Should i buy another gpu?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 01:04

Hey. I’ve been daily driving Ubuntu/mint on my laptop for like 8 months and its has been great. Its a ryzen 5500u and 16gb and a great experiencie. In a few days a new motherboard and cpu arrives for my desktop and i want to go full linux, but the gpu is my problem. I have a 3070, have done some research about drivers and stuff. I understand ubuntu should work fine but still has some problems here and there. I wanted also to go with a amd gpu and a find 9060xt the best option for my use case, but after watching some videos comparison, its a veeery small upgrade on gaming performance. So, im looking for advice. Should i just use the 3070 or buy the new gpu? Also the “old hardware” after some upgrades will be reused for a home server or go to my brother

Arc B580 Mesa performance significantly worse than Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 00:52

Recently bought an Intel Arc B580 to use in my partner's old PC to use while I'm at their place and I noticed that it performs significantly worse than many benchmarks showed, even beyond the typical performance loss of running a game through Proton/DXVK. So just as a sanity check I installed Windows on the PC and sure enough, the card ran just as well as those benchmarks and even a little better in some cases. So that left me wondering, do Mesa drivers just not get the game centric performance improvements that you get on Intel's Windows drivers?

Games available on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Januar 2026 - 23:30

Hello, I don't know much about linux as I have used windows all my life but I really don't want to use windows 11 so I figured linux was my best option but as soon as I started gathering information I found out games like Fortnite or Apex or, from what I read, any game with an external anticheat (in reference to vanguard, easy, etc. I think) do not allow linux users. Does this apply to every linux distro? Is there anyway to bypass this?

Duet Night Abyss wont launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Januar 2026 - 23:19

My Problem is that Duet Night Abyss wont start on my PC.

Well, the Launcher starts without problem, the installation was without problems but when I try to Start it.. wont. After some seconds it goes back to the launcher. Everytime.

I tried it with "Proton-GE Latest", "GE-Proton10-24", used wine, even tried just to start it over Steam. Nothing worked.

I installed it multiple times with the same results. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

After a cpu upgrade, ALVR has stopped working.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Januar 2026 - 23:13

The screen on the headset (quest 3S) is pixelated, I cant get a screenshot, unfortunately.

This is is the error message:

Failed to create VAAPI encoder: Cannot open video encoder codec: Function not implemented

Please make sure you have installed VAAPI runtime.

I upgraded from a 7 7700 to a 9950x3d

My gpu is the 7600rx

My distro is arch linux
My headset is quest 3
Alvr is version 20.14.1

What I have tried

  • Restarting (about 5 times)
  • Full system update
  • Reinstalling Mesa and vulan-raedon
  • Installing incompatible drivers and spending an hour trying to delete them

Hitman WoA Performance Issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Januar 2026 - 22:15

Trying to play Hitman on Linux Mint and I can't understand why my performance is so poor. On windows I can get up to 144 fps with my laptop: i5 12450hx RTX3050 6GB 16 GB RAM. On Linux I get 40-50 on the map Paris. I tried different Proton Versions, I'm monitoring my performance and the GPU and CPU are both below 70% usage, RAM is like 6.5 GB used, VRAM is 3 GBs.

I just got the game and setup the compatibility Layer to Proton GE and then tried Experimental. Always have played games like this and never had issues. To be fair I've only played Hollow Knight, Hades, Slay the Spire which are not intensive at all, so if I haven't setup something correctly it probably wouldn't matter in those games, but in Hitman it's extremely noticable and idk what to do...

Any ideas on what I should try

RadeonSI Starts 2026 With NIR Compilation Refactoring For Better Performance, Lower GLSL Compile Times

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Januar 2026 - 20:38

Not the most exciting thing in the world because it only impacts OpenGL and not Vulkan, but still nice to see.

A question about how the proton works and its capabilities.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Januar 2026 - 20:25

Hi everyone! I'm a Linux noob.

After a week of using Ubuntu on an old PC, I decided to switch to Arch right away, waiting until after the New Year holidays. I installed and configured Arch Linux and found that the Kepler drivers for the GTX 650 conflict with the Xorg kernel. While everything works fine in Vulcan and rendering is handled by the GPU, when using OpenGL, even in Minecraft or in native mode for other Linux games, graphics are rendered by my CPU (an Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2). After searching the forums, I found information that newer versions of Xorg conflict with the Nvidia 470.xx. I'm too lazy to rebuild the configured system (although I know that the configured policom, i3, and polybar configs can be copied and you can try downgrading to an older kernel).

My question is that I know there were enthusiasts running Minecraft Java in Proton, and I know that Proton works on the DX ---> Vulkan principle. Will it work like OpenGL ---> Vulkan?

P.S. Considering possible responses like: "Dude, upgrade your hardware:" - I'd gladly upgrade it if I had the opportunity (and the money). And yes, I know it's my problem that I installed Arch on such an outdated piece of crap.
