I was doing some tests with Mesa 24.2 and decided to do a quick comparison between Windows and Linux performance on raster, raytracing and pathtracing.

PC specs:

5800x3d

XFX 6900xt

32GB DDR4 Kingston Fury 3600 CL16

ASUS ROG Strix B550-F

On Linux:

Arch

Kernel 6.10.0-RC4

Mesa 24.2.0_devel.191095.a7ad53d550b.d41d8cd-1

On Windows:

Windows 10 latest version as of 24/06/2024

GPU driver 24.5.1

Resuts:

Setting Linux - Avg Win - Avg Linux - Min Win - Min Linux - Max Win - Max Raster 131.90 FPS 128.83 FPS 110.96 FPS 110.20 FPS 158.04 FPS 150.80 FPS Raytracing 23.77 FPS 29.19 FPS 19.33 FPS 24.54 FPS 32.12 FPS 38.53 FPS Pathtracing 11.89 FPS 11.60 FPS 10.02 FPS 10.00 FPS 15.15 FPS 14.49 FPS

Those are results from a single run each, I wasn't planing on posting this so it's not super cientific, but I've run the benchmark multiple times and the results are consistent, with almost no variations between runs.

Raytracing performance is still lagging behind significantly on Linux with about 23% faster raytracing performance on Windows, pathtracing really surprised me because last time I did this test I got about the same difference in performance compared to windows and this time was basically the same with a slight advantage to Linux.

Game settings were configured the exactly the same between Linux and Windows with the exception been the AMD SMT setting, on windows it gives slight better performance when it's on, but on Linux i get better performance with it off.

Hey!

Seen a lot of similar posts here and firstly thought that they don't make a lot of sense on Linux Gaming subreddit as we all play on linux already. But then it hit me that there are a lot of people still on Windows lurking here and thinking about the move, but not yet convinced. So this is a short port to help these people in similar situation to decide.

I was thinking to make that move for at least a couple of years. All my attempts ended pretty quickly when I have encountered some first issues that I wasn't ready or willing to solve. But recently I have installed Bazzite distro and basically everything worked out of the box! Well almost, tobii eye tracker 5 is going to be sold and replaced by Delan Clip soon.

All joysticks, throttle, rudder pedals work great! Headphones and mic - no issues.

Star Citizen, Falcon4, MSFS, DCS (some tinkering here thought) - works perfectly.

I also play normal games as well, not mostly Elden Ring new DLC - no issues what so ever.

I have AMD GPU - so I heard it makes my life easier on linux though.

Now I plan to extend my rig with racing wheels, pedals and shifter - and some quick google shows that it should work seamlessly with the major brands.

The major pain was actually linux youtubers who were completely confusing me on what distro to choose - pure Debian - S Tier; next one - Debian garbage tier, use Arch; another Arch is a dumpster fire, use Fedore etc. I've landed on Bazzite (based on fedora kinoite) - seems very stable and has everything I need out of the box.

So yeah, if you are like me - have no fear, linux is a very good place to be for simmers! :)

My rig just in case :)

I'm talking about this thing. https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

1: Is it safe?

2: Will it get me banned on games?

3: Does it support Secure Boot?

Alright, now OneDrive BS is happening I’m more than ready to go to Nobara.

Any way to get game pass on Linux though? I’m about to be a father so the spend on new games will be sporadic and usually not as readily available as it was. Having game pass means when I do get gaming time with the friends and family overseas, we will have the same library and no issues.

I can't seem to get mangohud to run correctly on 7D2D.

I have tried many different launch options to get it to run on the full game, but no matter what I do it only runs on the small 1sec pop up that loads before the games enters full screen.

Some of the options I have tried:

magohud %command% - gamerunmode mangohud %command% - MANGOHUD=1 %command% - mangohud --dylsm %commmand%

So my question is has anyone got it to run on the game itself?

This is on ver1.0 and I am on Nobara.

Every day on my feed I see more and more people trying out desktop Linux and actually enjoying it, especially after getting their hands on a Steam Deck but also compounded by Microsoft announcing Recall, and it just puts a huge smile on my face. I remember even just 2-3 years back that desktop Linux wasn't quite where it is now in terms of features, polish, and general hardware/software support. It's been more accessible than it's ever been and people are now realizing that. There has and always will be growing pains, but things have been moving so rapidly in favor of desktop Linux that it wouldn't be hard to see it taking on an even larger portion of desktop market share in the next 5-10 years. Year of the Linux Desktop anyone? I jest. In all seriousness, welcome newbies and I hope you enjoy your stay! 😁

I was having trouble for half a month trying to figure out how to setup and install Reshade for Linux until somebody gave me a fix. There is a lack of straightforward information out there on reddit and discord about how to install it, so I thought I would make a post about it.

We are all not on the same Linux distros, so the way I installed wine and its other packages, and the way you installed them was not the same process for me most likely. For this very reason you will be expected to already have installed Wine, Winetricks, and Protontricks.

