As the title suggests, I’m wondering if there is an alternative app that allows for dynamic control of my monitors display settings similar to AMD Adrenaline’s Custom Color settings?

Im running CachyOS (dual-booted) with a 7900XTX, and on windows I can use adrenaline to change brightness, contrast, saturation on the fly. I’ve looked into the KDE settings to try to tweak these values but to no avail.

If there’s anything like this, please enlighten me as I like Arc Raiders to have a bit more color than games stock values.

So after dealing with random microstutter on Windows for a long time, I finally decided to try something different. I tried everything on Windows — drivers, settings, tweaks, fresh installs — but I could never fully get rid of the stuttering. At some point it just became too frustrating.

A few weeks ago I switched to Linux gaming, specifically Fedora 43, mostly out of curiosity and desperation. And honestly… I’m pretty happy so far. The installation was also absolutely easy. Just install linux and all drivers are already installed. Download Steam, Download ProtonPlus and lets go.

All of my main games run really well:

• Diablo 4
• ARC Raiders
• Dead by Daylight
• Sons of the Forest
• Palworld

I know Anti Cheat Games not work but i also keep my Windows as Dual Boot.

Performance feels smooth, input feels responsive, and most importantly: I don’t notice the microstutter that plagued me on Windows. Frame pacing just feels more consistent overall. I wasn’t expecting such a noticeable difference.

Of course it’s not perfect and there’s still some tinkering involved, but for my use case it’s been a very positive experience.

Has anyone else switched to Linux because of stuttering issues on Windows and noticed similar improvements?

Setup:
GPU: 7900 XT
CPU: 3700x (i know, bottleneck. in a few days my 5700x will arrive)
RAM: 32 GB 3200 mhz
SSD

Tried it on a bottle, asked to install C++ Redistributable, installed both via its own option and dependencies, still crashed.

Also somehow now every game in that bottle crashes (whatever the game did, broke the whole thing I guess), so switched to another bottle, installed Silent Hill F again.

Installed MS C++ via dependencies in bottles, now I get:

"A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine."

GPU is AMD 7900xtx.

Also it's the GOG version.

Edit: Switching to soda-9.0-1 and adding "-savetouserdir %" works. Though idk what happened to the bottle that broke.

Edit 2: Seems like mangohud update at least partially is responsible.

Edit 3: Also soda-experimental_8.0 is broken, and it seems like there's a github issue about how this shouldn't be suggested.

Edit 4: Also another suggested update, dxvk-2.7.1-7-21eb344 breaks the game Tunic, switching to dxvk-2.5.3 works.

Edit 5: Apparently the mangohud issue is isolated to this single bottle for some reason.

Edit 6: Mmm, seems to be an issue related to the game Noita on when on "Fullscreen (real)" setting, not the whole bottle.

Hey guys! I'm a solo developer working on Tyto.

It's really important to me to make sure it runs smoothly on native Linux, no Proton required.

While the game already runs on native Linux, I currently don't have any Linux-based playtesters.

If you'd like to help me (and the Linux gaming community), please join Tyto's playtesting Discord server and I'll send you a key.
If you'd rather not join the server, you can also DM me or leave a comment.

Thank you so much!

this is an extremely niche issue that i honestly am not sure what i can do about. I'm a vintage computer nerd, i recently picked up a gx270, a computer from 2000 that has a pentium 4 and 1gb of ram. on systems like these I prefer to run linux because being a computer nerd it just gives me a lot a freeway with the computer and also allows me to run more modern software. subsequently, i also have many pc cd-rom games like age of empires and the sims, however these games are of course not made to be ran on a linux computer. I was considering wine however I am worried about the implications of emulation on such old hardware so i wanted to see if anyone else had done anything similar and if anyone has any ideas on how i can play my cd games on my linux system. thanks!

Hey everyone, I really need some help. I've tried a bunch of things but Xbox Cloud Gaming just won’t work properly on Linux Mint. It keeps lagging, freezing, or dropping frames.

On the same machine with Windows 10 it works perfectly, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a hardware or network issue.

I also tried the BetterXcloud script, but that actually made things worse — it threw a “decode performance” error and the lag got even heavier.

I tested both Edge and Chrome (.deb versions), tried using a user agent switcher, but nothing helped.

If anyone has any ideas or has dealt with this before, please let me know. I really don’t want to go back to Windows. Thank you!

