hi folks.

title says it all. what is the difference between those modes?
i heared that accuracy has a performance impact.
is the ,,accuracy" mode really that much better color wise?

which option should i use as a gamer and am i going to see a difference on oleds?
this setting is very confusing, what exactly does it do ?

By request of u/throwawayerectpenis I am making a report of my second week of using Linux for gaming. Honestly, I did not plan on doing this post, but oh well. I know some of you might recall the one that I made about a week ago, if not, you know how to find it.

Moving on, let me remind you that I have been using Linux, mostly Kubuntu, for work for about a decade. I worked in the website hosting industry, so naturally, I had to use Linux for a daily driver and so on and so on. Clients also mostly bought Linux based servers, so yeah, while this is my second week of using Linux for gaming, I am not a stranger to this OS.

Anyway, so far I am loving it and thinking why I did not do this sooner. I mean, boot times are better, FPS might be a bit higher, and there is a strong deficit of bloatware. Microshit can go and sodomize themselves. Now, is Linux perfect? Nope. But it's way easier to configure/adjust a few things here and there than to deal with updates that add no real value and demand and dictate how your PC should work. I paid for my PC, I get to decide how it works and with what, my choice, not some vibe-coded retards choice. This is not a rant, I am merely sharing how things are for me.

For the first week, I mostly got Steam up and running and played a few games. Nothing major, GTA IV was a bit fussy since it is an older game, but I managed to make it work. I did not, however, expect that I needed to manually connect my Spartan Gear controller through the Terminal/Konsole via Bluetooth. Maybe it is on me, but the GUI (KDE) just did not work. But that was not a deal breaker. I connected the controller with the PC once, and now each time I feel like using it, I press the startup button, and it is ready to use in less than a second. This is something that took Windows about 10 seconds, and sometimes, it forgot that the controller even existed, therefore, it had to connect to it from scratch. That aside, games bought from Steam pretty much work out of the box. Yes, sometimes some Proton dependencies need to set manually, but that must be the price of freedom.

What about games outside of Steam? Well, I got WoW up and running. Lutris handled it for me, got Battle.net running, which installed WoW itself. Note that this was not made for me, GF is a WoW fan. And from her POV, it works just like on Winshit, just the booting sequence has different pictures and shortcuts. She's also loving how the KDE GUI allows things to happen faster via custom shortcuts. All in all, no complaints so far. This, to my mind, suggests that a fully configured OS is ready for an end user, respectfully. Maybe some maintenance here and there.

Closing time, I suppose, so here are some final thoughts. Now, on Winshit, I could press Ctrl + R and see my FPS, to which I may have paid too much attention. Right now, I am not sure how to do that, and I might be happier this way. Instead of keeping an eye on the top-left corner to monitor FPS, I actually play the game, and to me, it works just fine. Yeah, I can enable the FPS counter, but right in front of my eyes, I can see a game that is running just fine. So maybe ignorance is bliss. But perhaps I should really enable it to make an actual comparison. Don't rightfully know at this point, so a few opinions would be much appreciated.

And lastly, Space Marine II was on sale, got it, installed it, and it works great for about 99% of the time. There are a few very short periods of time during which the FPS drops for a few seconds. I admit, I have not yet troubleshooted this at all, but I swear that this problem was not present on Winshit 10. As such, a few recommendations on where to look and so on would also be appreciated. After all, we are a community, are we not? I'd also be glad to answer any questions that you may have. Also, this guy might have solved it just recently, but I am yet to review this in full detail.

I've recently set up a dual boot on my Win 10 machine (i7-7700, GTX1080, 64GB RAM) with Pop OS + GNOME using X11 (I think I got that right? I was following instructions from ChatGPT that seemed right). I've installed Steam with no probs, most games install and work fine but Sea Of Thieves requires me to log into my MS Account but it presents me with this. I know it should be showing me a number and link to the authorisation page but this is all I get. The AI gave me the MS devicelogin url to enter the code in but I don't have a code.

Any ideas on how to get this to come up properly?

Edi: And I did search, some people had similar issues but I couldn't find a solution. But ProtonDB seems to indicate it should just work. I've tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental and 10.0-4, all with the same result.

I haven't touched my computer in a while due to personal issue and soon I'll be coming back to it. it's a really old PC rocking an i3 4th gen cpu, last time I used windows 10 and never really touched windows 11 but I heard it's really bad. so I was wondering should I just install Linux in my PC that's coming this week? pewds really like linux

Today, multiple games that previously worked perfectly on Proton just completely broke. They start up, pop up a brief error window, then close. I've tested 4 games now: Railroader, Derail Valley, Lidar Exploration Program, and Crab Champions. The latter did have slightly different behavior, but only because it's on Unreal unlike the others, which are Unity, so it had an Unreal flavored error window instead.

Running them from the command line yielded no results, no error messages printed out or anything. All games had their local files validate successfully. Each of the Unity games produced a log saying, in part:

GfxDevice: creating device client; threaded=1; jobified=0

d3d11: failed to create factory (80004005).

GfxDevice: creating device client; threaded=1; jobified=0

Crash!!!

I looked up that error, and found [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8774). Technically, this isn't the exact problem, but it indicates that it's an issue with DXVK's driver feature requirements.

For the record, I'm using EndeavorOS, I have an AMD Radeon 6700 XT, both `vulkan-radeon` and `lib32-vulkan-radeon` installed, and both `vulkan-icd-loader` and `lib32-vulkan-icd-loader` installed. The problem happens with Proton-GE, Proton Hotfix, Proton 9, you name it.

As in that GitHub issue, `PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1` does "fix" it, but at the cost of performance and ugly graphics. Crab Champions in particular has very distorted and broken graphics with it.

Finally, it looks like Mesa 26.0.1 just came out, which may be related.

Has anyone else had this issue, or know about a possible solution?

I want to download the Portuguese subtitles for Fallout New Vegas, but I don't know how to install them into the files. The tutorials only show how to do this on Windows, and to make matters worse, I bought the game through GOG. Can anyone help me?

I installed Ubisoft Connect on the Heroic Games Launcher using Proton Cachyos, and the latter hadn't given me any problems until I played Assassin's Creed. The problem is visual; it runs, but it appears like this, and I don't know how to fix it. I've already tried different versions of Proton, and the ones that open it all look the same.

I use:

CachyOS

Specs:

Intel Core i5 13450HX

Nvidia RTX 5050 Laptop

24 gb Ram

I am very new to the Linux world, and am finding i love Linux customization and interface. However, no matter what game i play, I am finding terrible performance. Doesn't matter if i play an offline game or a online game, it rubberbands and lags. Games that i iused to get 150+fps i barely get 60. Any help for a new guy? Am i doing something wrong? tips tricks and anything else, i beg you, please share.

Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 4060ti 16GB vram

CPU: Intel i5 12th gen

32GB Ram

,thanks in advance

I tried doing my research online, but to no avail. Initially, I was not able to open the games despite using Proton Experimental. I would press play and it wouldnt start. I found the following launch option. It would open the game, but then I would get distorted graphics. I am running the latest Linux Mint. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm lost. Not sure if this helps, but Counter Strike 1.6 launches fine, so it probably has something to do with the GPU settings or driver. Thanks
