Any tests ran with Proton yet? Curious to know how it runs on Linux...

I am interested in switching to Fedora from CachyOS to move to a better supported distro with a good mix of both stability and new features.

My specs are:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

RTX 4080 Super

32GB DDR5 RAM

My only concern is that when i tried Fedora 43 a while ago, I couldn't get past the setup screen where you select your region. I have heard there are workarounds for this, but apparently on nvidia this is a thing.

I am not able to switch GPUs, and I still need my windows drive for BF6 and Fortnite with my brothers. I am aware that Nvidia takes the DX12 hit on Linux, and I am hoping for that fix at some point.

My favorite distro so far has been Mint, but its x11 implementation gives me pause for using it long term. I also like KDE plasma more as a DE. CachyOS is fine, but its a smaller team, and for some reason, my Intel network card just doesnt connect every few boots on Arch and its derivatives, but i haven't had that on Mint, and i am hoping it is better on Fedora.

Nvidia users on the 40xx or 50xx cards, how has your experience been with Fedora 43?

Hello people!

Today I tried to install the following mod:
https://github.com/TheOtherRolesAU/TheOtherRoles

I followed the steps but after I extracted everything and set everything right, the game will crash via Steam.

If I remove any start commands from Steam everything is fine.

The following command crashes the game:
(WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%) without the ()

Help would really be appricated.

The specs are: Intel i5 2450M 3.10 GHz Intel 2nd Gen integrated graphics And Radeon HD 6610M/7610M 8gb ram

Give me some recommendation on very easy to run games

Intel Arc GPU AMD Driver GPU Nividia Driver Proprietary Nvidia Drivers Open-source

Which driver do you think I should choose so I can identify it later?

I'm on a i9 13900k
Arch linux, kernel 6.18.5
Radeon RX 6800xt

Playing World of Tanks through Lutris with Proton 10, the game is incredibly laggy, getting like 10-20 fps. Disabling e-cores in the BIOS completely fixed it. However, I use all the 24 cores fairly often, so rebooting just to enable them gets annoying. Is there any way to either force the game to only use performance cores, or to disable/enable efficiency cores without rebooting?

What I've tried:

taskset -c 0-7
Lutris "restrict number of Cores used" option
systemd-run --scope -p AllowedCPUs=0-7

None of these fixed my issue

any help is greatly appreciated

Recently join Linux looking for a program for my Vader 4 pro the controller works fine but I can’t use/modify my keybinds for the back buttons does anyone have a fix or a alternative program from the space station software

When playing doom ethernal, It works fine and gives me around 200+ FPS for like first 5 minutes after launching the game. Then, suddenly, performance drops to around ~50 FPS and the game becomes very stuttery. It checked the temperatures they look normal to me (under 70C) and I've finished entire game (nightmare difficulty btw) on this machine on windows and its DLCs on linux with months ago without any lag so I'm certain that this is not hardware limitation

It seems like my NVIDIA GPU (5060 laptop) is losing power. I plotted GPU power usage in KDE System Monitor, and when I minimize the game, I see a jump in power usage. When I focus the game again, the power usage drops.

I tried setting the power profile to Maximum using Lenovo LOQ’s built-in Fn + Q shortcut (which does seem to work), but there was no change in behavior. I also tried launching the game with gamemoderun and switching to protonge but that didn’t help either.

I have `nvidia-powerd.service` enabled, and I tried setting Preferred Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance in NVIDIA Settings under PowerMizer, but that didn’t help either.

I think I have noticed this behavior in cs2 and dota2 as well but its not as noticeable in them as doom eternal.. maybe because they might not be that much demanding but i do notice sudden drop in fps in those games well

I am using archlinux with kde plasma wayland with 590.48.01 nvidia driver and linux 6.18.4-zen1-1-zen kernel

I have two old PCs. They're both Intel Xeon 1150s with DDR3 RAM. The most powerful graphics card I have for gaming is a GTX 1650 in my daily driver and a GTX 1660 in my gaming PC.

These PCs were bought as individual secondhand parts, except for the tower case, which was new.

The problem is that there's very little to choose from, and it's expensive. A new AMD RX 6600 costs around €200. But that's too much for my platform because it's so old, and not all models are compatible. My case and power supply have space and power consumption limitations.

If I want to migrate to GNU/Linux, I'm going to run into a lot of problems because I'm keeping my Nvidia GPU. But the thing is, there are many more options to choose from, both new and used, and sometimes even better prices.

The only good option I can find secondhand that's worth the money is an RX 580 8GB. But that would only be useful for my gaming PC, and I'm not going to use it for that. I prefer Windows for that.

I had problems with those cards because the vast majority of 8GB cards from that era were used for mining and are now completely worn out. I recently bought an RX 570 8GB and had to return it because it gave me error 43.

What are my options after that? Secondhand RX 6600s rarely go for less than €150 in my country, and they're already quite old. If I look for an RX 460/560, they offer poor performance and are more expensive than similar Nvidia cards. Sometimes, for the price of an RX 560, you can get a GTX 1060 6GB, which is better in every way for the same price. The low-profile option is much worse. I also have two small tower cases. A Dell and a Lenovo SFF. Well, the best I can get in that form factor is an RX 550 4GB. But you can find them for €40 or more, when there are equivalent or better Nvidia cards for the same price, and sometimes even less.

The opposite has happened. Ten years ago, when AMD had a market share of around 40% in graphics cards, both in stores and on the secondhand market, their cards were everywhere. Many people didn't want them. Nvidia cards were more highly valued. People asked more for an Nvidia card than for the equivalent AMD card. It used to be that an HD 7950 3GB would cost the same secondhand as a GTX 660, even though the former was significantly better.

Now the problem is the opposite. Radeon cards are worth more than many Nvidia cards on the secondhand market.

For now, if I want to migrate to Linux, I've bought an HD 7850 2GB for €20 for my main PC. But this means I'll only be able to play a few games, even though I can use the AMD GPU driver.

I'm super pleased to finally have a release date for Hyperslice, on January 16 (Friday). I've been working on this game on and off for a while now so it feels so good to see the end of the tunnel.

Hyperslice is a fast paced arena roguelite where your only weapon is your dash.

I made the game mostly using Linux Mint so I wanted to have a day one Linux/Steam Deck release. I'm so excited to get people to play it! There's a demo on Steam if you want to give it a try.

Cheers, Eliptik

I have Mango Hud set to run with Final Fantasy XIV. This makes it also appear in the launcher before the game. The overlay is showing up over the text on the left 1/3 of the launcher, when I hit my toggle button, it doesn't turn it off. It does when ingame but not on this launcher for any reason. Any ideas?

I am using Wine to launch Genshin, but it just don't launch the game itself and goes back to launcher. It was fine and working before, and I didn't do anything to it. Clearing cache and repairing files didn't help. It already happened once, I reinstalled the game and it worked. Os is linux mint. Is there a way to make it work again without reinstalling?
