So, I had a bit of a nasty surprise when I tried to jump on BF6 on my Windows drive as it won't let me play since secure boot is disabled.

Since I last played, I installed a new SSD into my machine and installed Mint on it which I now primarily use over windows but still go to Windows to play some multiplayer games.

Do I need to keep secure boot disabled now I have a Linux distro installed on the other drive, or can I safely re-enable it so I can play BF6?

Or would I need to constantly re-enable it when I plan to play, but disable it again after the session before booting back into Mint?

Os and specs at the end of the post!

>Got the game because I've heard pretty good stuff about it
>Get into the game and after main screen everything is black with only audio playing
>No prob will look up a fix. Delete main menu video that somehow makes the whole menu black.
>The video was pretty cool but I dont mind not having no prob
>Go into the campaign, black screen with audio on the first cutscene
>Skip the cutscene, I can see now (real time cutscene), that sucks but ok.
>FOV is so close that its making me nauseous, mouse look feels incredibly weird
>No prob I can simply go into the settings and change the FOV and the mouse sensitivity
>Change the mouse sensitivity and turn off "fast mouse" (mouse acceleration), this makes it better but its still pretty bad
>No FOV setting
>No prob I can simply find a fix for these things
>Download fusion fix
>Manual DLL override on bottles
>the patch isn't working, the DLL override isn't working
>Same outcome on steam using launch commands for the DLL override and proton (Tried it with proton 8 > 9 and Proton-GE)
>the DLL file (dinput8.dll) is 32-bit, maybe thats the problem?
>Get 64 version
>Same outcome
>Winecfg? Same outcome
>Finally manage to make the dll override work
>Game draws a black window and closes automatically

At this point I'm mostly ready to give up and play the game as is, pausing to look up the cutscenes on youtube, which sucks because I've tried raid mode and it was pretty fun. Please help?

Hey everyone,

My system, to start:

OS: CachyOS x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.18.6-2-cachyos CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 275HX (24) @ 6.50 GHz GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Max-Q / Mobile [Discrete] GPU 2: Intel Graphics @ 1.90 GHz [Integrated] Memory: 32 GB WM: niri 25.11 (Wayland)

My issue is with the Silent Hill 2 remake. I've launched and played/tested 50+ games at this point, only having the occasional issue that was quickly fixed with a launch option or changing the proton version I was using.

Launching SH2 works as expected, I go through the logos without issues, and when the shaders begin compilation, the fps drops to ~5, I can access the main menu and navigate through it, but it remains at that FPS.

My guess is that it is using my iGPU, as there are a lot of greyed out options in the display and graphics sub-menu. The resolution option simply says 'no options data' and is greyed out. Also, in the supersampling option, DLSS isn't available, so that does seem like the issue here. I've tried:

- MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT (I had had that issue with Dying Light, and this had fixed it, allowing it to use the dGPU)

- DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME

- __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

None did anything.

I've also tried every proton version available including GE. I verified the game files. I've played with various launch options, including stuff I found on protondb, -dx11, gamemoderun, tried launching it through Lutris with the option to force the use of the dGPU, and with gamemode and the desired resolution set. Didn't work either.

Not sure where to go from there, except disabling the dGPU in the BIOS, and seeing if that does anything. I'd like to avoid going into the BIOS just to get one game to work though, and I'm still not even sure that's the issue even though it seems that way.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hey all! I have been wanting to move away from the windows platform, though I do enjoy streaming games off sunshine and moonlight. On windows, games almost looks native on my moonlight clients. When I run sunshine on Fedora, games look a lot choppier on my moonlight clients. I was thinking of potentially dual booting, but my preference would be to boot into Fedora instead and run a VM if that use case makes sense for this. Has anyone had experience with running a sunshine server on a VM hosted on a Linux based machine? Would it be difficult process to get a vm running using my GPU on Fedora?

Hey all, this will be a silly post as I cannot figure out how to do it.

