Bought basically a whole new computer at Microcenter, I had bought 9800x3d last year and and have bought the rest of the computer now. My old computer is a 12400f and 6800xt. Only the ssd will be moved to the new system. My understanding based on my research is that the kernal should take of everything and everything will be fine. However if think saw somewhere that switching cpu's could cause issues with microcode or the motherboard chipset could cause some issues. But I wanted ask to see what people who have done something similar what their experience was.

edit: new GPU is 9070xt and the distro is Nobara

edit: title should be G293

Hi All, I have read that this wheel can work in linux but my efforts have hit a brick wall... I can see that you have to run the following command to get into PC mode:

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 046d -p c26d -M 0f00010142 -C 0x03 -m 01 -r 01

After running that command the wheel does a calibration and changes to c26e which is expected. The oversteer application does not see any wheel attached and I have tried dirt rally which also fails to see the wheel. A lot of the guides say to use new-lg4ff driver but the readme for new-lg4ff says that it does not work with the xbox version and that support is already in the kernel from 6.3 onwards. My question is, does anyone have this working on kernel 6.17.x or higher? Thanks.

I moved from Arch to CachyOS without formatting my /home to save large files. It caused terrible, time-consuming issues by inheriting old config files.

1. DualSense Controller made games launched trhu heroic to crash when trying to use dualsense controller:(CP2077 instantly froze upon controller input)
   • Fix: DELETED and recreated the corrupted Wine Prefix.
2. Broken HDR Calibration: Color/Graphics settings were non-functional under KDE hdr callibration tool
   • Fix: erased Conflicts in inherited desktop config files (~/.config/)

To avoid carrying over these conflicts, do not keep your old /home partition untouched, at least erase everything from /.config ; /.local ,etc

You can keep your files: video, music etc, but not config files.

If you already migrated, manually delete all old game prefixes and clear system cache folders like ~/.cache/ and desktop config folders like ~/.config/

Hello I want to switch to linux so with CachyOS as my distro of choice but I am not sure which filesystem I should use.

I really want snapshoots just in case something breaks I heard btrfs is the way to go for this. I also heard that btrfs is slower and bad for the life cycle of an ssd.

So I thought would it be a good idea to only have btrfs for /root and choose ext4 for the /home where my games and programms are installed. Because in case something breaks having snapshoots on /root would be enough? You wouldn't need snapshoots for /home to fix your system in case somethings breaks right?

Arch wiki recommends doing so for better performance. I have no idea how to do it with Heroic Launcher.

Running latest cachyos with i3-wm.

I also have a plex server optiplex that runs linux mint ive never run a fedorah distro... well maybe like around 2008 but i couldnt make heads or tails of it back then.

Im a dad if 2 now so dont have a ton of time so im looning for something pretty quick to get it done. But im most familiar with arch

Hey all, I've seen people use OS pickers to choose between their Linux/windows installs. My suspicion is that these exist in the bootloader (MBR or GRUB). I have a separate NVME for both OS, would I be able to do this? Because I'm not sure if the bootloader would even be able to "sense" an OS on a different disk, so I think this OS picker menu is probably just for disks that run another OS on the same disk, but a different partition.

Am I right, and is my only option bios? And if I'm not right, and I CAN do it, could someone share the name of what I need to install so I can look it up?

Hello, I'm building a new pc this black friday season and i only need a gpu now. It is imperative for the gpu to be 260mm max, because of my case, so the highest i can go is a 5070 or a 9070xt 16gb

If there were smaller 9070 models they would be a no-brainer, but this isn't the case. I have the funds for a 5070 but i have heard nvidia gpus lose up to 20% performance on linux in DX12 games (ouch) and are very buggy etc. I don't know how much of that is sensationalism or real feedback. Should i get the 5070 for being the better gpu overall, or save and get a 9060xt 16gb? I intend to use either Cachy/Nobara/Bazzite.

Windows 11 gives me the ick personally. Fullscreen is vastly better; I don't wanna see your windows 11 you know? If anything would be cool to see someone using linux. Using like KDE plasma or something.

I have seen this asked all the time and have experienced it myself. If you are dual booting and have steam games installed on your windows storage device, move the installation over to the linux side. Some games run fine, but many games will fail to launch. Simply follow the Steam instructions on how to move the installation files.

I hate using Windows and recently started moving things over to a Linux Mint dual boot. My computer is mostly used for gaming among a few other hobbies but some of the games I’ve tried playing just don’t seem to run well despite my full AMD system which I figured would work well with the built-in drivers. Instead I get a choppy experience even when it says I’m getting 100+ fps. I’ve tried running CS2, Helldivers 2, Arc Raiders, and others and all games seem to have the same choppiness. I’m not sure what to do about it and have to stick with Windows for gaming until I can get a better Linux experience. If anyone has any recommendations I’d really appreciate it.

Hello! I started using CachyOS with KDE Plasma on my pc, and my laptop, and it's absolutely amazing! But I wanted to asked if it's possible to set a script, or a startup thing, when I connect my laptop to a TV is it possible to auto start steam big picture? Only want it if the tv connected, because I also use this laptop to work etc.

Hi all!

So I am just about to get a new gaming rig with the following components:

• AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core
• MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E Micro ATX AM5
• PowerColor Hellhound OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
• Kingston KC3000 2.048 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME
• Kingston Fury Renegade 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32
• Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17
• be quiet! Pure Power 12 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX PSU
• ARCTIC P12 Max 81.04 CFM 120 mm Fans
• Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower

I have ordered these components but we'll see what happens with the RAM (fingers crossed) so I haven't put this together just quite yet. And I'm still contemplating on what OS to get.

My question to you is: Is this a good setup for a linux gaming system? What distro would you recommend? My main goal is to play games on this thing with 1440p (screen AOC G3 Q27G3XMN so HDR-gaming as well) with as high settings as possible. I am aware of some restrictions (new Battlefield not working on linux) but is there something else I should be aware of?

I am running PoP_OS! on my laptop which I use to write this question but I only have bad experiences with linux running on a desktop. My old desktop setup has Nvidia 1070 on it and I think someone somewhere may have said that older GPUs and Linux don't mix very well together. I tried running a Control on it but it didn't work at all (maybe 10fps). On a windows 10 it was running very well. There were other games that just didn't run very well on Bazzite (the distro that I used to do the testing) but you probably get the idea. So I am trying to benchmark how these components I mentioned above would fare with linux against windows. Apparently during the last 10 years there's been a lot of development.
