I try not to ask for help but I'm stuck I grabbed Doom 2016 on GOG. I use lutris to run my GOG games. I am on Arch/plasma/ all AMD. Kernel is 6.14.2, mesa 25.0.3, vulkan. I typically use system wine (10.5) but tried umu. I've reinstalled Doom 2016. Ive also used the argument "+r_renderAPI 1" but to no avail. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Please and thank you.

my pc is getting outdated and ive been thinking about building an AMD Linux pc. ive read a bit and have some questions about how i should set up the drives. heres how i think it would look:

SSD1 - Nobara

SSD2 - games and programs

HDD - mass storage

SSD3 - DualBoot Windows(because of VR)

Q1: Linux is smaller and lighter than windows, does that mean i could strike SSD2 off the list to save on buying 3 ssd's or is it still recommended to have a separate drive for the OS?

Q2: SSD2 and HDD would be formatted for Linux but could Windows still see them and potentially mess with them or would they be invisible/untouchable?

Q3: i have an external HDD and i dont know what it is formatted as. Would it be impossible to transfer the files if it is in NTFS or something or is it just games/programs that have trouble running from a Windows compatible file system?

My system struggle to run games specialy fortnite or minecraft java both runs around 9-15 fps so I heard linux is better for gaming since it removes unnecessary load of window services. But I'm not sure will linux support games like Fortnite, minecraft bedrock, gta v, metro series and Epic games ! ( Fortnite and bedrock mainly)

So you guys have better idea and may using it since long time. Did you feel better shifting? Is linux better for low pc too for gaming? Hot much fps boost will it provide? And what are the problems your are facing?

I saw a native linux option but apprently it runs poorly on linux.

I need the maximum amount of FPS, should I just run it into wine ?

I am setting launch options for a game called Persona 5 Royal to incorporate potential performance issues fixes I found on ProtonDB. But, when I do set them, the game doesn't launch.

I launch Persona 5 Royal using Proton GE, more specifically GE-Proton9-27. However this issue persists even when I switch to other Proton version, namely Proton Hotfix.

This also persists across different games and not just Persona 5 Royal.

I am running Steam underneath Manjaro Linux with kernel 6.12.21-4-MANJARO.

Thanks in advance!

I just left Windows for bazzite and I'm transferring about 22 GB from one disk to another and it's taking over more than 3 hours. In Windows it would take less than 3 to 5 minutes

I installed the game through the physical Windows CD-ROM on Lutris via both a "Windows XP + 3DFX 32-bit", as well as a "Windows 7 64-bit" preset (reinstalled it multiple times). Also tried like six different wine versions, all leading to the same error. I selected shrek-2/drive_c/Program Files/Activision/Shrek 2/System/game.exe as the executable. But the game doesn't manage to launch via Lutris. The only time it ever launches, is when I finish the installation and the Shrek 2 launcher opens up immediately after. When I click on the "Start" prompt, it launches the game and lets me play it, although only at 768p, for which I'll look into a fix later. It plays perfectly fine, outside of the FMVs playing in black screen (I assume I have to install some DLLs). But like I said, once I close the game it won't launch anymore over Lutris until I go through the installation process again. And yk, I'd like to avoid having to keep reinstalling the game to play it. Also tried to just run the game executable directly through the disc, but that also led to nothing. So what am I doing wrong?

I had a look at PikaOS, a distro that is not so well known and compared it to Pop!_OS and Windows 11 using the RTX 5080.

Hey there.

Recently switched to Opensuse + KDE on my i3 12100f, 16 gb ram and arc a770 build, and have for the most part been pretty happy. The only real problem is performance, which is a big one for me since i play a lot of games. Arma reforger, squad and many other games are running really terribly for me. Helldivers 2 and insurgency sandstorm were the only games i could get to run with the same performance as windows.

Im wondering - Is there anything i can do to improve performance? And is there any future for the alchemist cards on linux? If not, i will sadly have to go back to windows, even tho i hate it.

Multimedia

I dual booted windows and added Bazzite 42 in another partition. Playing Dota2 on windows, I have a stable high fps, but in this OS I am only limited to 60 - 70 fps even after I maxed out the fps limit in dota2 settings and console. Any suggestion on how to fix?

im having an issue in games where i get frequent lagspikes. The game just completely freezes for half a second or so around every 20 seconds, timing seems to be pretty random. The issue has persisted over month or two and multiple updates.

it's happened in team fortress 2 (linux native game) and yakuza games ( newest pirate yakuza and yakuza 0 ). However GTA 5 enhanced didn't have such an issue, played it on bottles with rockstar launcher.

specs:

arch linux

KDE plasma 6.3.4

kernel 6.14.2 zen

wayland

ryzen 9 5900x

4gb ram

rx 7800xt
