So I got the arc b580 12gb because I wanted something with open source drivers and it caught my curiosity (specs are in the second image)

Main tasks I do is play games like: no man sky, Detroit become human, maybe elite dangerous... Maybe in the future even some 3d modeling.

My question here is, what are the main things to follow to get the best experience, I can't find like a guide or all in one video that explains like to set it up under linux, I found only benchmarks.

Choosing an linux os over another matters? Like you can understand im running nixOS now, it is the best options? I've heard of cachy OS, Nobara, garadua....

What configuration should I apply to get a smooth experience?

Hi all, I'm trying to play The First Descendant on Linux Mint 22.2. The game immediately closes after the initial launch screen pops up.

I've tried using both Proton Experimental and Proton 9.0.4 as listed in Proton DB. I also tried putting in the launch options

PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 gamemoderun %command% -dx12 -useallavailablecores -notexturestreaming

for both, but that didn't work either. My Linux distribution is on an ext4 format, not NTFS, so that isn't the issue.

Sometimes the game, after closing, tells me there is insufficient hardware support, but this game runs on my Windows partition (on the same computer), so that isn't it either. I checked under Driver Manager and my nvidia drivers are up to date (version 550).

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

I have been trying to download and play a pokemon fangame called xenoverse for quite some time now, except I cant make it work. If I try to download it off lutris, it returns an error (return code 23296) and says "the NVIDIA driver was unable to open 'libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.580.82.09'" despite having it downloaded and finding it in my files. If I try to download it myself and make it work, it stops downloading mid-in-game download and says:

could not allocate 8192 bytes Monitored process exited. No return code

Both me and my brother are left dumbfounded- does anyone here know what to do?

Thanks for all the support I've received from this sub. I thought I'd let you know that my game, 'The Home County' has officially launched on Steam!

In 'The Home County' you build a village in the British countryside. Each villager has a profession that you'll see them actually do in your village. You'll tend to your villager's needs, manage their production, pursue hobbies and decorate your village. It's all inspired by Edwardian Britain, so you can choose whether to become a Lord/Lady or run your village as equals.

It launched today on Steam:

I’m looking for a laptop to run Linux (mainly for development, some light gaming, and everyday tasks). I’m torn between two options:

MSI Thin A15

Acer Nitro V

I’d like to know:

1. Which one has better Linux compatibility in terms of hardware?

2. How do you handle NVIDIA drivers on these machines to avoid headaches?

3. Any good or bad experiences with these brands when running Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc.)?

I’ve read that NVIDIA can be tricky sometimes, so I’d love to know what distros or setups you use to minimize issues.

Thanks for any advice or experiences!

An unholy fusion of Risk of Rain 2 with Vampire Survivors is what you'll find with Megabonk and it absolutely freaking rocks.

I use Faugus Launcher via flatpak to play WoW and for what seems nothing now when trying to play Word of Warcraft the windows opens and closes, than open and closes in a really fast loop... This just happend today and worked fine yesterday...

I know things on Linux usually don't stop working out of nowhere, but I really don't know what it is happening... And I don't know how to exactly get logs or how to debug it, so if you can

I use Debian 13.1, GTX 1060 nvidia card with 550 driver. I use GNOME 48 with x11 since wayland was flickering.

I've tried reinstalling the game, updating my system (there was one system update, but I did by Gnome Software so I don't know exactly what was updated... I've also restarted the PC, THE UPDATE WAS DONE AFTER THIS PROBLEM). I've saw that some fonts was missing on WoW... Like a icon with the [] usually when a font couldn't be loaded... I've intalled MS Core fonts but still the same issue... (I've saw a really old post on a forum about something with fonts but nhe) Also I have removed all my add-ons

Edit: same thing happens in wayland

So I buy HDR QD-OLED display.

• If I disable HDR, color is over saturated
• If I enable HDR in both physical display and GNOME setting, color looks normal
• I can see the slight black color difference too much so I can see clearly in a game which render dark scene and I were suppose to use flashlight to see
• The display completely turn of light for a part of black area in screen it looks like strange

There are so many outdated guide about enabling HDR on steam/proton game like setting environment variables, gamescope, etc.

What is the latest best practice for HDR?

Hello, I was playing Watchdogs 2 the last few days, everything was going well until I noticed extreme lag when beeing in Nethack view which stays even when going Back to normal view. When this happens I can go back to the main menu and back into my safe and everything is back to normal, until I enter Nethack view again.

The game runs via Ubisoft Connect, which runs via Proton 9.0.4.

So i have been tryna get WuWa working on my arch linux setup since yesterday, got most of it working, i am using proton-ge 10-10 through lutris, the game works and all but each time after 5-15 mins, i get booted from the server due to internet loss. While i do use a perpetual DNS and VPN i have tried to play the game with it on and off and i get the same result which leads me to belive that its not an issue from my side. Also with and without the VPN and DNS my network speed is consistent, atleast consistent enough for browsing/listening to music/installing packages etc.

Fyi i have played ZZZ on this same setup with the same conditions and it never gave me issues. I'll be grateful if someone could help me out with this issue because i liked the game during launch but due to personal reasons couldnt follow up playing it.