Important:

(openSuse btw)

Steps:

1. Download Reshade from their official website https://reshade.me/

2. Open your terminal and type winecnf

3. Open the drives tab in the top right part of the little window and select the show .files, then hit ok (if you don't know hitting ok will apply the change and close the program)

4. Clear your terminal window by using the clear command, and then type without hitting enter protontricks-launch(with a space after the word launch)

5. Open your file explorer (🐬 in my case) and open your downloads folder(or wherever you put directed the download to), and then copy or drag the reshade file out into the terminal window

6. Select your game and navigate through the protontricks file explorer for your exe launcher, and then start the install.

I hope this works, I'm going to try it out tomorrow, good luck have fun

Hello everyone, I'm new to linux gaming, I'm used to programming with it and wanted to definitely quit windows. I installed opensuse tumbleweed, nvidia drivers and Lutris. Installed battlenet through lutris, no prob and downloaded my games. The issue is, Diablo 4 and Wow crashes on startup, no matter what, but Hearthstone works fine. I tried to look on google but couldn't identify the issue...

Any idea or help would be appreciated ! Thanks

A while ago, after seeing a few memes and posts about games having "Quit to Windows", I was quite annoyed and tried to search if someone had made mods for ANY games to fix them.

Then I installed LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and was reminded of that string. Due to my previous experiences, I knew that old LEGO games were technologically simple enough, i.e, they just had some .dat files that had all info for the games.

So, I began to look through them. Immediately, I was stuck, as one of my prime suspects that contained the string was GAME.DAT which was ~600 MBs. Even vim couldn't handle it. so I just did bash xxd GAME.DAT | rg -i windows -C 3 I found one string which seemed to be relevant, but instead of quit to windows, it was "Exit to Windows", and somehow, as I later found out, it was from LEGO Star Wars (somehow).

Fast Forward to today, and I found wxHexEditor which I had to compile to fix a bug, and it worked wonderfully. None of the strings worked from any of the .dat files.

Finally, I looked through the main .exe, LEGOIndy.exe. And lo and behold, it had the string. I changed the string from "Windows" to "Linux". Note the "" because wxhexeditor didn't support saving directly with insertions and deletions.

Here are Screenshots:

I have option to buy imported steam deck oled 512gb but there is no warranty. Rog Ally I am hearing is more powerful, I get 12 months warranty and I can have steam os like experience with bazzite, also ally is slightly cheaper.
Note- I know linux, been using ubuntu for 11 years.

In Counter Strike 2, if you try to reduce your resolution, your mouse aim in-game gets all messed up, making the game unplayable at anything other than native.

First things first, we need to switch CS2 over to wayland instead of x11, so head to the CS:GO folder, navigate to game, then open up cs2.sh in a text editor and head to line 88 and change SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 to SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland

Next, instead of reducing your resolution in-game, do it through the steam launch options. (see here for help) !!Keep in mind you need CS2 set to "Fullscreen" for this to work!!
use -w 0 -h 0 as a template (replace 0 with actual resolution width and height)

some pre-made launch options below, just copy and paste em into the launch options (just the command)

1080p
-w 1920 -h 1080
900p
-w 1600 -h 900
720p
-w 1280 -h 720
600p
-w 800 -h 600
480p
-w 640 -h 480

enjoy cs2 at a good framerate! turning fidelityfx to a higher quality can help your visibility at a low res :>

On Windows its pretty straight forward with Adrenaline. On Linux I've found that OBS can work, but the file it creates for some reason refuses to be edited in editing software and crashes Handbrake on trying to convert so I'm curious what settings I should use on OBS with the Instant Replay to fix this or if there's another program that is used on Linux that might be better.

As I said in the title whenever I click inside the window of certain games (currently I’ve found that this only happens with two Starbound, and Team Fortress 2) the game minimizes and act like I clicked on whatever is behind them this happens regardless of whether or not I use proton

Issue described in title. I've installed The Sims 3, the game runs fine but I want to install some optimisation mods. To install mods on The Sims 3, you need to find the Documents file, which should contain a file called "Electronic Arts", with Sims 3 inside and ready to go. This is not the case on my Bottles installation of the game.

When I click browse files inside my EA bottle, and navigate to:

drive_c/users/<username>

The "Documents" file is merely a symlink to my Home directory.

My guess is that it has something to do with the Bottles sandbox, and that a fix would involve something like Flatseal, but I cannot figure out how to configure my file. All the other Reddit posts are people who couldn't navigate to the Documents file in the drive_c, which I have already demonstrated that I am able to do.

It's strange though, because using the Legacy Wine Tool "Explorer", I can find the folder I'm after. Unfortunately I cannot manually navigate to the directory for it, but there is a shortcut on the left hand side which works perfectly well. I also cannot seem to make new directories or paste existing directories there.

Any ideas?
