Hello everyone! I saw this nifty article about Ubuntu and how I can make it look just like MacOS on my pc - mostly themes and icons and such. I want to switch for sh*ts and giggles because I'm curious about actually doing it. BUT what emulators work on Ubuntu? I'm a newbie so I see Dolphin and PCSX2 have Linux builds... not sure what to download. What is "flatpak" for example?

I'm trying to download the programs first so I'll heavy everything ready to install.

OR should I just stick with Windows? I can always re-install it but years of dealing with Windows... I'm ready to try something better/new!

Thanks for your time!

No really, just stop. No more platform circle jerks, astroturfing, or FUD campaigns.

Its not helpful to new comers and its not helpful to the community at large.

Stop the GPU flame war, its insanely old at this point.

Use what ever GPU you want but its simply a fact that as of right now AMD has better support. Drivers are in the kernel, better Wayland support, and game scope actually works with AMD. Things are getting better for Nvidia but its not there yet and nobody is attacking you for mentioning that.

Stop with the cringe anti Wayland FUD. Wayland is here already, its that simple. Its not going away, x isn't going to see some resurgence. X is dead and being deprecated this year officially although it hasn't really seen any major development in YEAR and barely any at all this year. Spreading FUD about it only confuses newbies and may scare them away from Linux. And no, Wayland does not add input latency.

On the topic of FUD stop the BTRFS FUD aswell. BTRFS has already been proven for years in the production and home environment. A bug from 10+ years ago in a very specific raid configuration does not magically break the FS. I find it insane how a a raid5/6 bug turned into "BTRFS eats your data.......powerloss corrupts your drives" which completely ignores how a CoW file system operates and the fact that all transactions are atomic.

Bootable snapshots, CoW operations protecting your data, on the fly transparent ZSTD compression (currently saving 700GB of space on my Steam drive), integrity protections, etc. These benefit everyone especially gamers.

No, using a custom kernel, proton version, MESA version, etc will not get you a magical performance boost. Only when there is a specific fix coming up can a custom build get you a boost ahead of mainline which is rare.

There has never been any benchmark to show using things like the CachyOS kernel actually has a tangible benefit to performance out side of margin of error/variance.

And stop the distro/DE/WM/whatever wars. Just stop. Give a few REASONABLE recommendations and details as to why and leave it at that. Your favorite thing is NOT the only one and avoid making things up when doing pros and cons.

TLDR: If we are here to promote Linux gaming FUD, fanboy wars, misinformation, and emotional thrashing aren't going to help at all.

With the latest commit (https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/commit/) you can record audio from specific applications or exclude applications from being it's audio recorded. FOR NOW THIS IS ONLY THE COMMAND LINE TOOL.

A few examples are Goat Simulator, Slime Rancher & Kerbal Space Program. It's not like it got any harder. It's just as easy as exporting a video. They're not using anti-cheat either. Correct me if you find an example. I know anti-cheat has been a problem in the Linux community because the most popular anti-cheats are kernel level. Devs literally cannot lose anything from supporting Linux. It can only benefit them.

I should start off by saying I had some problems getting MO2 to install. It was working, and then something broke and I could not get it to reinstall. Not using rockerbacon's installer, nor using steamtinkerlaunch., Eventually, I unpacked the non-installer version of MO2 2.4 into Skyrim's install directory and launched it with

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" bash -c 'exec "${@/Starfield.exe/ModOrganizer.exe}"' -- %command%

And that worked just fine. Then I let MO2 update itself to 2.5.2 and that worked too.

The problem is that I want to use gamescope to handle the game window so I can alt-tab and leave the game displaying and active. What I tried was:

SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" bash -c 'exec gamescope -f -r 144 -w 4096 -h 2160 "${@/SkyrimSELauncher.exe/ModOrganizer.exe}"' -- %command%

I used that script, adjusted for exe names for Starfield and it worked just fine. It worked for Skyrim exactly once and then no more.

