Star Wars jokes aside, I am looking for assistance on this problem I have been facing. Note in the image shared, the brave window is technically maximized, but you can see part of the desktop background behind it. This is a bug of some sort I cannot figure out. When trying to interact with Brave my mouse has to be a distance above my intended target when it is like this, roughly about the vertical distance of the desktop you see in the screenshot.

This happens regardless of how I maximize: drag to the top of screen, double click on tab bar, click the maximize square button. Normally I have to repeatedly maximize then it resolves itself, but could happen anytime again.

I currently run Bazzite 42, but a few weeks back I was distro hopping and it did the same on Nobara. I suspected it may have been a brave issue, but when I rune Gnome instead of KDE Plasma brave works fine. So now I suspect its a KDE Plasma issue, but I am just unsure how to fix or what to do.

Has anyone experienced this and have any ideas?

System Specs:
CPU: AMD 7950x
GPU: Nvidia 4080 Super
(not sure if other specs are important, but can share if needed.

I just recently got HDR working nearly flawlessly with all games that support it. For me, when the system detects HDR content my monitor switches into HDR mode. No mans sky however (proton GE 10-10, amdgpu, arch, mesa) doesn't seem to work at all with HDR. I have the HDR option however it seems the game is still reporting an SDR colorspace leading to a very blown out image at all hdr settings. I tested force enabling hdr as well with no luck. I also cant get gamescope or reshade to install in the game any help appreciated.

Why would a game I'm playing (RuneScape) work perfectly on Ubuntu and fedora (and possibly others) but have unstable, fluctuating Ping on Mint? I want to use Mint as my main OS but the game is unplayable. I even tried the new beta of Mint 22.2 and it still has the same issue.

What I have:

Intel i5-3450 3.1hz (works; from an old Alienware Andromeda that did the past tense)

Planned OS:

Debian - Bookworm (For Neurodebian for work - just want to play a few games at least though.)

Help:

Can I use water/liquid cooling with this?

Anything particulars I may need as I continue to plan my build?

Any recommendations?

Thanks ❤️

Hello everyone, this is my first ever post on Reddit.

I'm really excited to play Doom: The Dark Ages, but I'm having trouble getting it to run on my Linux Mint system. The game launches via Steam, but it completely freezes on the title screen right when I'm prompted to press the space bar.

https://preview.redd.it/50key0gqufjf1.png?width=1156&format=png&auto=webp&s=949ab210c06d0e1d6c785881d10c0cc93f233ca7

When it freezes, the audio cuts out completely. After waiting for a moment, the sound sometimes returns, but if I press the space bar again, it freezes and the audio cuts out once more. Also, if I try to Alt+Tab out of the game, I just get a black screen and have to force quit.

I feel like I've tried everything and would really appreciate some help. My goal is to get the game working and stay on Linux.

Here are my system specs:

• OS: Linux Mint
• CPU: Intel Core i3-12100F
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2070
• NVIDIA Driver: version 575.64.03 (open kernel metapackage).

And here is what I've already tried to do to fix it:

• Proton Versions: I've tested Proton GE 10-12, Proton 9.0-4, and Proton Experimental.
• Launch Arguments: I've tried adding many different Proton launch arguments.
• Other Steps: I've also tried using a VPN, closing all background applications, and changing the game's language to English.
• Drivers: I attempted to update my drivers to the 580 series, but the update failed.

Has anyone else had this issue or have any ideas what I could try next? Since this is my first post, I hope I've provided all the necessary information. Please let me know if anything else is needed.

I have this GPU borrowed from my friend for AI stuff. Probably this GPU was used for mining, and VBIOS is different. Thus in Windows driver just will refuse to be used. It will use "Microshit basic adapter" instead. Linux doesn't do that, thanks Linux. Now I use Linux forcibly. Linux is totally respectful to other OS's, they don't force anything. Even I changed the VBIOS, but it didn't do anything tho. Still won't load. But works like a monster on Linux. Anyway, I am not complaining.

I bought GTA 5 on steam a while ago when I used windows and after I recently switched over I can't play GTA because I don't have direct X. I have added the launcher installer to steam as a non steam game so it could use proton to see if I could make it work that way, but now the issue I am having is that since I bought the game on steam when I log into my rockstar games account through the proton install it tells me that I have to buy the game again even when I make it search for installed games. Is there a way I could make the launcher recognize the game is already installed or could I maybe link the accounts without being able to use the launcher from the GTA 5 install? And I have looked this up already, but found absolutely nothing.

