On one hand I really like the idea of Bazzite, on the other I much prefer staying close to the source without another middleman (which would be the case with Bazzite). I have no doubt the Bazzite team does a good job, but I still prefer more minimalistic approaches and Bazzite is a bit too much for my taste. While I definitely do play games I still use my PC for a lot of normal stuff too. And even when playing games I dont nearly use half of all the features AMD offers, basically all I need is an FPS cap and undervolting as well as Steams FPS counter. Anyway, what exactly would I need to do to install on a fresh Fedora install? As far as I see I need to do most of the stuff found in this guide. So most important:

• RPM Fusion
• Flathub
• Mesa drivers
• Video codecs

Now what else would I be missing? My own research so far found the following to be useful/mandatory

• Mangohud (mainly for FPS cap)
• LACT (undervolting the GPU)
• Proton Plus I guess? (didnt quite get what exactly it offers over normal proton but thats mainly because I obviously didnt have to mess with it so far)

What else am I missing? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Recently installed Fedora 42 KDE as my Main OS, and me and my friends were playing some Green Hell, while im playing im trying to move my discord, but that doesnt work. I can't right click, drag anything off it, etc. And with the main monitor if I have something like Spotfiy minimized, It just forbids me to click on it and makes my cursor white with an X in the middle.

This post is most likely gonna sound dumb asff, but I've already tried looking it up before, couldn't find anything. Sorry!

Feel free to skip to here So I’m going to switch to Linux now that windows 10 is dying off. I knew I wouldn’t ever switch to windows 11 for my gaming pc but kinda expected I’d switch to steamOS but that hasn’t manifested (nvidia gpu). The problem is I always run my gpu with an undervolt (rtx 3080). Not undervolted I can see power usage up to around 300 watts while undervolted with a slight overclock (from base) it’s under 200. So we’re talking between the undervolt overclock around 2/3 the power usage for the same performance and less noise. Point is I really am looking around for a good utility to undervolt a nvidia gpu in Linux and I haven’t found anything.

Here Aka what do you use to undervolt nvidia gpus on Linux? Are there good options right now or are we in between stuff because nvidia recently changed something? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I haven't gamed much since then. I remember vkd3d which is dx12 to vulkan translation layer, was lacking back then. And we had something like ACO compiler and stuff for AMD. I don't see nobody talking about that, is it not needed anymore? And many AAA games were not working at the first time so people was compiling wine-tkg or something in Archlinux. Is VKD3D really good now? Like DX11 and DX12?

Heyo, this is a more general graphics question and I couldn't find any answers online.

My PC has an AMD Ryzen 3700X and a RX 5700 and it's capable to play games that are around 10 years old on 1080p Ultra settings with at least 60 fps or more. However, the Ultra graphic settings don't look like Ultra settings ingame.

As an example, I recently finished Uncharted 4, all graphic settings are maxed out but everything like textures, render distances, artifacts etc. look worse than what it looks like on the PS4 version when I look at gameplay videos on YT. It could be a bad port from Playstation to PC but I've noticed it with a lot of other games that are similarly old. Like, for example, when a game from 2014 gets played on a PC with the best GPU that was available at that time on Ultra settings, it looks better than when I play it with my GPU that is more powerful on Ultra settings. I don't understand why it's like that.

Can somebody explain why?

I’m running Bazzite, Nvidia Home Theatre version

When launching PoE2, the game won’t launch. Instead of opening the game it restarts the OS entirely

However, when launched from the Desktop mode of Bazzite, it works just fine?

I’m pretty new to Linux, but if it launches in desktop, just not in Steam OS, I’m hoping this is a simple fix?

Any help would be appreciated! :)

[Edit:] Just to add more info:

I have tried various proton variations

I have set the renderer to DX12 in the production config (I had to do this so it would launch in desktop mode

I have tried using the following "gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 120 --fullscreen -e -- %command%". In the launch options

I have Skyrim SE installed via Steam (Flatpak). Supposedly it works fine with the latest versions of Proton, but I've tried both Proton Experimental and Proton 9, and the latest version of Proton GE 10.10 (via Flatpak) and the game keeps crashing after clicking Play in the launcher menu. Using Proton Experimental I was able to see the Bethesda logo, but then it froze immediately.

The game is a fresh install, no mods installed yet. I have the latest nvidia drivers installed and working (575.64.05), I can play native games just fine and have played other games using Proton GE before. System and kernel updated.

I presume it's related to flatpak permissions, but I don't know what to change in Flatseal. I also have protontricks installed via Flatpak, and any help on how to use it would be appreciated.

