Hi, I recently found these 2 projects on github to install a fsr3 fg/dlss enabler mod and a vulkan lossless scaling layer.

https://github.com/FakeMichau/fgmod
https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk

Did someone tried these yet? Are they safe to install or a bit sketchy to you?

My apologies for a terrible waybar setup 🙂

I'd suggest anyone to try it out and see if it works but be mindful that it's a 100GB+ download.

What I also noticed is that it wants a lot of CPU, my Ryzen 8500G really struggles with everything maxed out (RTX 3080 can do stable 60 at 4K easily) and I should definitely upgrade. Reason is my 7900x died and I decided to buy a cheap one to just get me through the RMA process. Anyway, I digress.

I think we should show some support for game developers that don't prevent their games running on Linux.

I am trying to install steam here is a screenshot

I recently built a PC and installed Kubuntu on it. When I started playing Geometry Dash, I noticed my framerate wasn't stable, which was weird because this PC should've been a noticeable upgrade from my gaming laptop. My GPU fans weren't spinning much, so I checked the system monitor, and whenever GD was open, my integrated GPU usage went up, and vice versa. I installed Mangohud so I could easily check a lot of games, and none of them regularly used my dGPU.

I tested this on 5 OpenGL games (Geometry Dash, tModLoader, Celeste, Stardew Valley, and Moonstone Island) and 1 DXVK game (Palworld). Palworld used my dGPU for about a second near the start, but then only used my iGPU.

This issue happens out-of-the-box. My monitor is plugged into my GPU and no other monitors are attached. My launch options for all games I tested were:

mangohud %command%

And here's some specs I think are necessary to share:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600x

GPU: Intel Arc B580

Distro: Kubuntu 25.04

Kernel Version: 6.14.0-29 generic (64-bit)

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me find a way to fix this.

got this error sorry for the busy looking screen had issues takeing a screenshopt. Im running kubuntu 24.04 and am using heroic launcher, not sure whats going on game is on proton ge

Thinking of switching over to Linux for gaming, Just wanted to make this post to ask something that I've been wondering about for a while

I'm considering upgrading from my 1660 SUPER to one of 2 GPUs

- 9060XT 16GB

- 5060Ti 16GB

Both have similar performance on Windows from what I've seen, so that's not really a concern

From what I've seen, the 9060XT is best for Linux as AMD GPUs seem to be more stable, more compatible and don't have driver issues resulting in FPS loss

However, the 5060Ti does have some stuff exclusive to NVIDIA GPUs, like CUDA and NVENC, that might be important for me as I'm thinking of going into game dev and content creation

Was wondering whether NVIDIA GPUs are still bad enough on Linux that I should go with AMD and sacrifice the NVIDIA stuff, or if NVIDIA GPUs are okay now enough to the point where I can use them without worrying too much about stability and performance in games

When steam opens, it the window seems to copy whatever other windows were open on the desktop at the time. I’ve taken a photo to show here. Steam is actually open, as seen by my cursor hovering over one of the tabs in the picture. I have no clue how to fix this, I attempted to look up solutions, changed PerfersNonDefaultGPU to false, but so far nothing has worked.

I am very new to Linux, so I really have no idea what I’m doing here. Any help is appreciated.

I have switched to Linux Mint from Windows. I just cant seem to get FM 24 to work on Linux Mint for some reason. I am using Nvidia GTX 1650 and checked protondb but all the solutions on there didnt work for me. Has anyone got a solution for me ?

It's native package has the game blacking the background out. This isnt the case when I run it on Proton.

OS: KDE neon User Edition x86_64

Used Wine tkg staging 10.13 for both benchmarks, and no, offline mode doesn't improve anything, here's another benchmark that proves it.

The game benchmarked is Zenless Zone Zero

I'm not really new to Linux in the slightest. Though I've always had a windows pc for gaming. Though with a recent windows update giving me an $8k paperweight I'm cutting off Microsoft permanently. One of the last reasons I've hung onto Microsoft was not looking into whether or not I can reasonable run world of warcraft on Linux and have it be performant. However in light of the costly mistake of continuing to trust Microsoft I'm ready to either completely cancel the wow subscription or try to get it running on Linux.

Any pointers or tips or experiences running world of warcraft on Linux?

Hi, I am launching BAR on Linux CachyOS using appimage file.

I have Xiaomi Pro Book 15.6 laptop with dual GPU and Nvidia MX 150 Dedicated GPU. Desktop env: KDE Plasma on Wayland.

I'm trying to force the game to use dedicated graphics card but no luck yet. I've tried to start launcher with the "prime-run" property, but when in game - I still get the warning that Intel GPU is used.

When I launch games using steam - PRIME Offload works fine, but BAR has a dedicated launcher written in electron, that lauches spring app.

Accortdin to CachyOS wiki and Arch docs PRIME Offload is the way, but it doesn't work for me in this case.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#Configure_applications_to_render_using_GPU

Not a linux expert, so I'll appreciate any help here.

Latest drivers, fresh installation of CachyOS (happened with other distributions as well)

Anyone else with this issue?

i am very confused why this happens. It only started less than a week ago and i did not do anything major. i think. Happened on No mans sky; Wuthering waves; and Path of exile 2.
Also i have noticed that my fans dont spin faster even when i am reaching 80°C+. i am very confused on how to fix that. i had that issue with windows many years ago too, but fixed it with bios setting. however now these setting dont exist anymore (or something(MSi Motherboard)).
The only thing that might have something to do with it, that i used Windows recently (on another drive) and i have hear that windows likes to break things...

Please help. i am lost and have no idea what to do......

So, as you have read in the title im thinking of switching to linux, or to be precise: Bazzite, so what things should I put into consideration? would there be any tweaks I would have to do or what?

So, I've generally gotten VR to work for most things pretty damn well, but this one is proving to be a pain. Starting No Man's Sky through SteamVR does the expected thing that it does in a lot of other games, laggy tracking and a lotta ghosting, looking like really low FPS. If I use Monado, the game itself seems to work ok, but the controls are all broken. Snap turning doesn't function at all, smooth turning stays at max speed no matter how low I set the sensitivity, and the grip controls don't work at all once inside a ship, so I can't grab the handle to exit. It also seems that the icons for a lot of the controls in the tutorial are replaced with exclamation points in a yellow triangle. Seems something about going through Monado is breaking the way NMS reads my controllers.

Anyone know how to get surround sound working for this game?

Seems they removed the in game settings from the enhanced edition in favor of querying the Operating System but it's not detecting my 5.1 setup.

I've been wanting to play Fo1 and Fo2 recently, so I installed them on my main rig, it is perfectly fine up to the main menu. where my cursor dissapears and won't reappear. I tried both on my Steamdeck and it worked just fine, So it can't just be a exclusive Linux issue. Any ideas?

I'm using the official launcher (not flatpak) and I have the texture packs in the right folder. And the texture pack has the right file structure. But the texture packs don't even show up in the settings in Minecraft

I'm using Arch btw
