Got debian 12 on my personal computer! I made a partition on one of my disk and installed debian there, the others disks are just for windows and so i can play games that cant run on linux, example iracing. Now the next steps are adding more space to my debian, because right now as im testing it and i only asigned 30gb. Also i need to migrate all the data to debian and make debian as my principal SO and Win as a secondary just gaming SO. Tell me any advice! 🐧

Hello! I've only been using Linux on this PC for about a year. After some testing, I switched to CachyOS. At first, everything was great, but after a while, problems started.

When I'm playing after a few minutes the game starts to stutter, the strange thing is that it only happens when I move the mouse or press something, when I die I go to the kill view for example, if I don't move anything it stays smooth, if I move the mouse it gives me a problem.

I've tested several different distros and kernels, x11 and wayland, refresh rates, turning off vsync, resolutions, proton, gnome, KDE, xfce, cinnamon, bisgie, cosmic... Disabling Resizebar in BIOS, using legacy, overclocking, downclocking...

And believe it or not, I installed Windows 10 and the problem is gone! But I want to use my CachyOS only.

If anyone can help me solve it I will be very grateful.

I'm trying to play the majoras mask recomp from an appImage file but cannot seem to be able to launch it from heroic, I have selected both the appImage files an exec and also tried making a .sh file that opens the appImage but neither of these launch the game, but they open just fine directly from the file manager

Olá! Uso somente Linux nesse Pc por volta de 1 ano, após uns testes fiquei no CachyOS, no início estava tudo lindo, mas depois de um tempo começaram os problemas.

Quando estou jogando após uns minutos o game começa a engasgar, o estranho é que só acontece com mexe o mouse ou tecla algo, quando morre que vai pra visão de abate por exemplo, se não mexer nada fica liso, se mexer o mouse dá problema.

Já testei várias distros e kernels diferentes, x11 e wayland, taxas de atualização, desligar vsync, resoluções, prótons, gnome, KDE, xfce, cinnamon, bisgie, cosmic... Desativar Resizebar na BIOS, usar em legacy, overclock, downclock...

E por incrível que pareça, instalei o Windows 10 e o problema acabou! Mas quero usar meu CachyOS somente.

Se alguém me ajudar a resolver serei muito grato.

Thinking of upgrading from my 3080ti, to a 9070XT, and thought I would kill two birds with one stone with the better Linux compatibility

I know the drivers aren’t going to be the best at the beginning, but has anyone had any luck running steamOS with this? I heard on some AMD cards you can run it with no modifications

howdy, im finally going to jump the shark and install Linux on my main computer to primarily use. my plan is to Keep my Windows partition on my 500GB m.2 for playing stuff like COD and Fortnite and other anticheat games, and then put Linux on my 1TB SSD to do everything else. i have two other HDDs that im not sure how to partition. either split it down the middle or just give everything to Linux. either way works for me. in the end im going to do a full wipe of windows anyways i think, saving everything i want to keep of course.

the main thing im wondering is what Distro i should use. im already a big fan of Mint, its on every other computer i own. im pretty familiar with it. but i also want to finally try a more gaming centric distro like Bazzite or Chimera. i dont really know how much of a sacrifice it is to go with a more gaming centric Distro. is there any sacrifice at all? i dont really think so. it would be cool if i can keep the look of Mint while also having all the gaming plugins and stuff of Bazzite or whatever. idk

anyways that’s pretty much it, if you have any suggestions or ideas id appreciate it. thanks in advance.

I'm using Fedora 41, Gnome. Through dx11 I get good frames but terrible stutters whereas dx12 has less stutters but poor performance although playable on my gtx 1650. My main goal is to lock the frame rate for stability but even after the locking the frametime graph goes crazy.

I've used in-game frame limit, mangohud's frame limit as well as VKD3D_FRAME_RATE=30. None of them give any stable results. Witcher 3 is the only game where I've faced this issue.

Does anyone have any solution or facing the same issue?

First, thanks for everyone who runs and contributes to this sub, it's very useful to lurk and read.

I wanted some advice: essentially I need to decide whether to get a steam deck or get a cheap-ish corporate desktop on eBay, Install bazzite and slap an AMD card in it. Per the FAQ on this sub and everything I've read AMD GPUs are the way to go due to better drivers.

If it's a PC I was thinking of something like an i7/16gb M710s Lenovo desktop and slapping a low profile RX 6400 in it. Could probably find a base system that's a bit more recent for a bit more money, though it seems corporates don't buy desktops much anymore!

What I want to get is a home console like experience on a PC to play Indie titles (think cheap but fun stuff like brotato or spelunky or metroidvania stuff) and older games (think PS3/early 4 era PC ports like the Arkham games or stuff like the original Black Ops), no interest in online or modern AAA so anti cheat doesn't matter to me. Gaming will be done mostly on the TV. Seems this is what bazzite is.

I'm fine with 1080/60 levels of performance. Budget is the price of a 512GB oled deck+dock (about GBP 530/USD 670 where I live).

I have 3 Linux machines at home (laptop and media server plus a little dedicated emulation box running Batocera which is awesome) and have done for a year but would still class myself as a bit of a penguin noob. Happy to tinker ofc, that's part of the fun!

Thoughts? Seems like steam deck performance can be had for maybe half the price of a deck on a PC and the compromise is tinkering/set up required and a lack of portability?

Hello,

I just got my 9070, wiped NVIDIA drivers (4070 Super) and now I'm stuck at games on Steam crashing and/or artefacting. Minecraft for example runs just fine, outside of Steam obviously. Any ideas what I might be missing? The error in Steam is "Vulkan encountered unrecoverable error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST." So far I've done a regular driver Installation via amdgpu-install and by manually downloading the current .deb Package from AMD for Ubuntu 24.04.

I'm on Linux Mint 22 on the currently latest Version (08/03/2025).

Here is a link for images of the issue.

Did a sanity-check and ran GTA V on windows just to be sure it's not the GPU itself.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, when I recently installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my new laptop and had various issues with Snaps so I switched over to using Flatpak for my apps. One of the few hiccups I am having with Steam-flatpak is that when I try to add a non-Steam game, it seems to copy the executable to a strange directory rather than linking to the original executable. This obviously causes the game to not work as all of the game files are somewhere else.

/run/user/1000/doc/<random_hash>/my_app.exe

Is there something I need to adjust somewhere so that Steam can see my non-Steam game directories rather than copying files around?

Playing on Linux Mint, Proton Experimental, I played the game like a year ago with no issues. Now when going into Dead Plaza (5th level or so?) the LOUDEST sound just popped out of my headphones, almost ear-hurting, like someone turned up the volume to 500 %. It was a specific sound, and the other sounds in the game looked like normal volume. Changing to proton 9.0 fixed the issue, but damn, does anybody have a clue about wtf that was?

Installed Call of duty Infinite Warfare via steam on arch. Game launches fine. But when i try to change my input keys, every input only gets recognized as "numlock". When i reset controlls, it shows the standard WASD-keys. Effectively i can't change the key-setup. Anyone got an idea ?
