First off, I just want to make it clear that I'm not a beginner to Linux, so you don't necessarily need to walk me through every step.

I have an issue when recording Minecraft. Sometimes, a part of the screen on the top randomly becomes black (it's very hard to explain) and I'm not sure how to resolve this. I didn't notice this happening with vanilla Minecraft, but when I use mods I noticed this. It only happens in Fullscreen. I tried turning off Cinnamon's "Disabling compositing in full-screen windows" but it didn't help.

Here is a clip of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNHrjfzxmUE

Here is my Xorg.conf.

Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Option "Coolbits" "24" # Option "TearFree" "on" # Doesn't seem to do anything in recent driver versions Option "TripleBuffer" "on" # Doesn't seem to make any difference Option "ForceCompositionPipeline" "1" # I need this or I get really bad screen tearing in all games EndSection

My operating system is Linux Mint 22.2 Zara, and for drivers I am using nvidia-driver-570-open (version is 570.172.08-0ubuntu0.24.04.1). 580 drivers cause other unrelated issues, so I'm not using them.

My system specs are an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti. I have the GPU overclocked +400 core and +2000 VRAM but I don't think that should affect anything.

Hey everyone, I'm running Arch Linux on a Acer Nitro. I noticed a weird behavior in Dota 2:

When there are few objects (like in a lobby), GPU clocks are normal:
❯ nvidia-smi -q -d CLOCK

Clocks

Graphics : 915 MHz

SM : 915 MHz

Memory : 4001 MHz

Video : 855 MHz

But when many heroes/effects appear, clocks drop immediately:

❯ nvidia-smi -q -d CLOCK

Clocks

Graphics : 1095 MHz

SM : 1095 MHz

Memory : 4001 MHz

Video : 1005 MHz

In ranked games, after ~10 minutes of play, clocks can fall further to ~800–1000 MHz.

Specs: Ryzen 5 3550H, GTX 1650 Max-Q, Hyprland 0.51.1, Driver 580.95.05.

Could this be a TDP/power limit issue? Any tips for safely maintaining higher clock speeds under load?

P.S. It's not overheating—the GPU temperature doesn’t go above 55°C.

Hey reddit, I want to have a double boot on my pc with Windows. Windows would for my classes and all and I would like a Linux distro in order to game with the best perfs, so which distro would be the best for such purpose ?

Best regards

Yes, i know the go to reply is OBS, but it's literal trash on Linux for me and I'm clueless what to do about it.

But first, my specs are: Dell G15 5530, RTX 3050 laptop version with 6 VRAM, i5 13450HX (i think, not sure), 16GB RAM, Fedora 42, 600MB broad band internet.

On Windows OBS just works, I meddle with some stuff here and there to toogle an scene where it starts recording/streaming solely the full screen stuff, being the game, and that's about it, just need to regulate the mic volume sometimes.

Went to test OBS on Linux and on start I can't find some configurations that I have on windows for some weird reason, like this one to capture only the full screen stuff.

My audio is constantly duplicated, i managed to uncover that is due to OBS somehow capturing both my desktop audio and my headphone audio (i think that's what was happening), and when I turned off the mic capture, the duplicate audio would vanish. The thing is, i was solely using the headphones for audio output, and the mic i was using were from the laptop itself, no sound was coming out of the laptop at all. So what to do about this?

The video recording quality and stream quality were literal trash, extremely low FPS and very poor video quality, even on recorded videos. On Windows i never had a problem like this and I just can't find anything to help me begin to fix all of this.

I don't want to have to download a game both on my windows SSD and my Linux SSD (I dual boot) in order to be able to stream pr record it whenever I want to.

PS: I'm not tech expert, and somewhat a noob in therms of PC and Linux, specially for gaming.

Im trying to run tomb raider 2013 on steam with linux mint (not using wayland) but its not working. I click the launch button but it doesnt even launch.
Ive tried using every proton version on steam and every GE-proton version but nothing worked. Shadow of the tomb rider and Rise of the tomb raider worked just fine.

Has anyone gone through this problem and solved it?

Build:
Linux Mint 22.2
Amd ryzen 7 7735HS

I've tried everything, but nothing works. I've tried the FlatPak installer and Modrinth.

On Fedora Gnome 48

Or for all games at all. I'm having the same problems with The Finals(Steam) and Watch Dogs 2(Lutris)

I saw there's gamescope but I'm not sure how to use that.

I just had to swap to linux on my pc since my pc didnt want to start with windows 10 anymore and it does not support windows 11. I just started to find a way to install league of legends but noticed there was no official links for linux and the pages that came up on google seems to be older than vanguard. Is there any way or do I have to buy a newer computer that supports windows 11 do play again?

Hey there, I am a bit new to linux and I'm trying to sort of transition to it with my games and other misc things. One of the issues I've encountered is with the Dead Space games 2 and 3.
They both have the same issue with not being able to activate the license.

