Just installed Bazzite and it’s not going so good.

6 Jun 2024 - 10:03pm

FYI, I’m a Linux Newbie and have been trying a lot to get some things sorted but they just aren’t working. Bazzite’s ‘Gaming Mode’ is not working at all. When I click on it, it just takes me back to the normal KDE Desktop. Heard there was an issue with the latest build. But I cannot find the last stable build for Bazzite which is 39 btw. Can anyone guide me to the link or atleast let me know how to rebase to the earlier version properly? The latest update based on Fedora 40 just seems to break gaming mode and I’ve been trying it for the first time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

6 Jun 2024 - 9:29pm

Does anyone know if hdmi out is supported (rtx2070) and bluetooth game controllers work "out of the box" on Bazzite?

Project Reality BF2 on Ubuntu

6 Jun 2024 - 9:05pm

Project Reality is a standalone mod for Battlefield 2. It's the predecessor to Squad and also works with mumble for in-game voice chat.

I'm trying to get Project Reality to run on wine, but its not fairing out very well. I've tried multiple times, however there's a bunch of stuff I may be missing. Project Reality also relies on mumble for voice chat, and I don't think anyone has gotten it to work on Linux yet.

I've checked on YouTube and the PR Forums, but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated, whether it be trying it another way, installing some solution to help, or something else. However, I'm not sure if there's a solution for this one.

Moving windows around in Xorg does not feel smooth

6 Jun 2024 - 8:58pm

I have had this problem for a long time now. Whenever I move windows on Xorg around it does not feel like they are moving on a 144hz display but rather a 60hz display. This does not always happen when moving a window around, sometimes it feels very smooth and other times it does not. On Wayland I don't have this problem. I have two 144hz displays, so maybe this is what's causing the problem. Unfortunately Wayland is not an option for me since I'm using an Nvidia GPU and Wayland does not work very well for me. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

OS: Fedora 40
DE: Gnome 46
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070

Best Value 4k60Hz Linux Gaming Machine

6 Jun 2024 - 8:55pm

I've just purchased a 4k monitor (60hz only) and it creates an induced demand for a 4K capable gaming machine.

Although I am familiar with PC building, I only build Windows machine aiming for 1080p gaming. Most of the time, AMD CPU + NVIDIA GPU. But for this I am going with AMD CPU + GPU.

My concern is mainly cost. I am not going for the BEST machine, just the BEST VALUED. My games are mostly RPG, Simulations, Strategies. Nothing requiring fast response. The action ones are Elden Ring, Monster Hunter and Valheim.

My questions:

  • CPU: Is Ryzen 5 8th gen enough? Or should I go with Ryzen 7 for more processing power?
  • RAM: how about 16GB DDR5 5600?
  • GPU: RX 7700 enough? Or 7800 is the bare minimum?

Any links refering to related articles are welcome too.

HDR: Washed out colors on Nvidia DP, correct colors when connected to AMD iGPU DP

6 Jun 2024 - 8:37pm

I'm struggling a bit with HDR on KDE, and I can't figure out how to get it working. Maybe it's bleeding edge, but maybe you know better.

I'm currently on CachyOS with KDE 6.1 Beta and latest Nvidia 555.52.04-1 driver. I run my Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED on DP on 3080.

When I turn on HDR, colors look washed out. I can already see, because my desktop backgroud, which is just black, is more like dark grey. It's easy to see, because on SDR it is pure black.

Also in Overwatch 2 HDR is enabled but colors to totally washed out (compared to Windows 11 HDR).
I start it with Steam:

gamescope -W 5120 -H 1440 -r 240 --hdr-enabled --fullscreen -- %command%

Now strange thing is that if I connect DP cable to mainboard DP iGPU (7800x3d) and enable HDR I get correct colors and everything looks crysp. I start Overwatch 2 and it looks also right. When I close OW2, I am not able to start it anymore. Also a restart won't help. Just if I connect DP back to 3080 it will start again.

Anybody got similar setup and got it working?

Edit: I can start OW again and it's working, but after restart it won't run anymore. I get this output if I run gamescope -- vkcube

Another NVidia Optimus question

6 Jun 2024 - 8:18pm

Hello

Let me start with I have a pretty old machine, a Lenovo t430 with Nvidia NVS5400 and Intel HD 4000 Optimus combo. I am running Linux Mint 21.3. I have the NVidia proprietary driver, legacy 3.90.x. I am trying to run some pretty old games, such as Skyrim, Fallout New Vagas, Pillars of Eterinity and Torment: Tides of Numenara as examples. The windows games (skyrim and fallout) were installed with PlayOnLinux

So when I start my laptop on Intel mode all these games run. Some slower than others.

When i start my laptop on NVidia mode, the native Linux games (Pillars and Torment) run a lot better. So obviously, they are using the NVidia gpu.

