Hello I've tried to install NVIDIA open drivers on my debian 13 with kernel version 6.12.63+deb13-amd64.

I have an rtx 5060 ti blackwell which means according to debian documentation that I can only install the open drivers.

But not matter which kernel version I try:

- 6.12.38+deb13

- 6.12.43+deb13

- 6.12.63+deb13
- 6.18.0-061800-generic

I tried different driver versions too: 575, 580, 590 and also the master branch of NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

I also tried: https://github.com/devleonardoamaral/debian-nvidia-installer
I keep getting the same issue.

Here is a ticket opened on open-gpu-kernel-modules github with more information including logs. I'm open to any suggestions

Hi guys, idk if the flair Is correct for this post. Also, i'm sorry, i know you get these questions a lot. I just want to know: Is there any real performance difference between Bazzite and CachyOS? I was planning to switch to Linux, but i am still not sure where to land. I will use this PC mainly for gaming, watching films and listening to music, i have a separate laptop for work and uni. My points are: i won't be doing much tinkering anyway, so a distro like Bazzite Is fine, but i'm willing to use CachyOS If overall It's better in terms of performance. Also, i have a thermalright cooler (Frozen warframe pro 360) with an integrated display. I don't know if coolercontrol (which can be installed with ujust, i checked) can interact in any way with the display, so i searched online for another software to do so. On GitHub i found one, but It Is not packaged for any distro (you need manually compile It from source). The thing Is: idk if i can do this on Bazzite itself. I know i can use and Arch distrobox container with a USB passthrough, tho i need to do some try and error to set It up. What do you suggest?

Edit: as pointed out in the comments, the bleeding edge nature of CachyOS Is not to be underestimated. I am on AM5 (ryzen 7 7700), with a Radeon RX 9070XT GPU. Is Bazzite good enough? Or do i need more of a bleeding edge solution?

So I just started dual booting with cachyos with the aim of eventually having it take over (9070 XT with 9800X3D user). Spent some time setting up Clair Obscur (hopefully at some point redstone upgrade will be more straightforward) and had a few questions:

• One issue I seemed to have is that audio during proton games seems to briefly cut out at times. Can't work out if this is a caching thing or a scheduling issue, but I ended up mitigating it by changing my Pipewire config to use 192000hz bitrate (why isn't this just configurable within KDE?)
• Is there anyway to simply set certain launch options as default for Steam games (so I'm not having to put mangohud and fsr4 upgrade launch options on every game)?
• Similarly is there a way to have per game profiles for mangohud (i like to have an fps limit of 139fps for games on my primary monitor and 116fps for my TV to keep with the recommendations for optimal setup of VRR)?
• When connected to my TV I have a passthrough 5.1 sound bar. Is there a way to do Dolby Audio (I'm assuming the answer is no given licensing)?

EDIT: For background context, I have some previous experience with desktop Linux (lots of experience with server linux) but admittedly most of it comes either from my early Arch days back when Wayland was this niche thing that was considered Ubuntu's pet project that the rest of the community thought would never take off or from my Steam Deck usage.

I’ve been looking at modding GTA V again after switching to Linux. As most people familiar with GTA V modding know, OpenIV is required for many mods, but it has no native Linux support. I’m aware there are workarounds, but to be honest they’re beyond me.

I’m considering the following steps and would like to know whether it’s viable:

1. Create a Windows VM (VirtualBox)

2: Install Steam, GTA V, and OpenIV inside the VM

1. Use OpenIV to install mods into the GTA V directory

2. Copy the fully modded GTA V directory from the VM to my Linux system

3. Run the modded directory through Proton/Linux

The intention would be to play the game on Linux via Proton, not inside the VM. I understand VirtualBox doesn’t support GPU passthrough, which is fine since the VM would only be used for modding.

I got VirtualBox set up with 8 GB RAM, 4 cores, and 150 GB of storage.

As a side note, if anyone has experience running Photoshop in a similar VM setup on Linux, I’d be interested to hear about that as well.

Thanks in advance.

I've been out of the Windows ecosystem for three months now, and it's been wonderful... Until I switched from Linux Mint to Cachyos (let me explain).

It all started when, after switching from Mint to Cachy/KDE, I realized that the menus were sometimes running at 20 FPS instead of matching my 144 GHz. It was a sudden and horrible change. But that wasn't the worst part; the worst part was the video games. Many performed better... RDR2, Cyberpunk, MULLET MAD JACK... The problem was with some of the more unusual games. Vintage Story ran TERRIBLY, a game that is graphically simple... Noita ALSO ran terribly... It was unsustainable. After doing some research, I found out that it was “Wayland” and “X11,” something I didn't even know existed. I ended up realizing that KDE used Wayland by default (unlike Mint) and that it didn't work very well with my RTX3070, FOR SOME REASON I DON'T KNOW (one of my friends who helped me migrate has a RTX4070 Super and it works great for him). The solution? Switch to X11 and continue using KDE... AND IT WORKED! IT'S GREAT!

My fear comes when, while searching for information, I realize that people are proclaiming (without me knowing why yet) that Wayland is the future and that X11 is so outdated that KDE is going to drop support for X11 in the next version! What can I do? I don't want to abandon X11, it works really well for me...

