Hey yall,

I've landed on Cachyos for gaming and im enjoying it a lot. I mostly play pvp titles like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, and while im getting smoother performance with cachy than windows, the only thing thats lagging behind a little is the fps.

I did read online that other people were having fps drops when playing like Marvel Rivals on linux for example. For people who play on a pc with higher specs, I just want to know how much of a drop of fps performance you have so I can guage how much I should upgrade my pc (which is happening very soon).

For a reference, my pc is pretty basic right now. My CPU is an amd I3 processor which is what im gonna upgrade first, and I have a nvidia geforce 1650, which I want to switch asap.

Hi all, I think we all know about the HDMI 2.1 situation with AMD GPUs on Linux. I use 1440p120 on my TV, so I thought I got away with it, but I just discovered last night that despite HDR "working", even 2.0 has a problem, revealed by Plasma 6.4's new HDR calibration tool.

My display is capable of 1000 nits full field, but with Plasma's tool over HDMI, there is a clear cutoff at 500 nits, even if I go down to 60Hz. Using the (in)famous CableMatters DP 1,4 ->HDMI adapter, despite being buggy, gives me a full 1000 nits with the calibration tool.

Can anyone confirm/deny similar behavior?

I've been using RTSS to fix poor frame pacing in PC games on Windows for years now, using frame start (early) limiting. I've recently gotten a Steam Deck, and the built-in limiter there seems to use late limiting, which results in less input lag but means most of my games have terrible frame-pacing. I would rather have increased input lag and better frame-pacing.

Is there any Linux equivalent of RTSS that can enforce this kind of framerate limiting on the Deck? I've tried using Mangohud to mixed results. I've basically not played a single game with a completely flat frametime graph.

I’ve been having this issue ever since I installed bazzite on my pc, the issue is that on desktop mode when I hover the mouse over the screen I get these white lines and on gaming mode I get flickering when in the home menu, is there a way to fix these issues without reinstalling the distro?.

Hi, i've recently installed bazzite on my desktop PC because the distro look intriguing and i love steamOS on my legion g s. Everything was working flawlessly, mostly no tinkering, 99% of the things worked out of the box. Yesterday out of nowhere i started getting a weird issue with one of my drives and its contents, mainly its just World of Warcraft and battle.net launcher that are having issues.

All of my drives are automounting to the default directory which is /home/user/drivename but only one of them is having issues. I have 4 drives - 480gb m.2 system drive, 2x2tb HDDs for downloads and backup and a 1tb ssd gamedrive which is the one having issues.
All of the drives are ripped from a windows machine, only the system drive is fresh and only the gamedrive ssd has been formated from NTFS. Both HHDs are still in NTFS and are working flawlessly, everything on those drives functions as it should. The SSD is a different story.

I have a few games installled on the drive and they work without issues and update without issues. Then there is a clean install of retail world of warcraft installed through battle.net which is running through lutris. I've installed the game with no issues, launched it with no issues, logged in and got error - outdated game. So i exit wow, open bnet and the update starts initializing but fails with error message "please log in as administrator". Checking the wow folder there is a .patchsomething file which for some reason doesn't list me as the owner but a TrustedInstaller. So i change the owner, setup the permisions, and the update works, game launches and is the right version and i can play. But every time i quit the game and want to launch it again, bnet detects and update which is 180kb in size, fails again with the admin message and reverts the .patchsomething file owner to a trustedinstaller.

I've tried reinstalling lutris, bnet and wow multiple times to other drives - same issue, even on a system drive
I've tried installing bnet and wow through steam, bottles, then i tried just copying them from another machine, that didn't fix the issue.
I've wiped the drive clean, reformatted, fixed the filesystem through gparted and tried multiple mounting points - nothing.

This issue started happening yesterday, the only thing i've done to the system was switching from bash to zsh. Reverting that did not fix it, going back to a previous ostree also did not fix a thing.

The workaround for this issue takes a few seconds, i just don't want to do that every time i wanna play wow because its annoying.

I'll appreciate any help and tips!

So I have recently tried installing CS2 on OPENS USE and I wanted to see if I could run vs with Wayland instead of x11, from what I could see in ProtonDB alot of people have successfully done this, however it has been a few weeks. I went into the CS2.sh and changed export SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 to Wayland My current launch options are: LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command% -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 180

I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to fix c's not fitting in my monitor as seen in the photo. It cuts of about 1/6 of the game, I have tried full screening it with KDE right click but then the mouse doesn't work.

Thanks

So I have an intel laptop with a core ultra 7 256v and an intel arc 140, I have been looking to enable HDR but nothing is to be found in settings and after looking a bit online I couldn't find anybody actually using it on intel platforms, not even the arch guide has anything for intel, so is there no way to actually use HDR on intel platforms? I am on arch linux.

Hi all,

As per subject today the LTS HWE kernel has been updated on Ubuntu 24.04 to 6.14.0-24.

Unfortunately seems like DS4 (and also DS5) pads can pair and connect to Bluetooth, but then the same can't reconnect (i.e. one has to remove and re-pair the device).

Am I the only one experiencing this? Any workaround/fix?

Thanks!

Ps. I have multiple DS4 and DS5 pads, all present the same behaviour - they pair and stay connected fine, but then they can't reconnect anymore.
