I just learned that there are several discord alternatives on linux?

Any alternative do you recommend? I'm looking for one with mods.

Can I be banned for using it?

Like title says, I was able to install steam on a fresh F42 install but every time I launch I get an error. I investigated it in the terminal and it has something to do with some text file called "steambootstrapper_english.txt". Or maybe it doesn't. Who knows.

Relevant log:

So basically, I have a somewhat unique setup, and I would like to make the move to Linux gaming, but I need certain features and software replacements that I am having issues finding. I am fully aware a solution to my problems may not exist yet, and if they do they may require tinkering. I am very experienced in tinkering, 10 years ago I did do some tech support for my local Free Geek and learned to do some stuff on Mint back then, and I have dabbled in Ubuntu and (*edit, I had the wrong distro originally) Manjaro.

So, here is my current relevant setup to what I'm asking:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

64gb 6000mhz ram

Rtx 4080

Elgato Wave 3 mic

Corsair keyboard and full Corsair RGB setup (this isn't 100% necessary, I usually just have it set to white), but iCUE controls my fan setup, and I would like something that could adjust say, my bottom fans, to my GPU temperature as iCUE currently does.

Logitech G502X mouse, I use the 3 buttons on the side of this mouse for discord/in game PTT. I REALLY need these 3 buttons to work for PTT, so some software to make that work.

I know Nvidia drivers are okay, but not great, that's fine. I do make content (sometimes stream, but mostly youtube), so my main issue here is I use Elgato Wave Link for my audio, and I need sources split for streaming and recording, and filters for my background noise and such. (Link to how it looks, the ui is very friendly and intuitive: https://imgur.com/a/GIdjc2U)

Common games I play that would need support that I'm unsure if they have: Escape from Tarkov, Baldurs Gate 3, League of Legends, EVE Online, Pokemon Infinite Fusion, Call of Duty, Minecraft just to name my more recent go-to's.

I did try installing (*edit, I had the wrong distro originally) Manjaro on my 2nd drive and ran into some snags, mainly around my audio, and I was having an issue finding something to replace it. Also, for some reason, I'm not sure if I messed something up in the install, but my Manjaro install is unable to access any of my Windows files, and my Windows install can't even SEE my Manjaro partition, it's like it doesn't exist.

I am totally fine with tinkering, I think I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Correct software replacements, easiest distro (or more compatible distro (Bazzite or Pop OS are new to me)), suggestions etc. all welcome, please and thank you good community.

Hi! Complete newbie here. I want to be able to see notification toasts while playing my GOG games on Heroic launcher. I looked a bit into it and was at least able to find out comet. I tried to kinda install it but I just could not understand it. So would like to kindly ask the help of anyone who can explain how to install Comet to me like I am five. Thanks!

Btw if anyone wants to figure it out here is comet: https://github.com/imLinguin/comet

hi!

a few months ago I asked the same question and got the answers, 'use lutris' and 'use proton'. since proton didn't work, I used lutris. All was well and all, until the last update got released. I had to reinstall the game when, surprise surprise, while I had correctly uninstalled the game, after reinstalling, the game showed up twice in lutris, and none of them actually did anything when I clicked them, on lutris or in my applications list.

uninstalling them only removed them from lutris, not my applications list, and reinstalling once again, it showed up twice more in the app list, and not once in lutris. at this point, I tried uninstalling lutris to reinstall it, and software threw an error telling me that there were no lutris packages to uninstall, while still clearly showing the 'open' and 'uninstall' buttons.

at this point, since i'd been wanting to change distros anyway, I said 'F this' and nuked my 'buntu to put fedora instead.

I don't really wanna go through all that again, so can anyone teach me how to install Genshin (through AAGL if possible) without having the same visual glitches I ran into when I first installed it?

Hi all.

i wanted to play this game but unlucky for me proton is not cooperating. i tried the following:

- tried to run with Linux runtime
- tried to run with proton experimental/hotfix/GE
- tried to run with the same proton versions but with the command protontricks 1283410 win7 wmp11

with linux runtime i can see steam overlay but game does not start at all. black screen + no audio,
with proton versions without the command all i got was a black screen with game audio playing normally, with protontricks command i get the same but i can see game cursor on screen as well. i am still pretty noobish with the whole linux ecosystem so i really don't know what else i could try to make this work... i posted on here because unlike Batman Arkham GOTYs (which i gave up trying to run) this should be linux native and yet it's not running so maybe there's something wrong with my setup.

System specs:
- kernel: linux
- OS: Arch
- GPU: Nvidia 4070 super
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800 X3D

many thanks to anyone kind enough to help!

Hi guys, first post over here.

I'm considering switching to Linux and I’d love to get your input before taking the plunge. My use case is pretty basic outside of gaming – mostly office work and browsing – but gaming is important, especially World of Warcraft.

