Substitute for Nvidia shadowplay for Linux? Is steam recording a good substitute?
best way to get high quality discord streaming equivalent to windows on nvidia?
I have to make sure and check, but from what I know official discord on linux still uses cpu encoding on nvidia, with amd using vaapi now. is there a way to get higher quality streaming equivalent to windows then? i dont know what vesktop does but could it be equivalent? (does the video accel option even do anything for streaming yourself? does it try to enable hardware accel for screensharing? last time i had it on a few days ago it was stuttering when i was watching a friends' stream.)

help on my linux hardware compatibility
I have a gtx 1070 and r5 2600 8gb ram and latest linux kurnel is better for gaming but gtx 1070 end of driver support makes a question about the kernel compatibility with the older non supported driver and is there any advantages of running older kurnel for my use case
wanted to use arch but that is a concern
my games are death stranding, csgo, cs2, resident evil series and witcher3

Which distro to increase performance?
That's my secondary PC, running windows 10 at this moment, and it has some low fps on some games I play, mainly on palworld (20-30fps max at 720p)
I was thinking about putting Fedora on it, because I heard some people had crazy FPS differences on it and that it was easy to use.
Wanted to know if Fedora is in fact a good option for performance (even in windows games) and for user experience (I don't wanna see terminals or anything complicated) or if there's any other better distro for that.
Pc specs: AMD phenom Ii x6 1090T Radeon RX 550 4gb 8gbs DDR3 240gbs HDD

Linus (from Linus Tech Tips) tries installing Linux again in 2026
Mouse feels weird
So i switched from Windows to Linux, and i feel like my mouse dosen't feel the same in game, with the same sens and the same dpi. Even after, turning off mouse accel it just feels off. Does anyone know why and has anyone resolved this or is it a matter of getting used to it. Thanks.

Overwatch 2 processing shaders
Yo, so i did the big switch yesterday from windows to Linux
I’m playing Overwatch 2 on Linux Mint through battlenet using the Faugus launcher, and every time I start the game it processes shaders for a really long time on.
I figured the first time would take a while because it has to compile everything, but the problem is it seems to do it every single time I launch the game, which makes starting the game take forever.
It also feels like the shader cache just isn’t saving, because it recompiles everything again on the next launch.
Has anyone else had this issue on Linux? Is there something I’m missing that makes the shaders actually cache so it doesn’t redo it every time?
Any help would be appreciated.

The future of Minecraft Legacy preservation
We're building something called the Minecraft Legacy Index.
The goal is simple: preserve Minecraft Legacy Edition projects and make them easy to find.
Many projects based on the Legacy Edition 1.8.6 source code leak (2014) are scattered across the internet and can disappear at any time due to DMCA takedowns, abandoned repositories, or deleted downloads.
The Minecraft Legacy Index catalogs and preserves these projects so the community can always find them.
We track things like:
• Source repositories
• Project maintainers
• Development status
• Historical notes
• Mirror locations
To prevent projects from disappearing, we also mirror repositories and assets.
Main Git mirror:
https://git.minecraftlegacy.com/

➜ Main Website
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 | 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐓 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐒
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why we secured these domains:
If these domains were left unregistered, malicious actors could buy them and use them to distribute malware, fake downloads, or backdoored builds.
By controlling these domains, we make sure users always reach legitimate sources and safe mirrors.
The goal is to protect the community and preserve Minecraft Legacy projects for the long term.
If you're working on a Legacy Edition project and want it indexed or preserved, feel free to reach out.

Finally switched over to Linux (Debian 13). Played Doom Eternal today. I have a few questions about CPU & GPU temps on a laptop...
I've wanted to do this for a long time but overall I'm more of a console gamer (except for Minecraft and FPS games). Tested Debian 12 on a crappy laptop last year and finally last week installed Debian 13 on my, much better, gaming laptop.
It's been pretty good overall. Debian itself runs great. Nvidia drivers installed as intended. Steam install went ok. I'm pretty happy.
I have one game I can't get to run right now (Age of Mythology) which is weird because it does run on Debian 12. Hopefully I can figure that one out at some point.
I do have a question about CPU and GPU temps though. Playing Doom Eternal today both the CPU and GPU were in the low 60C. The game ran great but I didn't really mess with the video settings. I do know that it was 1080p, at least. It probably defaulted to medium or something. I don't know for sure.
I don't really want this to run hotter but I'm wondering if I'm losing some potential power somewhere and wondering how I can really control the GPU on Linux. I'm fine with how Doom ran but I did have to turn the resolution down on another game (the Kingdom Hearts games) to get a smooth 60fps (it's only a 60hz display so that's fine).
Any tips or maybe packages I can install to potentially get those games to run a little better? I'm still new to Linux overall and I've never really worried about fps or videos settings much so I don't really know where to look for guides.
