Can't run it under vulkan

Hey folks,

I’m ready to ditch Windows and make the switch to Linux, but I’m not sure which distro to start with. I’m looking for something that’s:

• Easy to install
• Modern and sleek in appearance
• Suitable for gaming

I know there are plenty of threads and resources out there, but I’d really appreciate some curated recommendations to help streamline my starting point.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Wie schon oben gesagt, es gibt kein verdammtes Tutorial welches grundlegende Probleme aufführt, in jedem scheiß Video wird nur behauptet das alles ohne Probleme klappe und man da nur Vorteile von hätte. Erstens, Cachy OS Discover angeblich ganz einfach per Konsole aber nope Fehlanzeige "Melde dich bei Cachy OS" eines der tausenden kleinen Probleme. Open Razer wird nicht geöffnet geschweige denn angezeigt sodass man nichts an der Maus einstellen kann, welche Aufgrund von Bluetooth nur auf Linux alle paar Sekunden die Verbindung verliert was vorher nie der Fall war. Spotify nur über Umwege usw usw.. Als Anfänger einfach nur noch frustrierend. Aber am schlimmsten finde ich das in jedem scheiß Video gezeigt wird das alle Festplatten ohne Probleme gehen würden, was halt faktisch nicht der Fall ist wenn man diese vorher über mehrere Umwege erst einhängen darf, welches dann nach dem Neustart nicht mehr erkannt wird, und die Spiele die runtergeladen worden im Nichts verschwunden sind. Dadurch kann ich diese Festplatte aufeinmal nicht mehr "einhängen". Super. Sitze ich nun da mit 2Tb nicht nutzbarem Speicher und keinem einzigen Menschen der darüber im Internet etwas schreibt.

Vielleicht ist es ganz gut das Linux so klein ist wie es nun eben ist, da ich jedem der auf diese Videos ala " Tausend gründe warum Linux besser ist" reinfällt, die Daumen drücke sein System nicht komplett zu rippen.

place your bets; will we get this as a hotfix in 580 or will we see it in a few months with 585? either way, got a strong feeling that it's actually close now

Hi,people said "Running games without GameMode is unplayable.",They are right. My average fps on Counter Strike 2 is 45!! is there an better Compability version for Cs2 or How can install game mode and Remove this error??;

"" meson.build:90:17: ERROR: Dependency "libsystemd" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake ""
Note: I Have the latest version of libsystemd and CMake but i dont know pkgconfig. Can someone help or is there a better Virtual Machine than Oracle VirtualBox??

Steam compability:Proton 10.0-2 (beta v)!!

Thanks.

TLDR: Your mileage might vary, newer CPUs might not gain a lot of benefits from CPU optimisations; drivers, hardware configuration and possibly your Proton prefix will have the biggest impact.

TSIR (Too Short, I'm Reading):

I just wanted to share some recent experience, after I watched a video showing that on this person's hardware, CachyOS didn't make any difference in performance, and Fedora was even slightly better: https://youtu.be/RlqqLR7Vi_s?si=JHdrzBYD6L_CYdAP

This video was soon after kernel 6.15 was released and my theory was that 6.15 had closed the gap somewhat.

Anyway, I have tried CachyOS, also the CachyOS kernel on Fedora and the CachyOS kernel on NixOS.

I have relatively new hardware – a Ryzen 5 7600X and an AMD 9070.

I found the same results. Cachy was better on one game by about 1 FPS and the 1% lows were the same as Fedora's.

With CachyOS I noticed that game-performance made my CPU really hot, it went from hitting 80 degrees max (usually) to 95 degrees (this wasn't a cooling issue, more on that shortly). So I opted out from using game-performance because the CPU got hotter and I got no gains either.

The kicker is that for a 7600X CPU, a hotter CPU can mean less performance. If the CPU needs to get hotter to boost its frequency, it will throttle itself sooner. The 7600X is built to run hot, it's what it uses to decide how much to crank up its frequency.

Anyway, the gist of it was that the Fedora kernel (currently at 6.15.8) was just fine on my CPU.