Here are my key questions:

1 Does World of Warcraft run well on Linux today?

2 Are there any issues with performance, updates, anti-cheat, etc.?

3 How about addon managers like WowUp?

4 Does WowUp work on Linux (native or through Wine/Proton)?

5 Any good alternatives for managing WoW addons?

6 WeakAuras and other UI tools – do they work fine in-game under Linux?

7 Peripheral support:

How’s the support for Razer devices (mouse, keyboard)? Any open-source tools or reliable software?

8 Spotify and other daily-use apps – any limitations or workarounds?

9 Which Linux distro would you recommend for gaming?

I’m looking for something stable but not too restrictive. Steam and Battle.net access are a must.

I’ve got a bit of technical background so I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty, but I still want a good balance of stability and ease of use.

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback and recommendations!

I'm just very unhappy with ms and hate what they are doing - I wish macOS supported DX12 and an eGPU but it doesn't really work. If I can find a distro that does everything and is fully protected with things like recovery if something goes wrong - I just want to use it as a gaming machine with a 4000 / 5000 series card

is it possbile that something can just work without any issues?

alternatively is there a way to disable all the crap on win11?

I’ve been using POP OS for over 3 months now and so far love it as it does just work and all my software is simply on their store except for Vmware. I mostly live in the browser (Edge) and use VLC player from time to time. When I’m doing anything else it is gaming through Steam or Lutris and I’m wondering what is better in terms of performance while keeping the same stability that I have with POP OS. Currently I can install the 570 drivers but I’m scared to as I don’t know what I’d do if my screen turned black and I had to roll back or something through the terminal.

I also use OBS, Handbrake, Libreoffice, Dolphin Emulator, Retroarch, CEMU, RPCS3

Ryzen 7 9700X

2080Ti

Samsung 990 Evo +

This is my setup

Currently I’m not really even running into issues it is mainly over me being bored of POP OS as it does just work but the thing is they run on older kernels and they are still on the 565 drivers with the 6.12.10 Kernel

Thank you for the help

BTW I would love to get a 9070XT soon and I don’t want to manually update things to get it to work and I’m wondering if even next year POP OS will work out of the box with that GPU which is when I plan on buying it (Saving up for it)

Hey! I’ve been working on this game for 3 years. It’s currently at version 0.9, and even after 1.0, I’m not planning to stop! I've got so many more ideas I want to bring in!

About TerraForge:
You manage a mining operation, gather resources, and craft items to sell for profit.
Run your own shop, gain fame, and unlock more stuff as you go. You can even decorate it! (it give useful boosts)

Upgrade your mining tools, purchase better mining licenses, and dig deeper underground.
You might even discover ancient relics that grant unique powers and boost your efficiency even further.

So yeah. It's a cozy mining sim with crafting and shop management. Turmoil inspired me a lot!

Hallo,

Arbeite mit Vegas 22 Pro, W11, i9 11900

Hatte bis vor kurzem eine RTX2060 unter PCIe3 und erreichte beim 4K Rendern zu HEVC (ohne Effekte) ca 32 fps.

(das fand ich entspr. dem Preis Leistungs-Verhältnis als gut)

Da jetzt zunehmend 60fps Material ins Spiel kam verdoppelte sich also die Renderzeit.

Hab das Motherboard gewechselt auf ASUS Z590 E mit PCIe4.

Grafikkarte gewechselt zu RTX4070 Super.

Trotzdem herreiche ich jetzt auch nur 36 bis 37 fps beim 4K Rendern in HEVC.

Meine eigentliche Frage:

Vegas hat ja ein Fenster wo Dir einiges angezeigt wird beim Rendern.

Was auffällt ist, das Vegas quasi zyklisch arbeitet, also immer hin- und her wechselt zwischen einem Rendervorgang (ca 2 oder 3 sec) und einem Datentransportvorgang. (etwa gleichlang)

Während im Teilzyklus Rendern zwischen 60 und 100 fps angezeigt wird (meist zw. 70 u 80), kommt durch den folgenden Datentransportvorgang - wo das Rendern steht, nur ein Durchschnitt von ca 36 - 37 fps am Ende heraus.

Ist das normal bei Vegas, oder deutet das auf eine Schwachstelle in meinem PC hin die ich verbessern könnte?

... es wäre ja schön wenn man den Wert der während des Render-Intervalles angezeigt bekommt, dauerhaft hätte?

I was hoping to get a 9070 XT, but the prices are absurd compared to their nVidia counterparts, so I'm looking into buying a 5070 instead. My problem however is that I need Wayland for a variety of reasons, and my experience with my old 1080 GTX with Wayland was horrible a few years back. What kind of issues seem to exist with Wayland + Nvidia in 2025? Does VRR only work on one screen? Do parts of the screen still render weirdly? Thank you.
