I’ve heard AMD doesn’t work very well with a 4K120hz tv. I have an LG QNED85 with HDMI 2.1. I don’t care about HDR. Is there any way I can do VRR at 4K120 consistently?

I occasionally see these lines. I've tried Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, and now OpenSUSE. It's a Wine bug or my video card is an Nvidia Quadro K4000?.

I'm learning to play Ultima Online using bottles. The game runs great, except all the buttons for help, wiki etc fail to launch my web browser. Is there a way to allow this particular bottle to access my other applications? Or should I reinstall using basic wine?

Sup everyone, I remember back in September 2024 Rockstar decided to add an anti cheat to GTAV. This ended up blocking Linux users from being able to play online. I have seen some people on ProtonDB say that they can play online using the Proton Battleye Runtime. I have tried to do this but I get kicked out after 20 seconds of playing. So here is 1 theory for me, it may be because I am using Epic Games. I got GTAV for free through Epic Games almost 5 years ago. Epic Games does allow you to add custom launch options similar to Steam. Although, I do not know if it is actually working or not. This is what I do to get into online.

Launch GTAV through Epic Games, Epic games is running through Lutris BTW.

Launch story mode (wait for story mode to finish loading)

press "p", then go to the online tab to host a invite only session

load into my garage, drive car for about 20 seconds

get kicked

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

My Samsung display keeps turning on and off when I go to desktop mode from gaming mode.

Here's some context:

I built a brand new full AMD pc setup to play using Linux

I install Bazzite OS in gaming mode to simulate my old Steam Deck setup and bought a Samsung Odyssey G5 32" as a new main display (currently have 2 display)

When I boot ok gaming mode the 2 displays are connected but only show image on the G5,wich is my main display

He's connected on HDMI and the other one is connected using display port

The problem is when I change to desktop mode the G5 keeps turning on and off constantly,connecting and disconnecting. It only stops when I disable the monitor on display settings using the second montor, then wait a few seconds and enable it again and it never happens again until I reboot my computer (or goes into gaming mode than back to desktop mode)

Does anybody has any idea what could be causing this issue?

Hey,

I just did fresh install of 25.04, installed steam and PoE2 and saw it's working with the default nvidia drivers ( for 4070 laptop gpu).

Now getting Diablo4 running has been a pain though and I could use some suggestions. Here's what Ive' tried:
1) Installed lutris, Tried installing Diablo4 and battle.net through that, but the installer gets stuck on 45% - right where it's supposed to open authentication window of battle.net. I know that, because one time the authenticaiton window actually happened, right after reaching 45%. But no luck otherwise. It crashes (hangs) with this error:
```

wineserver: ../server/sock.c:1154: complete_async_poll: Assertion `output->count == signaled_count' failed.

wine client error:1e4: write: Bad file descriptor
```
2) then I looked up how people install diablo4 on steam and tried doing the same - using steam and adding the launcher as a non-steam game (using proton 10 beta). That actually worked just fine. It installed battle.net and then I could use battle.net to install diablo4. But then the diablo4 would not run - or more precicely, it ran up until I loaded into the game. Then it crashed. I could go through pre-game UI, pick a character and once I load into the world it crashed.

Any suggestions on what I should try next?

Hi, I want to add a cheap AMD GPU to my rig, I currently have a 3080, how is latency added if I use the AMD GPU to show the frames, but render on the 3080? I have done this with two Nvidia's long ago on windows and felt just a slight bit. I want Nvidia and AMD for GPU passthrough virtualization when not gaming on Linux, also maybe I could use sway this way.

PC SPECS:

dell vostro: Cpu:12th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-1215U (10 MB cache, 6 cores, 8 threads, up to 4.40 GHz Turbo) Gpu:Intel® UHD Graphics Ram:8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz Monitor:FHD 1920x1080, 120Hz, WVA, Non-Touch, Anti-Glare, 250

THE PROBLEM: The game launches without problems but when I eneter a server public or with bots the game crashes.

