I am currently using EndeavorOS, I searched for information about it but I have not found anything, the common problems are when opening the game, not when installing... This is the official installer of the game

Hello, I'm new to Linux desktop and Linux gaming, but after a bit of a setup process, I'm generally up and running.

One question that I have is how, currently, gamescope works with Wayland, and just generally speaking what Wayland is vs XWayland vs X11.

I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma 6.3 for a DE. As far as I understand, that's a Wayland session. And for some games, to get things like HDR working (for example, Forza Horizon 5 or Helldivers 2) I need to use gamescope, which as far as I understand, runs the games in an XWayland session(?) and using gamescope on these seems to get HDR to work (as far as I can tell). But I don't know the advantages vs disadvantages of it. Nor why it seems like a game like Counter Strike 2 runs just fine without gamescope. Furthermore on the Arch Wiki for gamescope, it says I need to use a command to "expose the Wayland session to gamescope". I don't really understand what that does or why I would want to use it, or when I should use it?

I've read several posts and what not about it, but the most comprehensive seems to be from 11 months ago, but none of them really just flat out answer my question of what exposing the session does, as well why I might want to do it. So looking for a bit more up to date info on all of this, and some of the other questions.

One further question, as an aside, does turning DLSS on in the game settings just function normally or do I have to do some weird command to get that working too?

To further add, my machine uses the latest Nvidia beta drivers (575.51.02). Thank you for any help or insight into all of this.

So Clair Obscur is the game that started my long journey of distro hopping, and I finally landed on EndeavorOS...X11 (Gnome) though. After playing around with drivers straight from the Linux git, whatever is the latest Mesa, and Zen kernel, I got a nice 45 fps on Epic settings at 2k Resolution. On Wayland, this dropped to low 30s/high 20s. Don't ask me why this is.

But randomly, my screen had Parkinson's during cut scenes and completely glitched out/went down to 10 fps. Particularly rainy scenes were hell on my rig.

So I decided I had nothing to lose and installed this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/clairobscurexpedition33/mods/4?tab=files

Changed the launch settings to start the mod and we're gucci. Now I get ~70fps on Epic settings and no more Parkinson's? Occasionally I can see the screen start to glitch out but it immediately goes back to normal. Oh and using Wayland on this game is now actually better than X11. I don't really understand this.

Don't get me wrong, beautiful game. I haven't played a game this good in years. But holy optimization failure, Batman!

Relevant info:

• AMD 5800X3D
• AMD 9070 XT
• Samsung 990 Pro 4TB
• 5120 x 1440 Samsung Odyssey G9 (Don't buy this monitor)
• Some Asus motherboard that I hate (X570 I think)
• 64gb DDR4 3000
• RGB everywhere (for extra frames)
• EndeavorOS Mercury that I type "yay -Syu" into the terminal every two hours it seems
• Proton 10.0.0.1 (I should check out GE proton...)

So yeah, someone explain this to me.

I noticed a new NVIDIA driver (570.153.02) has been released on 19 May
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/245669/

• Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications and compositors to stall when using NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink ("Reverse PRIME"), potentially resulting in a black screen.
• Fixed a bug that led to increasing memory usage in X11 OpenGL and Vulkan applications after suspend/resume cycles.

I'm currently on Fedora 42 and have installed the akmod-nvidia driver.
How can I update to the new version, or when is it usually available through the RPM Fusion repository?

Hello! How are you?

I'm having trouble with FH 4. The game runs fine, but only in windowed mode.

If I put it in full screen, I just get a black screen. The strange thing is that the game still works, the music plays, the menu works, but nothing is visible.

When I open the application launcher, or do ALT + TAB the game is visible, but the moment I go back to the game sale, it goes to black screen again.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Hello, how are you? I recently migrated to Linux Endeavor, I'm still learning how to use it and I tried to download Genshin through Lutris/Heroic and in every attempt the PC would crash and force me to restart. I'm using version 10.3 of protonGE now, these are the Lutris settings so far. I kept the default when I installed and, at most, I tried to change the DXVK version. I tried using AAGL to download and at one point it worked to run the game, but there were a lot of graphical errors. I still haven't been able to find a solution. I don't know if this is where I could post this, but could someone help me?

There’s a rumor that Steam will be integrated into the Xbox app, as Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a new OS for handheld PCs and their next-gen console.

What’s your opinion on how this might affect Linux gaming? Wouldn’t this be bad for Valve, especially as they’re expanding SteamOS to other devices? And how could this impact Proton, Steam Deck and Linux gaming in general?

In my opinion, it would be great if Game Pass were integrated into Steam instead.

