So for quick context, I'm currently running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 on Hardware listen below:

• Ryzen 5 7600 on Stock cooler (Latest chipset driver)

• Nvidia RTX 3060Ti MSI Ventus 3x (572.83 driver NVCP only)

• MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi (Latest BIOS version 25/3/06)

• 32GB (16x2) Teamgroup T-create DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 (Expo profile 1)

• 1 TB WD SN850x (Boot drive for W11 with latest firmware)

• 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD (Game drive 1)

• 500GB 860 Evo SATA SSD (Game drive 2)

• Acer Nitro XV272U W2 27" QHD IPS 240Hz (primary display)

• BenQ Zowie 24" TN LCD (secondary display)

• Keychron K8 Wireless Mechanical keyboard (I use it wired for latency reasons)

• HyperX Pulsefire Haste

I usually play games using official launchers like: Steam, Epic Games, Rockstar Launcher, EA, GOG, Ubisoft, Riot client, My.Games and some more.

So the games I usually being playing for the past 6-9 months until now are:

1. Cyberpunk 2077
2. Warface
3. Xdefiant
4. RDR2
5. Forza Horizon 5 & 4
6. Metro Exodus
7. Horizon Zero Dawn
8. Witcher 3
9. Resident Evil 4
10. Valorant (I don't play it anymore)
11. Apex Legends
12. Combat Master
13. Need for Speed Heat
14. Need for Speed Unbound
15. Nioh 1 & 2
16. AQW
17. TLOU part 1
18. Far Cry 3
19. Control
20. GTA V (SP/Online)
21. God of War
22. The Division
23. Assassin's Creed Unity/Syndicate/Origins
24. Tomb Raider
25. Doom

Question is, technical Linux knowledge and troubleshooting aside.

1. Experts who have tried-and-tested, switched from Windows 11 OS to Bazzite OS is there any benefit and noticeable advantages in terms of FPS (better frametimes, 1% lows, Average), input lag, latency, compatibility, drivers, mod support?

2. How are the Ethernet/WiFi drivers on Bazzite compared to W11?

3. Will bloatware, spyware, adware, and other forms of data collection will be limited or non-existent when compared to W11?

4. How is the update lifecycle on Bazzite when compared to W11?

5. How is the feature support in Bazzite when compared to W11? Like HDR, 10-bit, DLSS, LSFG

6. How is the resource utilisation outside of games when compared to W11? especially IDLE, Wattage, CPU/GPU/RAM/NVMe utilisation

7. How does 3rd party tools like VLC, Qbitorrent, Revo Uninstaller, LatencyMon, Process lasso, GPU-Z, CPU-Z, WD dashboard, Samsung Magician, Ryzen Master, Firefox look like when compared to W11?

8. Is there anything unique that I will experience in bazzite that I won't in W11?

9. What are the compromises that I have to accept and face when moving to Bazzite?

10. How is the multiplayer experience in terms of connectivity like ping, network latency, packet loss when compared to W11?

11. Lastly, how optimized is gaming and game support on bazzite when compared to W11?

Sorry for the barrage of questions that may or may not have been answered before, but, everyone has different system configurations and situations/use cases for why they switch OSes.

I just want you people to answer/link as much as you want and I will dedicate my time and effort to read it and decide for myself if I want to stay or move. If some of my questions above stupid, please ignore and I apologise in advance for that. Please let me know your thoughts, it is a BIG decision for me.

Seems like any game i try to use fsr3.1 frame gen in , it acts stuttery and laggy. Not acting right. My displays OSD is all over the place. Stalker 2 I'd use it on windows to achieve a high refresh rate and it would be a smooth experience. Not getting that here. Same in oblivion remake. Gamescope or not. I'm using a VRR OLED display with it. Is frame gen through rdna3 still not worked out completely? What am I doing wrong? Running Cachy os with a 7900xt and 7800x3d.

With GE-Proton or GE-Proton-rtsp video players do work but not properly, the video slider doesn't work so if someone else changes it or you join mid-video you can't really do much about it. Anyone know a fix for that or is that kinda just an issue for now? Been wondering for a while.

