Let me explain better... I had installed Bazzite os, it worked for at least a year, but today after the grub menu and entering ostree:0 or ostree:1 it doesn't start and gives me a black screen (as if it didn't have the video signal). So I tried installing another distro: Pop Os, but I have the same problem there too... What's the problem? What's wrong? I don't think it's a video card problem, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get into the BIOS menu. The only way to enter the operating system is to use the "nomodeset" command. Please help me, I'm going crazy and sorry for my bad English... I hope I have expressed my problem well.

PC Components: Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5600g Video card: AMD RX 6650 XT Ram: 2 x 8 GB 3200

Edit:

-I already tried to connect the HDMI to the motherboard thinking that it would work with the IGPU

-I tried to reset the BIOS by removing the battery

title but i cant run avatar frontiers of pandora through lutris, im trying to set it up so i can use mods aswell with the universal snowdrop modloader, i own the game through ubislop connect and i can run it though lutris's library program runner thing but it doesnt have the mods enabled. here's my folders look like lmk if something doesnt look right as im new tro linux, im using cachy os if it matters too btw

After watching their latest disaster ass video comparing Windows 11 to Ubuntu 25.10, I'm now 100% convinced LTT are intentionally sabotaging the Linux desktop with their videos by shining the light at the worst use cases possible.

What makes it especially frustrating is that they explicitly say early on that you can’t meaningfully compare Windows and Linux performance because the driver models, graphics stacks, and system architecture are fundamentally different. And then they immediately proceed to do exactly that anyway. Side-by-side FPS graphs and performance charts presented as if they actually prove something. You don’t get to disclaim the validity of a comparison and then build the entire video around it. Either the data matters or it doesn’t.

Then there’s the distro choice, which honestly tells you everything you need to know about how seriously they approached this. Ubuntu is not a gaming distro. It hasn’t been for years. Outside of enterprise desktops and basic office workloads, nobody in the Linux gaming space recommends Ubuntu anymore. If they had spent less than three minutes looking at the current state of Linux gaming, they would have immediately found recommendations like Bazzite, CachyOS, Nobara, or even Fedora-based immutable setups that are specifically tuned for gaming, modern GPUs, Proton, and sane defaults. Instead, they intentionally went with the most dogshit, limited, hot-garbage option available, complete with outdated kernels, outdated Mesa versions, Snap garbage, and a packaging ecosystem that actively works against modern gaming workflows. That’s not an honest test, that’s setting Linux up to fail.

And then we get to the GPU situation, which is where the video completely falls apart. They casually mention that out of five GPUs they tested, four of them didn’t work. Guess why, you fucking moron. GPU manufacturer matters on Linux more than almost any other variable. AMD works out of the box because the drivers are in the kernel and Mesa is first-class. NVIDIA still requires proprietary drivers, correct kernel matching, secure boot considerations, and a basic understanding of the graphics stack you’re running. Tossing random GPUs into Ubuntu and acting shocked when they don’t work is not a Linux problem, it’s a competence problem. This is the equivalent of installing Windows without chipset or GPU drivers and declaring Windows unusable or those GPUs are unusable on it.

What makes this even worse is that they completely failed to mention that NVIDIA is actively fixing one of the biggest pain points they were implicitly complaining about. The long-standing DirectX 12 performance issues on Linux are finally being addressed, with fixes scheduled to land in the upcoming NVIDIA 595 driver series. This has been in development for a while now and is expected to significantly improve DX12 performance under Proton and VKD3D. That context matters. A lot. Pretending that current NVIDIA DX12 performance is some permanent, unsolvable Linux flaw while ignoring an imminent driver fix is either lazy research or deliberate omission. Neither is acceptable for a channel of their size.

Every single time LTT covers the Linux desktop, it follows the same pattern. They pick the worst possible configuration, complain about legacy issues that have been solved for years, ignore how modern Linux systems are actually used, and then wrap it all up with a smug conclusion about how Linux “gets brownie points because we wrecked its ass so hard in our video so we have to say some nice things in the last 5 minutes of the vid.” Outside of the dogshit DPKG and Snap mess that Ubuntu insists on clinging to, most of these problems simply do not exist on modern gaming-focused distributions. But acknowledging that would require doing actual research instead of reinforcing a narrative.

At this point, I genuinely think they should just stop making Linux desktop content altogether. It doesn’t help adoption, it doesn’t educate viewers, and it actively spreads misinformation. If you’re unwilling to evaluate Linux on its own terms, especially when GPU choice is a deciding factor and major driver improvements are literally right around the corner, then don’t pretend you’re offering a fair comparison. Linux gaming has real strengths, real weaknesses, and real tradeoffs. What LTT keeps producing isn’t criticism. It’s sabotage.

Para que serve essa opção no site da AMD se tudo já está no kernel? Vale a pena baixar?

