The last 15 days i was thinking about migrationg to windows and i dont know witch destro i should use i want something plug and play and preferably not redownloading my hole game library (my internet sucks) i think i should dual boot it to try it before fully migrating with my new rig im getting soon

I'm aware of the performance hit you take when using NVIDIA GPUs and also that -generally- 1440p perfomance is worse than 1080p on Linux vs. Windows, but has anyone else noticed that your FPS drops massively when you game on an external monitor as opposed to your laptop's display?

FYI, I know powering two displays slightly affects performance and if you turn the laptop's screen off you get a little boost, however, even then performance on an external monitor on Linux is worse than laptop screen only (minus 10-20% maybe).

I know NVIDIA is far from perfect, I'm not really complaining, this is more of "has anyone else noticed this?" kinda post.

Hardware specs: 2021 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 w/ RTX 3070 (FreeSync panel) + Gigabyte M27Q external monitor (also FreeSync) [monitor connected straight to GPU via DisplayPort > USB-C] running Nobara 42

So i have been trying to get Rockstar Games Launcher to work on my Linux Mint for some time using Lutris how a website instructed me, it didnt work. I just found out you can do this very easy. Here is how:

1. Download the latest installer for the Rockstar Games Launcher from their website.
2. Open up steam and add it as a non-steam game, go to properties/compatibility and choose a wine version, i tested with proton10.9
3. Launch it and go through the installer. Dont Launch the Launcher at end.
4. Now open up your file manager and go to home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compactdata/, here find which folder is for your non steam game(it shoult be the last modified.
5. Open it up and go to pfx/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Rockstar Games/Launcher
6. Copy the currect directory and go back to steam. Select the non steam game you used for the installer and go to properties, change Start In to the dir you copied, and change target to the dir you copied + /Launcher.exe(Dont remove the " at the start and end)
7. You are done, just launch it again and log in and download your games!

I would love to be able to use proton just like wine. I would like to have a "run using proton" option when I run a .exe file. I would like to have a ~/.proton directory with all my apps in there. Is there any way to do so?

For native games like Tooth and Tail, newer distros like Kubuntu 25 and Manjaro 25 seem to have a problem with supporting. Older distros like Linux Mint 22 seem to support it just fine. There seems to be dependency issue causing unplanned obsolescence with such natives. Is there a software that brings backwards compatibility? If not there should be. Proton can work, but that seems too ironic. Dependance on Windows should be limited.

Hi! I tried to emulate the game using way droid (as it is a mobile game) but it is not compatible and says that the app won’t work on that device. Is there anything I can do? Or any other emulator that works? I would be nice to have controller mapping too

Not new to Linux, but new to daily driving it, if that makes sense. I've run into this problem on EVERY distro I've tried: I live in an area with shit internet, and as a result, have a few game drives so I'm not constantly having to uninstall and redownload. my games. I have Disks set up to automount everything on boot. I have verified my drives are mounted at boot. Yet, each and every time I reboot my PC, I have to redirect Steam and Heroic to where the games are installed.

Just posting here to as a last resort to see if anybody has any suggestions?

On windows is working perfectly for cracked game using Hydra launcher but when i press play it keep showing like this

I got early access to the Battlefield Open Beta, and was able to pre-install it this morning. It's obvious what happens when I try to run it, but thought I would share it anyway, Apologies for the youtube video link.

"So there are 344,000 members on the this subreddit. If only 10% of you would go and write a negative review on Steam (when you can) stating "not compatible with Linux, do not recommend" it would get noticed I'm sure. But would EA do anything about it? Probably not. Would it make a difference? Maybe. But again, probably not.

So why am I pissed off then? Well, I just don't get the feeling that we really care enough to make the difference."

Ok so, i am new to linux and ive been finding it hard to get games running, it was only when i was checking the logs to arma reforger when i saw this;

(NOT OK) Adapter 'NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470' does not support feature level 12_0

I'm not completely sure, but i think proton or steam thinks im using a gtx 470 despite having an rtx 3050, and despite having the drivers and it being detected on my pc normally, any help is appreciated.

Hallo guys, Im using bazzite now for about 2 weeks and loving it so far i am using it on my zotac zone handheld and only using Windows because of GeForce now. Is there a way to install a nativ app that Supports 4K 120hz on bazzite? I found the electron app but that only Supports 1080p 60hz

Thanks

I used to play overwatch on windows and never had any problems, I had high fps with good video settings.

I now started playing marvel rivals on linux and I have a max of 35 fps with every video setting set to the lowest, the game also crashes every 15-20 minutes and sometimes even less it's unpredictable.

I have a gtx 1050ti with 32gb of ram. My question is, is marvel rivals the problem or is it linux or a mixture of both?

Can't run it under vulkan

Hey folks,

I’m ready to ditch Windows and make the switch to Linux, but I’m not sure which distro to start with. I’m looking for something that’s:

• Easy to install
• Modern and sleek in appearance
• Suitable for gaming

I know there are plenty of threads and resources out there, but I’d really appreciate some curated recommendations to help streamline my starting point.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
