Basically, I’ve had enough dealing with windows, and I’m refusing to “upgrade” to 11. I’m planning to switch my home desktop PC over to Linux, but I’m not sure which distribution to go for. I mostly use my PC for gaming. I’ve used Linux for work stuff, mostly headless, so I haven’t really used a “full”/“desktop-y” distribution. Any advice/suggestions appreciated.

Artifacting while trying to play The Force Unleashed, same problem with Black Mesa. The video is showing me starting the game with Proton version 10.0.1 beta other versions tested, same or worth result.

I played The Force Unleashed on my Asus G14 with Arch Linux before with no problem. My desktop is this one : https://minisforumpc.eu/products/minisforum-129i7-790s7?variant=51646260117870 also running Arch.

Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me with this.

I get this error on my Steam Deck whenever i play WoW for a while. Not doing anything specific, heavy areas and non heavy areas. Seems to happen after ~10min in. Crashes the whole game.

I'm running it through Battle.net in Steam as non steam game running (currently Proton 10 BETA).

I've tried multiple different protons, including 8 (which crashes the whole battle.net launcher and I can't use it.), proton experimental, 9 etc.

Chaning it seems to have no difference. Uninstalled and reinstalled, scanned for repair and same issue persists.

Anyone got any ides? Greatly appreciated!

I previously posted on this topic here, but didn't know enough to really figure it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1kf3qsq/is_there_a_bug_with_linux_kernel_614x_for_refresh/

Alright, so I spent a lot of time trying different permutations to figure this one out. I was running kernel 6.15.2 and I've finally discovered what the problem is. tl;dr:

• Samsung Odyssey G95SC contains a single DP 1.4 port and hdmi 2.1 port.
• Samsung advertises "This srsly can do 240hz at 5120x1440" but fail to mention this is only possible with DSC. Had it been a DP 2.1 port, I wouldn't be having these issues. HDMI 2.1 doesn't work on Linux because muh closed source
• This was actually working on Kernel 6.13.8. I'm currently running this for testing purposes
• Sometime after 6.13.8, I could switch to 240hz at 5120x1440, but the screen would flicker randomly.
• I've tried many many different DP 2.1 cables before I realized this was only a DP 1.4 port and it didn't really matter (plus I confirm it works on 6.13.8 as I've been up an hour now with no flickers.)

So I'm positive there's an issue with DSC negotiation after kernel 6.13.8. Problem is I can't for the life of me find any evidence in the logs of DSC being used at all (it has to be, this resolution would be impossible otherwise) or any errors/crashes with DSC in later kernel versions.

Never submitted a bug report before. Not sure if there's any other data I need to include. I don't think this is specific to AMD vs Nvidia, but don't want to swap my graphics card out for Nvidia and install all the drivers all over again. I'm pretty sure this bug affects all of about ten other people in the world as most people probably have more brains than money and stay away from Samsung.

I suspect this is an issue with either shaders or drivers. I've installed the game from the official launcher and symlinked it into AAGL's directory to save space, however when I had it installed through both launchers, the issue still occurred on AAGL as well as the official launcher. Launching it through either launcher causes the issue. If I stay in a 'radioactive' area for long enough, the graphics will correct themselves, but then will be messed up elsewhere.

Not truly related to Linux gaming, but there was no subreddit to post upon.

Linux is a good operating system; it literally runs the top 500 supercomputers of the planet. But it doesn't have quite a hold over the desktop market share yet.

As a student, I have seen on a lot of sysadmin forums that they use Linux daily on their workplace, but they always fail while installing one of the distros in their home computers. That's NOT incompetence (which many state to the newbies), that's something a bit deeper.

Maybe it's about the errors Linux causes (I have myself experienced some PCIe-level problems with the network card). Maybe it's about the fact that people in the forums simply ask to do makeshift changes (for example, when there's a delay on "Scanning BTRFS filesystems", people ask to remove that whole thing altogether... as if it isn't even worth fixing). It all might be because it's exhausting to report the bugs pertaining to the Linux apps, the reasons being:

1. No sliver of convolution on framing the issues
2. Maintainers not responding to these issues
3. (this is not quite confirmed) maintainers putting band-aid on those issues rather than dealing with the entire issue in itself.

As a result, I simply went on to rely on the LLMs. How? Whenever I get an ABRT report on my Fedora, I copy the directory and pass it through an LLM-generated bash script, which:

1. parses all the files' data for me, including the states of all the environment variables.
2. does sed transformations to (possibly) redact all the sensitive data. (I had particularly asked it to identify all the sensitive data... only after that did I tell the LLM to redact that very specific stuff)

A GROSS violation of security, but what in the effing world can I do? I'm a simple computer programmer, and I still don't know how a segfault occurs IN PYTHON of all languages...

It is as if privacy is a trade-off for accountability.

Like, I do understand that many use their free time to tinker and create stuff for the community, but seriously, if there is no proper way of reporting other than to rely upon the LLMs to frame my issue simply, then I think we're doomed. Absolutely doomed.

Lastly, it's an ORDEAL to sign up for different websites simply for bug reporting. Can't there be a unified system for ${SUPERUSER}'s sake?! Like, Bugzilla, Fedora forums, Mint forums, Zorin forums - will I have to sign up for each OS I distrohop towards? Can't there be Single Sign-ons (SSOs)?

Sober crashes every time I try to open a game when entering from Roblox And I've already tried entering through the browser, but it doesn't open Sober. We've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Sober, deactivating Wayland, and also deactivating Wayland permissions for Roblox, also tried installing Chromium asking our self if that was the problem but nothing have worked.

Any help works Please help i'm going crazy.

Just bought AC Odyssey on steam. i installed GE-Proton10-4. after running the game, it launches ubisoft connect. i didn't have a ubisoft account before this, so i made one. whenever i log in, it asks for a cd key. cd keys apparently dont exist on steam anymore, because they are not where everyone says they are (manage-->cd keys) so wtf? can i just not play the game i bought now?

ive tried killing both programs, wiping the ubisoft connect config and program data, etc. nothing works.

i (arch) want to play overcooked via steam remote play together with some friends (windows). if they are in my stream the visuals work for like half a second and then freeze. the audio lags the whole time but doesn't stop. i use an amd gpu.

i often heard that hardware acceleration causes problems with overall streaming. according to vivaldi:gpu (should be the same as chrome://gpu) i have:
Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
Video Encode: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled

Apologies, I meant Survivor, not Fallen Order - my bad!

Hi,

As per subject looks like FSR (builtin within the game Survivor) doesn't work with RADV drivers.

I have a 7800XT paired with 5950x and although I can see the option in the games menu it doesn't work: independently of the FSR option I pick, the FPS stays the same.

My Tv native res is 2160p (4k) and the game runs at approx 35~40 FPS all EPIC (no RT tho). Changing FSR options doesn't alter FPS - but if I set the resolution to 1440p then it's a stable 60 FPS.

This is on Manjaro with mesa 25, GE Proton 10-4.

When I play the same game on Nvidia I can set the DLSS option and it does have an effect. Of course this is with proprietary drivers, on Ubuntu 24.04 with GE-Proton 9-25. Spoiler alert, FSR does work with my 4090 as well!

Is this a known issue about this game?

Thought about using gamescope and force it, but looks like the default Manjaro session is X, not Wayland.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!
