My friend is on Windows and when I remote play to him, it he sees this:

I don't know why this happens I tested with other friends too and they also saw the same thing, even on other games. I didn't have this always, rn I have intel arc b580 and the game looks normal for me, but for my friend it isn't. Before I had a GTX 1660 ti and then it was normal, so I'm just wondering if any of you have the same problem or a solution to it.

I'm not a English speaker, so I used Google Translate. Sorry.

I was able to play the game without any problems but

As the title says, I quit the steam game like 'kingdom come deliverance 2' and it's still taking up a lot of memory

Before running the game on my computer, the OS took up 1.9 GB of memory, but when I quit the game, the OS took up 7-8 GB of memory still.

I verified that the game process was completely killed

I have a fresh install of Linux on my laptop, so I don't have any other programs running in the background except Steam.

This is my information.

I am using Ubuntu 24.10 and up until this point I was rocking AMD card, but today, I got rtx 5070, and Ubuntu driver manager says there are no drivers to install. I installed latest drivers via synaptic, but it doesn't seem to work still. Why is this happening?

And no, card is not bricked, I tested on windows partition - works flawlessly.

Thank you!

So I'm getting fed up with windows for the last time and I was thinking about changing to linux. I know how to manage linux systems and my focus is gaming and server hosting, and most important of all STABLE. I was thinking of gentoo (since my experience was been for the most part positive) and artix (for the same reason as gentoo thing is it isnt as stable). I prefer open-rc if possible, since it is the one i am used to. Thank you for any replies I highly appreciate it :)

If anyone is daily driving these distros I'd love to hear your side of the story, pro and cons of the distros etc

When I enabled the compatibility mode it auto set to "proton hotfix" but most of the posts I've looked at say to use proton 8.0.3, but there are a lot of modes and I just want to know the differences and educate myself a bit

Specs: RTX 3050 Mobile (4gb), AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, 16GB DDR4 RAM

I just got rocket league through heroic launcher, and in gameplay I'm getting 70-80fps.

I actually haven't tested this game when I was running Windows 11, but looking through some "fps calculator" websites, they say that on average I should be getting well above 120fps. I know there will be lesser frames on linux, but going from well above 120 to 80 seems like a massive drop.

Is this expected or do I need to tweak things?

I am also aware that these websites might not be very accurate and that's why I'm asking.

Hey all, since yesterday I can't play Genshin through Lutris.

Every time I open the launcher and I click start game it closes for a few seconds and then it opens again but the actual game never launches.

I had been playing for about a week or so without problems and I can't use any other launcher because it crashes aswell, Lutris was the only one that worked.

I'm on Fedora 42 and Gnome 48 (I updated yesterday night thinking it might be the reason it wasn't opening but it didn't fix it) I was using Fedora 41 and Gnome 47 when the problem started.

Thanks in advance.

Hello since the game is now open sourced. How can I run it on my linux machine debian 12 KDE right now? I heard that some are working on porting the game to be installed on linux right a way. But I can't wait and I want to play it today.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

i used linux (arch btw) for 6 months here is my 2 cents

• 95% of games run through a compatibility layer and you will see less performance on those titles

• you need to check if games will perform fine or even function at all before buying/downloading

• you will run into niche issues with games and there wont be enough information on how to fix it/what is causing it

• you cant play titles with kernel level anticheat which is fine/perferred for many linux users but might be a deal breaker for some

• you will spend time tinkering with launch options, compatibility layer versions, wine tweaks, things like gamemode, mangohud. I, for one, started to miss the plug and play nature of windows.

I've been trying to get KOTOR 1 + 2 working on my EndeavourOS partition and not having any luck. The Windows versions via proton won't launch at all and while the native version of KOTOR2 launches, it runs at an unplayably low frame rate.

I still have a Xubuntu partition that I'm migrating over from so I decided to try running them there and both native and Windows versions ran flawlessly!

I tried running KOTOR2 from the terminal and on EndeavourOS it logged:

libGL error: glx: failed to create dri3 screen libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau

which it didn't log on Xubuntu.

I've tried a bunch of stuff like switching to different nVidia drivers (nvidia vs nvidia-open), installing Mesa and running with different proton versions without any luck. I'm at a loss for what to try next. The fact that they're running on Xubuntu makes me think that it probably just has some packages that are installed by default that I'm missing from my Endeavour install. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm using Hyprland on Arch (not sure if the WM is relevant) and I use Lutris/WINE to play my games.

Now, when I'm having a game open on one monitor and move my curser to the other monitor, the audio from the game cuts out (but the game keeps running fine). I play a lot of slow-paced games and being able to tab out while still being able to hear audio alerts is quite important. Is there a way to keep the audio output running when the game window loses focus?

I switched back to windows a couple months ago simply because x11 being too laggy when moving things around, but good for gaming, then wayland being much smoother than x11 but running elden ring like crap for example. How do i fix this problem? i have tried multiple distros like cachyos, nobara, endeavour and kept getting to this conclusion. I have a 4070.

Hello,

I recently installed Ubuntu Server on my server and Mint on my laptop and really stating to enjoy the Linux experience. I'm now looking to adding Linux to my main rig which is still on Windows.

My questions are, I have windows 11 installed today on my main drive. I have 3 other drives which are loaded with games and data. Then I have a 5th drive which is completely empty (2TB).

1. Can I install Mint/POP_OS on my empty drive without causing any issues to my windows drive.

2. Can I use the data (installed games etc.) from current drives on my freshly installed Linux distro?

3. Since the disk is 2TB, can I make a partion (how big for OS?) and use rest as data folder for both OS?

My main usage for Linux would be daily usage but with gaming in focus. So please, any recommendations on distro is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I was thinking of switching to linux. I have i3-1005G1 cpu with 630 UHD igpu with 12 gb ram

I was able to play gta v on windows 11 (not with many fps but it ran at about 30-35 fps. I would say it was smooth experience.)

Would the game run closer to that fps and other games that do not have native support with linux.

Hey, I switched back to windows for a couple of months after using arch for 6 months as a newbie, but i switched back because davinci resolve sucks on linux (i have the studio version as well). But i want to switch back to something that won't make my life harder, but it isn't outdated on stuff, especially Nvidia drivers. Help? or should I go back to arch ( i dont want to things just break so easily lol but it was fun while it lasted)