I am specifying steam because Heroic is able to view and access the files and I am trying to manually put it in the steam app. I am confused as to why it isn't able to use the folders on the ext drives though (2HDD). Any help would be appreciated :)

Finally Gamescope on Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't need to be compiled anymore. 3v1n0 from Github has just packaged Gamescope for Ubuntu 24.04, and added a PPA repository. Now you can:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:3v1n0/gamescope sudo apt update sudo apt install \ wayland-protocols \ vulkan-tools \ gamescope

and test it with

gamescope -- vkcube

for starters let me just say the chromebook is already jailbroken so i can use any distro, the cpu is a intel n3350, intel hd graphics 500, 4gb ram, 32gb drive, so this thing flatout sucks for any sort of gaming but thats why im here, im using cachyos right now for it which is good but, i play roblox on this thing (sober) and sometimes it just crashes, freezes everything, my cursor doesnt move, but it responds to key commands like, "windows key" brings up the menu allows me to restart it and stuff, but if i somehow alt f4 the sober tab, it all resorts back to normal now im completely braindead with linux, lets just go with that ive used it on and off for the past year but not enough to fully learn how to use it properly, should i swap versions of linux, like try mint, plain arch, ubuntu or something else, or do i just try to find a solution for the crashing and bugginess of sober interacting with the chromebook its a big confusion on my end so i take my issue here thanks :D

Hey guys, after years on Mac OS and windows- I finally installed Linux (Fedora). Honestly enjoying it more than I imagined.

I only issue I have is gaming(to be expected). It would be awesome if I could get Cyberpunk ray tracing in FSR 4. The only option I have is the fsr2 and it looks like garbage.

Any advice is hugely appreciated. Just remember, I’m only a week deep in this OS so still trying to learn.

PC specs- amd 7800x3d, 9070xt, 64gb ram running expo.

Hello Guys,

I am a recent and happy Linux convert (yay!) but I can;t get my Epic Games to work (uhh). I installed the Pop!_OS disto of Linux prepared to do a bunch of terminal work, but I was surprised that all I really had to change in how I used the computer was installing program. It was more similar to a Windows experience than Mac aside from that. I got ONLY OFFICE instead of MS Office and have been really enjoying it with almost zero setbacks... until now.

Basically, when I try to launch a game, it clearly starts, but then just stops. Sometimes displaying an error message.

This window appears when I have \"Disable umu\" checked in the games 'Advanced' settings tab. It doe not appear is that setting is not checked (umu is enabled).

I tried installing Heroic Games Launcher through both the Pop!_Store and through flatpak. I logged in and out of Epic Games. I reinstalled Heroic. I tried to toggle the "disable umu" setting in the games "Advanced" settings tab. I tried using Wine-GE-Latest instead of GE-Proton-Latest wine versions. I updated and repaired flatpak in the terminal. I also tried Lutris Game Launcher, but I couldn't even get the Epic Games store to run on that... possibly for the same reasons??

There is a lot of posts about this on reddit already, thatis where I got all the above tricks. But none have helped me. Most of them were in r/SteamDeck so I wasn't even sure if it was really the same issue.

However, so far one game has launched and run: Brotato. It is a very simple 2D top-down shooter game, kind like one of those mobile ads games. However, I want to play Slime Rancher which is much more complicated 3D first-person adventure/farm sim game. I am assuming that Brotato is simply so simple that is doesn't use what ever element is buggy and thus launch successfully.

Additional notes:

This screen appears before every game launches, is this normal?

If this is not a helpful post, please let me know how I can explain it better or what information I can better provide. This is one of my first forum posts since I usually I don't write new posts when I have problems, because if you search hard enough you can find the solution already somewhere. However, I have been working on this all day, and I just cannot get it to work. The fact that the one game works makes me sure it is possible, just some configuration that needs tweaking, etc.

Has anyone else started randomly getting kicked from being suspected of anti-cheat while just using Linux?

It took me a few days to get everything set up properly and now that I finally figured out all of the tweaking necessary, I can't even play the multiplayer for longer than a minute now without being rejected by the anti cheat server....

Have tried multiple different options to work around this I even went in and made sure that proton easy anti-cheat runtime is installed. I've verified the integrity of that. Tried flushing my DNS and rebooting my router even though I'm I'm pretty assured that that's not the issue...

The scheme runs fine on the steam deck and I never got kicked but I did only play for one or two rounds to test it.

Previous to this I was playing for a few hours and no issues. It's super frustrating that Microsoft wants to go through this much. B**S to keep people from playing their games...

If anyone knows any fix please let me know. I would like to continue playing gears reloaded since I paid for it. I don't want to use Windows anymore..

15 years of windows user here as the title says! 👋

Nobara installed & got sick of Windows. Heard Nobara was the most 'windows friendly' OS out there so I can see how it is.

I got a couple steam games installed & watched a few videos of how to use G Overlay since MSI Afterburner isnt compatible with Linux. I'm pretty sure I've got all the settings & configuration correct in G Overlay, but cant figure out why it wont show up.

Im trying a small game like Terraria to test it first. The toggle key wont work & i pasted the command in the launch options for Terraria too.

I have terrible performance at Blood West. I use the Heroic Launcher and play a game from Epic Games.

I have integrated graphics, which isn't the most powerful, but I swear Fallout New Vegas, Flatout 2, and Dota 2 run at 30-60 FPS. This game isn't even close in terms of graphics. Why is it so bad? My fps is about to be 15-30.

I switched over from FPS Unlock to AAGL for the time being because it seems to be the only way for now to not get the 10010-4001 error.

That said, I tried everything getting HDR to work but nothing seems to work. I tried changing the registry and putting various launch arguments both in AAGL and the Steam shortcut.

If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

It just doesn't seem to want to work and all the fixes I've found online and tried don't seem to work, and I can't figure out how to install the xdg portal thing. I've already tried

library_folder_add

and it throws the error message "Failed mounting that path!" Even though I already have my hard drive mounted.

Any help would be appreciated
