Hey guys, I am getting crashes when playing Schedule I on Fedora KDE Wayland Spin. I have two monitors connected (1440p, 1080p). At first, I thought that the game fully crashes but what crashes is only the display on that monitor. I can hear sound, inputs from keyboard and mouse are working fine. I tried moving the game to the other monitor by pressing super+shift+right or left and it works fine (old display is stuck on the previous monitor) but it is just a matter of time until it crashes on the other monitor and have to reboot.

Things I tried: changing DP cable, playing on a single monitor, Re-seating graphics card, playing on the iGPU, connect HDMI instead of DP.

Hardware is AMD 9800x3d, 9070XT.

I have latest mesa, running on Proton Hotfix.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?

It's more of a Wayland versus X11 thing.

And, even the lightweight X11 based desktops can no longer keep pace, much less dominate, in many testing scenarios.

From the story: "Wayland sessions were delivering the best gaming performance out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 25.04 beta. Often times it was a tight race between these desktop sessions but there were no instances observed where using an X11-based session provided a measurably better experience."

This is not an exhaustive test, I grant, but there is no denying that Wayland has clearly come into its own as a gaming platform. Now, if only Nvidia would get with the program, eh?

Hey everyone. So recently I downloaded Linux Mint Cinnamon and was looking forward to using steam again. However for some reason Steam is very slow and laggy when trying to play literally any game on my library. I have tried numerous things to get it to run correctly, but to no avail. My specs are as follows: - Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 Super - I5 9600k

Here is a list of what I have tried: - Deleting steam cache - Updating driver/ and using the recommended driver -Experimenting with all the other drivers on the driver manager list - Making sure my entire computer is up to date - Reinstalling steam - Enabling performance mode via bash - enabling protonfix on every game I tried -experimenting with other proton versions

What am I missing? Is linux just incompatible with my gpu?

Hello,

I am writing this post regarding an issue I found while trying to launch downgraded version of GTA: SA on steam. I have to first point out, that I did not run into same issue when using not downgraded version and proton 9.0 on steam. After launching ver. 1.0, window related with vulkan shaders doesn't start, but game does. After first two intro slides (Audio Company and Nvidia I think) games go completely black and unresponsive. In non-downgraded version some sort of video intro would start playing, yet here I can't even properly tab out of game (I can use keyboard but not mouse). I don't really know what to do, as I really want to use downgraded version on steam, as it worked out in other games I run on Linux. All future answers are welcome. I use Linux Mint 22.1 x86_64 on this PC.

P.S. I tried working with Bottles and Lutris, but they frequently were crashing with modded version and had lots of problems related to Wine Prefixes and Games not launching properly (problems with usage of Discrete Graphics Card for example - as I use Laptop with both integrated and discrete graphics cards).

Today I got an error when I was trying to install updates that says:
E: Repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu noble InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'Updated Open Graphics Drivers - since 2011!' to 'Updated Open Graphics Drivers'

I tried rolling back to the original Mesa driver but I get the same error.

So what's up with that?

I've been reading a lot about HDR support in KDE and decided to give it a shot since I use Linux for work (mostly coding) and really enjoy it.

I installed Nobara with KDE and tested a few games—some with HDR support and some without—but the colors always looked washed out. It wasn’t even close to the HDR experience on Windows. I tried everything: Gamescope, Proton, MangoHud, and various tweaks, but nothing seemed to improve the visuals.

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations? Is there a better Linux distro for HDR support?

EDIT: IM using 42" LG OLED C3.

I'm on pop_os and I updated all my software, including installing the nvidia 570 driver but when I try to play cyberpunk (which I played just fine several months ago with nvdia 550), I only get a black screen with audio.

I looked in my about screen and I'm concerned seeing 'llvmpipe' listed for the graphics. This used to show details of my graphics card. Is there something making my graphics card not work? (it's a 4090)

I also typed in nivida-smi into the terminal and it says NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Hi fellow linux gamers... My PC currently has an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 DDR ram, 1 TB Nvme and a RX 6600. I was wondering if a rolling distro like Arch vs a LTS distro like Debain 12 would really make a huge difference in FPS while gaming, being that my PC has fairly dated parts already. I really like Debian 12 a lot, however, I'm currently running vanilla Arch (and love it as well) but keep thinking that with every new update...my PC will run better and better. Is it just placebo, or is there some truth to this.

Hey all I know this has came up a million times before. Basically Xbox One controller not being detected by Ubuntu/Steam? I tried using AI to assist me in troubleshooting this and here's what I got.

xboxdrv is installed
Xbox controller does show up in lsusb
Live inputs display in envtest
No controllers detected in steam
Ubuntu drivers updated
linux-general drivers are installed
tried disabling xpad and using xboxdrv as default
Tried updating controller firmware on Xbox Accessories App

cant seem to figure out any pointers or tips? Controller is detected on Lubuntu and Windows fine

Edit:

Appreciate the thumbs down instead of actually trying to help. If I missed something critical or you have something that's helpful Just post it in the comments? Listen, I have been using linux for 5 years, So if this is a "noob question" to someone whos been using it for 15 then just scroll past or try and help.

I've experienced a very strange thing since I upgraded to a 9800X3D. I'm running on Gentoo, latest kernel 13.9 (it happened the same with the stable version 12.X). Also, I use i3 as my wm.

The thing is, everytime I close a Steam game, the CPU keeps throttling around 5 more minutes like if it was doing a heavy task or something. Temps and the sound don't get as intense as playing the actual game tho. After that approximate amount of time, temps go down and the PC sounds quieter.

I've checked all the running processes using htop and I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, and my hardware is brand new (the MB is an Aorus Elite AX V2). The hardware is 100% compatible as I'm using the latest mesa drivers for the RDNA3 series.

Previous to this PC, I ran a Wayland box with Hyprland and I never experienced this issue.

Steps I followed while trying to solve the issue:

• Disabling pre-shader cache on Steam (seemed to work at first but now it's back)

• Updating the kernel (I thought it was the kernel version when I ran stable, but it doesn't have anything to do at all)

I know the work around for the steam version seems to install pyroveil and add the commands to the launch options. Has anyone figured it how to do it on ubisoft connect or lutris?

I have a Razer Nostromo. I've had it for at least 14 years, but it's on its last legs, and I would like to replace it.

I would absolutely prefer to stay away from Razer. I also would really prefer mechanical keys,I love MX Blues. Any suggestions?

I'm still very new to Linux gaming. Well, to any gaming. An I've been wondering how my CPU and GPU work together? When I look at my stats my GPU uses an average b/w 70 to 100 percent while my CPU barely cracks 30 percent. So is my situation normal? I honestly expected much higher CPU usage. This example is based on my game BG3.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU VIDEOCARD - MSI Ventus RTX 4080 3X OC MOTHERBOARD - MSI MPG Carbon X870E Wifi RAM - G.Skill - Trident Z5 Neo RGB, DDR5-6000, 64GB (2x32GB) DRIVES - Samsung 990 Pro 1tb & 2tb NVME POWER SUPPLY - Corsair RM1000e CASE - Antec Flux Pro (Black) Cooler - Arctic Freezer III 420
