I'm running a dualboot setup where my main OS is Universal Blue Aurora (basically Fedora 40 Kinoite) where I'm gaming using an arch-based distrobox container referencing a steam library hosted on a separate 4 TB SSD.

I'm also distrohopping through a bunch of secondary distros trying to find one where my Valve Index and SteamVR will actually work. The current one I have installed is Bazzite. Regardless of which other distro I've got in play though, as soon as I connect my steam library to it it will immediately redownload something for every game in the library, with some of the components being more than a gigabyte in size. If I then reboot into my main distro it does it all over again.

Basically every reboot between distros I'm downloading something like 20-30 gigs of patches. Is there any way I can moderate this behavior?

Hi I’ve never used Linux but I want to make the switch but I’m not really sure where to start looking for a distro I run an r5 7700x and rtx 3060

I mainly use my pc for gaming but I also use it for watching F1 and coding. It must be able to run Surfshark vpn, the sims 4 and civ vi (modded) and F1 manager, Stardew valley, city skylines II and various other games ideally as wider compatibility as possible. I would also like to have the option of connecting a racing wheel eventually although controller support isn’t necessary.

I was looking at drauger and Ubuntu however I’m not really sure where to begin so would love some suggestions.

Hello,

We, as a few close friends, have been working on this game for over a year. Our goal is to make a beautiful, fluid metroidvania game. We are trying to make the game deeper by adding rogue like, souls lite and hack & slash features to our game. Additionally, as in every roguelike game, character customization is also available in our game. In fact, we want to make this character customization as diverse as possible. Our goal is for players to be able to create a build that serves the gameplay they want.

We encountered many serious problems during the development period. In addition to all this, as a development team, we have not worked in any other job during this entire time. Some of us even resigned from our jobs and decided to take part in this project. The result of all of this is not to be a studio with a bloody mouthful and only a money target, but to create something that people enjoy playing and sharing their experiences with each other.

Our development process continues at full speed despite financial difficulties and sacrifices. But now our motivation has started to decrease. That's why we thought that maybe we could gain motivation by sharing the game we are developing with you. Our game does not have a steam page yet. (We hope we will open it in June if we have enough money) However, if you want to support us, you can join our discord server. Our community is extremely valuable to us and we attach importance to their thoughts and ideas during the development phase.

Our Discord server > https://discord.gg/UHffeaKmh8Here's what we've done so far during the development period:

I have been trying to get Gta V to run on my Kubuntu PC. When I start the game from Steam in proton 9.0 I get the error that says that I need to use the rockstar launcher, but there isn't any for linux. And the weird part is that Gta V runs perfectly on my Steam deck. Anyone that knows anything that could help? (Sorry for bad English)

I initially thought of asking this question in wine_gaming, but it seems like it's deserted there, and I already have a "no hope" kind of question. So, here's the gist - there's a game called Guild Wars 2. It works perfectly, except for one thing - several in-game windows operate like web pages, and the fonts are also pulled from the game's website. But for some reason, this doesn't work at all, and all we can see in those windows is our beloved and awful Times New Roman.

Over the past day, I've tried:

• Installing fonts in the system
• Installing fonts in the GW2 prefix
• Installing fonts in the Proton directory itself
• Installing gecko additionally in prefixes and through winetricks
• Adding fonts to the registries of all prefixes
• Replacing Times New Roman fonts with game fonts in the prefix registries
• Checking Internet Explorer from those prefixes, and interestingly enough, it displays fonts correctly on the forum, but I can't check the game's API pages (the windows themselves) because it's a hardcoded feature of the game.

The question is - how do I get this beast to correctly load data for the web interface-based UI? Here's the CSS used for these windows. Maybe someone has faced a similar issue (not necessarily in this game, maybe in others). I'd appreciate any help.

I was looking to buy this laptop for a long time (since few years back, before Steam Deck got announced). Since then they seemed to have made few changes.

The SSD are set in Raid 0 configuration (not mirror, but as a single 2 TB drive). It might be called Fake RAID. Linux has some known issues with this laptop series (including 7 pro). The biggest being speakers do not work for every new laptop, until people add the driver to Linux kernel. That's why I wanted to keep it as a dual boot, until the speaker issue got resolved.

I can install Linux, but as a single boot. I can break the Raid configuration and change it to AHCI, however installing Windows using Windows 11 ISO does not seem to work. It does not recognize the drives. I had read, you need to have additional driver file during installation. I tried to keep the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver in the setup usb, but that did not seem to work. May be it needs to be installed first in existing windows and files copied over (I have not tried that).

Only other way to restore Windows seems Lenovo's recovery media. It takes around 2-3 hours to setup, but resets everything back (including Raid 0).

I also tried to setup Linux directly on the Raid setup. However, after installation (Manjaro), it booted (first boot) up to certain stage, but failed to recognize the proper partition.

Wanted to see, if others have come across similar issues and successfully setup dual boot with Linux.

Hi, i have a 7900gre and a r5 7500f i would like to overclock, i downloaded corectrl, but only minimal settings are there. I have found no guides for how to get all of the settings there in opensuse. Can anyone explain, or does someone have a good guide?

Turbo Snail is a small vertical scrolling endless game. The player plays a small snail that has to try not to collide with the top or bottom of the screen on horizontally scrolling levels.

In doing so, it has to collect strawberries, which give it points for the score. Drops of water accelerate the speed of the pinto for a short period of time. Bombs that are collected can be used against the nasty bats.

fresh arch installation, i used to play it before without any problems, any idea how to fix it?

Can I install KDE 6 onto PopOS? If not, what distribution should I use that works with my NVIDIA GPU as well as PopOS?

Ive asked this before without getting any answers but how do I get Mangohud to work on flatpak Minecraft launcher? On steam I can add the argument MANGOHUD=1 %command% for CSGO and it will work but Im not sure what do with Minecraft flatpak?

As stated in the title my PC doesn't go in suspension anymore, I don't know what happened since yesterday was working like a charm.. I just installed libssl-dev, but I don't think that is what caused the issue

For context: I have a custom built pc and normally when I put it in suspension the video signal would go away and the pc would turn off everything (fans, RGB lighting on the GPU on the motherboard, ecc) and would appear as if it was turned off..

Now instead only the video signal goes away and pc stays "on" (the fan would stay on as well as the RGB light and the other things) Also it doesn't wake up, pressing a key on the keyboard or clicking a mouse button doesn't do anything and the screen stays black

I even tried using the command line with the command systemctl suspend but yielded the same result

I had an idea, can I ssh into the PC from a laptop and use htop to check if there was a process or something else that is keeping the system from suspending properly?

I am on Kubuntu 23.10

Is there a known path to run it? Will setting up wine be enough? Also how would modding work