I'm stumped on this one guys. I'm wondering if you guys have any idea why I can't get linux to run this CPU at 4GHZ? I don't even know how thats possible if the motherboard (GA-B75M-D3H) can't overclock. I can enable or disable turbo clocks but thats about all I can do. In Linux clocks stay at 3.6GHZ but won't go any higher. No issues with temps, runs cool. Tried different govenor settings (performance/ondemand), tried the other cpu driver by disabling intel_pstate. Checking frequency-info states that the cpu hardware can reach 3.8 on current setting but never does.

Tried x11 on Linux Mint, Fedora 43, Cachyos and same results on all 3 distros.

System specs: GA-B75M-D3H i5 3570k RX 570 4GB 2x8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz Ram 120GB SSD

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter since these were spare parts and I'm selling this system. I'm just annoyed I couldn't solve this as CS2 runs alot better on windows and would have like to store this knowledge for future scrap builders. This system was fun to build and at the same time don't want to let it go til I can solve this haha.

As soon as it will be available (and fully stable) on Linux, I will give up Windows forever, and ever, let's make this last forever

I have an old laptop, to be more precise an Intel Inspiron 14 3421, with an i3-3217u processor and integrated graphics, and I'd like to know of a good distro and even a good window manager or desktop interface. I'm already quite experienced with Linux and such, and I wanted to know a good distro for this because I'm going to give this notebook to my brother.

SO steam has the normal format of:
<Env variables> <Wrappers> %command%

I saw env variables and wrappers are essentially turned into their own things in Lutris, so I set up my env variables and enabled mangohud + gamemode via the global preferences, but now when I launch a Steam Runner game like the finals, it doesn't seem to actually show mangohud. So I'm not sure if any of my variables actually get to the Steam game when it's launched.

I'm running cachyos and Hyprland.

so i've been moving everything over from windows to linux (Zorin specifically, in case this helps), and i've generally gotten almost everything transferred over. i use a Razer Basilisk V3 for my mouse, and have installed openrazer, polychromatic, and inputremapper. however, as i try to remap my mouse buttons, i've noticed the top two buttons next to the scroll wheel aren't registering whatsoever, meaning i can't remap them.

is there something that i'm missing when it comes to fully using my mouse, or is it a case of me being SOL because razer doesn't have official linux support?

Hi. I'm using Bazzite with GNOME 49. This is my first Linux experience. I have chosen the Bazzite as it is an immutable distro so i don't break it accidentally.

I'm also using Full-AMD gaming laptop, the ASUS TUF A16 Advantage Edition with Ryzen 7 7435HS, Radeon RX 7600S 8GB and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. It doesn't have integrated GPU.

I really liked the Linux experience at first, especially the Easyeffects app which made my laptop's speakers sound great (i didn't even get close to this sound quality on Windows).

But i had noticeable cursor lags after a week of usage. This lag happens with both touchpad and USB mouse. This was never the case on the Windows.

My light games (Stardew Valley, Terraria and CS 1.6) are running smooth.

Now i wanted to try out heavier game like RDR2 which was running very smoothly on Windows. I used bit lower settings than i used on Windows but i had lots of stuttering, tried multiple different Proton layers, DX12, Vulkan, VRR off and some Steam start up codes but it didn't fix it.

Then i have tried one of my favorite games, World Of Warships and i had freezes on game menu, some of the in-game button functions was not working properly.

These performance issues on games and the mouse cursor lags made the Linux unusable for me.

How can i fix these issues? Should I try out different distros? I don't want to go back to Windows.

Most games are fine, but i tried a couple with worse optimisation/ no linux support. Today I was playing Subnautica through Heroic launcher which i thought had unofficial optimisation and my pc was really struggling (I could hear it and felt the heat from it), but I ignored it and kept playing and after like 1,5h my pc rebooted. Same happened while playing Hitman 2 through Steam.

My specs are:

GPU: RTX 4060ti

CPU: Amd Ryzen 9 5950X

RAM: 32GB

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon

I've downloaded Linux Mint 22.3 recently and I noticed that a lot of game doesn't register some of the macros on my mouse. I'm using the 12 num pad module and for some reason the "2" and the "7" do not register. They are not broken because I can use them in other app like discord to write "é" and "è" (yes I'm french and I have a AZERTY keyboard).

But in game they don't work and they register it as "numkey" or "numpad" (I can't remember exactly).

Any help would be welcomed :)

Adding a setup for caching BSA content for MPI files like the TTW installer. This should hopefully speed up the entire process of the install of TTW, or any other tools. It brought my install down from about two minutes to a minute and fourty five seconds.

Also automatic chmod + x xdelta to allow it to be executable for the installer to use if not automatically set.

Windows build is also there, and the user who is helping me test is on windows and reported that it went from the original of 110 minutes to 50 minutes before I added caching, and then finally 12 minutes with caching. They have 16GBs of ram, 11400H and a 2TB NVME for reference.