NixOS with the CachyOS Kernel (6.16) and mesa-git drivers also performed within margin of error of Fedora and CachyOS.

What resulted in a massive performance increase (15 to 20 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn), was actually undervolting the CPU and adjust the curves in the Performance Boost Overdrive settings (PBO) in the bios.

Now my CPU hardly ever goes above 60 degrees while running at max frequency, and on top of that I have a performance increase, as I said.

There are tutorials on how to do this, I am not going to give instructions myself because I am no expert.

The other thing that boosted performance (a few FPS for each of these changes, minor increase) was turning on NTsync and use the Proton Cachy (on all distros). Proton GE lagged a bit behind, even when it has NTSync enabled and Proton Cachy was still using Fsync. But, when using the same Proton prefix, NTsync always resulted in a few more FPS.

Also bear in mind that CachyOS might feel snappier when you use your desktop because they sped up the animation of KDE considerably. It's a very common trick, often used in mobile phones.

I am not saying that CachyOS is useless, I'm saying that a lot of the optimisations target the CPU and your specific CPU might not need help. Your mileage might vary, you might get immense benefit. It is also dependent on the games you play.

Also if you cap your FPS in games then some performance optimisations will not have a major effect.

Another thing I should point out – for gaming your graphic drivers will make the biggest difference. My other half decided to use the mesa-git drivers in her Bazzite install and gained 20 FPS in the Horizon Benchmark (if you are curious: you type "ujust mesa-git", Bazzite downloads the drivers into a folder without touching your system's stable drivers. Then you add a launch option for each game you want to use them with in Steam).

I have mesa-git in my Fedora installation so I always run them, but also I know that something can break if I do that (good thing I have a good snapshotting set up).

Custom schedulers might help you out. They didn't for me. Gamemode might help you out (don't use it on CachyOS as they have ananicy). For my Fedora install it always resulted in a slightly lower FPS average and 1% lows.

I could make a benchmarking video but given that now I no longer have CachyOS installed, I wouldn't be able to show those benchmarks anymore.

The games I benchmarked were Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Black Myth Wukong, Cyberpunk and Monster Hunter.

Black Myth was an interesting one as it was the one game that, while it said the 1% lows were the same as Cachy on Fedora, the absolute lowest frame rate was lower on Fedora. I didn't test that one on NixOS as I wasn't using it at the time.

Another thing to note is that FSR 4 does cause a small performance impact. Example in Horizon, I got about 5/6 FPS less with it on. I'll take that, as it looks better.

Figured I'd get this information out there just so any would be VM gamers are aware.

EA Javelin has VM detection. I don't know how deep the VM detection goes, but if you're not interested in potentially risking a ban, don't bother trying to play this game.

I built a new PC on January and its now time to update some peripherals.

For gamepads, im looking at the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 or the Gamesir Cyclone 2. I basically want TMR/Hall joysticks, a dock, gyroscope, the works, but i dont want another XboX Elite Controller (lasted literally 9 months) or another Dualsense (the sticks last max of 2 years before getting drift). Both of those look like good options but i wanted to check if anyone has experiences with their software or them working on Linux at all.

I use Arch and OpenSUSE (main pc and streambox in livingroom) so would be nice if someone knows if they work out of the box or require messing around with udevs or they straight up suck at doing something.

Same with Mouses, the keyboard im buying is the Keychron K2 HE and i know the Keychron web software works well on linux and i have a HHKB that works out of the box in linux if you put it on the Mac mode. The other alternatives for the mouses are Lamzu and Mchose but i know NOTHING about their software, so again, would be good to get some opinions.

TL;DR: Mchose, Lamzy, Gamesir, 8BitDo software for customization on Linux, Yai or Nai?

I'd be fine with Bf6 requiring Windows and its kernel level anti cheat, but it also actually requires secure boot. Making dual boot basically infeasible if you need DKMS modules on your Linux. You'd need to manually sign everything which is a total pain in the ass... I've heard nobody talking about that yet. Even dual-boot will be unfeasible!!
