Hello everyone I am confused between these two distributions I have amd GPU and CPU so (doesn't say arch) (:

Edit I mean pika os or nobara os

Voicemeeter, Equalizer APO (to use the rnnoise plugin), soundpad and exitlag

My old 28" 1080p, 60hz monitor just died after many years of faithful service. I used it for YouTube and movies, not gaming. Once you get used to having two monitors, having one again really sux, so I quickly got another.

The cheapest good one I found on eBay happens to be a 28" 4k monitor. It's still on it's way. Linux has had no problem spanning the desktop across two 1080p monitors, but games like TF2 tend to black-screen if I set the gaming monitor to 120hz or 144hz, so the 4k will probably need to run at 1080p to keep the system stable.

My question is, does a 4k monitor set to 1080p have better resolution than a 1080p monitor?

Edit: The new 4k is an ASUS TUF VG289Q1A.

I am currently using bazzite kde and I installed tlou2. Fps in the menus are totally fine but when I start playing the game the vram usage increases and reaches at 4gb. I am getting only 1fps. My cpu and gpu usages becomes very low. I tried to use some different proton versions on steam but nothing changed. One of the proton versions add dlss on settings but it didnt change the situation.

You can discuss the game here, I'll be happy to answer any questions you have :)

Hello!

As mentioned in the title I always get the taskbar permanently showing when I start wow. Screenshot

I run battle.net via Lutris with wine-10.8-staging-tkg-amd64 as my wine version. My OS is openSUSE tumbleweed with KDE Plasma in a 2 monitor setup. I can temporarily fix this by swapping from fullscreen to windowed and back again, but it gets on my nerves now after some time. Maybe someone discovered a fix or a workaround that would help me.

I had these HDDs when I used Windows 10. but today when I re-mounted the drives, And partitioned them, They were mounted to Media. which when I googled, is for removable items (CDs, USBs, etc) I have been using ask Ubuntu to try and find out how to move them to make them An actual location, such as my SSD. I realized that I could write to them because of Steams "Disk Write Error" message. I am using DraugerOS.

How do I undervolt my AMD CPU on Manjaro using amdctl?
I don't want to risk anything that might but my hardware into danger.
I know in windows I was using the power management setting where I would set my CPU to never go above 97%, which always would drop my CPU temps from 85~ ish to 70 at full throttle.

Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 with Linux Mint, 8GB of RAM, and i5-1135G7, and Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and I was wondering, how can I check and change exactly how much VRAM my Iris Xe is using? Unfortunately I cannot upgrade the RAM, so I'm using zram to have 8GB of swap memory

My specific usecase is playing Minecraft with some shaders like BSL at 1080p native resolution with Distant Horizons at 32 DH chunks and 8 vanilla chunks, and I get around 30-35 FPS average, which I can get used to, but without DH, I get around 40-50 FPS at 12 chunks of vanilla render distance. I heard it's supposed to dynamically allocate as much RAM as your system has free, but how do I really know? MangoHud nor 'intel-gpu-tools' can show me. I also dunno if zram actually helps with freeing up the VRAM for my iGPU. Any ideas?

I'm looking to switch over from windows! Absolutely hate windows 11 and looking for alternatives.

I'm currently using 9070xt as my gpu

Any recommendations or guides?

I run a beefy system, and CS2 runs like butt cheeks unlike on Windows for me, however I learned today that you can enable Gamemode (Had to install it on my OS).

So the issue is, it drops to 240 FPS which is not a bad number, but the game feels legitimately like I am playing at 60hz with input delay too, after enabling Game mode the average is now 419 FPS, and zero input lag, and it feels like I am playing on my 180hz display now.

If you've got 100% AMD and change the reimage script, you can install SteamOS on your PC.

Note : IT IS UNSTABLE. IT CAN DISAPEARE FOR NO REASON. (On the hardware i had at least)

I'm an online pirate I pirate everything from songs to movies to. Games

The only reason I've got windblows on my computer is because it runs games Else I'd install linux

I want a system that I can easily run modern games, sometimes surf the Internet, use some light programs (editing, disk management), and I also like to play on console emulators. I also welcome a user-friendly interface. Do you have any advice?

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro (13") running Ubuntu 24.04 on a i5-3210M that I've maxed out with 16gb of RAM. I'm trying to run Forza Horizon 2 (the xbox 360 version) using xenia canary, and I got the files and everything from another post in r/abandonware. I know it works because it successfully launches on my pc using proton experimental on steam (also Ubuntu 24.04) using an i7-9700k and a rtx 3060. Launching with the same proton experimental on my laptop gives me the error message from the image above.

What I'm confused about is how the error message given says that I must "Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your GPU and it supports Direct3D 12 with the feature level of at least 11_0." I am 100% confident that the Intel HD 4000 igpu that the i5-3210M comes with is capable of dx11. Is there a launch option I need to add when launching this in steam to translate these APIs? I'm aware that my laptop's cpu isn't meant to hardly meant to handle anything so intensive, but really any frame rate is fine, so long as I can get this to work.

and after seeing many of other posts in this community, I think I should note that I CANNOT afford a laptop that can actually handle gaming right now. Not even deal-of-the-century cheap 200 dollar rigs. nothing.

Thanks

To make somewhat of a longer story short I have been experiencing difficulty playing World of Warcraft on my machine and have been troubleshooting this issue for going on 3 weeks now. The issue is basically than while in combat & moving around a bunch the game just lags like crazy making the game essentially unplayable.

I've been trying to leverage chatGPT to help sort out the issue and troubleshoot but also not just blindly following any instructions given from chatGPT. From yesterday's troubleshooting chatGPT parsed through some debug logging (using Lutris to play games) and it was identified that apparently my kernel version has "known issues & regressions with AMD GPU's / drivers". This could absolutely just be an AI hallucination but I do see a bit of chatter online about AMD GPU's and kernel compatibility issues on various websites & social media. Apparently, the logging from my gameplay specifically called out an error displaying: "AMDGPU broken kernel detected. Enabling manual memory clearing path."

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 which seems to be using 6.12.10 for the current kernel and I was able to boot with "oldkernel-config" which bumped me back to 6.9.3 or something like that but the problem unfortunately still was happening.

ChatGPT was suggesting 6.6.X to be a good idea / option to try that kernel specifically but I wasn't exactly sure on how to roll back to that specific version so still working on sorting that out.

But my overall question and reason for posting here is I am wondering is any of all what's mentioned here even making sense at all, or is it dumb to think my kernel version is having compatibility issues with my GPU? What I don't want to have happen is for me to think my issue will eventually just go away one day whenever this kernel incompatibility issue is resolved when that's not even the issue in the first place.

Some details about my machine:

• System76 Desktop (Thelio)

• Pop!_OS 22.04

• Current Kernel: 6.12.10-76061203-generic

• GPU: AMD Radeon 7600

I have a 300hz monitor and a 165hz monitor. the 300hz monitor only displays at 165 hz. I'm using Linux mint cinnamon and I have an RX 79000 XT.