I am totally new in Minecraft. just started playing in my android today but i want to play on my Arch. specially Bedrock one but couldn't find the correct launcher. i have tried few today but none of them don't support bedrock or i am dumb.

Edit: Crack version

So I am on Arch linux and a tiling window manager, DWM

I did installed all required Nvidia and intel drivers and steam then through running prime-run %command%, I did run the games I wanted, these games are Borderlands the pre sequal and Borderlands 2, I am running them after enabling proton for them in competibility tab to play the windows version.

The issue is they used to run time to time perfectly fine for few minutes and then freezing and giving me errors

and after that they didn't run even at lunch and gave me errors you can see in the attached photo

is this config issue, permission , what is this?

Thanks in advance:)

The errors

I'm just a regular dude trying to understand... Can I hope to one day get an amd driver that supports hdmj 2.1 to get 4k 120hz vrr on my htpc setup?

Hi

I have tried setting up HDR for Diablo 4 (pictures) and Return (no pictures, same result) without success

As soon as I put the HDR on, all the colors get washed out and look horrible

I am using this launch option

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

and proton GE 10.3

I am using Fedora 42 KDE, fully updated

My screen is the BenQ MOBIUZ EX321UX miniLED with HDR 1000

I Have tried to go into the Diablo 4 HDR settings... but the only option is to make it even more bright and washed out.... something else is missing

Help please

Hey Linux Gaming Community!

So i'm currently using a 42" 4k monitor for work as it allows me to have multiple windows open and its super efficient for having multiple things open while I work, but gaming in full screen is just not an option at this size and distance.

I'm currently using Gamescope to launch my games with my desired resolution as well as it being a window. I'm also using the flag --grab so that I can grab my mouse cursor to the window.

Here's the issue, the --grab flag works on initial launch and works fine until you open something or read a book in game that lets go of the crosshair, then when you close the dialogue box or window in game the mouse is not grabbed anymore.

If the game does not allow me to lock the mouse cursor via software then its a nightmare at times to play games like FPS's where I can accidentally click out my window.

I'm desperately looking for some solutions to ensure I can lock my mouse to the chosen window until I release it with a key or something, can anyone suggest some tools or any tricks to help me consistently keep my mouse contained to a window?

My setup is:

I'm using an all AMD NixOS setup with GNOME as my DE, however any advice is helpful and doesn't need to be specific to the specs.

I Installed today EndeavourOS and I cant Play HUNT Showdown

It shows that all the server have no conection

On my SteamDeck it works fine It worked jesterday on Windows.
Do I have to do something because of the Anticheat or Proton?

I am using Nvidea GPU if that matters

Hello everyone, I was wondering something as I am thinking of upgrading my tower (mainly the CPU) and a few questions that I was not sure of the answers came to my mind.

I hope this does not breach any rules and is not a low-effort or vague request, and if it is, sorry.

First thing first, here are my specs, so that you know:

Operating System: Arch Linux

KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0

Qt Version: 6.9.0

Kernel Version: 6.14.6-arch1-1 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: X11

Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz

Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM (2x16 DDR4 3600MHz)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Motherboard: Z370 AORUS Gaming K3

Power Supply Unit: Corsair TX750M

Basically, my questions are as follow:

1. Am I right to think that my current bottleneck is my CPU ? As I feel the performance on some games I play are not what they should be and I notice stuttering when my CPU reach a high usage rate while my GPU seems fine ?

2. What CPU would you recommend with this current setup ? My budget is high enough for most high end CPU I think.

3. Should I upgrade the Motherboard and/or the Power Supply Unit with it? Due to too low power (for the PSU) or an incompatible CPU socket (for the MB) ?

4. Can I just open my computer, take off the MB/CPU/PSU, put the new one(s) and boot like this, or while I need a fresh install of Arch Linux ?

I hope to not bother you too much with my questions and thank you for your time.

Very new guy here, playing on steamdeck. I used to just launch the modrinth app and play but today it started to just show a white screen. I found a solution on GitHub(https://github.com/modrinth/code/issues/3062) but I don’t know how to/where to implement it. Could anyone help me? Mor specifically, where do I implement the environment variable and what is the complete string of what I need to implement?
