So I am currently using fedora and I know that nobara is a fedora based distro whith tweaks towards gaming and content creation.

My question is there any special change to nabara other than addong multimedia codecs and rpm-fusion compared to fedora in terms of video recording?

I know that there are other for gaming like lutris and steam already installed but is there anything what boost video creating performance?

I'm on debian 13 and I'm having a hard time getting PEAK to run via Proton, I have tried proton Experimental and Proton 9 and protonGE, and while the ingame cursor loads and I here sound there is just a black screen, I have tried both Vulcan and Direct X rendering. My PC is a fairly old PC with integrated graphics.

So I've been trying to play Sims 4 today. At first I had some problems but it finally worked. an hour in... froze, (last save was long ago). probably just a one-timer I thought. a few minutes into playing again, froze. oh shit. I have tried everything, GE 10, Proton experimental, proton Hotfox, proton 10. environment tables like no-esync or something. prime-run, nope. I had to resort to chatgpt, and I try to avoid that. It won't not freeze.

Manjaro, gnome x11, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 ti mobile / Intel UHD (Intel core i7 10450h) hybrid. proprietary drivers. 16gb ram.

after the freeze it never prompts that the app doesn't respond. Also, the freeze happens a lot while I'm focused on another window. and I have to force close it, simply closing it doesn't do anything.

I have this laptop come in tomorrow hopefully. I plan on changing the os and using a external drive when all the parts come in. Im not really a intense gamer but a gamer non the less. I needed a cheap laptop and this is what i found because inflation is a issue. What types of games could this device run also what os should i try. Im not sure if i should go with something like windows or linux, maybe even dual booting?

What would you suggest?

I'm using Easy Effects and when gaming with any intensive game, the audio starts to crackle. This is really annoying but happens even on normal desktop usage when there's a spike in system resource usage.

I checked my effects and disabled all of them, and just having Easy Effects running without any modification still has the same issues.

Hello, I want to play to genshin impact on arch, I don't know how to do it because genshin now has anti-cheat, so, is there a way to play it safely?

Basically the title. I'm looking for a simple, lightweight, and toggleable alternative overlay for OpenGL and Vulkan that just shows the game framerate (and yeah, I'm aware that MangoHUD can be configured this way).

Alternative overlays I already know about:

• DXVK_HUD=fps environment variable in DXVK, but only works under Wine/Proton with DirectX 7->11 applications

• WINEDEBUG=+fps environment variable in Wine, but it's tied to Wine/Proton, and only works with WineD3D/DAMAVAND (DirectX 1->11?), if I recall correctly

• Mesa driver has GALLIUM_HUD environment variable, but it only works with OpenGL

• Steam has this new overlay, but I'm looking for something standalone (and also I've heard there are currently some issues with it causing lower performance in games)

So, is there some alternative overlay that works with OpenGL and Vulkan APIs and is not tied to Steam or Wine/Proton? I'm using AMD GPU if that makes any difference

I use arch btw, with nvidia driver 580 and sway.

The issue only happens with shaders, vanilla game works fine. When using older versions of the game with older version of sodium/iris I get black flickering all over the screen.

I think it has something to do with GPU drivers, hopefully it gets fixed soon. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Today was the last straw. I came into my office and Windows once again woke my desktop at some point during my sleep. Not even disabling windows updates can reliably prevent this bs apparently because MSVC (which I just need for its compiler toolchain) can run some stupid update nobody cares about, waking my machine. Alright fine... whatever... I sit down and start working... suddenly the CPU fans spin up... again for the 1000th time... I open Task Manager... I see some Windows update or "security" or indexing process at the top of the list at 40 or 50 percent CPU usage... instantly vanishing... as if caught in the act... God only knows how to disable it... God only knows for what purpose... probably to ensure the sublime user experience we are used to from the Windows operating system... I mean it got so much better over the years, right? With every update...
And I simply couldn't take it anymore.
I logged like 40 hours of games this year. All the rest of my time spent on this machine is spent programming. And it works. I can, through some hack, always find a way to get a workable experience in that regard. We got WSL after all, right... even GPU passthrough in WSL. If I spend a day debugging I can even get some esoteric CUDA ML kernel to compile under Windows without WSL with some hacked together toolchain or trick that makes God weep.
But it's annoying bloat and a waste of time that I can't justify carrying around anymore because of the occasional 1 or 2 hours of games.

So I thought, fine... if I can play games on linux then good, otherwise whatever. I moved the little critical data I had on my boot drive to one of my backup drives and planned the transition with ChatGippedy. Considering some distros and the data swaps necessary for my warm and cold storage, which were NTFS aswell, disk encryption etc.
I took a risk by choosing CachyOS but I've heard good things.
I took another risk by going with Wayland + Hyprland which seemed to be notoriously difficult with Nvidia Hardware or at least unstable/experimental (I have a heterogenous mix of a 5090 and 3090s). But f it, if Wayland + Hyprland causes problems I can switch to KDE or something before investing time in setting up the rest.

