I'm thinking on changing my GPU but still deciding on whether to buy an AMD or NVIDIA. I've seen equivalent AMD cards are cheaper than NVIDIA ones but I'm not sure if changing drivers will be a pain in the ass, i don't have integrated graphics in the CPU nor the motherboard so i pretty much risk my computer not giving image and probably having to reinstall my OS (it happened once when i tried to test an older video card and installed it's drivers).

If the drivers have an installer or can be installed by the driver manager provided by Ubuntu then it's one thing less to worry about.

Hello.
I install Battle.net on Lutris and Heroic Game Launcher, with some Proton-GE and Wine-GE
I'm logged in my account, but trow a error "don't loading the game..." in the lashes home and game, but the Shop runs like.
Any suggestion??

I'm playing Assassin’s Creed Mirage on Proton Experimental and it works fine, all is good until I reach the end of the initial cut scene where the game seems to get stuck, mangohud does not change as well.

this is where it gets stuck

I can't find any logs to send since I'm using this as a non-steam game and I don't know where logs are stored any help would be greatly appreciated

System info:

I am using Proton Experimental
I tried using Proton 9.0-4 but the game gets stuck in the splash screen and never actually launches
my current launch opts are:

This might be a stretch but I’m all out of ideas I have asked for help everywhere.

I recently distro hopped from Mint to CachyOS and I am having issues with XPlane 12 more specifically with a linux native plugin for it called AutoOrtho.

The plugin uses symlinks to inject scenery into the sim on the fly and has been working great for me on Mint and Fedora before.

It’s now behaving like it should but nothing is being injected into the sim and the logs have nothing that I can see.

Plugin depends on FUSE for the virtual file system and that is set up correctly.

I suspect this might be a weird permissions issue as I was using the flatpak version of Steam prior and now I am not or that it may have something to do with my file system.

I’m out of ideas.

Any help would be welcome.

PS it’s late here and I might see replies tomorrow.

I have a mini pc with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS which has the integrated GPU AMD Radeon 780M: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-780m.c4020

From 32GB of DDR5 RAM I have allocated 8GB to the GPU.

On the other hand I have MSI GeForce GTX 1650 4GT Low Profile 4GB GDDR5 : https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-GTX-1650-4GT-LP-OC/Specification

I could connect the MSI as external GPU using the oculink port as eGPU.

Do you think I would have better performance using the external GPU?

Hello guys,

I'm experiencing a strange issue where my mouse cursor escapes many of my games. Wether I use fullscree, borderless or windowed. It still happens.

It has come to the point where I have to disable my second monitor every time I want to play a game. And then renable it when I want to be productive. It feels like I'm sacrificing half my hardware.

Is there any fix to this?

I know that I can use gamescope, but I'm on Nvidia and afaik it doesn't play well.

Okay so I started playing last of us 1 after watching the series . Casting was perfect except that little girl. Kind of think that little girl is bit anooy in series

I've tried every possible version of proton, but the game either just doesn't launch or launches with an error. I know it works on steamdeck, but is there any way to run it on desktop?

Good day yall. This will be probably another Linux help post.

I recently changed my pc from windows to linux and I dont know how to install Genshin Impact. I mean I do know a way (through Lutris Wine) but it proved to be laggier than windows. After this I asked around and I found other "better" ways to run it. Here is the list of options I found.

1. HeroicGamesLauncher (tried it, got stuck to a captcha that wasnt being sent but it was mandatory to pass)

2. AnimeLauncher (got to a dead end, dont remember how)

3. Lutris/WIne (seems laggier than windows)

4. Lutris/Steam/Proton (heard it was the best way, but I couldnt make it work, as the instructions were unclear)

So what I would need is 2 things:

A. Personal experience with these pathways to determine which is the least laggy

B. A guide to help me get through the installation process

P.S. I am new in Linux and I am not a PC expert, but I can manage

Anyone currently running a B580 on linux (Arch or Mint) and able to comment on the performance? Thanks!

Somehow after the May update, Marvel rivals only runs in 15-35 fps range for me. Before the update it was running pretty well, giving constant 55-60 fps and performance dips only when a lot of stuff is going on in the match. Now it's even struggling to run the animations in the main menu.

I'm on Fedora 42 KDE Plasma with Wayland. I use Nvidia graphics, but I don't think that's the issue. And yes I also use the launch options that skip the launcher and turns on the shader compiler. I tried different GE-Proton versions (9-20,9-27,10-2) and it's all the same

I want to know if anyone of you found any fix for this issue

Planning on making the switch from windows + WSL2 to Linux and wondering which distro would be best to use AND also any recommendations for guides to properly and safely switch.

The things I’m looking for in a distro: - easy setup for gaming on a Nvidia graphics card - good for someone with novice experience with Linux - is well supported and not too obscure

I would just go with Ubuntu but am not sure how well it works with gaming?

Also, does Epic Games launcher work on any distro?

Does anyone know if there is an application or something similar I can use to set mouse DPI hotkeys for example whenever I press "Right mouse button" it will lower my DPI but when I release it will raise it back up again, or when pressing something like ctrl+shift+a it will change my dpi?

Stuff that may be important:

CachyOS (based on Arch)

KDE Plasma Desktop Environment

Open-Razer and Polychromatic are what I use to change DPI on my mouse

My mouse is a Razer: Deathadder essential

if you are wondering why I need this it is because Dead by Daylight has some weird mouse sensitivity setting which requires me to change my dpi to reach my desired Sensitivity, hotkeys would make it more convenient and Death-slinger doesn't have an ADS sensitivity setting and I hate when my Sens is lowered because I ADS

please let me know if this is flared wrong

I hadn't done anything special, it just won't open after the EAC initialization.

I verified, I swapped EAC runtime to my main drive and same with DBD.I deleted overlay data, I turned off overlay. I don't use reshade.

Nothing.

Sorry, I couldn't really find a satisfactory answer from the FAQ, so I hope it's fine to ask this here.

I recently upgraded my PC from a Ryzen 5 3600 with a Radeon RX 5600 to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 9070 XT. I’ve been using Linux Mint for gaming on my old system without any issues for ages, but with the new hardware, I’ve read that switching to a bleeding-edge distro is required.

What are your thoughts or experiences with Bazzite compared to Nobara? Which do you think would be best for me to use? I prefer a more out of the box, user-friendly experience.

I noticed that Bazzite is directed more toward handheld PCs, so I’m curious how the desktop experience holds up. Appreciate anyone’s input who has used either or both of them, thank you!

Hey all, I wanted to share a fix that took me way too long to figure out. I hope this helps someone. Cheers!

PROBLEM:

On Fedora 42 certain programs would flicker such as the screen capture program (spectacle), and some video games. No solutions found online.

SOLUTION:

The issue turned out to be related to adaptive sync with my monitor. Setting it to never instead of automatic was the fix!
