I switched my gaming pc from Windows to Ubuntu this past weekend and I’ve got most of my games functioning. The only one that I’m having problems with is Hearthstone.

I’ve got the latest GE Proton installed and I’m using Faugus to launch Battle.net. Battle.net and World of Warcraft are running fine, but Hearthstone looks like a series of screenshots, too slow for the game to be playable.

Any suggestions?

Hello!
I have question, have 2 monitor setup 1440p 165hz and 2560x1080portrait mode secondary screen
PC specs:
Rx 6700xt
5700x3d
32gb 3000 cl16
As I understood - Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS - seems to be good option to try out, but I do not have any understanding of Linux.
So my main question, is transitioning hard? (i have a bit understanding with Bios, like overclocking, timing management on ram, issue/device managing in windows, so a minimal PC understanding)
What can be issues I encounter?
If i have 2 SSDs, is it a good idea to have dual boot system where 1 SSD is main drive for windows and another for Linux? Is there difference how files are written on drives (external/internal) and can it cause any issue?
If there is some guide which explains this then I have missed it and would appreciate if you will drop link to it!

Hey guys, I'm looking to switch from Windows to Linux. I have a GTX 1080Ti and from what I remember, nvidia cards are not as compatible with Linux as AMD. So what kind of performance would I be seeing if I were to switch?

As for the distro I was thinking of Bazzite, but I am open to any other suggestions.

I want it similar to Windows where I just update it and I'm good to go. I want to find something suitable where I can game, browse, pretty much do everything I could on my main PC but with Linux. I've tried Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin OS, Lubuntu and a couple of others like 10+ years ago and I think I'm ready to fully switch over! Any recommendations? I do have a Steam Deck and love playing it and just messing with Steam OS in general

DO NOTE: Because steam integration is here now, technically all the features for existing NaK setups are gone. There is even a popup. it should be easy to migrate from, and you should be able to choose your steam folder so it points where the prefix goes to. I hope this is a smooth transition or at least some what smooth. You do not have to update at all from the existing setup if you do not want to. And can stay on the older version, but if you do update. You will not be able to interact with your old prefixes at all.

Per request of the people, I have now removed NaK Prefixes and a lot of the stuff that NaK was doing in favor of setting up MO2 as a Non Steam Game. This poll was posted on the discord. I know a few people might not be to fond of this new setup, but I tried to make it still feel like how it was setup before. I recommend getting proton ge or proton cachy from ProtonPlus or ProtonUp-QT. And use GE 10-14 if you are using ENB or one of the latest GEs if you are using CS or anything that isn't ENB

Now all the files related to launching a mod manager, registry fixes, nxm toggle, and the wine prefix and all located inside a folder called NaK Tools! This should make it easier to find the dedicated tools, and the prefix that steam makes.

Launch options should automatically be applied withDXVK_CONFIG="dxvk.enableGraphicsPipelineLibrary = False" STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS= %command%. The Steam Compat Mounts allows steam to view paths that it normally does not, for example if you have a drive mounted in the root of your filesystem lets say /Games steam would not normally see it. But it SHOULD automatically apply this as an example STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/Games. Vortex in my short testing appeared to still work.

In the settings you can find a prefix cleanup, if you remove the mod manager from steam for some reason it does not delete the compatdata this should help you delete it once you are done.

For the future I have a few other things planned if possible. Like a DotNet10 install, forcing the Documents portion of the wineprefix to actually go directly to the NaK Tools folder if that makes sense. This should fix a lot of the vortex errors I hope... Please do bear with me as there might be a few things that I possibly missed.

Edit: Had to fix the, fix game registries.

Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could provide support in helping me to optimize Overwatch 2. Ever since swapping over from windows i've noticed significant performance differences in OW2 and I really want to see if I can better optimize the game because no matter what I've done so far I just don't see any meaningful or lasting boosts in FPS. For reference, I was getting 200 FPS absolute minimum on Windows, averaging around 300. Now on Linux even after shaders compile I average 100 FPS, 150 at absolute best but with constant (and I mean constant) dips from 50-100. I've tried DX12, different launch options, borderless vs fullscreen, and a bunch of other stuff and none of it has seemed to do anything meaningful.

If any more information is needed please let me know! Thank you so much

Hello! I'm not good with computers but I got a Linux laptop second hand for some light computing stuff. In particular I like using it to watch videos and stuff, and have it hooked up via an HDMI to composite converter to an old CRT TV. The GUI won't allow me to set a resolution lower than 800x600, but I would need to get it down to 720x480 to really fit the screen. I'm sure I can do this in the terminal, but I'm not sure what commands to use. If anyone knows, please help, and just be aware that, because I'm not very good with this type of stuff, I will probably need the exact commands typed out in the most idiot-proof possible way. Thanks everyone! 😅

Now I have no idea if this is the right place to post this as the only reason I switched to Manjaro Linux is because a Windows 10 is no longer getting updates and a friend had the thing on a USB flash drive so I kinda don't know what I'm doing most of the time. Anyways the sound just straight up isn't working for me. The audio both in the game and the volume of the application itself are at max and it isn't muted. No idea if it would do anything to help but I also tried the game with steam forcing Proton and without using it but neither worked. I know it isn't my headphones because I can listen to things like YouTube and hear other games on Steam perfectly fine. I'd really appreciate the help or tell me where the right place to get help is if this isn't the right sub lol

So I'm about to buy a PC an and build, I will probably dual boot for what I need to do other than gaming and I have seen Linux boost in gaming in some cases so I was wondering since I will just use Linux for gaming is Steamos better option or should I go with catchyos etc which might give better performance

I recently got a new pair of Arctis 7 Nova headphones and while testing them out I really enjoyed them as the sound quality was an upgrade from my last set.

The issue came when I got on a call with my partner. As soon as they picked up the sound quality dropped significantly and i'm not sure how to get it to return back to normal.

Does anyone have any solutions or been in a similar situation before?
I use a Desktop Mac M1 on Tahoe software if that helps.

I’m not necessarily playing super intensive games, but I am looking to upgrade my 5 year old PC and get a new CPU/GPU. I have been curious on Intel GPUs and want to know how well it works. I’m a software dev, gamer, and I do video editing. Can anyone talk to how well the GPUs run with Linux? Preferred is Pop OS

Hello,

As Microsoft decided to put a deadline on W10 and being absolutely horrified by W11, I decided to jump on Linux, Bazzite.
For now, it only happened when I play WhereWindsMeet but, after 10-15mn the game starts by stuttering, and then my PC freezes, until the fluidity comes back after waiting a bit
If feels like I don't have enough RAM but wouldn't the game crash then ?
Or could it be the shader cash ?

I have absolutely no idea where the cause might be.

Here is my setup :

Operating System: Bazzite 43

KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0

Qt Version: 6.10.1

Kernel Version: 6.17.7-ba22.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12Go)

Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Product Name: B450 GAMING X

I would be grateful for any leads about this and a few pointers on where to look.
Was searching for log files but, I don't know where there are.
