Is there any chance enabling it? Because, as of now, even on desktop colors are "bad". But I managed to mitigate that with wallpapers that I don't really notice that much washed out/pixelated effect. Two days spend fixing it in games, because experience was just ... 🤢 Since I'm on AMD, there's it's even some "useful" control panel/center to work with. I managed to get workaround in games just by opening then with Lutris. At least there's advance tab where you can toggle HDR (on/off). I'm pretty sure there's some Steam command that I can use to get proper picture, but I just don't have energy and nervs to search for that right now. Now, I know that as of now this sounds more like rant, I mean, I am kinda frustrated. Sorry about that. Ok, so, when since Lutris has it (experimental, yes) just one toggle, is there way to enable it system wide? I managed to fix is for games, but what about other media content? So, is there some "workaround" for that?

As of now, I noticed I didn't give much of an information, but running Fedora Gnome, tried Wayland and xorg, changing ICC profile's updating with little to no change..

But I did manage to notice, yesterday when trying with Valheim game on steam (it has native linux port), every other method was "distorted", meaning vulkan native, proton dxvk different proton versions, except native GL version. Only native GL was giving me "proper" colors. Any other option was distorted. But, for some reason, GL won't lauch today (don't have energy to look on why), and other game's don't have that option so I had to look elsewhere. And that's why I ended up with Lutris (since I already have it installed).

So, if anyone have some ideas, suggestions.. maybe even I am looking at this from bad perspective. Maybe even I have something ON and I'm just going around to turn it off.

As the title says. The Emulator is not showing up in nvidia-smi.

Other NON-flatpak games (from Steam) run on Dedicated GPU.

I Gave it GPU Acceleration permission using Flatseal, ran this command flatpak override --user --device=dri --env=__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 --env=__VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only --env=__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia net.rpcs3.RPCS3 and I also did this __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia flatpak run net.rpcs3.RPCS3
and still nothing.

Do I need to install Nvidia drivers through flatpak too? I only have mesa

Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 24.0.6
Mesa (Extra) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 24.0.6

My system is ArchLinux based and is running Wayland. RPSC3 wouldn't even launch on X11.

Collect and transform against friends in the Cassette Beasts free multiplayer update, which is now officially available.

Hello! I have always used Linux (I have been using Arch for 10 years) but I never dedicated myself to gaming. My desire returned and I am entering the world again. I had quite a few problems installing Ghost Of Tsushima and was finally able to play it without problems using the DODI repack without an installer in Bottles.

I have Bottles installed through Flatpak, I did not modify any permissions with Flatseal. I have read somewhere researching that the ideal would be to run the game within the prefix, so I copied the folder and content to drive_c.

Is this a safe way to keep "away from my main system"? Or how could I do it?

I also understand that these games downloaded from the correct and safe sources should not cause any type of problem nor should they be infected. And the truth is I have been a Windows user and used cracked games and I never had problems, but it is good to stay safe.

Apart from the fact that I use my system connecting to a Trezor wallet and I do not have another PC to work apart from crypto. It's the main reason why I want to keep everything in order.

The Doors of Trithius from Jake Donkersgoed is a deep sprawling roguelike RPG currently in Early Access and it really looks worth a look.

when i turn on screen tearing feature on kde wayland it does not work even on a game.

Arctic Eggs is a thoroughly unique and terribly odd sounding game about cooking up some eggs, to eventually win your freedom while you're stuck in Antarctica.

I had the super annoying problem that Far Cry 6 hangs at the loading window before going full screen and only start every 1/x times. This was super annoying.

Looking at the processes it seemed that none of the Far Cry related processes do anything (consume CPU). Which indicates they are waiting for something, Since they keep waiting forever, they probably wait for eachother:

a deadlock

I tried various debugging methods to figure out which process is waiting for what. But FC_m64d3d12.dll has anti debugging built in and will refuse to work if you launch FarCry6.exe under gdb. (btw how to debug under proton is documented here.) It does not have debugging information obviously and recompiling also does not work. I am not a great reverse engineer.

