Graphics: Wayland

Mesa: 25.2.7

OS: Fedora 43

Kernel: 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64

Hi,

I would like to know and someone guide me on what laptop brand and model to get for my intended purposes or suggest a distro.

• I mostly do Technical writing work, I also play a few games, video edit and create music on the side.
• Most of the tools i use work on Linux or either online.
• I would be needing either an Intel 7 or Ryzen 7 upwards.
• Distro i would like would be either Manjaro, POP!_OS or Ubuntu studio.
• Preferably a Beginner friendly version please.

Thanks,

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to solve this error ?

It happens when I try to open via Bottles on Zorin OS 18
My Bottles configurations are the following:

It's my first time using Linux, I am a complete noob with it, started yesterday

Thanks in advance !

I'm using Gamescope extensively in combination with game performance + MangoHud. Now I've realized that using the --mangoapp flag for gamescope provides a more consistent HUD display for Mangohud based on my configuration than using Mangohud separately. It effectively displays the performance information on games that previously didn't.

What I want to know is how I can toggle the limit fps on MangoHud when using the --mangoapp on Gamescope.

What works?

toggle_hud_position=Shift_R+F11
toggle_hud=Shift_R+F12

What doesn't

toggle_fps_limit=F1

PS: I've also tried changing the FPS limit hotkey just in case it was some kind of overlapping with the game hotkeys, but it didn't work.

Im dualbooting windows and Zorin OS and Run steam when my computer starts is not turning on

Screen keeps glitching like that all the time. First - the cutscene - works perfectly - then i am getting dropped into the game and this. When i leave to main menu, it starts glitching too. I have no idea what might be the issue here.

I'm on Linux Mint, Metro is runnin' from Steam. Any ideas what the hell should i try

idk how ot describe this, i dont think i changed anything

i have an rx480 8gb and am using a distro with the base of ubuntu 25.10

my gpu is recognised by fastfetch but all games i try to play wont start and say i need a dx11 compatible card. it worked the last couple of weeks it only started today

i only play games over steam incase that changes anything

i hope the pictures help!

any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have a problem specifically with Ubisoft games, in watch dogs 2 I get around 60 fps at very high settings, but after I play for 2-3 mins fps drops to 20, and main problem is Assasins creed Oddysey, problem is when I play on high preset I get 70 stable fps but when I switch to very high I get 20 and it crashes, my guess it’s might be something with shader compilation, seeking for help

Hey help a guy out ... i have this very low end system and was wondering if windows would be better on it than linux in terms of gaming .

I have an RX 6600 and a Ryzen 5 5600X.

My problem is basically that if I leave Linux open for too long, like 3-4 hours, when I try to open a game, the FPS is very low. For example: I was studying, then I went to play after a few hours and this problem occurred.

I had this problem on Fedora, then I switched to CachyOS and the problem persists.

Edit: I'm using KDE Plasma without extensions on CachyOS.

One thing that solved it was logging out and then logging back in or just restarting the PC. For some reason, it returns to normal.

Please help me.

Over the course of these past couple weeks I was doing updates mainly focused on allowing people to be able to run their games outside of steam if they wanted to. This new update now applies the new features to the decky plugin version of NSL. When you install a game, the desktop mode will get a .desktop file of that game. Working with KDE and ready to play through steam, or Standalone without steam running. :)

Suddenly have this starting to show up, what is needed to be done? Weirdly re-opening steam is fine, but this comes up each time the OS is booted.

The odd part is here, I don't have any flatpaks installed. I do however have two steams, "Steam" and "Steam (Native)", assumably installed from the cachy OS gaming-meta package.

OS: CachyOS

As you can see I got this error while playing Genshin Impact on my Steam Deck this morning. 😭✌️

Is there a current fix for this. Its error code: 10010 - 4001.

For example if I look at wine, I don´t really see issue one can contribute on (on github at least). Can someone guide me on this?

Of course wine is an option but I am open to many other projects, essentially I want to help the community so that people are more encouraged to switch to linux for gaming as well. I have both knowledge of C/C++ but im also interested in kernel and drivers

Cannot play vr recently due to mesa and driver issues. Keep getting an error that it cant connect to window manager. How long till the issue is fixed?

Just so you know, I love Mint and kinda have been using for years, but then I started wanting to game on Linux (just because) and wanted to get rid of windows.

My video board is a RTX 4080 SUPER. All the rest I think it's irrelevant.

And I prefer a resolution of 4k (3840x2160)

Linux Mint:

PROS

• Everything works fine, I love the installer, I love how everything works and you don't have trouble with tweaks and shit.
• Easy to install anything
• You are in control to tweak here and there as nothing comes pre-configured.
• The Sleep or Screen shutting down are not a problem. The screen will turn on.

CONS

• Fractional Scaling is still terrible as some games won't coupe with it. My Red Dead Redemption 2 will use a resolution of 5k per 3k or something because I'm on a scale of 150% as I wanna use a 4k resolution in my monitor. This breaks the game btw.
• Streaming in Discord is still an issue for X11. Everything gets slower dropping frames when streaming.
• Screen tearing as I prefer 4k resolution. The solution is to enforce Full Composition by NVidia settings, but this will cost some games that use DXVK (e.g. Warcraft 3 Reforged). You need to disable the Full Composition by NVidia to make these games run.
• Sunshine Streaming will lose the mouse cursor in the remote screen when accessing it for the second time. (I found someone mentioning a fix for that here in reddit, but it didn't work for me. I think it's because of me using NVidia).

CachyOS

PROS

• Installer simpler as well.
• Easy to install anything (Except that I'm a bit scared of what "paru" is doing. I get scared of how much it does when I install "nordvpn-bin". So much script and shit).
• Games work super good on it. Only in CS2 I have to enable XWayland, so Steam overlay is able to work with it.
• Fractional Scaling works better. I don't see the same trouble as in Linux Mint.
• Discord streaming works fine as well. I don't notice dropped frames as in Linux Mint.
• Sunshine Streaming don't lose the mouse cursor as in Linux Mint.

CONS

• Screen tearing still happens on 4k resolution.
• Sleep or Screen shutdown still requires from you to type CTRL + ALT + F1 and then F2 to make the screen turn on again (which is opening terminal session and then back to graphical).
• Sometimes I don't like the much it's been done for me. I like to install and configure some stuff by myself.

Right now I'm sticking to CachyOS as I wanna still keep playing some repack games on my TV and sometimes join some Discord with my friends. Sometimes I stream on Discord too.

I want to Switch to Linux but i do Play a Lot of Unreal engine Games and Vrchat with virtual Desktop can anymore recommend me one distro? And Support
