Hola a todos, Soy nuevo por aquí y me gustaría pediros consejo sobre volver a Linux después de varios años usando Windows. 📜 Mi experiencia con Linux Hace años tenía un ordenador bastante viejo que se quedaba congelado constantemente. Recuerdo pasar casi toda la noche intentando terminar un vídeo para clase porque el sistema se trababa cada dos por tres. A veces olvidaba guardar y tenía que repetir mucho trabajo… una pesadilla. En esa época me empezó a interesar el tema del hacking y leí que Linux era más seguro y estable. Como no sabía nada de programación, busqué una distro sencilla y terminé instalando Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. El cambio fue increíble: el ordenador dejó de congelarse y funcionaba mucho más fluido. Con el tiempo me acostumbré a usar la terminal para instalar programas y actualizar el sistema, y la verdad es que me encantaba. Fui actualizando hasta llegar aproximadamente a Ubuntu 20.04. 🎮 El problema: los juegos Mi gran frustración siempre fue el gaming. Intenté usar Wine y PlayOnLinux siguiendo tutoriales al pie de la letra, pero nunca conseguí que los juegos de Windows funcionaran bien. 💻 Mi equipo actual Más adelante me regalaron un Acer típico de oficina. Lo he mejorado bastante: Windows 11 32 GB de RAM (venía con 8 GB) Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ahora el ordenador va perfecto, pero echo de menos Linux. 🎯 Lo que busco Quiero volver a Linux (no sé si Ubuntu u otra distro), pero necesito: Buen soporte para Nvidia Sistema estable y con buenas actualizaciones Ligero pero potente Buena compatibilidad para gaming (Steam/Proton, etc.) pero que al mismo tiempo sirva como ordenador personal Estoy pensando probar primero en máquina virtual. No me atrevo a eliminar Windows por completo por el tema de los juegos, así que probablemente haga dual boot. ❓ Preguntas ¿Qué distro recomendaríais en 2026 para alguien en mi situación? ¿Cómo está el gaming en Linux hoy en día comparado con hace 5-6 años? ¿Sigue siendo el dual boot la mejor opción? Gracias de antemano 🙌

In the title screen, it uses about 1Gb of vram and 50-70% GPU usage. When i load into a store it goes to 98% usage and 7.8Gb/8Gb of vram, making everything else glitch.

Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

I already have RE1, RE4, and RE7 running on my system without any issues. However, RE9 has very low FPS and exhibits numerous artifacts. It does not make any difference whether the settings are maxed out or set to the lowest possible.

By default, like RE4, it doesn't let me enable RT, and I had to run the game with `/WineDetectionEnabled:False`. However, it will crash frequently whenever I max out the RT or enable PT.

I've tried:

• `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`
• `WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=1`
• `PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1` and the following `DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_*`
• Changing the Windows compatibility layer from Win10 to Win11
• Using a different proton version (Hotfix, Experimental, GE-Proton)
• `PROTON_LOG=1` It shows no trace of any error.

Nothing made any difference at all. How can I fix this?

My system:

• OS: ArchLinux 6.18.9-zen1-2-zen
• Desktop: KDE Plasma 6.6.0 on Wayland
• CPU: R9 9950X3D
• dGPU: RTX 5080 (Driver: nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-4)
• iGPU: Disabled
• Env vars: the `/etc/environments` is empty and I don't have anything special in my shell's settings too.

Hello everyone,

Is anybody experiencing crashes on this game too?

I was able to open it and pass through the options of privacy, brightness, contrast, etc. successfully. But after that, the game crashes after a few seconds if left on the main menu or during the loading screen when starting a new game.

It happened to me with various versions of Proton.

My configuration:

• Distro: Fedora Kinoite 43.
• Kernel: 6.18.13.
• CPU: 9950X3D.
• GPU: 5070 Ti.
• Nvidia Driver: 580.119.02.
• Proton versions tested:
  • Experimental
  • Hotfix
  • 9.0-4
  • 10.0-4
  • GE-Proton10-32
  • GE-Proton10-26

Did anyone have the same issue and fixed it, or do I need to wait until an update is released?

For those who don't know, in the latest Virtua Fighter updates, they added EAC, but strangely the game was no longer working on Linux. It was possible to solve this problem with the command "steamdeck=1 %command%", but let's face it, it's very annoying to have to do that to run a game that already worked on Linux. Now they've fixed it :D

Did it take a long time? Yes... But better late than never.

This is my laptop. 5050 GPU, 13450HX CPU if you don't want to click.

edit: may have come off wrong here or people may not be reading the full post, but i dont mind if performance is equal. i want to switch for stability because right now i have to restart every so often, system and apps will freeze sometimes etc. i will mind if performance is like 5% worse

I normally wouldn't ask this question because the obvious answer to me would be a devout "no." But is gaming on Linux, on, say, a distro like Bazzite or Debian, going to be a better experience than Windows? Not sure if it's just Reddit lunacy, but I recall some people telling me that it's on par or better. I do not play online multiplayer games and never plan to. Purely games like Cyberpunk 2077, E33, Elden Ring (I don't care if I can't play online here), etc.

For context, I've already debloated Windows with a tool called Winutil and use an application-level firewall, Portmaster, to block unneeded connections. I'd switch to Linux if it isn't a headache to do so. Last time I used Debian, suspend/resume (sleep) was a headache, and I probably spent ~10 hours finding drivers to fix Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

I would consider dualbooting, but there were some issues about bluetooth with hmac keys being mismatched or something and and dont want to troubleshoot for hours to get devices working correctly. also bluetooth in general was just worse with debian... laptop wouldnt autoconnect at boot to my headphones, the bluetooth applet kept duplicating entries of the same devices

The only reason I'd want to switch to Linux is better stability. I want to run the operating system, as in open Dolphin to manage files, Okular to read documents, and run a browser with 20+ tabs for ~30 active hours while sleeping and waking the system many times with no issues. I would not switch if I would experience even a 5% performance drop or any instability in games that Windows would not have.

I do not care about any software ideology, as in if linux: isnt made against my intentions, is foss, is truly mine, etc.

Also, I want a tool that dynamically adjusts monitor refresh rate and changes the laptop performance profile (on Windows it's Fn+Q) when plugging the charger in and out.

Appreciate any soul willing to help haha.
