Hi, I've been thinking about migrating to Linux recently but someone told me there's performance issues in modern games, specifically Dx12 games.

The problem is, I use a 3060ti and my most played game by far is Monster Hunter Wilds which doesn't have great performance out of the box either, I can run it at 40~50fps right now so any big penalty would be terrible.

So, how's the driver situation right now? I'll never change to AMD so sticking with Nvidia here is the only choice.

As a gamer, something I used a lot on Windows was a clipping app called Medal, but moving to Linux I found there wasn't really a true alternative. On Linux you either send a raw file and hit Discord's 10MB limit, or you upload to Google Drive, wait for it to process, set it to public, etc. It's just more friction than it should be. On Windows you just clip and send a link. So I built Vice to fix that for Linux.

Press a hotkey, clip saved. One click to copy a share link that embeds directly in Discord. That's it.

It also does:

• Rolling replay buffer (like ShadowPlay) — uses the same backend as gpu-screen-recorder so CPU usage is minimal
• Session recording with hotkey highlights — tap the hotkey during a long match to timestamp moments without stopping the recording
• Clip gallery with trimming, renaming, and colour-coded highlights
• Works on Wayland, X11, NVIDIA, and AMD/Intel

It's free, open source (GPL-3.0), and on AUR:

yay -S vice-clipper

Website: viceclipper.framer.website

GitHub: github.com/eklonofficial/Vice

This is v1.0.0 so it's not perfect, but it works. Happy to fix anything that's broken for people.

Hi everyone! I decided to do the switch to Linux using the Zorin distro and it's been pretty good, it's fluid and really good looking but I decided to start downloading and trying my games through Steam and I'm stuck with making Warframe work. The launcher loads, downloads everything alright but when I press Play to enter it closes immediately. I tried using other versions of Proton including GE and it doesn't seem to be helping.

My specs (in case it's needed):

• Intel i5 11400
• Nvidia GTX 1660 ti
• 16 GB DDR4

Hi all,

Its been over a year since i last tried Linux, at the time, i had a a lot of games that i played, since then i have also swapped from a RTX 3070 to a RX 9070 XT, my biggest issue with my first swap was that i had a FPS loss of almost 10-20% of any game i tried, and since every game nowatdays has such shitty optimization, a 20% FPS is pretty big, hoping that its better this time around.

Last time i also tried using bazzite as my distro, but i quickly learned that it being persistent and not saving changes upon reboot that i changed code and such that aren't surface level is a big deal to me, and the fact that it is so baby proof that i dont have as much freedom, i do need some kind of distro for gaming primarily, but i also need to video edit and do college work while also having the freedom to tinker and adjust stuff, apply changes to apps, etc..., my friend that has been using Linux for a while recommended that i use Cachy OS and that he hasnt had any problems with it so far. For my GUI and interface, i simply just prefer something that works and feels like windows, this isnt about "getting used to linux" i just simply prefer the windows GUI and interface, tried MacOS and Gnome, and it simply doesn't work for me and my workflow

Some things that i absolutely do need if i swap:
- Screenshot software that is similar to ShareX, with built in editing tools

- Editing software similar to Sony Vegas Pro 22

- Alternative to photo editing that isnt Gimp, since i already tried gimp and hate it

- Some sort of audio mixer (like voicemeter banana) to split audio like browser, music, game, discord and mic audio to different tracks that i can individually edit (for example not having Game and browser audio on the same track so that recording software doesent pickup my browser audio unless i specify so)

- Performance overlays and diagnostic (mainly MSI afterburner and RTSS) which i can see my FPS and other diagnostics and also cap my FPS at a certain value at the press of a bind (144 FPS bind, 240 FPS bind and such)

- Solution for playing the rare few games that i can play on Linux due to Kernel level AC limitations (Probably dual booting, but trying to find another cheap SSD for windows these days requires me to sell a kidney and i heard that booting just off different partitions is unreliable)

- Screen recording and streaming software (I already use OBS for this with replay buffer that i have setup for instant replay, hopefully this works well on Linux)

- Reliable way of booting up windows native apps that dont have a linux alternative (heard that i can just do this with wine)