Is it possible to use KWIN as the compositor while using Hyprland for the DE? I want the latest benefits of KWIN for gaming, but I also want to use a tiling window manager

Hi,

I am in need of making it so that I can use the windows build of CS:GO through steam proton, i am currently stuck in a limbo of getting the error message that steam isnt connected (when launching through steam linux client) and launching it succesfully through wine steam but then crashing due to using vanilla vine (Steam wine doesnt work with proton) I tried adding the -steam to launch options but nothing is working..

(I have to use the windows build for specific reasons, I will not use the linux build.)

Kind regards.

Hello, I wonder how you can move your Minecraft installation to a different location? I have an SSD only for games but currently it's located on my home drive. I can't edit the installation via launcher GUI.

/home/username/.minecraft to

/mnt/30b698bf-1dc6-4bf7-b114-db8cd09a399a/.minecraft

Moving the data is one thing but how to I tell the launcher to use this new location as working directory?

This is with GE-Proton-9-27. Trying with GE-Proton-latest instead gives an "Assertion Failed" error. Disco Elysium works fine for what it's worth.

I've looked just about everywhere and nowhere i have found one that includes them. I did setup app armor just fine on my own, with other predefined profiles from a developer, on vanilla Arch. It was kinda plug and play. But other than that I haven't seen a arch distro with them enabled by default. I wanna game on one of those distros.

I'm on fedora 42, using the rpm steam package, with an AMD gpu. My steam controller works fine for the games I've tried it with, and my dualsense controller is less reliable. Neither work for Elden ring however. I have tried setting the desktop configuration to gamepad, installing and using gamescope, tinkered endlessly with the steaminput settings, enabled and disabled big picture mode and neither of them work, turned the steam overlay on and off, updated both steam and my computer, and none of it has changed anything.

The touch pad is recognized as a mouse, even if I have that disabled in the desktop and game configurations, but none of the buttons do anything. They work perfectly fine in the overlay however, and in the steaminput test thing everything was registering fine. This has driven me a bit crazy as none of the solutions online have worked for me. If anyone has ANY ideas please share them, i really don't want to use the workaround of using the mouse and keyboard template for my controller and I outright refuse to play the game with an actual mouse and keyboard lmao

I've been having issues lately with games having terrible performance. I'm running a Framework 16 with dGPU AMD RX 7700S. After a short period of playing, my framerate suddenly drops and performance is all around abysmal. Looking at nvtop, my peak power draw from the GPU is around 40W. Nowhere near the 100W it should be drawing. I tried setting the performance level manually with:

echo profile_peak | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level

And that helped yesterday but it's not working today. I'm using tuned and the performance profile.

Any ideas why my GPU is being throttled? GPU temp is around 63C. What can I do to get my GPU running at fully potential?

Many of you guys came here curious to try Linux because of PewDiePie's video or you: * are tired of the Windows bloat * are tired of forced Windows updates * don't like/want Windows 11 * hate windows spyware/telemetry with a passion * want better gaming and system performance * want to revive older hardware * are here for the desktop eye candy * are here for desktop customization freedom * want greater stability and control over your PC/laptop * just want to try something new

Welcome. Lets go beyond the hype. Take a look at this 8 min video by Keep It Techie (KIT). Video link ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z27nbF16xzU

Josh of KIT has been contributing quality Linux content for a while. In the 8 min. video he brings users back down to earth and level sets expectations. He explains what is hype and what is the reality. I agree with his assessment that it is great that many people are open to trying out Linux and are coming to Linux for a variety of reasons. Fresh eyes and fresh perspectives keeps things from getting stale. After looking at the video, expand the video description box and check out Josh's: * Free Linux+ certification course ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNxuTRCRjoQ * Free Linux Beginner's Crash course ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgGeGVqgt0s

In addition to the videos above, I wrote a guide for newbie Linux users/gamers. Guide link ==> https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/189rian/newbies_looking_for_distro_advice_andor_gaming/

The guide contains info. on distro selection and why, dual booting, gaming, what to do if you run into trouble, learning resources, Linux software alternatives, free utilities to aid in your migration to Linux, and much more. The most important thing at the start of your Linux journey is to gain experience with using, managing, customizing, and maintaining a Linux system. This of course includes using the apps. you want/need.

Please keep in mind that there many people in the Linux community are making positive contributions to the advancement and health of the community. This means that at some point you, the newbie, will no longer be a newbie and will have an opportunity to help others. Helping each other is how we keep the community healthy and welcoming. It would be a very good idea to ask your friends to join you on your Linux journey. You don't have to quit Windows cold turkey. Dual booting turns switching to Linux into migrating to Linux at your own comfortable pace. Obviously, back up your data before charging ahead with chances to your system, but be curious, read, explore, research, ask lots of questions, go on a google frenzy, quizz the hell out of your chat bots, and try new stuff out. Document your journey and share it with the community. Linux is awesome, but its the community that is the secret sauce.