Here's the terminal log:

I have been trying to transition to Linux for the past 6 months and in more intensive games, such as No Man Sky and Marvel Rivals, my pc consistently runs out of memory and crashes after ~1hr even when no other programs are open and I've rebooted. I have a RTX 4060, a 11th gen i7, 1 SSD and 16gb of RAM. I can't understand how inefficient my gaming experiece has been (even with optimizations such as ProtonGE). What can I do to solve this issue?

I believe there must be a better way, but I'm posting this because I'm currently having the most stable experience with this method.

Install the latest version of Lutris.

https://lutris.net/downloads

Once Lutris is installed, it will start updating and downloading necessary components. Wait for it to finish installing.

EA App Installation

Currently, running the app by connecting to the source doesn't work smoothly. Just open the link below and install the EA App as a regular application.

https://lutris.net/games/ea-app/

After the installation is complete, it will ask you to log in. Proceed with the login process. Once logged in, close the EA App using the menu button in the upper left corner.
Once closed, open the configuration window of the EA App in the Lutris game menu and disable esync in the Runner Options. Change the DPI option in the lower section if needed. Click the save button in the upper right corner and close the window, then restart the EA App.

Disabling esync makes several games (The Sims 4, Dragon Age II, etc.) including the EA App run more stably. It solves the lot loading CTD issue in The Sims 4.

Game Installation and Execution

Game installation and execution are done through the EA App, just like in Windows.

Caution:

Sometimes, when the EA App is launched, only a black screen appears and the app becomes unresponsive. Force-stopping it in Lutris and restarting it will solve the problem.

Sometimes, when a game is launched, a login window appears due to a DRM check failure. Close the window and restart the game.

If the EA App itself fails to update, reinstall the EA App following the above. You can safely delete the newly registered EA App from the Lutris game menu.

You can register games in the Lutris game menu separately, but it's useless because they are actually executed through the EA App.

Gamescope cannot be used.

If you want to clean reinstall the EA App for any reason, first move the contents of "$HOME/Games/ea-app/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games" to another location, delete $HOME/Games/ea-app, and then install it. Once the installation is complete, restore $HOME/Games/ea-app/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games to its original location to save the time it takes to download the games.

I've been using Ubuntu with an NVIDIA GPU as my daily driver for about 6 years. Recently, I got back into VR after giving WiVRn and ALVR a try. Both worked perfectly for my needs, so much so that I upgraded to a Quest 3 and bought some QoL accessories.

Now, I'd like to upgrade my computer, and after so many years, I'm also interested in switching to a better OS. But honestly, I'm kind of lost, since Ubuntu has been my go-to for so long.

Also, I'm switching to everything AMD, since from what I keep reading, VR on Linux works better with AMD, and overall gaming and OS experience is smoother? Still doing my research on that.

Current PC

This is what I'm rocking at the moment:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
  • Firmware 2301
  • GNOME 46
  • X11
• CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 × 12
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (8 GB)
• Mobo: ROG STRIX B360-F GAMING (I know, very old)
• Storage: 1 TB Kingston KC600 2.5" and mSATA SSD
• Ram: 32 GB RAM

I’ve been able to play every game I throw at it. Cyberpunk 2077 works perfectly. Half-Life: Alyx via WiVRn has its quirks, but performance is great. VRChat works, though the framerate is questionable in some worlds.

wlx-overlay-s doesn’t open on my OS, though. Really want to get this working.

New System I’d Like to Buy. Will This Play Well With Linux?

Here’s what I want to build:

• GPU: PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6
• Mobo: ASRock AMD X870E Taichi Lite Ryzen Socket AM5 DDR5 DIMMs 8200 256 GB CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core, 32-Thread
• RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 AMD EXPO Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer
• Storage: WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,250 MB/s - WDS200T4X0E

I'm not an expert at building computers, but this is the list I came up with. Again, going all-AMD because I keep hearing their hardware plays better with Linux overall.

Help Choosing a New OS, Or Should I Stay on Ubuntu?

I considered Arch and willing to put in the hours/days to learn it, but have zero experience and afraid of upgrades breaking the system. Again, I'm inexperienced with Arch and maybe there's a way to enjoy a stable experience?

Also looking at Bazzite, but is it good for things beyond gaming? I do a lot of development, video editing, and some streaming. The one thing I don't like is it being immutable. I'm not saying that's bad, but I love tinkering and read it's a bit more difficult when the OS is immutable.

My Computer Uses Cases

• Development
  • Godot (for VR and Standard)
  • C++, Rust, OpenGL, and Vulkan DEV environments
  • Mainly want to focus on VR games and applications for Linux
• Gaming and VR are my main priorities. If a game doesn’t work on Linux, I skip it until it does. Not a dealbreaker, I’m not going back to Windows.
• Video Editing (I use Kden Live, love it)
• Blender
• Occasional Twitch Streaming using OG OBS.

Any hardware or OS suggestions are more than welcome. Sorry if this was too long, just wanted to include as many details as possible.
