adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 - adding __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH="$HOME/.nv/GLCache"

I fucking hate being told to just switch to Windows whenever some fuckass game forgets to support Linux or they dont give a shit. Found out really quick I can just get Boosteroid or GeForce Now on Linux and boom problem solved.

Linux can run cloud gaming, anything just not to go back to that shitty, buggy, resource hogging OS that crashes something with each official update

I have discovered currently when I use the dolphin file manager to copy for example my steam directory which is quite large in size just under a terabyte there seems to be an issue where randomly it will say the copying has finished and when you go to see how many files it finished on the system tray it stops at a random interval for example if I'm copying 375,000 files it will say copying has finished but it may say finished copying 200,000 files I have had this issue happen many times and the only work around I have for it at the moment is to use a completely different file manager so I am currently using Nemo I was going crazy trying to figure out why steam had to download most of my games that I copied over because it never finished copying all the files but if I do the same operations with Nemo there is no problem so I just thought I would let people know because I have experienced this several times in the latest version of kde

Hello!, i have been using Mint for the past month and a half. So far its been pretty good, i haven't played lots of heavy games, just simple stuff or lightweight games. But lately ive tried some games like Battlebit Remastered, which used to run perfect on windows with high and stable fps. But on under proton (tried various versions) I noticed the game has a decent frame rate, arround 140, but sometimes drops or it feels slugish, even while having a good amount of fps, keep in mind the game always has atleast 100 fps, it rarely drops from that number. I also played Doom 2016 which had like 90 FPS or sometimes even 130 but it feel off.
My PC isn't really strong, its a Ryzen 5 5600GT with 16GB of ram, pretty basic stuff. But I wonder if this happens because i don't have a dedicated GPU and proton requires more resources or its just a bad configuration on my end.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a basic question.

I have a small form factor PC connected to my LG TV running Bazzite and I'm interested in buying an RTX 4060 low profile GPU and was wondering if Gsync will work with it over HDMI? I'm pretty sure FreeSync will work with an RX 6400 low profile but the 4060 is way more powerful.

Anyone have any experience with VRR on Nvidia GPUs?

Match-3 and blow everything up in Match Shot Chimera, a unique fusion of two rather different genres of games into something fun.

I don't really know if it's the driver or another layer between it and my game, but I noticed when I keep a key pressed for a certain amount of time, my input lag increases quickly up to more than 1 second, making it effectively impossible to do certain things that require some degree of precision timing in said game. (Another, but less important, issue is that I can't input more than 3 keys at a time, if you have a solution for that too, please tell me)

What could the cause of this be, and how could I fix it?

For context, I play genshin on lutris with ge-proton.

Any input is welcome, thanks.

I was recently playing The Last of Us Part 2 on Linux and noticed that the game had certain image errors or glitches, such as textures suddenly appearing, and on the splash screen where there's a boat, Linux would display a kind of flickering and graininess on the edges of the 3D object that Windows doesn't display (both with the same settings because I saved the files and settings and can only switch between them).

Why does it seem like Linux sometimes has these glitches with edges, strange graininess, and flickering edges, while Windows doesn't? If you know of a way to fix this...

So: Fedora 42

Latest ProtonGE (I tested CachyOs and HotFix but it didn't change the defects)

FREESYNC: OFF

No upscaling

GPU: RX 6700XT, Driver mesa: 25.1.7 (Latest from Fedora 42)

Note: It may seem a little silly or that strange edges don't interfere with gameplay, but I'm a bit picky about it...hahaa

Hello all! Thanks in advance for reading my post. I would describe my skill/experience level as intermediate, so its very possible I've missed something simple, but I've been having issues with some mouse and keyboard games on my primary desktop. To make things simpler, I'll just focus on one game (series) for this post, Supreme Commander. I would like to also mention that I'm not having these issues on my laptop (Nobara 42, Official, 7840HS, 7700s).

The primary issue that I'm having is that elements of the game do not react to cursor presence. For instance, I can click to skip the opening video, but menu items are not highlighted as they should be when the mouse is hovering over them. I have to close the game with Alt+f4 and then Enter to respond to the "Do you want to exit" dialog.

Issues:

1. Clicks do not register 2. Windowed mode does not work
