I'm a new Bazzite user, and don't know a lot about linux.

A friend helped me and we installed bazzite on a brand new 500 Go SSD and encrypted it in LUKS
But my system seems to think the entirety of the encrypted partition if full, even though I literally installed nothing else than bazzite on it.
It's preventing me from updating my system, but also from installing anything on that partition, and I can't understand why.

Has anyone an idea on what the problem is and how to fix it? Couldn't find anything with my search engine

How do torrent work in Linux? In Türkiye we pay 1/4 or 1/5 of our monthly income Just for a game so we use torrent a lot. How does this work on Linux? Is there any website spresific for linux torrents or a boot option of .exe files in linux? (If mentioning or asking about piracy is against the rules, I can understand that but culture shouldn't be available onay for wealthy people, I need to ask. Thanks)

Hey!

I'm playing WoW WotLK on a private server and use two game accounts. I'd like to log in to both at the same time, but I can only have the game open once. I use Nobara and launch the game via Lutris, and it works great. Running the game twice worked without any problems before. After reinstalling Nobara, it unfortunately stopped working, and I don't know why. When I try to open the game a second time, nothing happens until I close the first one. Then the second one opens. The game is listed twice in Lutris, each with a different name. I copied the entire game folder for the second run, but that didn't work either.

I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me?

I've tired nobara now I'm on bazzite and the same thing is happening, all drivers have been updated and on system info it says my graphics card is an intel b580. The cpu doesn't have an integrated GPU either

I am new to Linux and I am trying to understand how Wine, Proton, Prefixes... basically anything works, to become more independent. I found out the latest powerful tool we have is Umu-launcher, thus I started investigating what it is and how it works.

(this all started because for some reason even if it seems everyone is suggesting to use Lutris for many launchers I was never able to make anything work 100%, so I was frustrated).

When I started exploring things I decided that writing umu-run commands each time is boring, and I wanted an assisted way to generate them, thus I started working on a script I am also writing below and maybe build a GUI or TUI on top of it later.

If anyone is interested to help I am happy to receive your feedbacks.

I have a HPZ420 with 32GB RAM and a Xeon E5-1650. I'm going to pair it with a GTX 1060 that a friend has spare, and see if I can turn what most what call scrap, into a gaming rig.

I may document this for a video, but I need a bit of advice.

- How's gog and epic support these days?

- What is the best distro to use - I'm leaning towards Ubuntu because I've always liked it.

KInd regards

looking to switch to Linux, I am looking for a console like experience to mainly control with control pad, is Bazzite the only option? or can the ui be added to any distro?

(apologies if this is a stupid question but I have not tried Linux in a very long time and never for gaming)

thanks

Hello,

Is it normal for my integrated graphics to be listed as GPU1 and not GPU0 on Mangohud? I read that GPU0 is supposed to be integrated graphics while GPU1 is the dedicated GPU.

I occasionally play war thunder, but I don't know if I can on Linux. Like, ik I can create a full windows emulator, but then I have to allocate CPU cores and memory, and since I have a relatively meh performance laptop, I need it to be running at the maximum possible performance.

How can I run wt on my laptop?

There are apparently a number of PC gamers looking to move away from Windows as Microsoft ends support for Win10. Many of these gamers are apparently looking to move to Linux. Nvidia currently has a greater than 90% share in the GPU market but their GPUs don't play well with Linux. Can we expect more ganers to buy AMD GPUs as they migrate to Linux to get better GPU performance and support?

With Battlefield 6 dropping in a few hours, I wanted to send a little announcement to those who dualboot and have intention of playing it.

You are required to enable SecureBoot in your bios. Doing so will break your Linux install, but this can be done in Linux and takes less than 5 minutes to get it enabled and working without breaking your boot process for Linux Bazzite supports SecureBoot without doing a thing, CachyOS instructions can be found https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/

It's pretty much the same with Arch but check out the wiki for your distro and have fun tomorrow, soldiers.

It's a shame EA changed their Anti Cheat breaking our ability to play recent releases. So if you dualboot and plan on playing BF6 , this will get you on the field.

I'm planning on building a gaming rig with an R5 7800x3d and an RX 9070 XT. The issue is that the CPU also has integrated AMD graphics on-board. How does linux handle this? I currently have a laptop with an Intel iGPU and a Nvidia dGPU, and it's kind of a nightmare so I just disable the iGPU entirely.

If anyone also has a similar setup, does an AMD/AMD gpu combination fare better? Which GPU will my display server use by default? Which one will games use? All of my displays will be connected directly to my dedicated GPU.

I switched from windows to nobara almost 3 months ago, ive become more comfortable with the OS and such, but recently i bought an rx 9060 xt and noticed it performed... very badly, compared to benchmarks online

Initially i thought it was just CPU bottleneck, but i just tested the same games on the same hardware on windows, and the performance is better, like, waaaaaay better (all the games are Gold or Platinum on ProtonDB)

As far as i know i have everything updated (latest kernel, latest mesa drivers) on my system, what could be causing my gpu to not work like it should

When configuring a game in Lutris, in the System Settings tab, there's a "CLI Mode" option. When enabled, the executable will launch within a Linux terminal.I use it specifically to run Escape From Tarkovs SPT mod "server" component, which doesn't work properly when simply run normally through Wine.

However, in recent months I've been trying to make a switch away from Lutris, and instead gather all my non-Steam games in Heroic (nothing against Lutris, I just use Heroic way more). Does anyone know a method of having Heroic emulate the "CLI Mode" that Lutris offers? Even if it's an external solution like a bash script that runs the .exe in my terminal, which I can set as the executable in Heroic. Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas.