HOW I INSTALLED IT: I didn't installed it using steam because I don't have money to spend on this game so I installed it 2 times.

1: First time I installed it from a website that is specifically for linux pirated games. The game again launches perfectly works when I join a server but from this site I can install only the newest version of css which nobody plays and I can't even play VAC servers so basicly there are no online servers I can play on but when i play with bots create my own server it works PERFECTLY.

2:The second time i installed v34 css from a website called expendedcs.com and when i played it on windows it worked fine. After i downloaded it I used wine to run it and it launched I then try to join a server it downloaded the files needed for the server and 1 second after i joined my game shutdown.

THINGS I DID TO TRY FIX IT: 1.Installed stuff like net frame ,vs,directx,vulkan

2.Installed litris and tried running it from lutris.

3.I tried running it with gamemode.

THINGS I HOPE FOR: 1. Any fix to this issue.

2.If this issue cannot be fixed maybe there is another pirated site that offers a 34v version of css that can play on VAC servers.

Hardware: I'm using a 5 5600X, 16gb of ram and a gtx 1650.

Software: Lutris, I tried Wine games and native games both have the same issue

Issue: when I launch a game it doesn't affect the GPU usage much but makes my CPU usage and RAM useage spike, normal usage isn't affected though. (the games are unplayable) simple games get 1 fps and war thunder made the PC hard crash

screenshot of CPU pegged at 100% in the menu of an extremely easy to run game

My first thought was driver issue so I upgraded my 550 drivers (they where working fine yesterday) to the 570 drivers, didn't fix my issues.

multiple restarts and hard crashes later I am here and am incredibly confused

OBS only record a frozen or glitchy screen on Display Capture, because there's No "Game Capture" in OBS on Linux! Even while I have an Nvidia GPU with latest driver installed on Zorin OS, but can't record my gameplay, Please help me because this is the ONLY reason I'm still using Windows today, while I was very excited to switch my entire working enviroment to Linux.

Hello everyone!

I recently decided to install Xenoverse through lutris with the script, but after downloading the latest version of the game, when I reopen the laucher it prompts me to download it again. I tried to boot directly from game.exe or game_n.exe but without success.

But strangely, it seems that it manages to start sn_game.exe and sn_game_n.exe (probably some low-resolution version, since it looks quite badly)

I am currently on Linux, Mint with cinnamon/i3(depending on my mood).

I want to mod bethesda games, primarily Skyrim but also the new Oblivion remastered. But the things is, it seems like such a hassle to do it on Linux. Would it be worth it to just dual boot to windows 10 just for that?

Does anyone else here have experience modding bethesda games on Linux? I'm planning on trying Limo either today or tomorrow, and depending on that goes, and the response I might get here, I might look into dual booting.

Nvidia Drivers

Follow Wiki - https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Version_535.183.01-1

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Paste over the first non-# deb http://

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Then run these

sudo apt update -y sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree sudo reboot now

Steam Installation

Follow WIki - https://wiki.debian.org/Steam#Installing_Steam

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt update -y sudo apt install steam-installer sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers libglx-mesa0:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

Multiple Storage Devices + Keeping Steam Games

If you have multiple storage devices (HDDs, SSDs, M.2s, NVMes, etc.) as you play around with reinstalling different Linux distros, you can prevent having to fully reinstall your games. Start by formatting your other storage devices in a single volume, ext4, with a name you want to see it as, i.e. my second NVMe's ext4 name is just data. Get your storage devices UUID:

sudo blkid ex. Your boot drive will almost always be /dev/type0 i.e. mine is /dev/nvme0 so I'm looking for a blkid entry of /dev/nvme1 for my second drive /dev/nvme1n1p1: LABEL="data" UUID="MyUuid-UseInFstab" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTLAB EL="data" PARTUUID="MyPartUuid-DontUseInFstab"