[OS: debian forky | DE: kde 6.5.4 wayland | GPU: nvidia gtx1650 m (discrete), 550 drivers from debian's non-free repos]

i was trying to run some games (the witcher 3 and skyrim) on native wayland because i had some input lag with xwayland (not a deal breaker, but still annoying). when i tried to use "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" and "dispay=" launch options with steam's official proton (experimental), it just completely ignored them and still used xwayland.

then i tried to use proton GE (10-26 and 10-8). the games did start on native wayland with it, however, they either gave me a black screen or just completely froze after 5 seconds with the audio still playing. in the witcher 3's launcher i switched to directx 11, which made the game actually work but with incredibly low fps and disappearing models.

i'm pretty new to this proton stuff soooo maybe i'm doing something wrong? and yeah, again, everything works completely fine with xwayland and x11 session

edit: i DID put %command% and also tried with no "display=" thing

im on bottles rn, some games can't be run with Proton-GE and i need to fallback onto soda runner in order to launch those games.

then ik if we running game outside of steam with proton-GE, it lacks something, UMU is there to fix those lacks, but the problem is UMU doesn't have gui, so now im looking for it...

Hii everyone! I'm pretty new to linux (currently using the latest version of Linux mint cinnamon) and I've been having trouble trying to run a mod loader installer for Slime Rancher (SRML) so that I can use all my mods I used before switching to Linux.

I downloaded SRML from the official Nexus Mods page and I unzipped the downloaded file in my slime rancher files, but when I try to run the .exe installer using wine (I have mono installed too) it gives me the following error message:

"Not in game folder! Searching for SlimeRancher...

System.Exception: Could not auto-locate game folder! Please move SRMLInstaller.exe to a valid game folder and try again"

Thing is tho that the .exe file IS in the game folder. I tried multiple times to get it to work. I navigated to the folder manually and downloaded it there, I used "Browse local files" from Steam to access it, but nothing has worked. I haven't been able to find any information of help so far either, as posts that had the same error message just worked when they moved the installer to the game folder (tho that's probably bc they were on Windows instead of Linux). I've also verified that I can open the game just by opening the SlimeRancher.x86_64 (I don't know why that would matter but I was just trying anything and idk what may be of use for you all to know in helping me here).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :3

Hey, everybody! I've been having some troubles running games properly on Fedora 43. I'll admit that I'm a bit of a Linux noob and apologize if this isn't the best place for this kind of question.

In any case, I've tried running games through Steam and locally and both are equally terrible, the game runs at 2 FPS for some reason and I don't know why. All of the games I tried were light indie games like Disco Elysium, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist and The Long Journey Home. From what I'm aware, my laptop specs should be able to run those:

i5-1235U

8GB RAM

1tb ssd

I read some stuff about the integrated Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] not being supported on Fedora because of the i915 graphics driver, I thought about it being my Workstation install that might not have been a good choice for gaming (in hindsight that would make sense), but decided to gather some insight from you experts here first. If you need any more info, I'm happy to provide!

I don't know when it happened, but Hogwart's Legacy is now playable through GeForce Now, so I've picked it up on sale on Steam. (I've been waiting for GeForce Now support so I don't have to worry about what Denuvo will do to my machine/OS.)

Now, the question is what is the 'best' way to install GeForce Now on Kubuntu? I see several 'unofficial' snaps listed in the Discovery app. Is one of these better than the others, or is there an app I should install in terminal?

Thank you kindly!

(P.S. Oh, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super. No problems detected yet.)

So when i first built my pc, i installed endeavourOS with no gpu(so igpu), and like 2 months later i installed a gigabyte 9070xt, not sure if this impacts anything but oh well. I've noticed a lot of games run a lot poorer than expected, I did install all the necessary packages like mesa(I think). Here's some info for the games i've played:

Minecraft(Complementary reimagined +euphoria patches, popular settings): ~30-90fps
BeamNG . drive ultra: ~40fps
Spider Man Miles Morales very high with some fsr: ~50-60fps

Am I wrong or is this not normal?

Hello. I'm on Bazzite Desktop (Plasma KDE) with an AMD 7800X3D and Nvidia 4060. I recently acquired an older second monitor since I was lacking one and while it is more useful than annoying, there is one unfortunate problem: the refresh rate difference.

I can usually get used to 60fps on stuff after a while of solely using it. But having 60 right next to my 144hz monitor is pretty constantly jarring - the second one feels mega jittery basically any time I do anything on it. It's not really a big deal but I'm pretty sensitive to that stuff so if I can do anything about it I'm going to.

So far I've mostly dealt with it by keeping anything framerate related on my primary monitor (games, videos over 60fps, etc), and a few UI effects have helped, like wobbly windows. But I was curious if anyone else has any tricks for making 60fps feel smoother?

I suppose I could mention that I tried overclocking it, but when I say it's older, it's older - the newest port it has is DVI, and it's currently hooked up to a VGA to DP cord that came with it lol.
