So I have a Windows11 Gaming machine with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with an RX 7800XT, and have had enough of constant Windows nonsense. I also own a Steam Deck and have very much enjoyed tinkering with the OS on that.

So I'd like to make the jump to installing Bazzite on my my main machine, but I have a few questions before I do.

- I am aware AMD Adrenaline isn't available on Linux, so how are things like Anti-Lag and FSR handled?

- I am used to playing most games at 1440p on Max/Ultra, are there any restraints in Linux for getting max performance out of the CPU/GPU? What system settings are recommended, if any?

- How is undervolting handled? All BIOS or are there some recommended apps?

- Same question but for Fan Curves?

- What is the difference between the Desktop ISO and the Home Theatre PC ISO?

- I generally play Steam games but have the odd Ubisoft game, I understand that's all handled through Lutris?

- How does HDR fair?

- What am I missing? Is it all too good to be true? Whats great about it and what could be better?

The total says it all, I’m trying to get steam rom manager to install on my bazzite pc but it says there’s an error every time of try and click install

I’m trying to run doom dark ages on my bazzite machine in game mode with a 9070 xt with the latest version of bazzite but I get this as well as low fps, what is causing this?.

I don't know if these details will help, but here are some specs:

• 2x 40 Gbps USB-C ports

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U

• Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon 780M

• Distro: Fedora 41, KDE Plasma 6.4.2, Wayland

I already have a RTX 2080 from my old desktop, so I just need the case/shell, but the one that I want (Razer Core X) is a couple hundred bucks. So I'm just wondering if it'd be worth it for me to invest in an eGPU before making the purchase.

Thanks in advance.

So, I am on Ubuntu 25.04 and I am using Wayland. Wayland is cutting my refresh rate by half. That does not happen on X11. I have a 75Hz monitor and when I play with vsync, I get 37~38 fps. I also can feel that when I am not playing.

I have a Ryzen 7 5700X3D with an Arc B580. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Downloaded and tried it myself. Works great EAC loaded properly and the game works. I know Lost Ark has had a few moments where you could play but not like this. I can’t find anything official but this is looking good, hopefully they just decided to “check the box” and not make a big fuss about it

I am running kali linux.(i have been for about a year now).

i have an nvidea gigabyte geforce rtx 3060 windforce oc 12g graphics card .

an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz 2 16gb ddr4 2133 MHz ram sticks.

a Gigabyte GA-Z270-Gaming K3 motherboard

a G7 POWER EXTREME 780W

and a KINGSTON SV300S37A120G internal harddrive.

i get on avaerage 20 fps but it tend to drop to single digits when the game has to load alot in at once. does anyone know how to fix this? also i have been told to up date my drivers how do i do that?

Hey trying to setup Steam/Proton on a and get the pictured error message when launching games. Currently have Proton 9 selected.

So, I tried Waydroid and Genymotion, both without any success.

Waydroid gives me this when I do sudo waydroid session start: (031473) [10:22:46] ERROR: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message (031473) [10:22:46] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid> (031473) [10:22:46] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/waydroid/tools/__init__.py", line 70, in main actions.session_manager.start(args) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/session_manager.py", line 33, in start name = dbus.service.BusName("id.waydro.Session", dbus.SessionBus(), do_not_queue=True) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 209, in __new__ return Bus.__new__(cls, Bus.TYPE_SESSION, private=private, ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ mainloop=mainloop) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 99, in __new__ bus = BusConnection.__new__(subclass, bus_type, mainloop=mainloop) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 120, in __new__ bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

Genymotion had an error I dont remember anymore.

I want to emulate some games.

Are there any more emulators or should I try to fix those issues? I have a Ryzen 7 5700X3D with an Arc B580

Is there any performance loss when using an AMD RDNA4 GPU on Linux compared to Windows 11? For example, are we talking about a 5–10% drop, or is the performance roughly the same?

Hi - I am looking for some help. I am experiencing wildly fluctuating frames in FF16. With no FSR enabled at 1440p, FPS jumps between 80-100FPS. With FSR 3.1 Quality, it'll bounce between 100-144 FPS. The problem is manifesting as random stutter causing freesync flicker. The framerate caps in game don't seem to do anything either so I can't hard-lock it at 60 fps. Note that I am running the game off a spare SATA SSD (I am currently testing bazzite and didnt nuke my windows install on NVME drive). I have tried Proton 9.0-4, Proton experimental and 10.0-1 beta and none really have fixed the issue. The FF XVI Fix mod somewhat helped by disabling the graphics debugging. Not sure what else to do though, my system is plenty capable to run this game. I am nearing the point where I'll just play this on windows for now.

My System:

5700X3D

9070 XT

32 GBs

500 GB SATA SSD

im going to be completely honest

if wayland is the future why is it in the big 2025 that i can still escape the bounds of my game window just by pressing mouse 1

70 percent game compat isnt really good enough (not linux's fault but it effects linux users)

its really frustrating that i have to tinker to alot of games to get them to work well on linux. proton is amazing but it still feels like its not 100 percent there yet unless you are on a steam deck

tl;dr: Are there any good sliding block puzzle style games any of you know of, similar to this, for Linux? What about hidden object puzzle games?

Longer / backstory:

My partner is migrating from Win10 to Linux, after being pissed off at Microsoft and seeing how well my Linux experience has gone. This isn't their first time using Linux, but it has been a decade+.

Most of their games are easy enough to run under Linux; either native Linux ports or well-supported by Proton. In fact, putside needing to learn Krita (I miss paint.net so much on Linux... and Pinta isn't good enough), everything so far seems to be smooth sailing - everything save one type of game.

The casual game.

The casual games they play from the Windows App Store (or pretty much every mobile app store as well). At the moment the plan is to set up Waydroid and have them play that way (since these type of games are plentiful on mobile OSes), but I was kinda surprised to not see some type of clone for Linux.

I'm assuming I'm just failing at my search (these games have super generic names that make it impossible to search), thus my question to you all:

Are there any good clones of sliding block puzzle games? Something like this one on the GooPlay store. There are dozens upon dozens of clones of this exact game, all with some type of predatory ad-based monetization - which is why I'm surprised I haven't found a free Linux clone of one.

What about hidden object puzzle games? This one I'm going to assume they'd rather play the ones they know via Waydroid because of the social connections they have there, but it would still be nice to know in case they want to switch things up.

Thanks in advance!

On Steam Wıshlıst

Is there any way to resolve this problem?

I installed lutris using .deb (i use xubuntu lts) then I connected my account to epic games and when I press the button Play it says Stop and after a few seconds it says Play again (won't launch). Im new to lutris. I don't know if it even downloaded the game. Help

Hi, I am running AC Content Manager, and the images and text have bad aliasing (don't know if it shows in the image below with all the compression). I am using GE-Proton 9-20. Any idea how this can be fixed?

which os would be good for my config? bazzite or cachyos?

Yo guys, I recently moved to mint Linux(after trying out Manjaro kde). And I’m also new into playing cs2. I had no problem downloading the Linux version from steam and all that. The game works, but whenever I start a match the ram usage jumps from like 10.3% to average of 85%-90%. As a result the game either crashes or I get the “you were disconnected” error. Just for reference, I have an average graphics card, intel i5 processor and 16gigs of memory.
