Stuck at work but would be nice if anyone could verify if there’s any issues running it though proton :)

im using CachyOS handheld edition on my GPD Win 2. Works great except when using game mode and switching to desktop mode, I sometimes get a black screen and does not transistion to the desktop session. Sometimes it works but most times did not.

Researched the possible solutions:

Some people encounter this issue with decky loader plug ins. But I am not using decky loader.

Some say delete the kscreen folder in .local fixes the problem. This did not work either.

Updated to the preview brach for deck steam, did not work.

Im at my wits end. Any help would be great.

Recently I've been deciding between an rx 7900 xtx and an rtx 4070 ti super for gaming and blender on linux. on one hand linux works better with amd when it comes to gaming but since i also want to use blender, which makes me lean towards nvidia since it beats amd in productivity with no contest. but i’ve also heard that nvidia performs worse on linux than amd when it comes to gaming. so i’m asking, is nvidia on linux that bad to the point i have to give up my dreams of being a 3d modelling artist and go all amd?

oh and sorry for making it sound dramatic at the end and also sorry for bad english lol

PLEASE READ Hey everyone, I have an AMILO-D Series CY 23 with 240MB of ram and a 20GB HDD. I have tried Damn small linux and tiny core linux, but they didn’t felt good to me. I wanted to play some old games and maybe even Minecraft, just to see how well it performed. And my lovely Arch is too big to run here :( Any advice?

Finally, Witcher 3 Next gen. Let’s see how Linux handles it!

Trying to play Star Wars Outlaws in Steam on Cachyos. It won't sync the cloud saves. It says I'm logged into my ubisoft account, but none of my saves from Windows come over. Using Proton GE-27. Only thing I can think of would be to copy my game saves over manually, but then what I play on Linux won't sync the other way. It's nice to be able to play on other devices without having to copy game save data manually each time.

Hey hey,

I’m trying to build a modlist for Skyrim on steam deck. For the most part it’s going well and the modlist itself is actually working fine but I’m still working things out. What I’d like to do is to use LOOT to sort my order and check for any missing patches etc.

I’m currently using the internal ‘sort’ button in MO2. The trouble is it rarely seems to show the LOOT information in the window, I just get the progress bar saying it’s done and a blank white window underneath. Like once or twice I’ve had the window show the LOOT interface with info on the plugins and what needs cleaning/what needs patches etc.

I’ve had no luck getting the actual LOOT application working. I’ve installed it and got it working in MO2 but I can’t get it to detect Skyrim. I also tried the native Linux flatpak version of LOOT but I can’t get that to see the MO2 mods folder.

Has anyone got LOOT working properly with MO2 on deck?

Currently, no native Linux game that I install can be heard, only Stardew Valley that was already installed before the problem, it originally started with applications like VLC and Elisa (I had to manually change the audio output in VLC and Elisa like it opens without audio, closes and then opens with audio, but the native games open without any audio. How can I solve this?

OS: EndeavourOS Note: I have Pulseaudio and Alsa installed with all the components, also at times in the KDE Plasma sound settings it tells me that it could not connect to the audio system

Hi everyone,

I'm getting ready to switch from Windows 10 to Linux, and since I'm a complete beginner, I've been watching a lot of videos and tutorials to learn as much as I can.

My main goal is to have a stable and optimized system for gaming. The game I play the most is Hunt: Showdown. I saw that some gaming-focused distros like CachyOS and PikaOS exist, and I’m wondering if one of them would be a good fit for my setup.

Here’s my current hardware:

• CPU: Intel i5-4440 @ 3.10GHz
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
• RAM: 8 GB

I know this setup is technically below the official minimum requirements for Hunt, but I can still play it on Windows 10 at 60–75 FPS on minimum settings. So I’m wondering if I could get similar performance on Linux.

Do you have any distro recommendations for this kind of setup? Any tips for making the switch smoother, or things to avoid? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar transition.

Thanks in advance!

