Distro choice?

3 hours 18 min ago

Planning on migrating my gaming PC to Linux rather than languishing on Windows 10 until I can upgrade (motherboard doesn't have secure boot, even if it does, I don't want Losedows 11, so IDC), and IDK whether I should go with Debian or Arch. I've already installed Arch once (with archinstall), but that was on a laptop I barely use.

I mostly use my computer for gaming and web browsing, and unfortunately currently have an Nvidia GPU, and I just wanted to get some advice before I make the switch.

Also, I have 9 TB of storage on this thing and I need to know a good way of migrating it to Linux because I've heard bad things about the Linux NTFS drivers and I'm not exactly in a position where I can afford to drop the cash on potentially 8-10 TB of HDD to back things up to. (Most of the data is steam games I can refownload, but it's still a mountain of crap I have to dig through to figure out what I want to back up.)

I made a simple tool for creating self contained Windows game AppImages running on Wine. Link and details in the description.

3 hours 23 min ago

Few days ago went on to making portable of Battle Brothers AppImage, game I've been playing a lot lately - ended up porting most of my library so no more Lutris for me ;)

Compatibility is pretty good, the Wine AppImage supplied runs in wow64 mode however, meaning some older 32 bit games might not run properly (since WINEARCH is always set to 64), also since Wine is under 200MB the resuling images are fairly compact.

More details and usage instructions are in the README.md file

(AMD) HTPCs and VRR/HDR

3 hours 23 min ago

So I've seen a decent amount of people talking about using those Ryzen 9 NUC-likes as HTPCs and many of them outright running SteamOS rather than Bazzite which actually sounds nice (although I'll probably still go Bazzite. And that actually sounds perfect and is closer to how I game on my TV these days anyway. Something like Silksong or Stardew I can run natively and I can stream the heavier games from my desktop over Moonlight (or even just Steam Link if I am lazy). And now I don't have to deal with MS nonsense to navigate to the Moonlight app or bluetooth weirdness on my Shield.

But I guess I am kind of confused due to my limited knowledge. From what I understand, we basically have to use display port with AMD for VRR/HDR because of licensing and drivers with HDMI. But my TV (well, actually my receiver) is HDMI 2.1 and doesn't have display ports.

Am I SOL? Because I don't mind piping a 1080/1440 image to my 4k TV. HDR is not a MUST but it is nice to take advantage of. But VRR I am more or less not able to live without ESPECIALLY when I am pushing hardware harder than I should. And there is a big difference between turning down specs to run a handheld display at a steady frame rate and doing the same on a TV.

So... any insights? I am hoping I am just stupid and misunderstanding something?

Mesa or Mesa-git?

3 hours 27 min ago

Okey so the question is pretty simple, i have used nvidia gpus most of my life. But i recently switched to Amd gpu because i like tinkering with my gpu (expose voltage controls nvidia) and nvidia drivers haven't been the best with DX12 games. I know the git version is for developers, but in general how stable it is? A little unstability i wouldn't mind especially since i like reporting bugs and tinkering with stuff. Just how good or bad is it in general?

Any luck with Nolvus on Linux?

3 hours 34 min ago

So I've been trying to set up the nolvus modpack for skyrim se on arch for a while now but the dashboard won't work for me (like it does not even open up) and setting it up manually using LIMO is a pain and i am not 100% certain that it'll work out in the end.
Is there any other way to set it up or has someone some good recommendations on how to get the dashboard working

There are some 2y old posts on here about that topic but the links are dead and there is really no explanation given

Need help with virtualization

4 hours 51 min ago

First, i would like to say that i did some research already but could not get a conclusive answer.

My system has an amd igpu and a nvidia dgpu. Im using hyprland on arch btw. I've been trying to do the following:

  • have my system normally use the nvidia gpu for everyday tasks and gaming on linux(successfully did that)

  • have a windows vm that i pass through the nvidia gpu to use(where im stuck)

What i want to do is have the nvidia gpu detach from linux mid session and attach to the vm. Similarly have a way to detach it from the vm when im done with it and use it in linux like normal.

Is this even possible? If not what would be the closest compromise that would achieve something similar.

I already know that i can use only the igpu for linux and leave the nvidia one only for the vm but thats not what i want.

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻

Can't launch nfs heat?

5 hours 26 min ago

I just bought the game, but it can't seem to launch. I've tried searching every corner of the internet, but I couldn't find anything that fixed the issue. I even have the ea app running in a bottle, but it doesn't launch. I found a post on the steam forums which seemed like they were having the same issue as me, and I tried the fix the posted, but that didn't work aswell.

Specs: 16gb of ram, rtx 3050 ti laptop, 4gb vram, amd ryzen 5 6600H, running latest version of kubnutu, with windows dual-booted, running the latest or second latest nvidia drivers from the community thingy (pip maybe???)