- Solution for my Peripheral software like my Pulsar X3 mini mouse which i heard doesn't have a native linux build for

I will just mention that i am not new or scared of my PC, i have been using and working with PCs since i was 7 and i have been hosting my own Ubuntu headless server for over 2 years now, so getting over a slight learning curve or bump wont be much of an issue, as long as it isnt actual hell

There is probably more that i can think of but currently as of writing this, its the only thing that i can think of right now

I have been getting Carbon and Most wanted to run, both heavily modded. Utilizing gamescope, the WINEDLLOVERRIDE="dinput8=n,b" %command% forcing my dedicated gpu using DRI_PRIME with my hardware ID. But Prostreet will "Launch" for a moment, can see the icon on the task manager and then will hung and close out. No animations or cutscenes. I have tried to disable xalia, adjusting gamescope, used a vanilla copy of the game. This file works flawlessly on windows when I boot up windows. Same with the Carbon and Prostreet.

I Have tried both steam and lutris and all the proton layers they have to offer but the game doesn't want to stay running so I am coming here, I'm desperate lol

I understand that Nvidia has a troubled past with Linux, but it's what I've got and I really want to be getting away from Windows.

I've only got two games installed at the moment but both are experiencing this same issue: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Diablo 2 Resurrected Infernal edition. They run just fine for what seems like a random amount of time, anywhere from 2-45 minutes, before a crash occurs. Sometimes the crash is that the game just exits as if I alt+F4'd it. Other times it just freezes, and I have to go kill the process. And occasionally it will hard lock my PC and require a manual shutoff.

I'm at a loss and welcome any advice / troubleshooting steps. Thanks in advance!

PC Info:

• Ryzen 7 3700X
• GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
  • Current Driver: 590.48.01 (Open)
  • Have also tried 580 and 570, all had the same issues.
• 16gb ram
• Current OS: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit (installed on SSD) w/ 16gb swap partition.
  • Kernel: 6.17.0-14-generic
  • I've tried CachyOS and Nobara as well, all had the same issues.
• Secure Boot: Off

I've tried the following Proton versions:

• GE-Proton10-32
• Proton Experimental
• Proton Hotfix
• Proton 10.0-4

I've tried an assortment of launch options. I've tried these in all kinds of combinations, and also with none. I got most of these from ProtonDB comments.

• gamemoderun
• SteamDeck=0
• VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv
• LD_PRELOAD=""
• PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1
• PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1

Here are some of the exceptions I've seen appear in the Proton logs.

Ok this is a weird one, playing borderlands 2 with 3 laptops on a LAN (Ubuntu Jammy, linux native version of borderlands 2)

one of them stopped working after installing updates, just says "no games found" when searching. even tried using Ethernet cables and an old hub to rule out wifi. you can see the discovery packets in wireshark, but it says the packets are malformed (not sure if that is relevant)

after hours of head scratching upgraded one of the other laptops and it also stopped working.
verified booting them back into 6.8.0-94 with no other changes fixes the problem.

I looked through the change logs and there were a metric boatload of noble updates pushed down into jammy in 6.8.0-98.
So it is most likely .98 that has the issue, but I have no idea which one is causing the issue.
I just wanted to post this here in the case that it helps someone else

i recently build a "livingroompc" for me and my kids. currently im running i3 + picom and some custom scripts for controlling the whole thing via the og steamcontroller and it works fine, only issue: nvidia gpu, massive screen tearing.

i tried full compositing pipleline via nvidia settings, which helps - but i have massive input lag when using it. i also tried disabling picom, enabling tripple buffering via xorg.conf and setting the GPUPowerMizerMode to perfomance without success.

switchting to wayland (sway) seems to solve the whole tearing issue, but now i run into another issue: i cant use the steam controller while the steam-client is running (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6615). i tried a workaroung (https://github.com/Supreeeme/extest) but that doesnt seem to work.

has anybody run into the same issue and has a working solution?

I enjoyed the first Solasta so was looking forward to Solasta 2 EA this week. Decide to try out the Solasta 2demo but it will not run on my linux (Bazzite)...gets as far as the first prompt to press any button and crashes...with vram error.

