Hey guys. I have a legion 5/260/5060 that arrived Saturdayb ut for some reason I can't get Linux to recognize the 5060 even though windows does just fine.

ubuntu 25.10 with non-free enabled Fedora 43 and 42, non free Pop os with updated kernal and Nvidia Nobora with Nvidia

In the bios dedicated GPU mode goes to a black screen after unencrypting the drive and I'm assuming that's because it's trying to output to something.

Hybrid mode works but drains the battery like crazy and iGPU mode is good but I only have the amd graphics.

1. Fedora is giving me too much crap, it's either force integrated and boot normally or go discreet and not be able to get into the OS and often luks encryption totally breaks

2. Ubuntu won't recognize the GPU no matter the modr and install the drivers

3. Secure boot on or off is a mixed bag of nonsense with the drivers

4. Pop works, but the issue is old cosmic gives me options to switch GPUs but I have to go into the bios to match the setting of the power profile. Also, cosmic beta is always hybrid graphics so my drain is awful.

I just want to to be able to play my games without fuss but there's no AMD GPUs outside of the ROG strix but I'm not paying 2K for a tablet and the framework 16 battery is awful no matter the CPU choice.

Hello everyone, I decided to give PoE 1 a go after PoE 2 and ran into some problems, so I ask for your help. These problems are pretty similar to what I encountered when I first tried to play PoE 2 on that same setup. I'm using Void Linux with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, running games with GE-Proton10-4.

When I run the game it launches a blank black window and there's GGG intro sound playing for half a second, then it freezes. I encountered that same problem with PoE 2, but I was able to fix it by just specifying DirectX12 as the renderer in game's config file. Apparently this issue is common and the reason is NVIDIA doesn't work with Vulkan renderer for that game.

As for PoE 1, it can't even generate a config file, it's empty, I've tried multiple times. Providing just renderer setting does nothing, multiple somewhat different steam launch options don't work as well. Just in case, older versions of proton don't work as well, game doesn't even run with them. Logs indicate game's trying to use Vulkan despite all the effort.

The error in the logs:

2025/10/14 04:33:55 32620832 5d3b058b [INFO Client 344] [VULKAN] acquire: vk::Device::acquireNextImageKHR: ErrorOutOfDateKHR

I'm using GOG for the first time. I downloaded Stargunner .sh file from the official library. Is it safe to run it without checking any parameters? Are GOG games safe to download? Can there be viruses? Because I heard about malware cases on Steam.

If I understand correctly:

• I install a Linux distribution (I want to use PopOS, it looks good. It looks professional).

• I download Heroic Game Launcher, and install my offline games with it (from GOG.com via offline installers)?

Is that all?

Running into a bug on Mesa-git and normal aur, but when playing either game if I go into the menu and exit out the mouse stays on screen not moving until I alt tab. Going back into the menu or inventory screen makes the issue re appear.

Usage is very simple, provide Doom base WAD (Doom 2 recommended) and list of additional WAD/pk3 files and the tool will generate self contained instance of the game, setup and ready to play, eg. ./doom-builder -w /path/to/DOOM2.WAD -f /some/mod.pk3 -f /another/mod/file.wad Also you can use the doom instance to run other wads, simply pass these as positional parameters ./doom /path/to/brutal_doom.pk3 will run the game with all provided mods and Brutal Doom on top.

Suggestions/Critique very welcome Cheers

Hey All, lately i've been having an extremely weird issue with my PC where whenever I'm trying to play a game that's fullscreen, it freezes and doesn't unfreeze until i tab-out or figure out how to make it windowed. I finally got tired of it after trying to play Modern Warfare Remastered earlier and not making it past the opening credits of the main menu. It only seems to happen with non-native games (i.e. windows games), so I'm not sure what that's about.

Here's my system info:

If anyone can help me figure this out I'd be extremely grateful. Sorry if this post doesn't have alot of info, I switched to linux only about 8 months ago so I'm still learning things. I'll also probably be slow to respond so thank you for your patience if you do try to help me! Thanks!

TLDR: despite most guides getting the 9070XT working referencing an update to firmware-update, for me just moving to the newest kernel, and Mesa 25.2 solved all my issues, it appears the latest drivers take care of the need to update firmware.

Long story.

After over 2 decades of being a hardened Team Green fanboy (not really, but never considered Radeon), despite letting AMD do all the thinking since early Athlon X2 days, I have had enough at looking at current options and planning on how far down the line I can justify upgrading to the mid tier last gen.

However, after a very minor issue moving to Linux, I decided it was time to retire my ASUS RTX 3060 12GB OC.

5060 reviews look like turd, I could have sworn that tier used to have a 30 at the end, the 5070 is now considered mid tier at top tier money, I have spent less on a car than what the 5080s are going for, and a 5090 costs more than my PS5, XBOX Series X, Switch and current gaming PC combined.

Farewell nVidia you greedy beast, red and green shall never be seen, again, in my rig anyway.

The question is where to go, full red or mix it up further with some blue. Considering Intel in any respect feels weird after all these years avoiding they price gouging, but for a GPU, Battlemage seems to be making all the right noises.

And those prices for a 12gb card looks interesting. But then again, they have just climbed into bed with the green machine, and lets face it Intel have not been looking great from a consumer perspective in recent months.

Yep, time to finally give Radeon a go. Now, I was thinking about a 5070 price point, so let's see what is around that price, ooh, what, I can get a top tier 9070 XT, how can this go wrong.