Spiderman Remastered VRAM Leak

5 hours 29 min ago

I recently switched to Linux, I'm on CachyOS, a distribution focused on games, but while I was playing Spiderman Remastered I saw that I had an absurd VRAM leak on the Very High 1080P, and when I tested it on Windows it handled 4K High and 2K Very High relatively well, I use an RX 5700XT 8GB + Ryzen 5 3600, if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it

Upcoming Arena FPS F.R.A.G.G. Now has Native Linux support!

6 hours 8 min ago

Hey everyone! We at HalfDream Games are super happy to be able to share that after a bit of work, our upcoming Arena FPS game F.R.A.G.G. now has official native Linux support!

HalfDream Games is a small indie team (Like 12 people currently on the team), self-funded / made by volunteers currently, as we prepare to approach publishers in the future to try and secure some kind of deal. F.R.A.G.G. is highly inspired by classic AFPS games from the early 2000's, not only in gameplay, but we are also heavily focused on bringing back gaming how it used to be... Offline compatibility, single player campaigns to support multiplayer competitive gameplay, no in-game microtransaction store (all cosmetics earnable via gameplay), dedicated servers, and official mod support.

F.R.A.G.G. is built in Unreal Engine 5 in order to maximize graphical quality and feature possibility - but we know a lot of the struggles UE5 titles have been having lately, and we spend just about as much time optimizing as we do designing.

We do have public testing builds available via website/discord; though the Linux build is not yet publically available - we are doing a little more polish before we release it (along with an updated windows build). We recently did a massive overhaul to our lighting of all maps; the current available download is pre-overhaul, so we want to ensure performance is up to par with this overhaul before we release the updated build to the public. We are still a ways away from Early Access / official release - currently in what we jokingly call Pre-Pre-Alpha.

We are also working on a total UI Overhaul currently (Not seen in photos), and adding more weapons (Current public test build is Instagib only). So, there is a lot of work underway!

For more information, the best place is Discord; the development team is super active, and we love to talk with the community. Our website is currently under heavy redesign, so we apologize how bad it looks at this moment, but you can visit that too.

Last, but definitely not least, drop us a wishlist on steam! Your support increases our odds of securing a deal in the future, and will help us speed up development time, and maximize quality.

My solo dev game with strong Moebius and Nausicaa vibes is now live on Kickstarter! It’s already playable on Linux (demo available now).

6 hours 19 min ago

Hey everyone,

Today is a really special day for me: I’ve just launched my first Kickstarter for my game Maseylia: Echoes of the Past, a 3D Metroidvania that many of you here have been supporting and following over the past two years. Your feedback and encouragement have meant a lot along the way. 🙏

👉 Kickstarter – Maseylia: Echoes of the Past

👉 Steam page

Some quick numbers so far:

  • 7,500 wishlists on Steam
  • 2,000 players tried the demo
  • 95% positive feedback

This Kickstarter is a key milestone to help bring the project fully to life and give me the chance to dedicate myself to developing it full time.

👉 How you can help:

Help! Can't get Rockstar Launcher to start!

6 hours 27 min ago

https://preview.redd.it/rp1w6g2popsf1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f3aa715e8f3baed6962de4e53f3fdf62f0456c0

After I launch Red Dead II from the Steam .deb (Steam Installer version) it shows me this message.

I also tried with custom Protons and stuff like that.

Now it did NOT happen on the Flatpak version, that somehow started to act up today and even after reinstalling several times (and "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"-ing) it was not able to launch.
So I installed the "Steam Installer" which I think is a .deb package.
Now it shows this error. Any launch options or anything to help?

Sorry if this is a duplicate, however I think this is a little specific

First Day Rough Patches & Questions

6 hours 42 min ago

Just deployed CachyOS and had few rough patches.

The first was easily fixable just annoying in that there's no GUI interface for adding drives to fstab or to add a network drive. At least I couldn't find one so I had to command line in all 6 of my drives which was annoying.

Second I have all logitech peripherals and theyre struggling. To start the mouse had about 10x vertical sensitivity compared to horizontal which finally just fixed itself once i installed "Piper" however all the other functionality within piper isnt working for the mouse. LEDs wont change and the macro buttons say theyre one thing in the software but dont actually do that.
Is there a recommended solution for logitech devices; the headset worked out of the box but, I haven't gotten around to the keyboard yet.

Third was actual game issues, I looked up the games I wanted to play on ProtonDB and my main game currently is Space Marine 2, seeing as how it is GOLD and runs on steam deck I figured I'd have no issues.
However even after trying all the recommended proton versions and launch options it still wouldn't launch the only difference I could even find between their set up and mine was they were on a nvidia driver 1 version behind mine so how do i downgrade drivers?
To add to this question, where do you start when a game doesn't work on linux? What are the signs/tells or common issues and solutions what are the obvious checks that say a game has 0 chance or could work?
I did test and run other vulkan games just fine btw.