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Easiest would probably be to use steamtinkerlaunch, but since that can't see MO2 that's not really viable. Any ideas would be welcome :)

So I picked this up for free via Amazon Prime gaming. Proton DB says it should work fine. It launches, goes black, then cuts back to desktop.

I have tried everything I can think of.. I have tried all different versions of Proton/Wine and launch config combinations (I'm using Heroic). I have an AMD GPU and a fairly modern/decent setup.

I get this error, which I feel might be bad:

Start monitoring process.

wine: Call from 00006FFFFFC23E77 to unimplemented function ndis.sys.NdisGetVersion, aborting

wine: Unimplemented function ndis.sys.NdisGetVersion called at address 00006FFFFFC23E77 (thread 011c), starting debugger...

wine: Call from 00006FFFFFC23E77 to unimplemented function ndis.sys.NdisGetVersion, aborting

Initial process has exited (return code: 1280)

Monitored process exited.

Exit with return code 1280

I googled ndis.sys and it seems to be related to a Windows hardware driver..?

Any ideas anyone?

What difference would it even make?

I'm sorry, I just learned rust mobile was in development today, and is "coming soon" according to the official rust twitter page. So you can support 2 whole more operating systems, Android and iOS, but not fcking enable proton support for your game on Linux? And Android is WAYY more vulnerable to cheating than Linux is, sorry, there are so many more cheats for games like Roblox on android versus Windows. It does not require more maintenance, or more people to really develop the game, proton has gotten so good the game runs perfectly fcking fine. i say you can allocate a few people to the matter, not like you'd lose money, in fact its easier to bypass EAC on windows anyways from a technical standpoint?

Hey all, just wanted to share my solution for this issue I was having. I was opening MCC for the first time and it wouldn't let me log in. The solution was to switch to Proton 6.0-8 and it let me sign in. Then I went back to experimental. Hopefully this helps someone else out because I was going to rip my hair out if I didn't figure it out.

This is getting annoying, i have tried fixes i found on the internet like enabling/disabling steam imput, installing the ControllerFixes mod, connecting through usb cable instead of bluetooth but none works

i'm on zorin if that matters

I have noticed that I am getting low FPS in a lot of 3D games. I looked at my GPU power draw and when I am gaming with 100% GPU usage my GPU is only drawing 101W/310W (according to nvidia-smi). If anyone has any ideas on what could be causing this that would be great.

System Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (latest drivers)
Memory: 32GB DDR4
OS: NixOS
Kernel: 6,11,6-cachyos
PSU: 750W PSU
WM: Hyprland

Hello guys. I have an RTX 2060, and I am soon going to be swapping it for an RTX 3070.

It's worth mentioning, though, that I am not going to do this myself, instead a technician is going to do it for me. I know swapping a GPU is easy, but please respect my choice.

My question is, what am I supposed to do with the drivers before I take my PC there? Am I supposed to uninstall them? What would be the recommended way to do that?

And, after the GPU has been swapped, all I need to do is to connect the PC to the Internet and the drivers will install themselves automatically (I use Ethernet so no potential wifi issues)?

Alternatively, could I simply reinstall the operating system?

How can I easily uninstall the drivers?

I am on Ubuntu.

Anyone know how to unlock the FPS on Linux? I remember there being a FPS unlocking tool on Github for windows, is there something similar for Linux? I'm running the game with Bottles on NixOS.

I just installed the GOG version of Dragon age origins because the steam version was having issues. The steam issue is thankfully gone however I now have a different issue. There is no sound. No matter what I do there is no sound in the game or the title screen. The only sound the game does is bizarrely the launcher which does have the *Dot* clicking sound when you click one of the options. It doesn't have the music though.

I think that the issue stems from Linux mint simply not recognizing that the game is supposed to have audio. I have no idea how to make it recognize the audio however. I have tried pretty much every solution that google can give me.

My OS is Linux mint. Everything is updated. Update manager says I am clear.
