- RTX 4070

- 5800x3D

- 32 GB Ram

I've tried several different distros, looked and tried different solutions such as disabling c-states and lowering my ram hz. It can happen 1 minute in, or two hours in. When opening dolphin or playing a video game. I want to give up so bad, but I want a HTPC so bad. I don't know what to do. I tried a year ago as well, making reddit posts and posting crash logs that were almost impossible to obtain as my system constantly froze to no help. I have absolutely ZERO issues in Windows 11.

Hi! I’ve noticed that my mouse skips over the hotbar and other scrollable elements in Minecraft. It’s not a hardware issue — I tested multiple mice and the problem persists with all of them, and its ONLY in Minecraft all other apps are working correctly. When I boot into another Linux installation (which is also Fedora 43), the issue does not occur, so it seems specific to my main system.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for any suggestions!

By the way, I’m using Prism Launcher for Minecraft.

Now that the Steam Machine is releasing it has gave me confidence it switching from Windows to Linux.

Before I do though I have some questions.

Is there a Distro good for gaming or will any do the same job?

Do I just have to leave the games I bought on Microsoft Store since they are UWP?

For games like GTA V that have Anti-cheat, Should I just dual-boot or use a VM?

Bought arc raiders last night and for the life of me can not get my mic to work. It works in every other game/software I use it on, it has permission, i have my mic selected in game, i tried open mic and ptt. Tried proton experimental, GE, 9, and 10. All same issue.

First raid we were getting hit by one of the rocket things and my teammate called an elevator. It arrived and i booked it inside not realizing that It had an auto leave countdown so I ended up abandoning both my teammates by accident. I listened to them both call me a douchebag for leaving and couldn't apologize lmao.

Anyway any help would be great.

Hi so i would like to buy minecraft currently on my mac and was wondering since i have another laptop that i recently made to run linux mint on, if it is possible for me to download the minecraft launcher and then just log in onto my linux laptop and run the game from there if i want? or will the purchase always be tied to my mac laptop?

Thank in advance!

Hello guys,

i have a Samsung G80SD monitor and it has problems with the DP 1.4 port with Linux. Even with 120Hz only in 4k. I always get black screen flickering every few seconds. However in Windows it is fine with DP - max settings with 4k 240Hz in Game Mode (i need that mode to enable VRR). But i'm fine with 120Hz on Linux, i just want the VRR experience that's it.

so my Linux alternative is using HDMI 2.1 and my monitor has no problems with flickering issues at 4k120Hz Game Mode with my Kubuntu 24.04 LTS OS.

But as i know HDMI 2.1 is not supported for AMD and i don't get any VRR options (in DP 1.4 i could activate VRR, but if i plug HDMI it disappears).

Do you know how i can fix this problem? I've seen some comments with a recommended DP to HDMI 2.1 adapter. but which one? do i plug in HDMI on my monitor and use a DisplayPort Adapter on GPU slot? or the other way around? I don't have any adapter yet, so if i need to buy one i want to be sure that's possible.

Or anything else?

TLDR: i currently use 4k 120Hz without VRR. DP 1.4 is not stable (black screens). so i have to use HDMI 2.1 and i want VRR - how can i do that?

i was playing a game and i really liked the shaders in it,how can i get them? i use arch and sober(obv)

So i was playing a game and then there was shaders in it and i really like it, and im wondering can i get shaders for sober??

bought this pretty impulsively as my first ever sim wheel, wasn't expecting a challenge

Ive been trying to get this working, Ive messed with the steam controller settings and with the "overseer" tool but nothing seems to recognize it as a wheel, however because this is my first wheel I cant tell if there's something I am missing or if my specific model isn't recognized

I dont actually have farming simulator, just bought this model as I thought the side panel would be useful and the general price point. So if there is some special drivers or something in farming simulator (which im pretty sure wouldnt be a thing) than I dont have that

Distro: Linux mint 22.2 Cinnamon
Kernal: 6.8.0-87-generic

Hey!

Has anyone managed to get Need For Speed with the Logitech G29 working? I can start the game normally but the G29 is not detected in NFS Heat. It shows as an Xbox Controller. I have it in PS3 Mode and configured it with Oversteer but it just does not get detected.

Do you have any clue why?

Hello guys,

English is not my fist language so please be kind with me.
I want to tell you my story of trying linux. One day I thought I was done with Microsoft once and for all I switched to Nobara Linux. I'm a bit of a techie and it has been 15 years ago that I tried Linux and I thought, there must have been some Quality of Life advancements.

And damn was I right: My favorite game ran on steam with a few tweakings. I was hyped! Until I ran into my first issue, using onedrive on linux - from 0 to 100 I was thrown into a world of shell commands I only half understood a dozen different ways to do something where none of the worked flawlessly.

I stood tall and managed to overcome all of those small annoyances.

But now after half a year comes my big IF: I have two computers and both of them seemingly random brick in a frequency of 3-4 weeks in a way that costs 4-5 hours to fix. None of the issues where repeatable. Lost pgp key, bricked Kernel Updates, not working drivers, Nvidia Update Problems, not working wirless card, ... you name it. All happening one after another.

Today is the day I downloaded a Windows ISO on my laptop. After the one machine can't update because the boot partition is defaulted to small and can't be enlarged. And the other machine suddenly booting to emergency mode, no matter which kernel version I try.

Guys I'm so sorry. I really wanted Linux to work. But I'm done with it. I'm just so tired.

p.s. don't you do updates to "never touch a running system"? Is that my biggest fault?

The game launches but I have huge graphical issues and also low fps 4-20.

Until I start the game(menus etc) it's fine, but As soon as the game starts fps drop to ~20 and graphics are as the image above. I tried with proton-ge 10.25(and older versions) and proton experimental.

I'm playing Cyberpunk via GoG/Heroic on Fedora. Only thing I'm missing are the Dualsense features (haptic triggers) which worked out of the Box in Windows.

Any idea how I can get them running in this scenario?