I have had no issues running recent Steam games on Bazzite until this demo.

So I tried CachyOs for the first time a month ago and instantly fell in love did a bit of distro hopping (Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu, Bazzite) but CachyOs seemed perfect for me. But I am in a bit of dilemma right now, I have a Gaming Laptop with RTX 2050 as a discrete GPU and Ryzen 5 5500H with Integrated AMD Graphics.

WHEN I FIRST TRIED GAMING

So when I first tried Gaming I played Ready or Not and Ghost Recon Breakpoint and those gave me performances better than I got on Windows. I am mentioning the Lutris and KDE Version because at that time after these two's updates my games broke (Lutris was 0.5.19 and KDE was 6.5.5).

AFTER UPDATES

After these two's updates Lutris (0.5.20 and 0.5.22) and KDE (6.6.0 and 6.6.1) my games stopped launching all together. After a bit of troubleshooting games launched but I lost my performances like around 60-70% drop. I reinstalled CachyOs 2-3 times but nothing was solved.

ISSUES FACED IN GAMES

I tested Days Gone, Shadow of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 2, (I have already played these games when I was on Windows and faced no issues). In Days Gone I faced stutters and crashes, same for Shadow of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 2, Gameplay was smooth above 60 FPS (tested with mangohud) but constant stutters. I tried many troubleshooting but nothing helped so decided to migrate back to windows to check, and my intuition was right, in Windows I faced no stutters and gameplay was smooth with 60+Fps.

SOME EXTRA POINTS

I use game's settings from Youtube Benchmark of a GTX 1650 as it is the closest counterpart.

The main reason for writing is I want a solution as I don't wanna use Windows as it is TRASH. After using Linux I fell in love and completely migrated but as I do mostly gaming it is a issue.
And if you suggest dual-booting, it is my last option if nothing works but I would still like a solution as to why this happened.

Thank you for your time.

Yo! I added Wine support to Meganimus.

Meganimus is a launcher focused on organization; it transfers AppImage versions of emulators and Wine, placing them in a folder with portable $HOME folders to facilitate backing up created files.

The Wine support is simple; the goal is just to have another option, as for many people Wine alone may be sufficient.

If you want to test it:

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask: once the DX12 performance drop issue on NVIDIA cards gets fixed, could that also lead to proper HDR support in games?

Right now, HDR does not work for me unless I use:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

and install:

paru -S vk-hdr-layer-kwin6-git

Even then, it does not work in every game, and when it does, it still does not look as good as HDR on Windows.

So I’m wondering whether these are separate issues, or if fixing the DX12/NVIDIA problem could also improve HDR support on Linux.

Nightdive Studios have announced today that SiN Reloaded will release this year, and there's a new trailer available to watch right now.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

So far i think CachyOS looks promising for this scenario but i heard recently it requires a good amount of tinkering and so i wanted to ask here if anyone can confirm this or suggest anything better. Anyways this is what we are looking for:

He is building a pretty decently speced pc with ryzen and radeon(forgot to ask him which ones), he is going to use it to play gaming mainly, and also do other stuff that any casual guy normally does with their pc(watching videos, school stuff, etc).

He doesn't mind a little tinkering here and there(its pretty much inevitable for linux) but neither he wants to spend too much time fixing stuff nor I want to be continuously ringed by him to help him fix an issue. Is CachyOS right for him or does he need something else?

Bonus Question: My other friend, who likes to play games too, but mainly uses his laptop(work laptop, integrated intel graphics) for general purpose stuff like school and etc., however his laptop is still hanging on Windows 10 because it cannot upgrade to windows 11 and he wants to switch to a safer os, also sometimes stutters badly even on games like gta san andreas, what is the best os for him?

Bonus Question 2: Should I switch to CachyOS? ive been using linux mint(MATE, xfce has issues with nvidia gpus) for a few months and although i'm enjoying it, i do want to have some better performance and optimization in video games. And I don't mind tinkering(unless it takes my entire life). I use an intel i5 13th gen with RTX 4050, and alongside gaming i also do programming, video editing, and sometimes modelling. I also like to keep things a bit lightweight
