First of all, I hate multiplayer. I loved LAN parties back in the day (Quake 3, UT and MoH), but online multiplayer has pretty much sucked for me since WoW came out. PUGs were always a hassle, guildies were frequently indifferent to my needs (even if I helped them with theirs), and I tried MOBAs for about a week before deciding they're boring for me. To say nothing of the cheating which pushed KLAC in the first place. I just don't like it, and I'm really really happy with single player life on Linux.

If you're still reading, then I started this post to say that I feel for the people who want to play the games they want to play and cannot because almost all the multiplayer dev houses appear to be raging assholes who see Linux as nothing but a cheat vector instead of a platform that is gaining momentum due to Valve and the Steam Deck. I can easily see the possibility of game devs in general moving to shut out Linux as a platform if the install base doesn't continue to grow.

So even though I don't personally care that your multiplayer games were cut off from Linux, I still appreciate what that could mean for Linux gaming in general, and I think we should stick it to these houses in as many ways that impact their bottom lines as possible, and get the message through that unless they treat Linux as a viable install platform for their games, they'll continue to feel the pain.

Solidarity, brothers and sisters!

Hi,

I just installed Minecraft shaders (complementary shader with IRIS and Sodium on Fabric(API))

My specs are:

Ryzen 3800X, RTX 2070, 1440p@165Hz 32GB RAM

archlinux 6.11.3-arch1-1 with NVIDIA 560.35.03

At the moment I am running Minecraft 1.21.1.

Render distance is 32 chunks but that does not make that big of a difference when changing.

I am wondering if i missed something while optimizing because I get between 58 and 110FPS which feels a bit low.

Maybe I am wrong and need to upgrade my GPU...

Do you have any recommendations or some benchmark results to compare that with

I tried to install bazzite on an asus laptop(g14 2022) in order to have a portable "console", but with no success.

I installed different isos(bazzite ally [that was recommended for a laptop], bazzite-deck ), but every time i tried to enter in gaming mode i got a black screen and/or system crash. I have an amd gpu.

I would love the idea to have a supercharged deck in my backpack, but i can't any help by chance?

Hello guys, I would like to know which distro do you use for gaming/daily use. I’ve been working on my CKA certification building k8s labs and also like to do some HTB machines but I’m getting tired of virtual box VMs. I want to switch again to Linux as main OS. I casually play valheim, Elden ring, death stranding, trackmania, just really nothing especial.

Hi! Tired of Windows 11 and its ethics, yesterday I landed on Linux, OpenSUSE to be precise.
Now, after installing and setting up CoreCtrl, as a gamer I would need some help to undervolt my rx 7900 XTX.

On Windows, in AMD Adrenaline, I undervolted with the following parameters:

Power limit (%): 15
GPU Tuning: Min Frequenzy (Mhz) = 2400 | Max Frequency (Mhz) = 2500
VRAM Tuning: Max Frequency (Mhz) = 2714

Now, knowing these values I was using on AMD Adrenaline, how can I transpose them to the CoreCtrl application?

I have a non-VESA certified HDR10 monitor that I got for cheap (Samsung UR55 for reference) and even though the HDR mode is underwhelming I can still toggle it on Windows no problem and get some better color, but on the latest GNOME and KDE when I toggle them the colors get completely messed up, not just washed out but tinted wrong. Anyone else experience this? I've been thinking about submitting a bug report but I don't even know where to begin.

Hi, I recently set up a virtual machine so I could get some experience with Linux mint, because I want to switch to Linux when I build my first PC. I downloaded proton and wine then I downloaded the war thunder launcher and I could not figure how to run the installer. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Hey all,

I am wanting to switch full time to Linux (Fedora KDE) since I don't need Windows for college anymore, and the only thing holding me back is Fallout 4 modding. The game is just SO much better with a bunch of fixes applied via Vortex. But, how would one do this on Linux?

Hey folks, I use Bazzite on my desktop PC for main gaming and general use purposes as I find it way more responsive.

But i'm having an issue with color fringing on desktop mode.

I do not have this issue in Game mode.

Anyone know of a way I can correct this?