Deadlocks are a problem in computer science that can result from bad programming, bad assumptions or alike e.g. explicit waits. Read up on them on wikipedia.

My hacky solution for the problem is to restrict Far Cry to a single CPU while loading, this way the bad assumptions that are made by the program are more likely to be true. Because the processes don't run truly concurrent.

Here is my launch script that achieves this.

#!/bin/bash proton run FarCry6.exe & # run the game and continue in the script PID=$! # save the PID of the first process into a variable taskset -cp 0 $PID # restrict the process to CPU 0 sleep 10 # wait some time taskset -cp 0-19 $PID # give it back all CPUs submitted by /u/silentpanther127

As the title says, any recommendations for another distro

I have a computer that can run Cyberpunk smoothly, therefore I would have expected it to easily handle Far Cry 6. But it was always capped around 10 FPS. Changing the graphics settings from super low to super high did not make a difference, which could lead to the conclusion that it is not that the GPU can not handle it. Also nvtop shows the graphic card is bored.

It took me a long time to figure the problem out. It turns out that the Far Cry executable has some bad instructions built in that affect more than one cache line and therefore can slow down other processes. This is a big nono on a multiuser system. Linux has a built in countermeasure: split lock detection. It will intentionally give a process that does these operations less resources, therefore the slowdown. You can find a technical explanation: here https://lwn.net/Articles/911219/.

It will warn about this when it does it, you can see if this is the problem by looking at sudo dmesg while running the game.

A gaming computer though is not a multiuser system though, when I play a game, it can have all the resources it wants. Therefore it is safe to turn the split lock detection off.

You can achieve this by adding split_lock_detect=off to the kernel parameter.

When using grub you would edit /etc/default/grub so that the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable contains it, then update-grub and reboot.

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet splash"

should become

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet splash split_lock_detect=off"

I am unsure which kernels have the split lock detection on by default, I learned the hard way that ubuntu does. I assume arch does not, since not many people report this problem and it is steam's recommended distro. But you can simply check dmesg if you are affected by this.

If you're a fan of cloud gaming, you may want to take a little look into Netris. The developers say it's a GeForce NOW alternative, one you can self-host with it being open source. They're also keen to highlight some Stadia-like elements of it too.

I have a really old computer and followed this tutorial to install arch and cannot drag click (using friction in mouse to click really fast, watch this if you don't understand) in minecraft, not that I'm in f11 or anything, I went to cpstest.org and the drag clicks don't register at all, it only registers the first click of each drag. I'm sure my mouse can drag click as I did on my pc but it just doesn't register on arch gnome. But the computer is able to register drag clicks as it did on windows 10, and I couldn't manage to use kde for some reason (it just blackscreens and sends me back to the login page).

So yesterday I installed Steam on my Linux (Mint Cinnamon 21.3), went to the settings and enabled Steam Play for all devices. I tried with normal Steam and Flatpack Steam, both won't launch games (When I press "play", the game seems to load, but then the button returns to its original state, without opening anything, showing that the game hasn't launched).

I would appreciate some help!! I'm fairly new to Linux.

As the title says.

Here's mine: SuperTuxKart. Running great at highest graphics settings on my T14s featuring Mint 21.3.

Very much looking forward to 1.5 and 2. There were some internal problems hampering the development for a while. Seemed like the project is dying at times. But the STK team is now back on track.

I play it with one of those Bluetooth retro Nintendo style controllers from Amazon. Rather annoying to play using the keyboard. With the controller it's great fun.

There are some obvious and some more subtle issues with STK 1.4 but it's easy enough to avoid them. Like some of the race tracks are too difficult at the expense of realistic physics. Some of the karts are just useless. Some drive well everywhere.

Donated $ 10 to the project: https://supertuxkart.net/Donate

Would either be possible? I've found a book in Kindle I'd like to get which is for UE beginners.

It seems 2024 truly is the year of Wayland on the Linux desktop huh? Even Canonical are now planning to have it by default for NVIDIA for Ubuntu 24.10.
