This is not at all tested by me and is more anecdotal, but...

When i was using Gnome, temperatures in cyberpunk started at about 90C junction, and quickly hopped up to 95C and up with default fan curves. I had to spin the fans at about 2500 RPM just to keep it slightly under 90C.

Now i'm on KDE Plasma, and (this is the anecdotal non scientific part) while the ambient temperatures are a bit lower now, so of course, the temperatures will be lower but here's the thing - Now i'm getting juction temperatures of 75-80C with fans spinning at 500-1200RPM!

The ambient temperature is not *that* lower so that the GPU can go from "barely keeping it under 90C with 2500RPM" to "casually cooling the 75C junction with 1000RPM".

This is a drastic difference for ambient temperature difference of about 10C. I don't think 10C ambient temperature difference would equate to 20C difference in GPU temps with drastically lower fan speeds?

Cyberpunk also seems a bit smoother in frametimes overall on Plasma, but that's possibly because of the huge overheating that was happening on gnome...

Anyone have any similar experience?

After recent updates on opensuse steam vr just freezes and crashes the whole computer when starting steam vr this was after a recent update I can't downgrade because I had to reinstall so I don't have the rollback what coude cause this steam vr never freezed or crashes the whole pc before recent tumbleweed updates.

I think this updates happend 1 week ago ISH

Is there anything I coude do

Steam vr use to work flawlessnesy 100% perfect before tumbleweed updat I think the last roolback where vr worked was the one I had with kernal 6.10.3 something after that no longer works don't know if this the kernal causing problem or if it's a driver or whatever

I have a amd 7900xt GPU And a r9 7900 CPU

I've been trying to run Gmod on steam using proton, and when I try to launch it, it shows it as running for a few seconds and nothing happens. I've only been using Linux for about a week now. I've tried installing directx9 and loading it, yet nothing happens still. (I know I don't need to use proton to run it, but I'm using it as an example. All games I've tried don't function using it.)

This is what was printed when I used inxi -F.

Hi, I posted here about two weeks ago regarding an issue I was having with TWH3, one of my favourite and most played games. I managed to solve it by distrohopping to Nobara because Manjaro was screwing me over but I've got a new and kind of weird problem.

• Run it Native with Wayland, performs fine, no issues with stability vanilla or modded, but the Linux port is noticeably behind in patches and content and doesn't play nice with some mods due to being out of date.
• Run it with GE Proton in Wayland, game is lucky to make it past the launcher. Basically crashes 9/10 times on startup, with 1/10 times crashing on the main menu. Have tried verifying files, disabling mods, several fresh installs and mucking around with advanced launch options but nothing sticks.
• Run it with GE Proton in X11, game runs well enough but at noticeably far worse performance than Native Wayland; to be expected, but frustrating to know that I could run things better + X11 problems.

I get that this is most likely an Nvidia thing, since if you look at the specs below I am running an Nvidia card, but I've also considered other potential problems like Wayland being Wayland and maybe switching to something like Hyprland. If anyone's had any similar problems and knows potential fixes then sharing them would be highly appreciated.

Operating System: Nobara Linux 40

KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0

Qt Version: 6.7.2

Kernel Version: 6.10.7-200.fsync.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)

GOW (2018) ran pretty well.

I'm worried about the requirement of a PSN account. Is there a chance this includes Sony's PC DRM layer that blocks non-windows systems (with a very specific error message saying "use Windows") that we saw with Concord?

It's hard to pull me away from Bloons TD 6, but Terrorformer TD has managed to do it. A tower defense game where you constantly tweak the battlefield as time goes on.

So I'm having an issue with the modorganizer2-installer when installing MO2 to try and manager my Skyrim SE install. When running the installer script I get:

INFO: selected game 'skyrimspecialedition' INFO: found Steam in '/home/<me>/.local/share/Steam' INFO: game not found in '/home/<me>/.local/share/Steam' INFO: game found in '/mnt/games/SteamLibrary' INFO: steam not found in '/home/<me>/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam' pressure-vessel-wrap[10161]: E: ':' and '\' in --filesystem argument not handled yet Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/protontricks", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('protontricks==1.11.1', 'console_scripts', 'protontricks')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protontricks/cli/main.py", line 32, in cli main(args) File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protontricks/cli/util.py", line 159, in wrapper return cli_func(self, *args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protontricks/cli/main.py", line 381, in main returncode = run_command( ^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protontricks/util.py", line 516, in run_command raise RuntimeError( RuntimeError: bwrap launcher crashed, returncode: 2 ERROR: Protontricks did not find a valid prefix directory. Stdout was:\n

The game does run through Steam, and I've done so to create a prefix in the right place. My steam directory is not on my root drive, but supposedly the installer can account for that as seen above.

The errors comes down to this E: ':' and '\' in --filesystem argument not handled yet issue, but I don't know what is causing it. I'm not sure where it's conjuring up "E:\" from.

Anyone know how to get this working?

Hey guys, so I have been asked this several times in the past, how I record and stream on Linux.

So I thought I might make a quick video about what software and settings that I use for achieving this.

As always, if you don't want to watch the video, I have a written version below.
