idk I really want to switch monitors but I’m scared to buy something that isn’t compatible since I heard that msi compatibility sucks with linux so I’d love if anyone could help, thanks

I installed fallout new vegas via gog installer, after launching FalloutNV.exe, im getting the option to INSTALL instead of play. and it shows a error after clicking install.
im running the game through proton cachy os.

My game keeps crashing once I load into my save file, the screen just freezes, turns black, and I am taken back to my home lock screen.

Ive had my graphics put at the lowest possible and I have the game in Windowed (No Border)

Im running Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 and i'm playing via Steam.

Hi all, I just got a new Sapphire RX 9070 and upgraded from Debian 12 to 13. I’ve been using Debian full time for the past year or so and thought I knew what I was doing… but boy was I humbled. Had some issues upgrading it, but as that’s my main question, I’ll link it below.

Basically, I made the switch from an rtx 2080 to the RX 9070 trying to get a GPU before prices skyrocket. Found out later I needed to get to Debian 13. (Here’s my journey: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/s/piouYodbEN).

I’ve gotten all my issues resolved except in the gaming arena. I can run a game in Lutris and some games in Steam. But when I run them in Steam, it can be kinda stuttery and sometimes even screen tearing.

I’ve purged all NVIDA, I’ve made sure my mesa drivers are up to date from the distro offerings, and installed firmware-amd-graphics. I’ve reinstalled every library and driver related to gaming I can think of or are recommended off the Debian Steam and GPU pages. I also reinstalled all Vulcan drivers (which helped me get two of the games to launch).

My kernel is 6.12 and I’m noticing that people are recommending 6.13 and above.

I’d like to stick with Debian (and stable if possible) for privacy and security reasons. Is there a way to get these to work well together? I’m new to AMD so I’m a bit out of my depth.

Here are the games I’ve tried:

Elden Ring - runs fine with a bit of stuttering

Nidhogg 2 - runs fine as expected

Clair Obscur - I get fatal error every time. Tried many proton versions (experimental, 10.0.3, GE Proton 9_25)

Should I completely recreate my shader cache since I switched from NVIDIA to AMD? And if so, how do I do that? Do I need to do it for each game or is there a baseline set of shaders that I can get setup with AMD while purging NVIDIA’s?

Thanks for any help in advance!

I have just recently been given back a GPU of mine and decided to do a dual graphics setup one for rendering Wayland and the other for gaming. This did not turn out as planned and I have a slight suspicion to why but wanted a second opinion.

So I wanted the GTX 950 to render Wayland and it works great but with one small caveat gaming performance is abysmal, seemingly "capped" to 30-40 FPS on my 4070 Ti which would typically run at obviously much better speeds. I have tested with Cyberpunk 2077, Arc Raiders and Stardew Valley for shits and giggles (OpenGl game but works flawlessly anyhow)

I'm guessing that the 2Gb of ancient speed VRAM is bottlenecking when transferring the load to the 4070 Ti via Nvidia Prime. (I'm guessing that's how the technology works takes a load to the "primary" card selected by my environment variables and then pipes it back again when set in steam?) I have tried Hyprland, Kde Plasma, BSPWM all fall short. Done it in every configuration via the compositor itself, Steam, environment variables same results every time.

Another fun rolling release distro + Nvidia x2 + Wayland issue?

Has anyone else experience this kind of issue and have any workarounds or solutions?

Otherwise alternative use cases?

I've thought about a GPU pass through KVM but with a 950 its not quite worth it for the 2 titles I can't play on Linux

It wouldn't really be useful for any sort of LLM's as I have my own SFF PC with a half decent GPU in it as a home server.

Or is this old card eBay bound?

... download bazzite....

... unless your issue is bazzite... then download cachy os...

Hotfix to v0.22.0 (as you know you get flooded with bugs 5 minutes after release).

Tuxánci was a "first tux shooter" (whatever that means). It was inspired by a well-known Czech game Bulanci. In 2008 Tuxánci had its last release and in 2011 it stopped getting commits... but after 17 years, Tuxánci is BACK!

I just got the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wired Controller because my xbox controller got stick drift, I'm wondering if it works well with lutris and the launchers that can link to lutris. I'm not to worried about steam.