Well, I am on Linux Mint. Just because, well just because I like how it looks and feels. I have distro hopped for years I even have an arch machine which I actually use to play around with different combinations of DMs, DEs, WMs, and X and Wayland.

Cinnamon just tickles an aesthetic nerve in me, and Mint keeps it simple and stable for anyone else in the house that wants to use it. As with many of us with our linux distros, I cannot explain it, Mint just feels right for me.

Mint is not in any way adventurous. This means it is solid. This also means it is not great in any regard to new hardware. Looking for help on getting the 9070XT running in Mint is terrifying, but I enjoy a tinker so lets give it a go.

For the first time I can remember, I had to go to a website and download a driver for Linux, well the repo package for one. AMD also has a nice little walkthrough for installing their drivers, but there were no major surprises.

Woo hoo, back on dual monitors.

Doing some in game benchmarking, like RDR2 and Cyberpunk, eve threw in a HL2 Lost Coast, cos why not, and things looked good, fantastic, but randomly would get in game, then full system lockups on longer sessions. Desktop activities never faltered, but could not get a gaming session running longer than 30 minutes, I am also currently playing Deus Ex, yes that game from 2000, this is not an issue with running a heavy game.

I also spun up a Windows build to ensure it was not something hardware related, nope 4 hours in game and no lockups, thanks Windows, you helped, for a bit, back in your box.

Every "get the 9070XT working on Mint" guide is dated between March and May when the card was brand new, and mentions 3 pinch points...

• Kernel version
• Mesa version
• linux-firmware

Kernel version is an easy upgrade, get this from Update Manager. 6.14.0-33 installed, some stability tests, some more benchmarking and things look stable. Yey, win.

Did this help... no. Still got the lockups.

OK, next is Mesa version, despite being on the minimum version for the 9070XT, 25.0. The common approach is just popping the kisak-mesa repo into my apt list and dist-update. Ooh, that was easier than I expected.

Stability test and benchmarking good, but did not try a long gaming session as I believed after the kernel update failed to fix the issue the firmware would definitely be required, so did some digging around on how to do that.

The weird thing is I could not find an ELI(4)5 guide on how to update linux-firmware on Mint that adequately explains the risks and pitfalls. And I just wanted to play, I did not really feel like going down the breaking and fixing route, especially as this dealt with firmware, which had the potential to brick something.

Most of the advice is just "use the git repo", OK, use it how? What do I do with it? Mint seems to package up its firmware a bit different to the repo, I could build the repo, but all the guides in the repo are around contributing to the project, would building it actually get me any closer? Pfft, I do not need this at 1am.

I will have a look on my test rig at some point to get more comfortable with it, but for now, no, not something I can get in to right now. So, let's fire Deus Ex up and give it a go.

Previously it seemed to consistently hit a lockup at 1 specific point, which must load in some new textures, shot passed that point, carried on playing for an hour until work, then left it running in the background for 5 hours today, and no lockups, resumed active playing during my lunch, no issues at all, beautifully smooth, even better than the 3060, left it running for another 5 hours.

Looks like all my problems are gone, well gaming wise anyway, just wish other parts of my life could be solved with a bit of light fettling.

Hey all, I'm finally past my breaking point with windows and am ready to switch. I was holding out hoping that valve would drop Steam OS for desktop before W10 EOL but alas that hasn't happened. I've gotten fairly familiar with using it on my steam deck over the past few years so I was hoping to find something similar. As with most people the amount of flavors around is kind of overwhelming and im not sure what I should go with, but am more than willing to learn and tinker as needed. This will be used almost exclusively for gaming. I may need to dualboot windows for programs that only work there for non gaming things. Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, I appreciate it!

Edit: System hardware in case needed Ryzen 9 3900x Nvidia 2080 super 32 gb ddr4 3200mhz ram

To start, I want it noted that I am still somewhat new to Linux. Somehow I have managed to dual boot windows and Linux while secure boot is still enabled. I am currently on CachyOS, and I have NOT followed the guide to enable Secure Boot as described on their wiki. However, I previously ran Nobara and Bazzite and both worked fine with Secure Boot also.

Now, I am not certain I am secure booting into my Linux side, however I know for a fact I am on my windows side as any games that require secure boot enabled for anti-cheat still work perfectly fine. When I switch back and forth between Linux and Windows, I change nothing in my bios. All I have ever done, each time I switched distros, is wipe my Linux drive and reinstalled the new distro of choice. I could probably do this again with another distro and all works fine.

I am beginning the think it might be something specific to my motherboard but I do not know.

So to the title, what have I done and how do I repeat this (asking for a friend)?

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E

CPU: 7950x

GPU: 4080 Super

Dual Boot: 2 separate NVMEs, one for windows and one for Linux

I don't know what else I can provide for clarity or to help others understand what I have done but just ask and I can try to provide more details.

Hi everyone, new to Linux gaming, having just switched to Garuda this weekend. My question: how can I get addons to work when WoW/Battle.net is installed through Heroic Launcher? Thanks!

Hello everyone, and thanks to whoever is gonna give me an answer. Considering W10 support is shutting down, and my pc can't run W11, i thought about switching to linux. i've got some questions about compatibility and performance:
I mainly play GTA 5 (offline, with mods, no online), Rocket League (online), IW4X and Plutonium (old cods launchers), steam games, minecraft (bedrock and java, bought on microsoft store).
I know not everything is plug and play. chatgpt told me i should be able to run them without issues, but i want to ask to some real people and not an AI. the main question is if i can run these games and how good they run. also if u guys can recommend me some beginner gaming distros it'd be better for me :)
