Mainly bugfixes it seems

Guys, in any game I test, this happens at some point: the game simply freezes, and I have to turn off the PC and turn it back on. There have been days when it didn't happen and I could play normally, but just when I thought the problem was gone, it happens again. Note: Vulkan games also have this problem.

I believe that after the 580 driver update, these random freezes started occurring. I was using Cachyos and then also Fedora 43, which is my current system, and I had this problem with both. I didn't make any modifications to these systems besides the recommended ones; on Fedora, I installed the driver from the store. I tested on Windows 11 to try to identify if the problem was with my hardware, but I didn't have any problems there.

What I've already tested:

- Disabling Steam's recording system

- Running games with Vulkan

Is anyone else having problems or knows anything I could try?

Sorry if I didn't explain it well, I'm still a Linux noob hahaha

Hi. Ill try keep this brief.

I used linux like 14 years ago. i distro hopped like mad (i enjoyed it) but I ended back on windows.
I now want to ditch windows but I dont have the life in me to distro hop and faff about.

recommend me an OS based on the following criterion please:
*looks nice.
*runs nvidia RTX 2060 well.
*I only play Counter Strike 2
*maybe run MS office
*vivaldi browser
*I need a file sync software like sync back free/free file sync.
*easy to install apps for a noob like me.

I was thinking:
*Nobara
*Bazzite

or recommend me something different

Thank you for your time and efforts

I have a persona 4 game that I open with steam, it usually works pretty well, except for the videos scenes, but today the game just doesn't works anymore. its the same proton version, someone know what can be?

When launching steam version of gta iv i get this error from rockstar games launcher.

i tried launching it from lutris but it was the exactly the same issue.

i tried using proton experimental and 9.0-4, with proton GE it wouldn't even run.

Running on:

Cachy OS (6.17.7-3)

DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.2 (Wayland)

So, after reading some comments under my last post, it seems like keeping steam os is the better choice, but how can i restore my save data? Some games are pretty old or can be found for pretty cheap on code resellers, so the issue is definitely not getting back my games, I’ll just buy most of them. But how about my save data?

I’m coming from an Xbox, so the only way i could buy digital games is via the Microsoft store. Theoretically, if I: -install a secondary windows partition on the steam machine via external drive, -set up windows there with all my games -back up the save data with Xbox play anywhere -back up the locally downloaded save data on the Linux/steamOS partition -then steamOS should save my save files in the cloud. I will manage to successfully restore my save data.

This is all a Theory (A LINUX THEORY) but it should work… if any of you have a better idea on how to save my files, I would really appreciate it, thanks!

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!

Do you hear him?: < Noooooo!! :( >

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
