I have a 2013 Mac Pro (the trashcan) with dual D700s. ideally, I’d like to get it set up with Linux and use it for music production and some light gaming. I understand Vulcan support is limited, but I’m mainly concerned with getting crossfire to work without a hitch (dual gpu support). I know this is a niche question, but does anyone know of a distro with native crossfire functionality? I actually heard Bazzite may have added support for example, but I cannot verify it for sure. All help appreciated!

OBS only records 1fps footage when I choose "Display Capture" because There's NO "Game Capture" in OBS on Linux, even when I have Nvidia GPU and latest driver installed.

The game works flawlessly until the moment I start streaming anything via Discord. It just entirely loses audio on every audio device after few seconds of streaming. I've tried using launch options telling the game to use Pipewire but the issue still persists. Anyone knows how to fix it?

I am hoping someone could offer me some guidance. If I launch Elden Ring using Proton 9.0.4, experimental, or the latest GE proton it makes no difference, but I am having an issue with the game freezing. It will freeze on the new character screen as soon as you get to it, it will freeze on the load save screen, and if you hit continue it will freeze around 10% through the loading bar.

I've tried verifying files, wiping the prefix, reinstalling, and disabling steam overlay but I haven't made any progess in the last 2 days of messing with this. Is there an error log I could run a command to view? I am running endeavourOS which is arch based and my launch commands are just "gamemoderun %command%". I want to learn more troubleshooting for games but haven't had issues with most of the games I play so I haven't really needed to so far.

Hey, I'm new to linux gaming. So far (almost) everything worked out of the box perfectly (minus HDR and framegen). I've tried to run an older game (HoMMV). and noticed it plays in 30-20FPS, depending on resolution (I need 720p to run it at 30). Look at resource monitor shows it to be ~50-60% CPU usage, and barely any on GPU, with temps almost always maxed at 100C. Tried Cyberpunk, another CPU heavy game, and it keeps temps around 50-70C, with similiar CPU load. Idling temps are also around 20C. Any tips? I'm fresh on linux gaming, never tinkered with wine. I'm using heroic launcher btw, and no proton version changed anything.

Hey r/linux_gaming!

Having an issue getting Gamescope to stretch the output on my setup:

• GPU: RX 5700 XT
• OS: EndeavourOS
• DE: KDE Plasma (Wayland)
• Monitor: LG 27GS75Q-B (2560x1440, trying to run games at 1920x1440 stretched)

I can successfully launch games through Gamescope with a specific resolution (e.g., gamescope --expose-wayland -w 1600 -h 1200 -r 200 -S stretch -W 2560 -H 1440 -- steam -applaunch 730), and the resolution and refresh rate seem to be set correctly. However, the -S stretch option doesn't seem to do anything; the game just runs in a smaller window with the correct aspect ratio, not filling the screen.

I've tried:

• Using -W and -H with my monitor's native resolution.
• Trying different internal resolutions for stretching.

Any ideas or known issues with this setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have been seaching around to a fix/solution, how to get ghost of tsushima's Legends (online features) to work on Linux. The problem is Playstations software which doesnt seem to work with Linux out the box. This is related to the "Failed to initialize PlayStation PC SDK" issue.

Im running Mint.

I want to play games with a friend, like Stardew valley and siege, I tried to get steam but it’s so slow in running anything. It is a hp elitebook x360 103 g3 that runs on Linux unantu (can’t remove that). My birthday is coming up and I can ask for somthing else but until then, is it just my lack of skill in using computers or is the computer actually just slow?

Zelda 64: Recompiled is a project to play The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on modern platforms with many new features, enhancements and now modding support too. The community project is not endorsed by Nintendo in any way and you need to own the original game to use this.

Hey, I have a 3080 and was looking at trying to get frame generation working for Oblivion remastered. The FSR frame gen in game has pretty bad ghosting and is not very usable, but I seen there's a mod dlssg-to-fsr3 in this thread that allows you to use DLSS frame gen on older GPU's. I couldn't get it working and seen theres this thread from a while back where you can patch wine to get it to work, but theres nothing recent that I can get working. Has anyone had any luck with this?

I'm on a full red build and I was having tons of stutter due to shader caching on Windows while I had none of it on any linux distro while playing Black Ops 1.

BUT, there was a gigantic but, ESYNC and FSYNC are completely broken in BO1 so you need to disable them to play the game decently, still you can't reach full speed with it, performance aren't that great.
Here comes NTSYNC and holy moly it completely fixes it, no shader stutter, no fsync/esync problems and slow performances, it just runs perfectly smooth and my system is chilling while doing it.

That's it, that's the post, a small appreciation post for ntsync that fixed this specific issue I had with linux gaming :D

I own the GOG release and run it in Bottles, but my DualShock 5 isn’t recognised.

• Tried installing xinput inside the bottle.
• Added the game to Steam to use Steam Input—still nothing.

Do I need the Steam version, or is there another fix?

Bottle details: ge‑proton 9‑27 · DXVK 2.6.1 · VKD3D‑Proton 2.13 · dxvk‑nvapi 0.7.1

Trying to set up NVIDIA Optimus/hybrid graphics (Intel + NVIDIA) on Manjaro with kernel 6.12.25, but installation fails due to package conflicts. Specifically, nvidia-dkms conflicts with legacy kernel modules (e.g., linux510-nvidia-open), even after removing old packages. The error persists despite attempts to force-install video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime via mhwdTrying to set up NVIDIA Optimus/hybrid graphics (Intel + NVIDIA) on Manjaro with kernel 6.12.25, but installation fails due to package conflicts. Specifically, nvidia-dkms conflicts with legacy kernel modules (e.g., linux510-nvidia-open), even after removing old packages. The error persists despite attempts to force-install video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime via mhwd.

Steps Taken:

1. Tried installing drivers via mhwd:bash

​

sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime --force

Error:

bash

sudo pacman -R mhwd-nvidia mhwd-nvidia-470xx nvidia-dkms --nodeps

Reinstalled DKMS and utils:

bash

1. Result: Conflict persists.sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils nvidia-prime lib32-nvidia-utils
2. Rebuilt initramfs and rebooted multiple times.
3. Verified kernel version: 6.12.25-1-MANJARO.

Current Status:

• nvidia-smi works but hybrid PRIME offload (prime-run) fails.
• mhwd -l shows video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime as installed.
• Full package list: [pastebin link or inline output].

Questions:

1. How to resolve the nvidia-dkms vs. legacy kernel module conflict?
2. Is there a workaround to force video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime without dependency hell?
3. Should I purge all NVIDIA packages and start fresh? If so, what’s the safest method?

System Info:

• GPU: NVIDIA (Geforce 1650 max-q) + Intel UHD 630 (CoffeeLake-H).
• Display: Using Xorg/Wayland?
• .

Steps Taken:

1. Tried installing drivers via mhwd:bash
