Hi, I’m testing some different distros as I’m recently having some issues with my current endeavouros installation.

I tested ubuntu and everything works out of the box, Bluetooth is one of those things that need constant maintenance as it’s a motherboard wifi/BT chip and it does not work well with many distros.

After many years of hate I’m actually feeling really comfortable using ubuntu but this fps drops on the desktop is turning me insane, does anyone know what could be causing this? It’s a fresh install.

Running on an AMD car RX 7800, and as you can ser the cpu and gpu are not being stress tested or anything, this can happen with only one file explorer window opened and moving it causes this, it’s easy to ser as it moves smoothly and then starts skipping frames.

It searched online for many fixes, disable vsync in wayland, in mutter, but cannot find anything useful.

Thank you so much

I use fedora kinoite and I think my problems with performance is somehow connected to nvidia graphic card I have (same games run way better on my laptop that do not have graphic card and that have kinoite too). I installed drivers with a https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#OSTree_.28Silverblue.2FKinoite.2Fetc.29 guide.

What should I do? How do I pinpoint the issue as linux noob?

Picture for what happened

The game is runned on steam without anything, no wine, just straight click play on steam.

Tried methods to solve the issue:

• sudo pacman -S wqy-microhei
• sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-cjk
• checked fonts using fc-list :lang=zh
• export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
• launched RImworld using LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 %command%
• Googling the problem

This is the second time I encounter this problem. The first time I was doing dual-boot Windows, with my game files located in windows hard drive. I got called out by people, saying that mixing usages of partition will never do me any good, and I accepted that as the cause of problems. But now I wanted to install Arch linux, specifically EndeavorOS with KDE Plasma on my laptop, and since my university lecture require us to use VMWare, I thought of using it to test how hard is Arch for me to use, and lo and behold, the problem happened again.

The ironic thing is, at this steam link somebody said that launching rimworld without steam would work, and surprisingly, it did! WHY!? WHY IS STEAM LIKE THIS!?

If anyone has any idea on how this happened or how to solve this problem, you have my upmost gratitude. Thank you for reading this post

update controller
with usb c it doesn't have this feature because it was removed from controller for good, oldest firmware has it removed as well

I've got following specs on my laptop:

AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (6 cores / 12 threads)

AMD Radeon 660M (integratet GPU)

16 GB Ram

I am currently running Arch Linux, and my Minecraft often has stuttering when playing on an external monitor. What causes could this have?

I use lubuntu. Pc specs: intel pentinum 1.6gHz Integrated graphics, 4gb ram I have 50gb left. (HDD)

Hey, I'm trying to run AC Shadows on CachyOS with an RTX 4090, and I'd like to enable HDR. I know, I know, I'm probably asking too much.

Anyway, I installed the Pyroveil "hack", and the game runs just fine, albeit in SDR.

I would like to know how to combine these two launch parameters :

PYROVEIL=1 PYROVEIL_CONFIG=/home/******/pyroveil/hacks/ac-shadows-nvidia-570-stable/pyroveil.json

and

DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f -W 3840 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output -- %command%

Is this even possible ?

Hi!

So I used to own a Logitech g733 but it was a bit of a mess software-wise and the microphone got worse from the feedback i had when using it with windows, i guess this had to be with drivers and all, yet i made sure of getting proper support via https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl tool. I wonder if there is a headset with a similar price range, doesn't need to be a flashy gamer one, i'm a bit ear-injured so having some tweaking capabilities would be amazing and a microphone incorporated as well as wireless so i can stay connected to conversations even though i might not be just in front of my monitor.

I'm not picky in terms of brands, but I believe steelseries could be an option? may be corsair hs80? Then again, I am not that into headset knowledge, so i am mainly looking for more versed and properly verified feedback options.

Thanks!!

I run a small minecraft server on Ubuntu. It runs in a screen that I manually create. I would like to have a service automatically create an instance of minecraft which runs at reboot (in a cronjob) that is in the screen.