So on Windows, my GPU (4090) is stable with 2580mhz@0.91v. (Stock is 2580mhz@1.01v)

I just don't really understand how to translate this into my file for Linux. I read on the Arch wiki I have to make a python script like this.

#!/usr/bin/env python from pynvml import * nvmlInit() # This sets the GPU to adjust - if this gives you errors or you have multiple GPUs, set to 1 or try other values myGPU = nvmlDeviceGetHandleByIndex(0) # The GPU clock offset value should replace "000" in the line below. nvmlDeviceSetGpcClkVfOffset(myGPU, 000) # The memory clock offset should be **multiplied by 2** to replace the "000" below # For example, an offset of 500 means inserting a value of 1000 in the next line nvmlDeviceSetMemClkVfOffset(myGPU, 000) # The power limit can be set below in mW - 216W becomes 216000, etc. Remove the below line if you don't want to adjust power limits. nvmlDeviceSetPowerManagementLimit(myGPU, 000000)

So for the GPU clock offset, I have no clue what that would even be or how to determine it.

Can't change the 2nd value until I figure out my first one.

And for the power limit, I thought I could just convert my volts but honestly when I try to put it through a converter nothing I get makes sense.

Hello everyone!

I have previously posted to this community 2 times now about the app of GeForce Infinity which I am the original developer of.

I am happy to announce that we have released update 1.2.0!
While this is a smaller update it does bring very important features! New features that the update brings:

• 💻 Up to 1440p resolution support
• 🎞 Up to 120 FPS support
• 720p and 30FPS are also selectable options

120FPS does require gfn ultimate subscribtion and any FPS and resolution change even the lower end ones do require perrformance or higher subscribtion.

We are now almost at 5000 downloads! Thank you for all the support, feedback, questions. As always we are working to make it the best possible, but keep in mind that this is an open source project, maintained voluntarily!

We still have a lot more exciting features and improvements planned still such as: Surround sound, HDR support, Ability to open sidebar during gameplay, Xcloud integration and a lot more! And of course we do plan on adding 4K and 240FPS support.

We have also decided to eventually take GeForce Infinity into an all out cloud gaming app so I am currently working on the ability to use multiple platforms like gfn, Xcloud, Amazon Luna and eventually blacknut and perhaps boosteroid! Our app will also get a rebrand with a new icon and name: Fusio Infinity once this 2.0 version drops (but it will take a while)

Obviously we are not sure if we can truly implement all requests and improvements but we will try our very best, so stay tuned!

Download GeForce Infinity from:

• Our official website
• Get it from the AUR
• Download on Flathub
• Download or build from Github

Running Vulkan because DirectX is so choppy it gives me motion sickness. Running void linux, mesa 25.1.3 on an RX 6600. I've tried the latest 3 proton versions, including proton GE. It particularly shows up on certain spells, karlach, and just the feet of characters when levelling up flashes. sometimes its the entire screen, otherwise if it's a specific aura/spell its a glitchy square enveloping the character/creature.

For some reason whenever one of my games is focused, I've noticed this with PSO2 and Abiotic Factory, I hear an audio hissing. Sounds like if you cranked up an audio line to the point you are hearing the background noise.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

PSO2 is running via GE Proton 9-27 and Abiotic Factory is running via whatever steam is recommending (doesnt show in properties).

Edit: Forgot, this doesnt happen with my Inzone H9 headphones. It only happens on my mobo's sound output. And I believe that I have heard it when i was wearing my headphones where it outputs the hissing on the mobo sound output but the game audio is outputting fine on my headphones.

Edit2: Uh... it happens on high fps....? I set pso2 to be limited to 60 fps in the game and the audio doesnt have the hissing sound anymore.

Don't get the headline wrong. I've been using a dailwr drive rlinux now since 2008 (unbuntu). And I've installed and run Debian on old pcs maybe ten years ago? But for a long time now I've been rubbing Mac hardware (mac pro and Mac book pro circa 2012 hardware) and I have distro hopped for ages (manjaro yeah yeah I know but it's good on the Mac hardware I use).

But I'm conscious that a Mac 5,1 psu is a beast on the bills. And the Xeons are really getting close to the end now.

I've been looking for soemthing either a itx or mini ATX case based thing or something? I have a video card, should I buy my own, buy an old dell and fix it? Do I need Ryzen. Help!

I am using a laptop equipped with rtx 4060. I'm dissatisfied with Windows because OS customization is difficult and the base RAM usage is too high, so I previously tried using Arch Linux. I remember that when gaming on Arch, my dedicated graphics card's performance was terrible compared to Windows, which led me to switch back to Windows.

I want to try again - which Linux distribution works best with NVIDIA?