For those who are using native client for Linux. How do you guys uninstall it? Thanks.

I recently decided to switch to Linux ( got fed up with Windows 11 and Microsoft, I can't do this anymore ). My only problem is that I'm not sure how will games from the title run if even. I watched many videos but I'm still not sure how to make them work. Also if possible I would rather not dual boot Windows and Linux on my Laptop.

Could someone give me a beginner step-by-step instruction? What version of Linux would be the best for programming and gaming ( and why )?

Also, as far as I know chances of getting banned in these games are low but did it get better lately or not?

so i have never got rumble to work with my dualsense edge controller.I just kinda played for like 50 hours and forgot about it but id like to get it working. I came across a post here wher others was having the issue too but the fix provided appeared to be for windows,something about enabling the controller as a speaker output but i cant find a equivalent solution for linux. at one time many installs ago like for fedora 39 the dualsense use to show up as a speaker and annoy me but now its not a option anymore just the mic.

im using fedora 41 linux KDE

radeon 7900 xtx

ryzen 9950x3d

I’ve installed Linux Mint alongside Windows, but it seems Linux is set as the default OS whenever I boot up. How can I make Windows the default instead?

I am building a new pc (my first gaming pc) and i would love to use and test Linux cause of many reasons, but primarily Windows is expensive as fuck and privacy reasons. Sooo, i will only use AMD hardware and i am scared with a new system, what do you recommend for me guys? Like me a noob for Linux

Hello. I'm new to Linux. I'm using the Cinnamon Mint Linux distribution. I want to translate Mount and Blade into Spanish, but I can't find any tutorials for Mint. Please help me.

ALGUEM TEM NOTICIAS DO NTSYNC ?

hello there!

TL;DR - I'm looking for a distro for myself as well as my daughter - any input, ideas or references are very much welcome :)
It should be a quite easy to maintain distro and (ideally) has to be stable enough for daily use as a main device without any alternatives to fall back to. The only "requirements": KDE + easy backup/snapshot capabilities like Timeshift.

Nobara? Fedora? Posts on reddit, guides and videos on youtube seem to be split 50/50 - Nobara bad bcs small team vs. Nobara perfect gaming distro! Fedora good bcs stable but bad bcs not very up-to-date and no out-of-the-box experience! (bit exaggerated but you get the idea)

Endeavour or Cachy? Seem to be less "easy to maintain" due to being Arch-based and maintained by small teams from what I've heard.

Bazzite? Immutable right? Good? Bad?

Mint? Ubuntu? SUSE? bwoah no idea where to start tbh :/

Some background info:

So yea. My teenage daughter is "refusing" Windows and desperately wants to run Linux since her school's running Linux Mint devices ever since. She knows what she's doing, I fully trust her with this - but both of us don't want to be fixing and fiddling every other day, at least not any more than windows 11 requires.

Personally I have used Linux off and on again over the years but haven't had a distro installed since I had Manjaro/Antergos 5(?) years ago on my "just for surfing and some spreadsheets while watching TV"-Thinkpad - but ditched it when Antergos was done. Before that I had Mint as a daily for some time and Ubuntu & SUSE ~10 years ago during uni and early work experience.

Our Steam libraries have near perfect Linux compatibility (checked with ProtonDB.com) - we both mainly play games like RDR2, Witcher3, Cyberpunk2077, GTA5, Skyrim + some casual/arcade couch games that should all run 100% fine like NBA Playgrounds or MotoGP games. Even my favourite simracing titles like Assetto Corsa Competizione are supposed to run flawlessly on my Fanatec simrig thanks to kernel drivers like these here.

PC specs if these might cause concern:
My PC: Ryzen 7500f + RX 7800 XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
Daughter's PC: Ryzen 2700x + RTX2080 Super, 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD (might switch the 2080S with an RX 6700 XT of a friend bcs nvidia-experience has been underwhelming even on windows and maybe moreso on Linux)