The results were beyond expectation.
Installation was smooth and fast.
Nvidia drivers: Just worked.
Cuda: Just worked.
High refresh rate Gsync displays: Just worked.
Installing the cachyos-gaming-meta package... absurdly fast.
Launched Steam, downloaded Doom: The Dark Ages waiting for the worst to happen.
But no. It starts up. I load up a level. Smooth 150 fps at 4k without framegen at highest settings. No tearing, no stuttering. The CPU is chilling at 30% usage.
What the hell?
Are the forums just full of Windows employees posting about made up problems or did I get lucky?

Hi, I installed Debian recently and haven't used Linux in any capacity in a couple of years. Needless to say, I was surprised to see that my Linux-compatible Steam games list was exponentially larger than I remember it being. However, this was due to the fact that Proton is now enabled seemingly for everything. In addition, it looks like a recent update (as in, within the past year) made it impossible to disable Steam Play/Proton. Does this mean there is now no way to filter my library to exclusively show games with native Linux binaries?

Currently inalling Linux mint and windows 11 on my new machine. I have 2 x 1tb nvmes that will have windows 11 on one and Linux mint on the other. I will have 2 additional storage SSDs 2 tb each. Is there anything I should do to lock the drives to each OS? Can I access both 2 tb storage drives from either OS or should I only use 1 storage drive per OS? In short in there anything I need to do in order to keep Linux and windows from clashing heads accessing each drive. Concerned about this after reading that windows was bricking some SSDs and sometimes messing with the Linux boot drive.

Windows and Linux will be on separate boot drives. Dual booting to play competitive games with anticheat

Hi! Having released Slumberer's Universe yesterday, with full proper Linux support, not needing Proton, there are a lot of things to talk about.

First of all, maintaining cross-platform support as a solo developer was a real challenge. I am a Linux user, so most of my problems were that the Windows build broke on multiple occassions. It is funny that even the Windows build would run better with Proton than on Windows (it still does, for some magical reasons).

One challenge was playing prerendered cutscenes, A.K.A just basic webm videos in specific conditions. These worked perfectly on Linux (even with Proton!), but on Windows, they had noticeable slowdown and audio went out of sync. Another especially frustrating one was that system updates broke dependencies that the engine had. This has made the game not even start with bleeding-edge systems like Arch. Even now, it will require updates to keep Linux support. I am 100% willing to continue supporting Linux as a first-class citizen, but it is time-consuming.

Now having done all this to bring native Linux support, I can understand why many indie devs do not even want to try to include native Linux build. It is more than just packaging it for Linux, and for a solo developer, that has been a lot of work. However, due to me being such a die-hard Linux fan, this was just something I had to do. Even if Proton could have cut it, I love having native builds for Linux for everything I use!

Thanks for reading, and if you are interested, here's the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2140980/Slumberers_Universe/

I've just move back to arch linux with a new monitor with 180hz, but even using a displayport o hdmi I still can't get my pc set the 180hz performance, it only get to 165hz

I have an AMD graphic card and my monitor is the micronics mg27ff. And I tried on windows and windows recognise the 180hz.

Hi,

I'm a fairly new Arch user (noob) and I am having difficulty running The Sims 2 after using an install script called Aube TS2 Magipack. Even installing the game without the script, I have been running into issues with .NET Framework and DirectX 9.0c. A textbox prompts me to install dotnet version 4.8. I've tried to use the integrated winetricks to run the installation tool and I get stuck at "Downloading Netfx_Full_x64.msi". Using winetricks in my applications tab, the installation goes fine. Interestingly, when I go into Lutris' winetricks > install an application > install a windows DLL or component, dotnet40 & dotnet48 are checked.

The Sims 2 opens, but there are some audio glitches, and as soon as I enter a neighborhood, the FPS drops down to around 2 per second.

I'd appreciate any help with this issue.

The application had *not* terminated.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is coming and soon too! On September 4th, the wait will finally be over for fans as confirmed today by Team Cherry.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I have a muxless rtx 3050 4gb laptop (Asus tuf F15 2021 model) And i've been distro hopping for a bit, and at the time of writing this post i'm trying out Bazzite, as a friend told me its almost a plug and play experience, and as i just found out, its desktop environment runs on Wayland instead of X11.

My experience so far with Wayland has not been good, but not too bad, I mostly play rhythm or casual competitive games which are very sensitive with input lag. And not only Wayland just feels... incomplete, but even with better performance than windows, i feel like it somehow has more input latency than windows and x11, my system does not feel as snappy as it does when using x11, or even windows, and it's multi monitor handling is not the best either, it somehow adds more latency making my overall system feel slow, even though it's supposed to be a faster and snappier experience.

I'm thinking on going back to Manjaro just because it actually supports X11, as i tried getting it to work on Bazzite, and it just refuses to go into the desktop environment if i want to use X11.

If theres an idea or something to force Bazzite to work on X11 i'd actually apreciate it.

Thinking about switching to Linux for gaming, but I have an NVIDIA graphics card. I’ve heard it’s not ideal unless you have AMD—can anyone confirm if that’s true? Thanks in advance!

Had some counter-strike 2 (with gamescope) crashes on my "stable" OC settings (they were stable until this week). Reducing GPU Clock stabilized it again. I'm wondering if anyone else had this phenomenon.
