Ok, after seeing few posts here and on Steam Deck subreddit about Lossless Scaling, NTSync and Wine Wayland I've decided to try it and, well, I am impressed. I've tested it on few games, like Baldur's Gate 3, Kingom Come Deliverence 1 and Path of Exile 2 and it went great except the last one. On example of Kingdom Come Deliverence, which, on my gaming laptop with RX 7600S, it went from fluctuating 55-80 fps to very nice looking, smooth 150-165 fps on high settings on Heroic. On PoE2 on the other hand Lossless Scaling go full blur, so it's definitely room for improvement (or maybe I need spend more than hour to properly set it up...).

If anyone is curious I am using Arch Linux with 6.15.6-zen kernel on KDE Plasma Wayland. I've also used latest Proton-EM. Parameters looked like this:
ENABLE_LSFG=1 LSFG_MULTIPLIER=4 PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 %command%

Please note, that the biggest improvement from these three is Lossless Scaling, but I think that with Wine Wayland and NTSync enabled it is smoother? More consistent?

Did any of you tried this combo? What is your experience?

Okay so before I give any specs, I will say that I do not really have money to upgrade rn and it does have some very old hardware, anyway:

Specs:

CPU: Intel i5-9400f GPU: (The really bad one) Nvidea GT 730 RAM: (Actuallyt decent, but i upgraded it a while back) 16gb copsare vengance pro (DDR4, 2x 8gb sticks at 3200MHz)

I just wanted to ask cause right now, I have steam, firefox, discord amd task manager open and am using 8.3gb of memory (how the fuk did this thing run when it only had 8gb I will never know) and I know alto of it will just be windows, like my 4 apps that are open take up like 2 gb)

I also heard that older nvidea cards (Like mine) can perform worse on linux, but it mentioned direct X 12, and I don't think mine can actually run that...

Any way, is linux a good fit?

(I might look into arch, if thats good, but im good with ubuntu aswell)

UPDATE: Thank you for the comments, I will be continuing with my currewnt graphics card fior now just due to where I live, and will be saving for a budget pc thats a bit better than this one.

What are good emulators to use for Nintendo DS/3DS and wii u on Linux? I've already got dolphin, parallel launcher, and mgba, but I've never heard about any for the ds family or wii u

I try to make higher quality videos in the future. Still new to all of this.

I’ve been trying to sync my Steam Cloud for RimWorld for a bit now, but it keeps saying it’s out of date and that the last time it synced on my main PC was April 27th. I’ve played since then on that PC, and when I check there, it also says it’s synced. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and still nothing but it telling me the last time it has it marked as synced was April 27th. My PC says otherwise.

I'm looking to upgrade my GPU (been using a GTX 1060 6GB that I got around release date) and where I live I can get an RTX 5070 Ti for ~50 USD more than an RX 9070 XT. I know that the Nvidia card is a faster card compared to the RX on Windows, but with Nvidia cards generally having worse performance on linux I'm not sure how much of a performance difference there would be between those two cards on linux.

I dont really care that much about RT (though admittedly I haven't had that much experience with it), but DLSS is really nice to have, even though from what I heard FSR is really catching up.

So which one should I get?

This appears 90% of the time while gaming.

I’ve been using Mint 100% for 3 months now and I love it. I used to game a lot but since becoming a Dad I’ve fallen out. I really want to get into playing games with my younger siblings but I need some help upgrading my graphics card. I want something decent (not the best) that isn’t going to absolutely destroy the bank max $600 and AMD. Right now I have a 1650 super I got during Covid prices. Any recommendations? It can be older if it’s known to be a good deal. I’m not a complete noob just new to AMD cards.

Any help is appreciated.

Today I tried to install Steam on my PC, but the operating system is Ubuntu Mate, I installed it and everything was fine, but when I opened it the message appeared: fatal error: steam needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again. Can anyone please resolve this?

Hello, i've been searching and trying for a while, and can't make it work.

I'm new to linux and to this distro. I've tried to install waydroid but it seems that doesn't work

Help please!

why is it flickering that crazy?
ive tried to change wine backend to opengl - doesnt help
in old warcraft 3(non reforged) doesnt have this problems
how to fix it maybe U know?

I guess install Linux now is like installing an app

• Os: Linux Mint-x86_64
• CPU: I5-13600K
• GPU: RTX4070
• RAM: DDR5 32GB
• Platform: Steam
• Nvidia Drivers v550.144.03

So my CPU/GPU stays cool, and I don't see bottleneck between CPU and GPU. I can be playing for 1 hour and then the game crashes, everything else works. And it happens with different games run by Proton (Palworld and Cyberpunk), Minecraft is fine and I haven't try any other game.

I also followed ProtonDB configs from people and nothing happend (Also the games runs high fps, palworld almost 200FPS and Cyberpunk around 100)

Okay so I created a package derivation for LSFG-VK on NixOS. However It acts strange.

https://github.com/urioTV/nix-flake-config/blob/master/custom-pkgs/lsfg-vk/default.nix

So when I test it with vkcube it works. When I test it in some games in logs I can see that it is running but I do not see any improvement in terms of FPS. I'm not that good with vulkan and libraries dependencies so maybe someone here will be able to help.