I've spent the better part of the weekend trying to figure this out, and no matter what I seem to do, mods just aren't applying. I can get Vortex to say they're installed and deployed just fine, but once I launch DQ3 HD, nothing happens. When I go to check the files to see if anything was changed, the directories where mods should have been installed are blank.

What I've tried:

1. Install Vortex through wine and install mods that way
2. Install Vortex through Heroic Games Launcher and load DQ3 in HGL under the same wine prefix
3. Tell Steam to run DQ3 through my HGL wine prefix
4. Use SteamTinkerLauncher as a launch command through Steam to adjust mods
5. Verify integrity of Steam files, then install and deploy a single mod by itself
6. Mod Organizer (doesn't support DQ3)
7. Installing mods manually by extracting and placing into the appropriate directories without using Vortex

Every single time, trying to add a mod and deploy it causes Vortex to tell me files were deleted and asks me if I want to save or revert the changes. No matter what I pick, I end up with the same end result of not having any mods actually added to the game. I thought at first that it was due to multiple mods using similar files (most mods are combat/vocation related), but I can't even get a single one to work. I've also tried re-downloading the files for each mod, and I still get the same issue.

I know the PC install base is already rather small for DQ3, and searching the Internet hasn't been much help as a result.

Update: It looks like one mod is finally working (expanded spells/abilities), but the other combat-related mods are still not working.

I just installed linux mint to compare performance to windows, but i cannot seem to get mangohud to hook onto hytale even with the --dlsym command, please help!

bear in mind this is a fresh install so i could be missing some dependencies?

I wanna switch from using windows to using linux, either ubuntu or mint. I'll mostly be focusing on gaming. Will i have major compatibility issues with games and programs (mainly things like discord, roblox, steam and older games like doom and morrowind), and if so, is there a way to work around them?

thanks in advance.

Hi I want to move from windows to linux and I have a question, will these games run on Linux? and which OS do y'all recommend for gaming and watching YouTube?

I am using Zorin OS 18 and do occassionally playing games on PC. Im more console gamer. However, for getting used on Linux its also necessary to play games.....also older Games. I tried Gothic 1 and 2 and some other Games, that are cracked. I can simply add them to the HGL, but when i click on "start" it just says "getting started" but it disappears in a second and nothing happens. This happens with ALL games, that i added there.

I tested HGL on Windows too, just to be sure.....and there its the same Problem.

On Windows i usually used Daemon Tools or a similar program for installing offline games. When i try to install Gothic "natively" i guess i need to write down the path, that it should be installed on Linux. On default, there is the Windows Install path with C.

With Lutris.....i only got Gothic 1 succesfully added AND playable. Of al the games its the only one, that didnt end up with Code 256.

I tried this Problem solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK2l7v8M6pU

and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P2OumkxH6E

Nothing worked.

i also installed Steam, because i wanted to test my digitally purchased games. I just tested Blasphemous 1 and 2 and both worked fine. Well, atleast i got to the main menu, but thats already more, than what was achieved with the other 2 launchers. After all, i wanted to know, if the Games on Steam would start at all. I dont know, how they would/will perform.

My hardware is:

CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F

GPU: Radeon RX 9060XT

32GB Ram
If you need more information, let me know.

Heyo! I used to use a lot of Linux before and got discouraged by some issues with the distro I enjoyed. My interest is peaked once again, but I've added a few games to my rotation that don't have great Linux support. The biggest one is FiveM seeming not having any support and there doesn't seem to be any solutions. I have admittedly done very surface level googling (headlines and titles). But has anyone found a way to successfully play FiveM servers on Linux? Or is this just a VM/ dual boot situation? Any feedback is appreciated! Even if it's just to tell me to go back to Google lmao

I recently switched from Linux Mint to Fedora, wanting to try it out, and have overwritten on my linux mint drive so I had to reinstall all my games. I installed Marvel Rivals and everytime I load it up, the launcher and game only show white, previously working on Linux Mint. I've tried testing different protons and launch options and even reinstalled and verified the files.

Is this a common issue or have I done something wrong?
