hello

so I've a 4k 60hz tv for my use

recently i got a free 1080p 75hz monitor and well the smoothness is obvious for me and i wanted to use it as a second monitor for when i want to get back to online gaming and use the 4k monitor for offline games

i wanted to know if x11 kde or gnome supports it? i don't want to use wayland and I've an amd gpu

i never had 2 monitors before, so can i just select my second monitor in the game settings to use it and will it use the 75hz or will it lock to 60??

appreciate for the help and answers

I wanted to Play "For Honor" on Linux Pop_OS!

I have this game on Ubisoft connect, so i installed Lutris via the Cosmic Store to start the Launcher. I installed the game flawlessly but if i want to start it the error message seen on screen appears (i'm not able to move the windows for some reason but the system works fine otherwise).

I didn't find any easy solutions online and i'm very new to Linux. Is there an easy fix?

Thank you guys in advance <3

Hi, everybody, I'm having a weird issue while trying to change screen resolution in Terraria. After every launch game defaults to a 4k resolution even though my laptop has a 1920x1080 screen. After changing to a full hd resolution my cursor cannot go over the invisible box, somehow it sees the change to a full hd but the game itself does not. I'm using Fedora 43 Workstation edition and what's even more interesting, while distrohopping and using kde edition it works perfectly fine and in both cases I use flatpak version of Steam.

I have a thinkpad x1 carbon gen 8, so no dedicated graphics card. And I couldn't find anyone with the same issue online.

What I tried and it did not help:
- setting launch options to -w 1920 -h 1080,

- changing Terraria's config file and setting the resolution that way,

- forcing proton version to experimental and then applying launch options.

I would very much appreciate your help, thanks!

I have Arch on my desktop, here are the specs:

Ryzen 5 5600X
EVGA RTX 3060 12gb
32gb ram

Arch KDE wayland

I am having issues with lower than expected frame rates in games, screen tearing in browsers & menus, and after switching to X11 I am also getting what feels like laggy performance. Nothing feels as snappy as it was on Wayland.

The woman has an AMD Radeon 6600 and I am well aware that AMD works a lot better than Nvidia on Linux. In game I only aim for 1080p 60fps so I don't want or need ray tracing and DLSS and what not, and the most demanding games I play are Cyberpunk, Red Dead 2, and a little bit of MS Flight sim 20th anniversary. Would it be more beneficial for me to see if she fancies swapping or should I keep with what I have got? I know she would benefit from DLSS in a few of the games she plays, and I have asked her already if she would want to and she is fine with it, I just want to make sure this is a good deal for both of us before doing the swap.

Before anyone asks "Why not play the Steam version?": The Steam version isn't great for modding and I don't have the Game on Steam and I can't buy it because they delisted it and I won't pay 60€ or however it is to buy the "DeFiNitIvE eDiTiOn"

I want to run the original CD Rom copy through Lutris but idk how. I already got everything patched and everything how it should be, I just don't know how to add the Game to Lutris. I only see an "Install a Windows game through Wine" option or something similar. But the Game is already unpackaged and installed. I just have to run it.

I am not new to Linux, but I never used Lutris in any way shape or form.

EDIT: I got it working through Heroic, was way easier than dealing with Lutris. Thanks!

Hey people, maybe someone can help me with this ? I have strange texture glitches in MHW.
They don't seem to be related to the Proton commands I use.

When I am directly looking at the sand....no glitches and normals GPU usage. As soon as these glitches appear, the GPU usage rises, massively. Can anybody help me with that ?

So my friends and I play on a realm together on Minecraft Bedrock Edition, but as I switched to Zorin OS, I realized I couldn't play anymore. I tried qemu with GPU passthrough, but that got really complicated quickly. Then I tried VMWare, because I have used it before. In my head, I thought it would be awful, because my previous interactions with VMWare weren't very good with performance, but this time, it ran nearly as smooth as my PC natively.

Gaming focused PC with a 7800X3D Hellhound 7900 XTX and 32gb CL30. Trying to decide which OS to install on it. Any input is welcomed and appreciated.

So I've been having this issue with only minecraft that whenever I use any custom keyboard shotcut, the whole window just gets completely minimized.