(I am running EA app via bottles with proton)

A bit more info: I have NFS Heat also running in the same way and it works no issues. So I don't think its a bottles issue. (Keyword: I don't think)

System specs if needed (?):
AMD R9 5900x, Rx 5700XT

That's the error msg that I get when I launch them

How do I fullscreen this stuff man ? This one is running through wine, even running on lutris doesn't fix full screen. There's not even the option to fullscreen this(blue button). Only close and minimise buttons are there. When I launch through gamescope then it doesn't run. Same problem on windows, the .ini files don't have any resolution or screensize options , what can I even do ?

I've been thinking about this for a while and I thought it would be a good idea, but I'd like to hear from others who are more experienced than me, because Kali is for penetration testing and not for gaming, but I kind of have to use it because it's my job, and I don't have the money to buy a good USB stick to put a live boot on to play my games on another more appropriate distro. If you think the idea is bad, I ask you to give me tips on how to play on Kali without frustration.

After installing Deckyframegen, instead of adding the launch commands, then going into desktop mode to copy the fsr4 fp8/int8 into the game folder manually.

You can just copy the fsr 4 sdk files into "~/fgmod/" folder, then this launch command will also install fsr4 at the same time. No need to go into desktop mode!

Note - You'll probably have to repeat this step when deckyframegen updates

So I have a 12th Gen Intel i9-12900K × 16, an RTX 3080 and 32 gigs of RAM, just recently switched to Mint Cinnamon from Win10. Helldivers 2, Dark and Darker and Supermarket Simulator all run like ass, For The King crashes at title screen 100% of the time. I've tested a few other games and they run well, but why is it so hit-and-miss? I'm using the recommended drivers for the GPU. Really hoping there's something I can do to bring gaming back in line to how it was with Win10

Hi everyone! This is a very special day for me. After months of sleepless nights working on my game, the demo is finally ready! I’m super excited to share it with you and can’t wait to see you enjoy it.

If i made you smile today, please wishlist now on steam to support me, it is really a lot support for me. Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3896300/Toll_Booth_Simulator_Schedule_of_Chaos/

About the game: You tried to escape prison but got caught. Instead of prison, they gave you a debt. Manage a toll booth on a desert highway. Check passports, take payments, and decide who passes. Grow fruit, mix cocktails, sell drinks, and dodge the cops. The only way to earn freedom is by paying off your debt.

Thanks for reading

I'm new to both Linux and PC building. I was advised to pick parts based on the most intensive game I wanted to run, so I picked Crash Bandicoot 4 and with some help built a PC with the following parts:

-AMD Ryzen 5 4500

-Silicon Power GAMING 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)

-Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II

-Kingston NV3 500 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

-Asus STRIX GAMING Radeon R9 390 8 GB Video Card

The Linux distro I'm using is Pop!_OS (Version 22.04). But, despite clearly meeting the hardware requirements, when I run Crash Bandicoot 4 and wait after the opening FMVs and the first loading screen, the framerate drops to like 1 frame per second. I can barely get past the title screen.

I've tried a bunch of different fixes and looked in all kinds of places. I've updated the drivers with sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. I've tried four different versions of Proton and put "gamemoderun %command%" in the launch options as suggested by ProtonDB. I know the display is coming from the graphics card (that's where my monitor is plugged in, the command line says it's using the card, and I don't think this motherboard has integrated graphics anyway). I've noticed the fans on the graphics card aren't spinning, but I'm assuming that's because I'm not using them long enough for the GPU to get hot.

Here are some screenshots with radeontop and System Monitor. It's weird that the graphics card doesn't look like it's doing anything.

I feel very in the dark here. I'm pretty sure it's something between the graphics card and the OS, not the hardware itself causing this. Even when the game is chugging along in a different tab, everything else on the system runs smoothly. But I can't know for certain. I'll give any other information if needed.

I added steam to Lutris because I was just adding everything to Lutris seeing what would happen familiarizing myself with the program, but now it shows all my steam games which for me is redundant because if I'm going to play a steam game I'm just going to use the steam client ("why did you add your steam account in the first place?" like I said, I was just familiarizing myself at the program thinking I could easily remove it after if I didn't need it or at least filter it out, and I also didn't realize it would automatically add my entire steam library whether I wanted it to or not without any way to remove it) and it clogs the library of non-steam games I have installed via Lutris. How do I get rid of all of these games that were added by adding my steam account or filter them out? I just checked and heroic has this feature so I am very confused as to why I cannot find it in Lutris because it seems like a very fundamental feature that should be in all of these sorts of game managers.

I tried to install Hollow knight on fedora using heroic games launcher but this keeps happening. It happens everytime I run the setup file and select a folder to unpack the resources to. I just switched to Linux and don't know what this is happening. I tried to image search this problem but I can't find anything relevant or helpful