The Wine games (Fallout and Skyrim) detect an Nvidia GPU, but run horribly. I've been reading forum posts for days and can't figure out if there's a fix or not.

So, does having the legacy driver make this impossible?

Am i supposed to be using bumblebee and optirun with these games? Am i supposed to be setting environment variables?

Does bumblebee installation require more than just installing bumblebee-nvidia from the Software Manager.

At this point it feel like i'm trying to get something to work that might not actuall have a solution but I haven't found that answer yes.

Thanks

GRB crashing on Iris Xe Graphics instantly

6 Jun 2024 - 7:54pm

just to cover that instantly, Distro:Arch Linux Mesa:latest from arch repos, 1:24.1.1-1 Graphics driver:Xe-drm Kernel:Linux-zen, 6.9.3-lqx1 Proton:Experimental CPU:i5-1155G7 GPU:Intel Iris Xe (80 blocks)

I was able to install Ubisoft Connect and launch Breakpoint, but after this... Well... When I'm launching the game, it shows splash logo screen and then closes itself, when Steam thinks that game is still running. Is there any existing fix for this problem or is it just unplayable right now?

desktop environment smoother then window manager !!!

6 Jun 2024 - 7:48pm

I apologize for the title, but I have a really weird problem.

Over the past two weeks, I installed Arch Linux because I want to break into the world of tiling window managers. I decided to experiment with Hyprland and Sway. Unfortunately, I've encountered a lot of problems. The main issue is that, for some reason, GUI apps won't work properly. For instance, Steam won't launch, and Firefox is extremely laggy.

It's worth mentioning that these issues don't occur on my GNOME desktop. I want to fix this problem, but I haven't been able to identify the cause.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Gaming on Linux getting better than Windows (Cry of Fear multiplayer experience)

6 Jun 2024 - 7:33pm

I and a friend tried playing Cry of Fear multiplayer. I installed and the game ran without issues, we couldn't get to play with each other though. As unfortunate as this may sound like, I'd like to share that the game under his Windows 10 laptop kept crashing while trying to set up a LAN server in-game, and he even got issues trying to just launch the game once, while my experience under Linux and Proton was install, press play, play the game. And it didn't crash once. Linux gaming is unironically getting better than Windows by the day and I'm tired of pretending it isn't

I can't play any single steam game all of the sudden

6 Jun 2024 - 7:06pm

Hi,

So for some days now i have seen an increasing amount of games not being able to run in different ways on my current computer (running PopOS 22.04), my system is up to date and i have not made any weird thing other than following this steps in order to play Vermintide 2 (which also i was not able to, but AT LEAST the game opened and i could sort of keep on troubleshooting, even if it was without success).

I'm just clueless now, i can't play any single game from the ones i have currently installed:

  • Final Fantasy VII Steam edition (Original)
  • Metal Hellsinger
  • Vermintide 2
  • Warhammer 40k Dawn of war (any)
  • Predecessor

Any idea is welcomed, as from my previous experience with final fantasy 7 i'm quite suspicious of reinstalling anything, as it did not work for that particular game.

As a side-note, yes, my computer is more than capable of running all these games:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X OC LHR 12GB GDDR6 RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 5600MHz 32GB 2x16GB CL36

Thanks in advance.

New to Linux, Bazzite, steam games won’t launch.

6 Jun 2024 - 7:05pm

Steam deck pushed me into Linux for my desktop, I went with bazzite as I saw that name pop up quite a bit and uses KDE plasma which I’ve already gotten kind of use to.

I installed proton, tried a few different versions, the game I was testing with was battlefront 2 (2005) and it never launched. No matter the proton, but I did try 7, 8, 9, and experimental.

I was in the process of installing proton-GE before I had to call it and go to bed, but am I missing something? When I get home I can look for an output log or something, I’ve just been researching while I’m at work but given that I’m new to Linux a lot of this goes over my head.

I’m determined to stick to Linux, as I have a nice workstation laptop on windows 11 and I primarily use the desktop for gaming.

I read through the FAQ’s and didn’t see this question, so I’m sorry if these is repeated post 😅

And if you have any other distro suggestions that’s fine too, but I do like KDE plasma.

Why isn't everyone talking about xDroid?

6 Jun 2024 - 5:48pm

https://www.linzhuotech.com/Product/download

I installed this on fedora and it is truly the best android emulator option on linux with webcam and keymap support for games.

In my opinion, waydroid is better but what holds it back for gaming is the lack of actually working keymaps. I know there is scrcpy but its delay is terrible, XtMapper cannot be used because it has too many stupid errors.

Looking for a multichannel audio interface

6 Jun 2024 - 5:29pm

Hi there,

I'm looking for a audio interface that will allow me to have discord, in-game sound, my desktop and whatever on physical dials or sliders. Big plus will be to mute my mice with the push of a button. You guys have any experience with such interfaces on Linux? Looking to keep it below a 100 euros.