One trick I know of that doesn't help me in this situation but does on my Steam Deck OLED... is to install the reshadeck decky plugin and use the 'DefringSamsungOLEDeck.fx' shader.

So I tried that out on game mode on my desktop and it gave me the exact fringing I get in desktop. Obviously not useful but information nonetheless

So with this info, is there a way to defringe desktop mode on my PC? Perhaps a global shader or id prefer a more permanent solution.

Thanks!

I've created a bootable Windows drive using Rufus (sadly Rufus is only available for Windows; see the discontinued 'Windows To Go") and I plan re-installing to an internal drive -- I unfortunately need Windows for certain software and some PC games with specific anti-cheat.

Rufus can disable some hardware requirements of Windows 11, is able to create a local account and specifically has an option to "prevent Windows from accessing other drives" -- does this guarantee that I don't have to fix the GRUB after each Windows update (and the initial install)?

As its description, gamescope is a nested compositor under wayland to “catch” the window in XWayland and port them to Wayland. However, running gamescope on my ub22.04(gnome43.9) still got blurry with the apps under fractional scaling. Seems gamescope is still running under XWayland instead of native wayland.

However, neither gamescope and the app in it appears in xlsclients. This could indicate that it’s running under Wayland natively. But the app still seemed blurry.

Is there a solution for this, thanks a lot. I really confused by the fraction scaling under Wayland in GNOME.

Backstory:
I have a laptop that I use for my day to day usage.

However on my gaming desktop I've been running VFIO to always have Linux running in the background to not have a very powerful computer just go to waste by being turned off most of the time. The main game I'm playing however is PUBG and this has just not been playing nice with any of the settings I've found and about a year or more ago I think they more strictly started detecting VMs.

Then I started dual booting again and now I've just let it be windows only as it's too much of a hassle rebooting and not having Linux and certain services available while gaming.

So if it weren't for PUBG I would be running Linux 24/7 on my gaming rig.

Because of that I'm wondering if there are more people in my situation.
So: Do you keep a windows partition on your gaming computer because of anticheat?

Hey guys, I m trying to install open-source native Linux game. It has a bash script for installation. But I won't be glad if it breaks my system. I'm new in bash scripting, so I want to know:

1) What happens.

2) How to uninstall the app.

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh IFS_BACK=$IFS IFS=' ' appname=`basename $0 | sed s,\.sh$,,` dirname=`dirname $0` tmp="${dirname#?}" if [ "${dirname%$tmp}" != "/" ]; then dirname="$PWD/$dirname" fi LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname export LD_LIBRARY_PATH $dirname/$appname "$@" IFS=$IFS_BACK submitted by /u/Ok_Lengthiness_6591

Hello everyone,

So the log: https://pastebin.com/BqhsiJsK

I am on Debian 12. Drive has plenty of space. 64gb of Ram. Nvidia Card from hell, with their drivers installed. AMD 3600X processor. The log from this is using Proton Experimental.

Oh and more importantly this is from steam, loading as a steam game.

I do find this error interesting. 97178.286:0134:0138:err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems

But I am new to all this. I have attempted to use different versions of proton and they crap out as well.

Whenever I try to play gmod on arch the game would be running fine and then all of a sudden freeze. I tried using the x86-64 bit version with the GModCEFCodecFix and the game ran perfectly fine in singleplayer with no issues at all but when I tried to join my friend's game the game would just instantly close when I was about to load in. The steam overlay also doesn't work when using the 64bit version even though I have it enabled. I've tried switching between proton versions and such and nothing really seems to work. Im not sure what causes this and my laptop which runs linux mint runs the native version of gmod with no issues at all.

Could anybody with a vive-like headset be so kind and confirm for me that if you save a chaperone profile in Windows, you can switch to Linux and open the same profile there? ... And it is all turned the right way inside the headset then?

This is the final thing that locks me to windows and I don't want to shuffle my whole file system again, only to try this specific thing and it doesn't work in the end. Reason being, for me and my Vive pro, the sound wasn't working properly (but there seem to be fixes for that) and the room setup craps out because of the compositor. But using OVR adv would be like a 2 click solution...
