Hey there! I know there are no definitive right answers to this but I'm looking for recommendations and experiences. I have been running Mint with my 3090 for a while now but have recently upgraded to an HDR enabled OLED monitor which is when I try to log in using Wayland I get a black screen and nothing else. I do not really want to wait for Mint to catch up and want to try a new distro that has more feature support, but I wonder if I should also try and sell my 3090 and switch to a 7800 xt? Would love to hear some thoughts.

My wife and I are both gamers, and switch between playing gameplay focus games(ffxiv, overwatch, wow etc) and story games. Because our setup has us back to back, when one of us is playing a good story game, we'd normally screen share on discord so the other can watch on a 2nd monitor while we play our nonsense. But ever since I made the switch over to Linux(Arch with Hyperland) Discord streaming was at first non existent and the current implementation is horrible for me, like 10 fps.

Just curious if anyone has a suggestion for a lan software that can do this pretty easily? I know I could just stream it on twitch with OBS but since its just for us to screen share I figured local hosted would be a better option.

Whenever recording with OBS it seems rather unstable and I also can't find an option to only record the audio of one window [it only records the whole output].

I can't find a fix and I'm honestly not 100% dedicated to OBS so if there is either a fix or a replacement I'm cool with either.

BLUF: Use the old dstorage and dstoragecore dlls to fix the crash on start up. Seems pretty ubiquitous across distros. You can get them from nexusmods.
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/1539

PSA: Title Update 1 updated some Directstorage files that cause MH Wilds to crash on launch after a lengthy "program is not responding" issue.

Rolling back to the prior version dstorage.dll and dstoragecore.dll files fixes the issue. You can find them at nexusmods. Some saint uploaded them.

Posting here for visibility.

Crash experienced on EndeavourOS and feedback from several other distros with the same issue.

Cheers.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in running The Division 2 – Steam version – on Linux.

I am currently running EndeavorOS. I'm not a fan of Lutris, and am even less fond of Ubisoft Connect, so I figured that since I also have the game on Steam, I'll give it a go. ProtonDB is not particularly helpful here, because most advice I had found was about running it from Ubisoft Connect or SteamDeck.

I've tried different Proton versions, even several ProtonGE ones, to no avail. So I'm wondering if it's even possible to run Steam version of The Division 2 on Linux – if anyone has any input or experience with it, please, let me know!

Hello !

I'm having crash problems with Marvel Rivals. People who have had the same problems found the same issue (that I also seem to have) : My GPU clock speed goes off the charts.

So, I wanna use LACT in order to fix the problem (by limiting the clock speed, since it worked for others), but whenever I try, LACT can't commit clock settings.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, if that helps

Hi community. I'm thinking about upgrading my system because I have issues with my graphics card driver on Linux Mint (either breaking audio or stuck bugged graphics depending on what driver I choose) and I'd like to make a small upgrade mainly to switch over to AMD. I'm currently lost because I don't really know where to start my research.

My current system:

https://preview.redd.it/dihbla32avse1.png?width=634&format=png&auto=webp&s=65077042a7be23fcf1223a3ea79cf90948f3db5b

If you need additional info please ask back.

I mostly play indie games and I don't care too much about graphics. 1920x1080p is fine for me and I also don't care about extremely high framerates as I hardly play fast paced games. Stable 30-60 is enough for me.

I'd like to play games like Cyberpunk soon maybe even GTA 6 at some point in the future, no ultra settings necessary though. Is this even possible with only a small upgrade?

Does it make sense to only upgrade the graphics card to some AMD model and upgrade memory, too? What would be something reasonable for a few 100 € max? Does this make sense at all or do I need to decide between sticking to my current system of making a complete upgrade of the whole system?

Every help would be highly appreciated.

Hi there, have anyone tried steam overlay or similar on Kali linux. I am using some tools on kali which is not compatible on ubuntu so planning to make new user for gaming. Is it just me or someone is doing the same. ✌️🙂

Waited with a friend last night to play once the game went live with the new update, and once it posted and installed, tried launching it and got an instant brick. Proton GE and Proton 9 were system crashes, and Proton Experimental managed to stay system live, but wine and gnome control center posted stalled application and the game itself generated a crash report.

I tried enough proton versions that I got locked out by Denuvo, so I haven't been able to test it again since, but I was interested to see if anyone else had trouble launching since last night's title update.

I can post journalctl and other terminal outputs later, but I do remember launching steam via terminal, launching the game, and seeing that wine was attempting to set priority level for the process and failing, but I don't know if that's indicative of the overall problem.

Games like Metaphor Refantazio and BG3 launched and ran as expected, no issues, so it's likely a driver/proton issue caused by MH Wilds first title update.

If anyone's made any headway on fixing it already, I'm hoping to be able to play with my friend still this weekend. Thanks.

Hi, I have a not-so-good netbook that I was looking to optimize for gaming. Do you recommend Nobara or POP OS? Or another Linux? I've done a lot of research, but I always come to the same conclusion: either POP or Nobara. That's why I thought I'd ask here, as they always have answers to the questions.

I’m using Fedora 41 and an 8bitdo ultimate 2c wired. Playing hollow knight from steam big picture and my trigger inputs don’t register half the time. It seems that the trigger doesn’t activate on a full press

Edit: rumble also doesn’t work

I've found out that people can install the arch based steam os on any handheld or pc now via steam's steamdeck recovery image. I wonder if games that work on steam deck (like infinity nikki, strinova) but not on any linux pc actually works on a pc with the steam deck steamos now.

I don't know if it was the update of Plasma to 6.3.4 or what but HDR is working without Gamescope or a Wayland session. Before, the colors would look washed after enabling the HDR toggle in game but now it seems to be mapping it correctly now.

The games I have tested so far have been The Last of Us Part 2, Proton Experimental, and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, CachyOS-Proton. I will test some more when I get home today from work.

Launch options are

DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=AD100 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%

By the way, I am on CachyOS, RTX 4090, Asus PG32UCDM monitor using the displayport.

I noticed in the changelog for Plasma that there was some cursor related VRR fixes too. VRR has never really worked well on Plasma with my system. The refresh rate would erratically change and moving the cursor was the only thing that would stabilize it. Hopefully, that is fixed.

Okay, so like the title says, I am really interested in moving from windows to Linux. I mostly game, but I do use my pc for web browsing, school and those things as well. I know a little about Linux, but I am still unsure about making the switch.

Mainly, is it worth it? And what will I encounter?

I have an asus x870-i and amd system with a 9070. I like to run low settings and adjust my gpu for quiet and low heat operations (undervolt and low power settings).

Anyone have any advice? Guidance?

Appreciated!
