Heya, new to the OS and trying stuff out.

I have Endeavour installed currently along side Win 11.

Is there a way to get both OS's to share the same directory to avoid double updates etc.

Thanks for your input! :D

I initially wanted to go for a 9070 XT, but went for a 5070 Ti instead since it's actually cheaper where I live. For anyone using Linux with these cards, how's your experience? What distro are you using? Should I go for something bleeding edge like Arch, or something immutable like Bazzite? Any feedback would be appreciated.

With combat that feels more like a faster and slashier Diablo / Path of Exile, the latest game from Hyperstrange is Hordes of Hunger and so far it's a lot of fun.

Even though it was Steam Deck Verified back in February, that was Valve testing against an opt-in Beta (which is a bit weird) but now the big release is here for the anti-gravity racer BallisticNG.

This is quite a unique experience. Merging the progression system made popular by Vampire Survivors, with the aerial combat of Call of Duty's AC-130 missions. Metal Thunder definitely has a fun idea to it.

Hello,

I have some consideration to make. I have quite tight budget for GPU upgrade (upgrading from 1070ti). In my price range (around 1000PLN, ~260USD) I've found 2 interesting options on used market:

6600XT Sapphire Nitro+ (so top variant) 6700XT MSI Mech (considered one of the worst models)

Which one will be better? Not only in performance (this is obvious), but also in daily work (temps, noise, longevity).

I have MFF ~25L case, so working temps are crucial. I don't worry about VRAM, I'm playing 1080@60 & it's enough for me. I also don't mind using FSR - see no difference :D.

Thank You in advance!

(currently I'm getting on Endeavour OS + cachy OS Kernel, want to switch to AMD for better compatibility & some more performance)

With Forza motorsport not working for ages now, and now halo infinite breaking I decided to do some investigation. As it turns out Halo Infinite had it's linux anti-cheat calls entirely disabled. I entirely suspect we'll see an anti-cheat update about blocking cheaters. Do not be tricked by this if this happens. Halo infinite has had a 1 month peak of 5000 players. I highly doubt the cheaters even want to play this game. Goodbye Microsoft. I wish I hadn't foolishly believed Xbox wasn't going to block linux players.

Hi guys.

I just ordered a RX9070XT to swap out my old Nvidia GPU.

Now i have read that i do not need to install any drivers for AMD on linux. Is that actualy true? Do i just remove the current drivers for Nvidia, plug in de AMD card an i am good to go?

It just sounds to easy .

Thanks already for your answers!

Hey, I've been having an issue with Forza horizon 4 where when I open the game it shows running and eventually just stops without even launching.

I have tried:

-Rebooting

-Updating GPU drivers (amd radeon)

-Reinstalling Forza

-Changing desktop environments (I have multiple installed)

-Changing proton version

-Forcing game to run different proton version. (PROTON GE, Experimental and Hotfix)

-Updating game
It worked before a while ago and now it just doesn't. Forza is the only game it suddenly stopped working for.

Thanks, and please help. 😅

OK so for some context, I recently switched to Linux. I "chose" arch because it's a DIY approach but DIY also means complicated (sometimes). Like most gamers, I used to run windows only and unlike most gamers, I have 4 drives in my computer (C drive for windows, a Games drive and a Misc drive) for my Linux, I bought a new drive but that doesn't matter. All the drive mentioned above are formatted NTFS so I have to use ntfs-3g or any other alternative to access them on Linux.

The problem I am facing now, is that apart from one game in my library (Undertale), I can't play anything that is downloaded on that drive. I tried explicitly telling steam to use proton for the games but none of them start up. I asked chatgpt for advice and apparently my drive is missing permissions (exec if I'm not mistaken).

So I am wondering: do I have to format my games drive in ext4 that way I don't have that problem or can I change the permissions relatively easily?

If some of you are willing to give commands, my games drive is mounted at /mnt/games.

Basically the title, I'm not sure wtf is happening, but deadlock frequently, but randomly will cause my 2hole system to crash. The screens go black and the sound repeats until I do a hard shutdown. I've tried a few fixes online but none have worked yet. This happens in arch, endeavoros, and auroraos. Any ideas?

I've started playing Oblivion Remasted, and I noticed I get a lot worse frames using Linux vs Windows.

There's a lot of reasons this could be but trying to take out asusctl related issues out of the equation.

On Windows I use GHelper (instead of armoury grate) and it has three profiles

- Silent
- Balanced
- Turbo

When playing intensive games I always turn on turbo.

- Balanced
- Performance
- Quiet

I am using Performance in Oblivion.

Do these both point into power profiles built into the system or are they profiles managed by the respective applications that map to similar goals?

For instance I noticed the asusctl Performance profile defaults to a max GPU temp of 75. I've definitely seen my GPU temp when using Turbo on windows go above that. I believe these GPUs (mine is specifically a 3070ti) are designed to run hotter.

When reading ther Asus marketting material it says their profiles do a bunch of stuff in the background to optimize performance, is Asusctl profiles doing the name?

Can I ask which Linux Mint version should I use or distro to suggest to use if I have these hardware: i7 8750h GTX and 1060 Max-Q. Yes, I am using a laptop Dell G7 15 7588 if you want to know the model. Also I heard that nvidia stuff is not supported that well on the way for linux so can I also ask which nvidia driver to use for my gpu or oldware?

Usecase is just for casual gaming(but want stable 60fps lols) and light work apps like your usual LibreOffice.

I am a noob so please guide. Thanks!
