Hi everyone!

I have seen a lot of comments saying that having the GPU "Power Throttling" was normal but I was wondering if it is the same with "Current Throttling".

It appears on MangoHUD sporadically while playing and I want to make sure that everything is working fine and/or I didn't make any mistake with my setup. My question is probably stupid as Power and Current are link to each other but I need some reassurance.

My hardware:

• Gigabyte 9060 XT
• Ryzen 5 9600x
• Cooler Master V650 SFX Gold

Thanks in advance for the help!

So after a lot of talking here and learning potential better options for me than linux mint to finally be able to dual boot and actually play games I found the time to give linux a second try and set up Pop!OS. Got games running and almost all windows software I need replaced with a linux or open source alternative there. Some jank but I can live with that.

But then I switched to windows and tried to play Valorant (I have friends that this is the main game we play together so not playing it is not an option in my book.), oh yeah secure boot is disabled but imma need that. Quickly enable it and boot again, ofc Pop!OS now doesn't boot unless I disable secure boot again.

Having tried the 2 fixes I was able to find between all the "nope not possible" comments both related to using refind instead of the default boot manager but I just can't get it working. 1 of the fixes I tried: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1od1ebl/nvidia_driver_not_loading_after_changing/
I cannot find the post of the other fix I tried but it was almost the same except also trying to enable secureboot in Pop!OS itself which isn't a must for me.

So I'm here as a last effort (outside of reaching out to the poster of the afformentioned post in hopes he may find what I'm doing wrong) to ask if anybody knows what I could do to secure boot windows 11 and use Pop!OS (nvidia) as well, without having to go into Bios just to enable/disable secure boot the whole time.

I'm not afraid of using a commandline or anything but I'm not tech-savvy enough to figure this out using refinds documentation as all of this stuff is a bit above my knowledge level. I also wanted to try and check the refind.config but just can't seem to get to that file in Pop!OS somehow unless I'm missing something.

hi guys I know nothing about linux I use a chroebook and I know for a fact its possible to do this but all the info ive tried to get sounds like gibberish--can I get some assistance

I've downloaded both the Hytale launcher and Flatpack without issue--its just either not allowing me to open them--or download them fully

help a girl out

When I was on Gnome, and then Cosmic I used Kooha to take videos of my desktop.

On the same system (and same linux install) I'm now using SwayWM and having trouble getting Kooha working. When I go to start a recording I get the following error:

``` Failed to start recording

Caused by: 0: Failed to create session 1: Failed to call CreateSession with parameters: Variant { ptr: 0x55899eb17550, type: VariantTy { inner: "(a{sv})" }, value: "({'session_handle_token': <'kooha_0'>, 'handle_token': <'kooha_1'>},)" } 2: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop ```

I'm struggling to figure out what's the best way to resolve this. Anyone have any ideas?

I just installed Mint and updated everything prior to downloading and launching some games for testing. I played Vintage Story (ran flawlessly) and then went to Overwatch 2, since it was listed as platinum on ProtonDB.

I launched it, and after letting it process the Vulkan Shaders for nearly two hours, it finally opened up.

It was a bit stuttery for a moment but then it leveled out. As soon as I clicked on a menu item (this time being the shop) the game lagged, then froze. I had to force quit it to get control of my computer back.

Anything I’m missing?

I launched the game through Steam and I’ve attached a picture of my system here

Hi, I'll keep it short.

cpu 5800x3d
gpu nvidia 3060 ti (port dp)
oled monitor 240hz

CachyOS, with only gamescope and steam installed from repo.

Game is old, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

Launch options from Steam: gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 250 -f -- %command%

Options I have tried are:

-e, --steam
--expose-wayland
--backend wayland
--framerate-limit 250

Nothing I do on this game will limit the fps.

What is causing this? This happens with or without any environmental variables. Game and system upgraded fully. Game is fine otherwise, just this in the inventory.

Arch Linux

I'm trying to mod dragons dogma 2 and it needs this funny thing called REFramework to get 2 mods in particular(this and this), I did put them in the correct places I even tried to use Fluffly mod manager with protontricks to no avail obviously. When I launch the game RE Framework does work, but it cannot make the mods themsevs work. Gives me an error that the locations can't be read even tho it acknowledges they exist.

Can anybody help?

So what are some alternative software for Steel series sonar where I'm able to game/chat mix and EQ, Logitech for MnK and rgb, and rgb for my fans and ram sticks?

Hi, I am searching an ARGB controller that is kompatible to OpenRGB. The important thing is, that I need to connect the controller via USB on my mainboard, not 5V RGB Port.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I made a cli tool for managing proton. It detects proton/ge-proton installations and uses them to run non-steam games or other software. More details can be found on my github page. You can ask anything you want through here too!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a small indie horror project I’ve been working on that runs natively on Linux.

The Taco is a short PSX style psychological horror game inspired by PS1 era graphics. It’s a story driven, atmospheric horror experience focused on tension, sound design, and slow psychological buildup rather than constant jumpscares.

The game takes place during a late night shift at a street taco stand, where the environment slowly becomes unsettling.

The demo is around 20–30 minutes long and includes two possible endings.

(native build, no Proton required).

If anyone here plays indie or horror games on Linux, I’d really appreciate feedback — especially regarding performance or compatibility.

Playable on itch.io: https://toprak-dev.itch.io/the-taco

Launch options: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
compatibility: proton 7.0-6

I can play fine with the ocassional slight performance issue, but cut scenes get weird. They don't crash the game, but are unwatchable.

Oi galera, eu começei a usar Linux faz pouco tempo e estou tendo problemas com o bottles.Ele não está abrindo os arquivos .exe, nem o que você pode instalar diretamente nele. Ele reconhece o arquivo, ele fica no aplicativo, mas se vc tenta executar-los fica uns segundos tentando abrir e não acontece nada. Alguém tem alguma ideia do que pode ser? ( Obs: eu instalei o bottles em flatpak e a distro que estou usando é mint, se isso ajuda)

Hi folks, I'm planning to buy a good laptop in this republic sale.

My requirements are: 1). Game Development 2). Android App Development 3). Cyber security tools usage.

My budget is around 90K.

Can someone recommend me best laptop which I can buy in this sale?

Sometimes (let's say, once every hour), the game freezes for 5 seconds~ or so.

On my screen everything is freezed, on the death replay (assuming I die during these freezes), I can see that the game client continues sending the command that was being sent during the freeze (such as walking forward etc).

I play OW for a long time on Linux, I had never faced this. Anyone else? Any tips?

• 5090
• 9950x3d
• 64gb ram
• manjaro
• GE-Proton10-10 (I don't remember if this also happens on Proton 9/10/Experimental)

not sure if this is the best place to ask but i just switched to Linux mint and everything is going fine so far and most of my steam games play fine... but i went to play blue prince and i tried every proton compatibility layer available and no matter which i use the game will not launch. i have tried reinstalling it and verify installed files integrity but nothing has worked yet, any advice will be welcomed. it plays fine on my steamdeck so i know its not a Linux problem necessarily.

Any help appreciated! It seems that it registered the two three way switches incorrectly. One of the positions for the second is for example only possible with the correct position of the first switch?
