Im gonna use ubuntu only for minecraft is it good and can you provide some advice for making the performance more optimized

This might be a silly question but when building a gaming PC with Linux in mind and considering system requirements. Are there some things that should be kept in mind to the approach on Linux vs how how you would select hardware on Windows? The only rule of thumb I generally see is choose Radeon over Geforce. What about cpus, ram and motherboards? Are there way more things to keep in mind with Linux or is it more straight forward?

EDIT: I actually think this may be my compositor, labwc, at fault: maybe it's somehow losing focus. i thought about testing this in sway and after like 10 minutes of testing i was not able to replicate the issue (and it definitely appeared more quickly than 10 minutes)

i wonder if i could fix this in labwc with some AlwaysOnTop rules ...

Arch Linux, labwc 0.9.1-1

I have a multimonitor setup (1 central monitor, 2 flanking) and in some games the cursor will randomly go out of bounds of the window and into my side panels.

Is there a way to fix this without using gamescope, or without readjusting my multi-monitor setup? (I know i could turn off all other monitors to fix this but i don't want to do that)

re gamescope: The problem with gamescope is that some games (the game in question here is Wildgate, but others do this too) especially those that run EAC will break gamescope: the EAC splash will appear, but gamescope won't actually attach the game process, and it'll eventually coredump. (there are several issues in the gamescope github about this)

other games, such as Dota2 running in Proton, do not have this problem

Thanks!

I'm on CachyOS running the Native Steam client. X11, Nvidia GPU. Hardware accel. is turned OFF, Steam client beta branch, Steam overlay is OFF. Every time I start my PC or restart the Steam client my screen freezes and my mouse lags for a few seconds. Not sure what is causing this. It didn't happen before.

ALSO, my wishlist page gives me a black screen and I already tried clearing my cache and signing out and in.

I have currently got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller and I have connected it to my PC via the dongle and have switched the controller to the 2.4G mode on the back.

Unfortunately I have no luck with the controllers inputs working, I have used evtest to detect the controllers inputs but it doesn't appear either.

When I use lsusb, one device appears:

`Bus 001 Device 012: ID 2dc8:310a 8BitDo 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller`

When I use evtest however, there are two devices:

`/dev/input/event29: 8BitDo 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller Keyboard`

`/dev/input/event30: 8BitDo 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller Mouse`

I had this problem previously, and it was fixed by reinstalling arch linux. However it has appeared again and I don't want to do that every time I encounter that problem. I assume it is being caused by some misconfiguration or a faulty update.

Soooo.i just realised that playing minecraft win 10 edition is this easy. No im not talking about playing mcpe and having to buy from playstore. Im talking about the original win 10 edition from windows.please upvote this so this appears on google and helps noobs.and i would love yalls opinions.

(People may need this to play multiplayer so i thought i should post my findings)

With both ways,online play is possible as long as you have and hotmail/gmail acoount with which you have bought the minecraft bedrock copy.

(Note:there are two ways.both work perfectly.the 2nd way is a bit immoral and requires 0 to none risk. For most people the 1rst option should be optimal)

1:open store.install the minecraft launcher flatpak. (If you cant find it you can also download from the minecraft websites for almost all distros) Install the mc windows 10 edition.(Yes even though it wont work) go to /var and locate the minecraft launcher apps' data.there you will find the installation of mc bedrock. Open heroic games launcher.(Or your preffered launcher.) Click the add game option. Select the same mc bedrock file exe from /var. Select and test different versions of proton ge.(Most probably any of the latest will work greatly). Go in settings of that and open winetricks. Select " select default wine prefix" Then select "install windows componenets or dlls" There scroll down until you find these "Vcrun 2022" "Dotnet 48" Select both if these and then click okay. Both of these will then install in your prefix. There you go.now its just a click and play in the heroic games launcher. (NOTE:this is updateable.everytime you need to update go in the launcher and update while you exe selection wont change).

2. (IMPORTANT NOTE:this is not mcpe edition.the vedrock version of minecraft for android is also available. THIS IS WIN 10 EDITION kind of. Also with this method manual updating is needed.)

(This is just a bit risky.also i dont endorse pirating and hacking.) Open browser.search "minecraft apk mcpedl" Open the mcpedl website.download the latest apk file.(Non beta). Then,install waydroid.(This only works for systems with wayland 11)(If you dont use wayland 11,you can use any other container or emulator for android) Set up waydroid with the "GAPPS" option. Select the downloaded apk and run it in the android container. Now when you sign in minecraft will work normally with all online play features enabled. (NOTE:performance might be considerably worse than playing on normal android or the normal win 10 edition) (NOTE2:this method has not yet been tested by me).

