It's not really brand new. It's 12 years old. It originally had Windows 8 on it. My dad got it way back in 2012 for his job at Captech. His company ended up letting him keep it and it sat in his closet for 13 years. I found it and set up the latest version of Ubuntu on it. For anyone curious its got a 128GB Sata HDD, a GT 730M with 1 GIGABYTE of VRAM, Intel Core i7-4700MQ 4 x 2.4 - 3.4 GHz and 16 gigs of DDR3. Minecraft 1.21.5 runs at a pretty stable 60fps with some dips. Using proton on steam I get around 30fps on Borderlands 2, half life 2 runs well, SPORE runs GREAT which is awesome, and enter the gungeon runs well too. I have a handful of emulators spanning from the GBA to the PS2 that all run great TOO! Ubuntu itself is also a very smooth experience on this laptop. The most exciting part of this is that I set up my own minecraft server on it, the 16 gigabytes of RAM and not terrible CPU really lends itself well to that. For anyone curious the laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p.

I saw a post from a guy yesterday pretty much having a "meltdown" (metaphorically) because Halo Infinite got update and it broke the game on Linux. Whenever this happens, of course we should reach out devs to notify it and it is normal we ask here if there is a weird issue on our end or actually something broken with the game, but bear this in mind: -If a game has support, unless devs come out and say "No more support for Linux" (like Apex team and R* did), the game will eventually get online back in some hours. Already happened like 3 times with Fallguys, 1 with Gears 5 and now this time with Halo Infinite.

I read people saying MS wants to "harm" Linux and stomp it, but facts say otherwise. The same company who now wants to be everywhere, even on their "real nemesis" (PlayStation), will target Linux as a potential risk? Not only that, but pretty much every single Xbox game has online support on Linux while other third party one would expect should be interested in, does not.

Let's chill a bit. I know this shouldn't happen and we should complain to get access as soon as possible and this way companies will care more whenever they work on these updates, but it is not a drama unless we are properly disclosed by the devs.

Have fun!

I'm on the latest openSUSE Tumbleweed running rocket league through steam Proton 9.0-4 and noticing a big audio delay (about 300ms-400ms if i had to guess).

Other games work like a dream but i can't figure out why rocket league in specific has this audio delay problem.

I'm on PulseAudio PipeWire 1.4.2 audio driver.

I tried to search on google and didn't find anything on my specific situation. Everyone online recommends sticking to PulseAudio so i haven't tried switching audio drivers.

Any ideas for what i should try would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello, I am trying to run Skyrim with a Wabbajack modlist. Most of those would require a 40GB pagefile under Windows.
Will Skyrim (and other games for that matter) use my swap partition like they would a pagefile? If not, what would be the correct way to configure them so they do use the partition or at least a swapfile?

Thank you in advance.

I'm using a laptop with an i7 processor and an rtx 3060 with Unbuntu installed on it to play Red dead redemption 2 via steam proton (version 9.0-4) it works most of the time however randomly it's begun freezing at random areas, sometimes it's when the game starts some times it's in a menue, I'm not really sure, I'm new to Linux gaming and would love some feed back on this

When I reboot from Bazzite video won't show up until the login screen. However when i shutdown and power on I get video from the BIOS onward. I dual boot with windows 11 and when I reboot from Windows I also get video from the BIOS onward. I run a LG C2 as a monitor connected HDMI. My video card is a 3080.

Trying to play EA games but it's a mess. EA app on a feels like weekly basis has some update that it needs a restart but it never succeeds cause it shuts itself down.

I have the games and launcher both on Lutris but nothing ever works.

My only workaround has been to uninstall everything, then download the latest EA Play installer but this isn't sustainable, because if they have a typo in their launcher that then hotfix it the next day, the whole process restarts.

Anyone know a fix? To get the EA launcher to work and update itself successfully? On Bazzite and Lutris.

Been having a strange issue when trying to play any game using proton and even some native games. Tried multiple proton versions, around 30 minutes into playing a game it will begin to stutter badly when i move my mouse or try to move in game. Once i stop moving mouse the game returns to normal. Not sure what causes this but wanted to know if anybody else has had the same issues. Restarting the game stops the issue until the time period has passed and it starts again.

I have an issue with my laptop, that involves frequent stuttering in multiple games. I tried reinstalling drivers, changing from OS (which I've had planned to do anyway), set affinities and updating BIOS. Nothing seemed to work. Tried turning v-sync off/on and locking framerates too.

Specs:

MSI Katana GF66:

CPU: Intel I5 11400f

GPU: RTX 3060 (Mobile)

16GB RAM

512GB SSD

It was working just fine two days ago. Yesterday there was an update and after that, the game stopped recognizing my controller. It does however still let me move the cursor with the touchpad, but that's about it.

I'm on Kubuntu LTS and I'm using the flatpak version of Steam. I also checked to see if the controller still works in other games, and it does. However, I don't see anyone else reporting this issue so I assume it might be Linux only.
