Hello, good morning, afternoon or evening, I am a normal Windows user but for some time I have wanted to switch to Linux, I have had many problems with Windows and Linux has caught my attention, I already have the Ubuntu version installed but I have seen that it is not so special for me. I have only installed Spotify, brave and made some adjustments. If it helps, I am studying systems engineering so I have a bit of knowledge of the OS, I need you to recommend a distro that suits me, if it is of any use, I want it for programming languages, daily use such as listening to music, watching videos, using streaming applications, editing the wallpaper and also what I mostly do with my laptop is play epic games, steam, the xbox app and ea. I also use programs like visual studio and so on, I know that the epic games store is not native on Linux but I understand that it can be emulated or something like that, what distro do you recommend? I would greatly appreciate your support and I will be reading them.

PS: As a last question, can my external controller software be installed? For example, my keyboard is from the terport brand, my control is wired from the powerA brand and my mouse is from the primus brand and I have a question if their software can be installed?

I'm seeing that the EA app is not working for battlefront 2 (2017). I would like to play it. I'm dual booting Windows on a different SSD right now and can play on that but I would rather use Linux if I can. Does anyone have a work around?

I'm seeing a lot of people labeling it as borked on proton db but I figured more people could see this here.

Thanks in advance!

With a spell system that somewhat reminded me a little of the amazing Baba Is You, the upcoming Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times looks damn fun.

It's not many, but some games like Tekken 7, Helldivers 1, and Yu-Gi-oh Master Dual don't launch in full screen when I launch them. Going into the settings and changing from windowed to full screen solves the problem, but I have to do this every time I launch the game.

And it seems to be an inconsistent issue, because I managed to solve this problem in Yu-Gi-oh Master Dual by switching from Wayland to X11, but after that, I switched back to Wayland, and the error didn't recur. However, this didn't work in Tekken 7. Any ideas?

Additional information: - I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - The CPU and GPU are AMD

I had the frustrating issue of the game constantly crashing whenever I dared to leave my lot and also randomly in between because why not. Getting into a hottub? Crash. Going to a park? Crash. Mixing a drink? Crash. This is on Steam via proton.

Sims crashlogs are obfuscated because how dare you solve your own problem so that was a dead end and don't get me started on the lack of a sane auto-save system.

I googled a lot, couldn't find much info about it on Linux (most crashes I found online were on startup not during play), googled some more and stumbled across a lone thread advising DX9, so to save the next idiot some time. This is the solution:

force DX9, you can change it via config file or ingame

Also don't give EA money but yk. Too late for me.

The main reason I changed to Mint was due to lots of lags and stuffs in my windows. And I didn’t actually used to play game on pc at the time. But now I have some time, I want to play some games . If there are any, which you guys are using, please suggest me with the process to download it for free

Hi

I have made a post with not much success, so I will try to post a question in a different way.

If you are using HDR in gaming with this setup please speak up.

------------------------------------------------------

Fedora Linux 42 (fully updated and newest version)

KDE

Wayland

Steam (flatpak)

Proton-GE 10-10

Radeon graphic card

HDR screen

Newest MESA driver of course

And run this command in Steam Launch options:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

----------------------------------------------------------------

My problem is that the colors looks all washed out when HDR is turned on.

I have tried HDR in Resident Evil 4 Remake and Diablo 4 and both are washed out and ugly.

I have tried running HDR on my Dual-boot on Windows in Battlefield 1 and i looks great.

I have tried setting the Display configuration for "prefer efficiency " and after that "prefer color accuracy" and nothing really changed.

I can see old post where people asked about washed out colors and different responses was given, but nothing useful

I am asking this question in this matter, because I need to find people with this exact setup and hear what they did to solve their problem, because if people are using Nvidia or another distro, the solution might be totally different

The rest of my setup is this

9800x3D

9070 XT

HDR 1000 Screen connected through DisplayPort 2,1

please speak up