Once done edit fstab to auto-mount it on boot:

sudo nano /etc/fstab #Add the following line all the way at the bottom UID=YourUuidNoQuotesNoSpaces /data ext4 defaults 0 1 #Press Ctrl+X then Y to save sudo reboot now

More Info from Wiki - https://wiki.debian.org/fstab

Once you have Steam installed and logged in, before installing any games, in the top-left click Steam -> Settings -> Storage. Click the drop-down and if your second drive isn't already listed click Add Drive then select it. Then make sure to click the ... ellipsis and click Make Default. Now all your games will install to your second drive and if you ever FUBAR your install or want to try out a different distro you can freely wipe your boot drive and re-add your second drive back to Steam's Storage settings when you set up Steam again and it'll detect your library.

Desktop Environment Options

The Debian 12 Stable Bookworm netinst.iso installation media ships with these DEs, try to do some Google Image searching or YouTube watching of each before choosing one on install. You don't have to choose a DE at all on install, and not trying to be super opinionated but if you're coming from daily driving Windows I'd highly recommend KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, or Mate in that order; Gnome and XFCE are moreso Mac looking if that floats your boat. Either way KDE Plasma was the most Windows-esque workflow, but always feel free to swap them out or reinstall to test things, I didn't fully settle into my build for a couple of days but the reinstall is hassle free.

Proton

Learn it and love it - https://www.protondb.com/

Frankly I first try running everything on Experimental then fall back to 9.0-4, and if issues persist that's when I'll go to Proton DB to figure out whether any launch options/etc. could help. Only game out of my library I have issues playing is an Early Access indie game (Contractville if curious) but they recently had some big updates so I'm not too worried since it used to work.

Distros, Sub-distros, Variants, etc.

Should you use one? I'd really encourage everyone to try plain Debian 12 before going to Ubuntu, Mint, etc. because it keeps things very minimal and your OS is driven by the main Debian contributors who are sticklers for stability, this is to say you're not gonna get unexpectedly messed up from a new update/etc. unlike on Debian 13 (Unstable Trixie) or other distros whose contribution teams push things for modernity sake's at the cost of a high degree of guaranteed stability.

One thing to make very clear is that Debian Stable =/= forced to use old stuff, I see this misconception so very often in Linux discussions and it's really agitating. Remember, Ubunto, Mint, all these Debian-derived distros, are, well, Debian-derived... As long as you update your sources.list to use non-default repos you can install the latest and greatest on plain Debian as well.

I'm not saying these derived OSes are bad and in fact are much more out-the-box ready for daily driving for non-technical people. It's just that it gets you in a bit of a walled garden sticking with their direction on things which is usually a point of wanting to switch from Windows anyways. But as long as you preserve your data/games on a second drive you can distro hop all you want on your root drive until you're settled in.

Non-Steam Windows-Only Software

Despite Steam paving the way with Proton for gaming, there's still going to be pieces of software that are Windows-only. What you can try first is to go into Steam -> Library -> Add A Game -> Add a non-Steam game. Once added you can try using Proton's compatibility layer, but this doesn't always work (as an example World Machine wasn't cooperative).

If Steam fails to launch a native Windows app, I'd recommend trying out Lutris and Bottles as they take care a lot of the headache-inducing Wine stuff on your behalf. I play Escape from Tarkov SPT/FIKA using Lutris with absolutely no problems and for non-game stuff World Machine worked perfect with Lutris too. Bottles is a bit more advanced while Lutris is more hand-hold-y especially if there's a community around your desired game/application in which case oftentimes they just give a setup script/YAML that automates everything for you.

I am using Lutris and manually downloaded wine from https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/releases

If I get it right, "wow64" releases can run both x64 and x86 windows games. So, is it safe to remove i386 packages from my system (debian 12)?

Like these:

I am aware that I'd lose access to native linux i386 graphical libs, that's okay.
