Which distribution do you recommend, and is anyone using the Nvidia 10 series?

6 Dec 2025 - 2:32am

My laptop has a GTX 1060 Max-Q and an Intel i7 processor. Nvidia stopped supporting the drivers in October of this year. Does anyone have any recommendations for gaming distributions?

In Kubuntu, How can I download the Epic Games Launcher?

6 Dec 2025 - 2:04am

OK, to be very very clear, I am NOT looking for suggestions to use Heroic or Lutris or any other Wine type program.

I just want to know how to get this download https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/download to work in linux. I am just trying to download the windows file, not looking for advice on running anything.

Anytime I try to download it, the page just refreshes and I am assuming it is detecting I am on linux and refusing the download

Thanks very much

rtx 5060 drivers for linux

6 Dec 2025 - 2:00am

man i need help, i bought a new rtx 5060 expecting it to just work but apparently not, ive tried everything to install drivers for the card. I cant understand how to though if the card doesnt have display drivers to display anything.

my old 1070 works

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

kernel 6.14.0-36-generic

so i guess my question is; how do i install drivers in either recovery mode CLI with the 5060 plugged in

or

how do i install the drivers using the 1070 beforehand to then shut down and use the 5060

como configurar apps especificos para usarem gpu dedicada ou integrada

6 Dec 2025 - 1:25am

bom, eu estou usando linux a duas semanas, e estou configurando tudo pouco a pouco (por isso o texto todo esta sem acentuacao,n~ao funciona ou o acento vem separado) e queria saber se tem como eu separar e automatizar o processo de iniciar um app como o navegador ja na gpu integrada, uso pc de mesa e tenho 2 monitores,um conectado a igpu, mas pelo que pesquisei so consigo fazer a troca clicando com botao direito, e pra mim nao atende para o que presciso (uso aplicativos que consomem bastante desempenho da placa, e uso o igpu para abrir os outros apps que nescessito

How to configure specific apps to use dedicated or integrated GPU?

Well, I've been using Linux for two weeks, and I'm configuring everything little by little (that's why the whole text is without accents, doesn't work, or the accent is separate). I wanted to know if there's a way to separate and automate the process of starting an app like the browser directly on the integrated GPU. I use a desktop PC and have two monitors, one connected to the integrated GPU, but from what I've researched, I can only switch by right-clicking, and that doesn't meet my needs (I use applications that consume a lot of GPU performance, and I use the integrated GPU to open the other apps I need).

Combining multiple AMD BC-250 (PS5 board) to enhance performance

6 Dec 2025 - 12:58am

Interesting thought, curious if and how it could work. I’ve recently seen people combining GPU’s with Lossless Scaling to increase FPS: https://youtu.be/v4uU7jOQuKo?si=_Ep6r8MZVsz88ZWU

Would this be possible with the BC-250’s?

Concerns with switching to Linux Mint from Windows 10

6 Dec 2025 - 12:33am

Silly question, but would installing linux remove save files of games?
Mainly ask this because me and my friends have a BG3 playthrough going right now and I dont wanna accidentally destroy the save file.
If it were to destroy the save file could I somehow transfer the savefile while switching OSs?

I have been having this consistent issue where the checkpoints in the air would be invisible. I don't know if anyone else had this problem before?

question about fedora

5 Dec 2025 - 10:45pm

So I have continued researching which distro I'm switching to, and I've narrowed it down to fedora. I was looking on the wiki and saw they had the cinnamon DE which is the esthetic I prefer from all the ones I've seen. I was wondering if the DE affected the version at all. I'm making the switch from Windows. so Im very new to the concept of multiple DE options.

About to ditch Windows: Why would i choose Bazzite over Fedora?

5 Dec 2025 - 9:20pm

I'm an old git and have since forever lived with the trade off / old truth that a gaming computer have to run windows. But I recently realised that I only play games från my Steam library, and as such Linux gaming is most definitely a thing.

I'm installing Linux this Christmas vacation, period.

Only thing left is to choose a good enough distro.

As an old git, I immediately thought of Ubuntu as the safe/easy choice. But I see a lot of viable "gaming" distros seem to favour Fedora?

Bazzite looks nice, and is based on Fedora. But why shouldnt I just install Fedora instead?

I need my gaming PC for two things: 1: Play my Steam Games (and I will not come anywhere close to any of the modern "anti cheat" multiplayer games, I'm too old). 2: Handling and slicing 3d files, I'm probably just going to use Lychee slicer for this unless I can find som nice open source slicer (Lychee is great, and has a Linux version already).

From what I gather I will be good on pretty much any distro, but I want a reasonably easy installation and setup. I'm not looking for a ton of customization, if I boot up my computer and it looks and feels like any old boring desktop thats fine with me as long as its running Linux under the hood and lets me do my two main hobbies.

Any downside to Fedora with a standard KDE desktop? My reasoning is that Fedora is big, well maintained and is guaranteed to be updated?

Let's be honest, is it possible for Linux to become a gaming powerhouse?

5 Dec 2025 - 9:18pm

I'm not here to attack anyone, I'm just wondering... I've been creating games on Linux for a while now and recently created another free experimental artistic anti-game (https://arthursouzasally.itch.io/banal), but I started to wonder if there's a possibility that in the future the Linux-based gaming market could grow and become king of something...

I'm not asking if Linux will one day dethrone Windows as the world's leading gaming platform, but sometimes "Where are the most experimental games?" or "Where are the most artistic games?"... Do you think this is possible or is it just the delusions of someone who develops on Linux and ports to Windows?