My specs:
CPU: R7 5700X3D
GPU: RX 6700XT 12GB
32GB RAM
OS: Fedora 43 KDE plasma edition.

What I want:
tomorrow I'll be getting a new TV (I use 2 TV's as monitors) which is 4k 144hz. Since I have 2 1080p 50-60hz TV's, I've never really needed the FSR function, because my RX 6700XT could play every single game (including minecraft with shaders) on 1080p 60fps. I have tested that my configuration can handle ~160fps on 1080p, but that TV is going to be 4k. I want to play on 1440p or 4k with 120fps (HDMI 2.1 limitation) using FSR upscalling.

Problem:
So there is minecraft launcher called "SKlauncher" and I tried to add it to lutris, since lutris supports gamescope. Now I do not know fully what gamescope can do, but I know it enabled HDR and FSR1 support to games. The lutris saw my gamescope, but could not open SKlauncher.

What I did:
open lutris;
add game;
add locally installed game (the launcher);
name - SKlauncher;
runner - wine (Did open something and crashed)
runner (2nd option) - Linux
executable - /path/to/SKlauncher .jar
arguments - java -jar /path/to/SKlauncher .jar (did not open)

There must be something i'm missing right? Maybe a totally different approach.

Had some existing parts for an AM4 mobo with 16gb of RAM, grabbed a budget 9060 16gb during Christmas sales, and have now popped Bazzite on this bad boy to make a retro and cozy gaming PC for the fam on the big screen. It’s not particularly sexy but for under $350 in new parts I’m pretty happy with it!

So i have seen different posts about wayland and x11. Im just more curious than anything since its my first week with linux.

But what is the difference and all the jazz between them all and most of all what do they do exactly?

Can someone please give a detailed explanation? 🙂

Today I tried to play Rocket League using Heroic and Proton, but I just couldn't pass the "press any button" screen. Then I figured out it only works if my internet is disconnected.

Epic Games just blocked Proton?

Hey all,

So I've just moved from a 3080Ti to a 9070XT and I'm undervolting the GPU. Typically on Windows I would run 3D Mark and just keep tuning the mV values until the score stops going up and starts going down. Afterwards I typically run something like furmark for 30 minutes to an hour to make sure there are no crashes

However, to my knowledge 3D Mark is not supproted on Linux but I did recall that I used Unigen Superposition to undervolt my Steam Deck so I thought I'd give it a go. Currently at -100mV and it got me thinking if there are other tests because Superposition is quite old to my knowledge and I'm not sure if it's stressing the GPU enough

As an alternative I can always undervolt in Windows since I still have it for some use cases and just note the values and apply them in LACT on linux. I'd just have to do a bit more testing to make sure that the same UV on WIndows will be fine on Linux

I’m using Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3

So I have been having this issue for weeks now and it’s slowly driving me insane. When I started to play multiplayer and use the chat function more frequently, sometimes the game just randomly closes/quit (Not crashing but like closing when pressing the close window button or alt+f4). Before the game exit, the typing start to feel glitchy as in my input isn’t registering, the mouse right click menu sometimes/(almost all of the time?) open on the top left corner of the screen. Then the game suddenly exit to desktop (closes entirely), and for some reason the desktop bottom right corner dialog box (the one that open when you type something while at the desktop) keeps spamming a single letter. That random letter might be y or b or anything really.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Alright, first of all I'm not entirely alien to Linux systems. Since 2017 I've tried Lin ux and it's many distros. Hopped and daily drive on my Gaming PC from 2023 to 2024 then switched back to Windows and never bothered again because I bought a VR headset and wanted to use it.

I've daily drive Linux (Ubuntu LTS) on my ThinkPad E14 and use it daily so there are no problems there. It's pretty much flawless.

On my Gaming PC though I've never gave a thought about going back because my last experience with gaming was %80 of time going to tweaking/tinkering and %20 was actually playing the game.