For example I have a mute shortcut which executes this command

pactl set-source-mute rnnoise_source 1

When I use the assigned key the window minimizes, this issue is not present in the newer versions (any version that uses LWJGL 3), Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I'm Using Debain Trixie (13.3) with XFCE, X11 desktop environment

Tlou 1 is unplayable in linux, im getting this graphical glitches and game freezes after few minutes.

Specs:

Fedora 43

Hi, I need help. Sometimes I download pirated games, but not all of them run or install on Linux(On windows they seem ok), and I don't know why. I'd like as many tips as possible on what I can do or the step-by-step process you guys follow to ensure they run on Linux.

I usually use Heroic Games Launcher + Proton GE, and I want to know if Lutris or another Proton/Wine setup is better, along with other tools/configurations.

Examples of games I couldn't get running was Bayonetta, God Eater 2 and The Last of Us. I ended up buying Bayonetta and GE2 a while later, and they run perfectly through Steam, but I'm still afraid of needing to pirate some other game later and not being able to get it working. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Set up UT2K4 on Linux today. Game runs great, except when my mouse is captured by the game, every time I left click, the mouse cursor jumps to the top left of the screen. So I can get through menus just find by turning off the "capture mouse" setting and playing in windowed mode - but once I get into a game, I shoot my gun once and I'm looking at the sky!

I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to fix this and I cannot possibly figure out what is causing it. I am unsure if this is an issue with Wine/Proton, an issue with my config, a hardware problem, or what! Never seen anything like it in my life. Hopefully somebody has heard of this!

So I have been gaming on Linux for years now but then I started playing BF6 which forced me to be on windows for awhile but now when I'm back get really bad stutters. I included a video from FFXIV where it was the most noticeable. I have also tried overwatch but they aren't do noticeable. Seems to happen when animations loads in.

I have tried different schedulers and syncs and versions of proton/wine without any change. I have also tried switching to x11 also without change.

Distro: CachyOS (Had the same issue on Fedora)
CPU: i5-13600k
GPU: AMD 6900XT
DE: KDE
Current Scheduler: BPFLAND
Mesa info:
apiVersion = 1.4.328
driverVersion = 25.3.5

driverID = DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV
driverName = radv

Any help figuring out how to fix these stutters will be appreciated.

I've bounced off of a few distros now because of some very specific things and I want specific feedback on it, sorry it's such a repetitive question but my concerns are not answered in the FAQ.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Bazzite:

• Immediately bounced off because I couldn't install mullvad vpn, which is because it was atomic but I didn't know what atomic meant or why installing it wasn't working. It's a dealbreaker for me so I gave up

Cachyos:

• Works fine, I guess
• CachyOS package manager and octopi just both feel clunky and not very professional
• It was missing some packages that it cut because it tries to be minimal and I had to do some troubleshooting
• The wallpapers provided are all sexualized neko anime ladies which just gives neckbeard vibes and isn't very professional
• The servers went down literally while I was installing the operating system and that broke my system until they came back up
• I'm worried about it being a small development team and the quality nosediving like manjaro apparently did

Pop OS:

• No night light mode, immediate dealbreaker.
• It's a shame because I really really like cosmic and would love to daily it but not until it's got night light mode.
• I enjoy having eyes and would like to continue to use them
• I don't know how anyone at system76 agreed to ship cosmic without night light

Fedora:

• Currently writing this from fedora actually, I really like fedora
• But I had to install some codecs from a third party repository to get some features I use working
• Had to go through forum posts to do it because it's a specific issue (steam game recording feature)
• Totally cool with it if that's the last time I have to do that, but worried about this being a repeated situation
• Don't want to wake up to my system broken because I had to use video drivers from a third party repository
• Games take really really long to launch

Haven't tried:

Mint:

• Apparently pretty good
• X11 which means I lose out on some stuff but I don't know what that stuff is
• I do own two different monitors with two slightly different refresh rates
• Don't like the look of cinnamon but if it can be riced I'm game

Nobara:

• Same concerns as cachy os about it being a small development team

Ubuntu:

• cannonical

Oh ALSO:

GNOME appears to have compositor issues on my system across multiple distros. I think it's because I have both an X3D chip and a graphics card.