Hello everyone! I've been loving Linux (I'm using Arch) a lot and finally switched it to my main OS a couple of months ago. Does anyone happen to play the game Gray Zone Warfare? I was reading on ProtonDB about it and noticed some people have problems while others don't.

So here's where I need help. I am running a 9950X3D alongside a RTX 5090 (Any other 5090 Linux users here?) running the latest Nvidia Open drivers and for Gray Zone Warfare I can't seem to be able to play the game without it stuttering really bad. I believe it has something to do with the shaders because once I load into an area it's fine for a bit but when I move I can get drops all the way to 2 fps and my game essentially freezes. This is extremely annoying because it has gotten me killed in combat. I have tried using Proton 10.0.2 Beta and GE-Proton10-12 but no luck. The shaders are said to have been compiled on steam and in the menu of the game but when I load into the game each time I get 100% CPU usage and my entire PC lags and audio glitches. After a bit everything is loaded and my GPU is finally being utilized. Maybe it's not saving the shader cache? I also tried the games reset shader options a couple of times but no luck.

Tldr; game stutters and 100% CPU usage when spawning and going to different areas even on a 9950X3D and 5090 running Arch Linux with the Nvidia Open Driver 580.76 (The latest one I'm not at my PC to check)

After installing God of War Ragnarök in linux (Fedora) and running it via Lutris, in starting everything is fine but suddenly mouse stops working and camera remains still. Tried to run it with steam but same error. I tried many forums but everyone has fix for Windows only. In starting it has GPU issue but i fixed that but need help in this. Somebody if any solution available, help.

For context, I'm using lutris GE Proton, X11 window, and I don't have wine installed natively. Using debian 11. I've tried playing family guy back to the multiverse, and batman arkham city, but whenever I click, it just takes my mouse to the top left corner, please help.

I have a fresh Fedora install with a Ryzen 3950 and a new RTX 5090. I installed newest Nvidia drivers 575 and Heroic Launcher with Cyberpunk with newest proton-GE. I can install and run the game fine, the benchmark also works fine with good FPS but the game itself has serious issues:

- Faces / textures not loading
- Conversations / triggers not working
- Whole rooms disappearing

Basically, unplayable

I already disabled RT and DLSS but nothing really changes anything. It works fine on Windows.

Wondering what I could be doing wrong.

Actually, I changed my OS from Windows to Ubuntu and I'm a new Linux user!
I have searched for different ways of installing League of Legends, but most of them didn't work!

One of them was more straightforward, and the path was like this:

Install Lutris --> search for League of Legends --> choose the 2009, Mac, Windows version --> choose standard(EUNE) and hit install.

After a while, I can click on the Riot League of Legends install botton.

but, after that it wants me to give it a install path which is like a windows path!

when I hit install botton, this error raised!

I tried again to give it the right location to install:

home/PCname/games

but i got the same error!

i would be happy to help me on this!

I Have some older hardware id like to turn into a gamepad-controlled couch-gaming linux-system where i can play emulators and my games from steam.

Ryzen 3700x, x570 plus wifi, 32gb ram and a gtx 1080.

I know very little about linux but my research today at least taught me how difficult that is going to be. Chimera and Nobara seem to not support my gtx 1080 and i have no idea what to do! Is anyone here more experienced and can tell me a way this could work?

Thanks!

I'm someone that's unfortunately on radeon 7000, and I was wondering if the FSR4 AA is usable for newer games JUST for AA, or maybe even Quality upscaling to gain some performance
How's the performance at this moment?

i've installed everything from flatpak, and nothing is able to recognize mangohud and gamescope (heroic, steam, lutris) none of em recognize it, i installed the latest version of everything, and even granted all permissions to apps on Flatseal, if anyone can help i'd appreciate it.

I have installed OpenTrack and AITrack on my cachyos system. OpenTrack is running through aur, and AITrack is working through wine . In OpenTrack, I have set the input to UDP over network and the output to Libevdev Joystick Receiver. I have tried using both Wine Windows layer Unix and Libedev Joyistick Receiver but I cannot get head tracking to work in Euro Truck Simulator 2 when running it via Proton GE, Proton, or Native.

Could someone please guide me on how to make head tracking work in ETS2 with this setup?