So this sums up my prior experience with Linux. Now I'm planning on dabbling on it once again because it seems like 16GB RAM is not really enough on Windows and rammagedon is not looking good.

I'm positive that my specs is pretty much golden for Linux usage as it's all AMD but still adding them here just in case:

Ryzen 5 3600X - RX 9060 XT 16GB - 16GB DDR4 3600Mhz CL14

Now since you guys have much more recent experience than me on gaming side of things I got few questions:

1- How's the RAM usage on Linux with games and background programs (Discord/Spotify) open? This is my main motivator for switching to Linux. On Windows I easily hit 15.5 GB usage with Game/Spotify/Discord open.

2- There was a severe gap between Windows and Linux performance I'm talking about %20-30 at worst. Has this improved on AMD side?

3- Has VR become viable on Linux? I got Quest 3 and use Virutal Desktop on Windows to play only one game Blade and Sorcery. When I got this headset there was lots of issues on Linux side. ALVR and DRM was pain in the ass to setup, Blade and Sorcery would stutter and had pretty low FPS (from 120/90 to 30-45 FPS) on Linux which wasn't simply the issue on Windows and finally with Steam Frame on the horizon did Valve somehow took the SteamVR to next level so I don't need any bridge software like ALVR and just use native SteamVR to play my games on Linux? This is one of the dealbreakers back in the day for me so it's pretty important.

4- Has VRR support improved? I know that Gnome and KDE has implemented VRR and should be stable but on my monitor when I last tried I had lots of issues, like VRR flicker (from voltage changes between refresh rates) while on Windows this issue was non-existent on my AOC Q27G2U monitor.

5- Input latency is one of the major things I consider. I play competitive games which work under Linux AFAIK (For Honor, Overwatch 2, CS2) and I'm pretty much sensitive to input lag. Did Wayland improved on this end compared to past versions? Because I remember having terrible input latency increases on Wayland with both GNOME and KDE. I'm talking about 30-40 ms differences compared to Windows.

6-On Windows with AMD Adrenaline Software we just got a pretty much a easy upgrade toggle for FSR 3 FG and Upscaler to FSR ML FG and FSR 4 Upscaler. I'm betting my money that those work on Proton might have implemented similar upgrade to FSR4 as it's now 8 months old but do we got FSR ML FG? Also AMD Image Sharpening 2 which came out with RDNA4 is pretty much a must have and great upgrade from the original Image Sharpening so do we have something like that? AFAIK RIS 2 uses AI Accelerator cores to detect UI and whatnot and intelligently sharpen the image whereas old RIS was just a full screen sharpening effect.

These are my main concerns and questions for Linux users because I have limited time to play games as of now. I can't really troubleshoot for 3-4 hours like I did in 2023-2024 and would rather use that time to game.

Thank you all for your answers in advance.

Vortex

As we move into 2026, Vortex is shifting back to the centre of our development roadmap. While we have spent the last couple of years exploring new territory with the Nexus Mods App, we have decided to consolidate our efforts and bring all that innovation directly into Vortex. Over 1.4 million modders use Vortex every month to mod their games, and we’re committed to improving their modding experience.

Our plans for the year include a steady, iterative modernisation of the Vortex user experience. We’ll be investing in the developer experience, which will allow us to focus on quality-of-life improvements, specifically streamlining navigation, simplifying game management, and introducing more intuitive controls for load orders. You can expect the interface to become cleaner and more responsive as we integrate the design lessons learned from our recent projects. Our goal is to make modding more accessible and reliable without disrupting the workflows that long-time Vortex users have come to rely on.

We’re also committing to supporting Vortex on SteamOS. We’ll be targeting vanilla Steam hardware like the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. We won’t be officially supporting any other configurations, but as Vortex is an open source project community developers will be free to extend support for their preferred Linux distros as they please.

Here’s an early proof of concept (subject to change) of the updated Vortex navigation:
