old pc from 2004-2007 wont install linux

07. Februar 2026 - 02:23

so i found an old pc that has 2gb stick of ram and intel pentium 4 3.00ghz (cedar version that supports 64bit)

so at first i found windows xp installed but as you all know Microsoft dropped security updates for xp so i tried installing different distros of linux antix, lubuntu, mx, etc and i tried 32 bit versions at first then i noticed that my cpu supports 64bit so i tried 64bit too but none of them worked , antix glitches when i first try to install i tried safe graphics mode, nomodeset, and many other launch commands but still didnt work, in lubuntu it says that kernel failed or smthing like that mid installation

i hope if anyone could help :3 i really wanna fix ts old pc so i can use it as a server for my personal use

edit: i forgot to mention the motherboard its an lga715 with pheonix award bios i tried enabling disabling stuff but none of that worked :p

Getting force feedback working - Logitech G923

07. Februar 2026 - 00:42

Hey there.

I've been trying and failing to get Snowrunner to use my Logitech G923 (Xbox edition with the shifter) properly under windows so I tried on Zorin. Lo and behold, it works. The game recognizes the wheel just fine and even all the gears on my shifter work, which is almost unheard of.

Now, try as I might, I can't seem to get any force feedback. It clearly works, because when I use Oversteer to run force feedback tests, the wheel responds and playing effects directly with FFtest also works. It's currently set to DirectInput in the game and the FF slider is maxed out.

Does anyone have any experience with getting this sort of thing working or do I need to pester the devs again to fix G923 support in general? The last attempt wasn't very successful.

Very poor performance in Doom The Dark Ages

07. Februar 2026 - 00:23

running CachyOS with ryzen 9 7900x3D and rtx 3060Ti (580.126.09 drivers). Tried all of the presets, different proton versions(10.4, latest GE, hotfix, experimental, and the latest Cachy one), and still I get horrible performance, with the game often not being able to start giving the "failed to allocate video memory" error. Everything on handheld, with dlss on ultra performance, somehow squeezes me 24-30FPS. is there any solution to that? found no similar issues on reddit or protonDB. any help is welcome, thanks in advance. P.S. no other game, even far less optimized gives out such results,

Support for RE Village Mercenaries on Fedora

06. Februar 2026 - 22:32

Hi all,

I am running Fedora and have played through all of the main campaign for RE Village and the Rose DLC with no issues. I've been trying to play the Mercenaries mode and it will run but after 10 minutes or so and then the whole game will crash often hanging my system for a few minutes. I had no crashes playing the main game.

I have tried turning all the graphics settings down to the lowest they can go, even tho I played maxed for the main game and it didn't help.

I have been using GE-Proton 10.29 and this launch command

DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% -dx12

I ran RE 7 with the same GE-Proton version and the following command (which didn't work for Village)

LD_PRELOAD=“” gamescope -W 2560 -w 2560 -H 1440 -h 1440 -r 240 --hdr-enabled --adaptive-sync -- %command%

The game seems to run fine without any launch commands and default proton but I couldn't turn HDR on and Ray Tracing looked weird and I wanted both of those to be enabled for the main game.

I care less about mercenaries looking less good and just want to be able to have some fun shooting doods.

My PC specs are:

Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma

9700X CPU

9070 Xt GPU

32 gb of RAM

Game is installed on a gen 4 nvme drive

Thanks for you help

Debian Set up?

06. Februar 2026 - 21:57

Hi guys, i recently reinstalled debian, i have been using it for a couple of months now, its really good, but i have an issue with steam, it takes a lot of time to open, not that much to be honest, but a good minute or so, and the games also take a lot of time to open, for example, marvel rivals takes up to two minutes to launch the logging screen and another 2 to actually open the game, and i need to wait for shaders everytime, once im in the game the performance is good, i also play disco elysium, perdormance is good, but it alse takes like a minute to open.
The point is, are there any steps that im missing for this issue or is that normal?
I have an nvdia 3060, propietary drives 550.163 with open source header i believe.
Debian 13
Ryzen 5 4500
32 ram
Only SSD
Wayland
Gnome
I dont know what extra info do you guys need

I need a new sub, not a r/findmeadistro clone...

06. Februar 2026 - 21:22

The mods may delete this but I need a new gamer sub. Something focused on actual gaming and not yet another group of lost newbies who can't read the room first or even the rules. Even on r/Linux but at least the mods shut that down pretty quick when they're on.

I like gaming on Linux and I'm trying not to be a gate keeper but come on, I'm tired of seeing the same thing over and over. This is why I left Linux4noobs and Linuxquestions.

I wanna hear about some one's experience with their favorite game. Not about Roblox or valorant or any other that other anticheat lased crap.

Is that too much to ask?
