I've found out that people can install the arch based steam os on any handheld or pc now via steam's steamdeck recovery image. I wonder if games that work on steam deck (like infinity nikki, strinova) but not on any linux pc actually works on a pc with the steam deck steamos now.

I don't know if it was the update of Plasma to 6.3.4 or what but HDR is working without Gamescope or a Wayland session. Before, the colors would look washed after enabling the HDR toggle in game but now it seems to be mapping it correctly now.

The games I have tested so far have been The Last of Us Part 2, Proton Experimental, and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, CachyOS-Proton. I will test some more when I get home today from work.

Launch options are

DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=AD100 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%

By the way, I am on CachyOS, RTX 4090, Asus PG32UCDM monitor using the displayport.

I noticed in the changelog for Plasma that there was some cursor related VRR fixes too. VRR has never really worked well on Plasma with my system. The refresh rate would erratically change and moving the cursor was the only thing that would stabilize it. Hopefully, that is fixed.

Okay, so like the title says, I am really interested in moving from windows to Linux. I mostly game, but I do use my pc for web browsing, school and those things as well. I know a little about Linux, but I am still unsure about making the switch.

Mainly, is it worth it? And what will I encounter?

I have an asus x870-i and amd system with a 9070. I like to run low settings and adjust my gpu for quiet and low heat operations (undervolt and low power settings).

Anyone have any advice? Guidance?

Appreciated!

American Truck Simulator: DLC "Missouri" released https://playingtux.com/articles/american-truck-simulator-dlc-missouri-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Hi,

I have been a Windows user and used ThrottleStop often, to undervolt and to limit the clock frequency of Intel CPU cores. On Linux, it was a bit difficult as I found it. It was not so difficult for AMD CPUs but a bit roundabout for Intel CUPs. After a bit of searching, I found out about undervolt, a tool to undervolt Intel CPU on Linux. I have been using it on i5-11400H for some time and really liked it. I was able to undervolt to a much lesser extent than what I had on Windows with ThrottleStop, but nonetheless I could now undervolt and reduce the CPU temps.

Installing 'undervolt' was a not a very easy experience for me. I had to install Python3 to get it working, which kind of seemed a bit unintuitive to me. As I had a bit of an understanding of Golang I thought that maybe porting it to Golang might not be a bad idea. So I started working on it. With the help of my knowledge and AI's reasoning capabilities (uhm...uhm..), I was able to port 'undervolt' to Golang.

As of now, undervolt-go has the following features:

• No dependencies are required. Just a 3-4 MB file.
• Ready made install and update scripts.
• Set voltage offset for Core, Cache, GPU, Analogio, Uncore
• Set power limits (P1 and P2) along with corresponding time window, and lock power limit
• Set temperature target for when on AC and on Battery
• Enable/Disable Intel Turbo
• Read existing values

I have tested voltage offset for Core and Cache, power limit. Its working good.

Let me know what you guys think. Also, if you love it, do star on GitHub.

Sometimes developers put up blog posts talking about developing their game, but it's not every day you read about how they had to deal with earthquakes, cockroaches and broken bones. And yet, Clumsy Bear Studio still managed to get the Hungry Horrors demo out on Steam.

I'm trying to help a buddy run the game, but I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone can give me some pointers?
We both run an up to date Manjaro with the 6.6 LTS kernel and KDE with xwayland. He has a 1080Ti with the proprietary nvidia drivers and a threadripper 1950x, I have a 7900 XT with a 7950X

In my case all I had to do was enable proton and the game just runs on the experimental/hotfix branch.

In his case the best we achieved was by adding the PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 launch option, easy anti cheat starts and the game crashes before the intro video.

• steam overlay is disabled
• installing the easy anti cheat proton runtime in steam didn't help
  • on a side note I dont have it and it works
• proton GE didn't help
• looking at protonDB what options others are running, adding these launch options didn't help
  • SteamDeck=1
  • PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1

Here are two proton logs from the crash, bit too big for pastebin... , but the only error I see is the "Epic Games\\EOS" related one which I'm guessing can be safely ignored.

• This one is with no launch options
• This one is with the WINED3D option that helped us so far
