Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 with Linux Mint, 8GB of RAM, and i5-1135G7, and Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and I was wondering, how can I check and change exactly how much VRAM my Iris Xe is using? Unfortunately I cannot upgrade the RAM, so I'm using zram to have 8GB of swap memory

My specific usecase is playing Minecraft with some shaders like BSL at 1080p native resolution with Distant Horizons at 32 DH chunks and 8 vanilla chunks, and I get around 30-35 FPS average, which I can get used to, but without DH, I get around 40-50 FPS at 12 chunks of vanilla render distance. I heard it's supposed to dynamically allocate as much RAM as your system has free, but how do I really know? MangoHud nor 'intel-gpu-tools' can show me. I also dunno if zram actually helps with freeing up the VRAM for my iGPU. Any ideas?

I run a beefy system, and CS2 runs like butt cheeks unlike on Windows for me, however I learned today that you can enable Gamemode (Had to install it on my OS).

So the issue is, it drops to 240 FPS which is not a bad number, but the game feels legitimately like I am playing at 60hz with input delay too, after enabling Game mode the average is now 419 FPS, and zero input lag, and it feels like I am playing on my 180hz display now.

If you've got 100% AMD and change the reimage script, you can install SteamOS on your PC.

Note : IT IS UNSTABLE. IT CAN DISAPEARE FOR NO REASON. (On the hardware i had at least)

I want a system that I can easily run modern games, sometimes surf the Internet, use some light programs (editing, disk management), and I also like to play on console emulators. I also welcome a user-friendly interface. Do you have any advice?

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro (13") running Ubuntu 24.04 on a i5-3210M that I've maxed out with 16gb of RAM. I'm trying to run Forza Horizon 2 (the xbox 360 version) using xenia canary, and I got the files and everything from another post in r/abandonware. I know it works because it successfully launches on my pc using proton experimental on steam (also Ubuntu 24.04) using an i7-9700k and a rtx 3060. Launching with the same proton experimental on my laptop gives me the error message from the image above.

What I'm confused about is how the error message given says that I must "Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your GPU and it supports Direct3D 12 with the feature level of at least 11_0." I am 100% confident that the Intel HD 4000 igpu that the i5-3210M comes with is capable of dx11. Is there a launch option I need to add when launching this in steam to translate these APIs? I'm aware that my laptop's cpu isn't meant to hardly meant to handle anything so intensive, but really any frame rate is fine, so long as I can get this to work.

and after seeing many of other posts in this community, I think I should note that I CANNOT afford a laptop that can actually handle gaming right now. Not even deal-of-the-century cheap 200 dollar rigs. nothing.

Thanks

To make somewhat of a longer story short I have been experiencing difficulty playing World of Warcraft on my machine and have been troubleshooting this issue for going on 3 weeks now. The issue is basically than while in combat & moving around a bunch the game just lags like crazy making the game essentially unplayable.

I've been trying to leverage chatGPT to help sort out the issue and troubleshoot but also not just blindly following any instructions given from chatGPT. From yesterday's troubleshooting chatGPT parsed through some debug logging (using Lutris to play games) and it was identified that apparently my kernel version has "known issues & regressions with AMD GPU's / drivers". This could absolutely just be an AI hallucination but I do see a bit of chatter online about AMD GPU's and kernel compatibility issues on various websites & social media. Apparently, the logging from my gameplay specifically called out an error displaying: "AMDGPU broken kernel detected. Enabling manual memory clearing path."

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 which seems to be using 6.12.10 for the current kernel and I was able to boot with "oldkernel-config" which bumped me back to 6.9.3 or something like that but the problem unfortunately still was happening.

ChatGPT was suggesting 6.6.X to be a good idea / option to try that kernel specifically but I wasn't exactly sure on how to roll back to that specific version so still working on sorting that out.

But my overall question and reason for posting here is I am wondering is any of all what's mentioned here even making sense at all, or is it dumb to think my kernel version is having compatibility issues with my GPU? What I don't want to have happen is for me to think my issue will eventually just go away one day whenever this kernel incompatibility issue is resolved when that's not even the issue in the first place.

Some details about my machine:

• System76 Desktop (Thelio)

• Pop!_OS 22.04

• Current Kernel: 6.12.10-76061203-generic

• GPU: AMD Radeon 7600

Hello everyone, need assistance with running GTA Vice City Definitive Edition on Linux Mint from Epic store. I have successfully ran games like Crysis 1, COD, Dead Island 2 on Mint so far. For GTA VC I have tried launching it via Heroic and Lutris, what happens it takes me to Rockstar Launcher (once I login), then it just takes me to R. Launcher screen to buy the game. Please assist on how to launch the game.

Thanks