I already have a shell script which starts the server. Can I convert this into a service to do these things?

I have 8GB of RAM, with 500MB reserved for the integrated GPU. My mostly play Marvel Rivals, and I have an RTX 3050M. I am looking for the lightest and most optimized system with minimal memory usage. I am also willing to put in extra work during the setup process if needed. thank you

Should I install Bazzite and call it a day?

Surprisingly, 95 % of my visual novel library works out of the box with bottles with no problems.

Been using Arch on my laptop for 2 years straight and all I can say is that I fucking LOVE it. My problem is my gaming PC, there are 2 main issues I have that are holding me back from switching 1. Escape from Tarkov (Anti Cheat) and similar games 2. Adobe Photoshop (let's be real GIMP will never even compare) I don't feel like rebooting everytime I want to play EFT I either fully switch and fully forget windows or I just don't.

Basically I am looking for a program that allows remapping of keys in specific applications

This is a long term problem I'm having without a good solution. After years of researching I was sticking to playnite (rinning it under VM because it doen't seem to work good under wine or any similar solution like bottles). That until I step at a steam family share issue with it... Playnite is not able to import shared games...

this is bad as today I have a damn lot of games (after 15 years buying games and able playing nothing...) and are spread over many stores like steam, gog, epic, EA, ubisoft... and there's PSN and Xbox (and very soon Nintendo store because my God! What's that NS2 rumors!? I want 2 of then! also to not play because time)

What are you using to solve this? I also love the randon pick from playnite as it bypass any time I spend chosing what to play next and often gives me very good surprises like Outer WIlds. What a nice game! ahem! The solution you use have a random picker?

I currently do not have Linux installed but I am considering trying it out for gaming. One thing I'm unsure of is using my Vader 4 Pro controller on Linux. It's recognised by Windows as an Xbox controller but the Vader 4 Pro has additional buttons that can't be set unless I use a program called reWASD. reWASD needs to be running in the background though as the controller can't save the bindings on its board. reWASD isn't supported on Linux so what would my options be? Could I get reWASD to run via a Windows wrapper (or whatever it's called) and the Vader 4 Pro could "see" reWASD running?

How did you get it working? I've tried a few games and some "switch to HDR" with the variable DXVK_HDR=1 variable set. But it's always washed out in those cases.

Hello everyone,

When i load my monitor's MSI icc profile, i am greeted with error mentioned in $Title. Screenshot link : https://imgur.com/a/VQJJ1UH

Same file was working fine with my older GPU i.e RX 6600. My current GPU is RX 9070.

Is it related to the known bug : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4057 ?

Game looks comparatively wash out and i am suspecting it is because RGB range is limited thus i was testing it with icc profile. However, proptest shows, so i am not sure if it's the cause :

OS Info, if that matters :

• Arch on Plasma 6.3.3
• RX 9070
• Ryzen 7600X
• kernel 6.14.0
• Mesa 25.1.0-devel (git-5b11c3ff0a)

Thanks in advance.

Even though I am using fedora kinoite on my laptop for more than a year I am very casual noob user.

And now I decided to install fedora kinoite on my main PC. Everything was nice: i successfully installed OS on my fist drive, I partitioned and mounted my second drive, I added flathub to discovery, I installed nvidia drivers for immutable disto with the help of rpmfusion "howto" guide, then i dowlonoaded steam flatpak, turned proton on in compatibility setting and started downloading games I play.

But when I finished downloading games and launched them, they all had awful performance. I thought maybe the problem is with mounted drive but no matter where i download games they still have bad performance. Also for a test I downloaded the same game on my laptop but performance was perfect there without any proton tweaking even though laptop do not have graphics card. I guess a the proble is not about Nvidia drivers then. I am not sure if the problem is in proton I haven't tried to set up wine and etc.

Have I missed some important step in setting up my system? Any tips?
