Depending on where you look, Linux on the desktop has somewhere between 4-6% user share on the desktop. Showing it's growing slowly by steadily overall.

(running 5600g with 6600xt hellhound using bazzite exclusively in game mode)

Frame time was perfect at 16.7ms, wanted a little bit more performance and I flipped a switch on my GPU from silent to OC, since then my frame times have been jumping between 16.2 to 17.2, Even after switching back to the silent profile.

Happens on the simplest game even that the lowest resolution and settings.

In game V-Sync and system fps cap both enabled And every combination in between tried.

I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for real now. I know my way around it decently, nothing crazy advanced but I can install stuff, mess with terminal, etc.

I want something that’s good for: gaming, streaming, maybe run some Windows apps with Bottles

Main thing is I want a desktop environment (like KDE or something that looks smooth/minimal) for regular use and gaming, but I also want to be able to switch to Hyperland when I’m just working or wanna mess around.

My specs:

Ryzen 7, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, SSD

Distros I’ve looked at:

Bazzite (KDE + Hyperland) looks 🔥 and seems built for gaming

Nobara, kinda like Bazzite but maybe easier?

EndeavourOS, I like that it’s Arch-based but not sure if it’s too much setup

Anyone using Bazzite + Hyperland? Stable?

Is it better to have both DE + WM or just pick one?

OBS + NVENC on Wayland still good?

Yesterday while I was playing Zomboid with a friend my session kept freezing and I had to hard reset my system... It got so annoying after more than ten times even when only just opening the game to the point i quitted for the night. I added a swap partition and that partially fixed cuz now my system freezes but not forever.

Now I'm trying to join my friend's server and then the game randomly puts steam online and offline. I will give log output details once i boot up my computer again, for now I'll just go to sleep.

I'm having an issue where I can play a few minutes whitout touble, but after that period the joystick doesn't respond. I've tryed Xbox-S joysticks (my main joystick), an old 360 joystick and generic ones, all of them whit the same issue. Also, I've tryed the same joystick on Windows whitout trouble. Firmware is updated and trouble happens on wireless and cable. Heavy and light games. On Steam and GOG games.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600, 32gb RAM and AMD 6300 4GB GPU

Hello!

Is there any difference in game performance between CachyOS/Nobara/Pika/Pop! (and other "game distros") and a regular fresh distro (Mint/Debian/Ubuntu)?

Thanks for the answers!

I think I've tried most possible solutions that I've managed to come across, but has anyone else had issues launching tf2 lately? The game was working without issue up until at least last week or so. If I use the default native Linux runtime it doesn't launch after the "play team fortress 2/OpenGL" popup selection. If I use proton, the game launches but I can't connect to the servers.

Things I've tried: - reinstalled TF2 - reinstalled steam - a bunch of different launch options from protondb - verified file integrity

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi,I have recently purchased a Palit gamerock RTX 5090 and have installed cachyOS today,I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 240hz and to avoid burn in I turn off the display whilst it's downloading stuff after a re install since I do those often, sadly ,and I have been encountering this issue across every Nvidia GPU I have owned since 2022,the system will not display anything after I come back and turn the display back on,I am using KDE Wayland and have disabled all options that make the pc turn itself off or go to sleep,same settings I had across my full AMD systems, be it a 7900xt,7900xtx,9070xt,7700xt&7800xt. I have had these issues on GPUs ranging from a 3080 to a 5090 since 2022 I have searched for potential fixes on Google but with the search engine becoming awful and unusable even with the Reddit prefix,I'm unable to find anything that's exactly like my situation or any fix,I've even asked for assistance in the cachyos server when I last had an Nvidia GPU which was in 2024 with a 4090 but alas , nothing.

These are my system specs:

R7 9800X3D 64GB 6400MT/s ram X670E-A 16TB in nvme SSDs 1500w PSU Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 240hz if it matters

I have not added anything to the system after installing it,so I'm not sure what else to provide since driver or open or closed kernel module does not seem to matter.

Hello, I've been plagued with this issue, have no idea how to fix!

Used proton-GE 10.10, proton-GE 9.27, Steam proton 9.0.4, all to no avail. Increased iGPU VRAM size to 2GB, tried running in Xwayland, in a native X11 session, on Hyprland, on Sway, no change...

Running on Arch Linux, NVIDIA open driver 575.64.03. All packages up to date. System (pacman) installed steam.

My CLI args to get to this are: mangohud prime-run gamemoderun %command%. I'm at my wit's end, so any help would be much appreciated! This is the only game that I'd like to play which exhibits such problems, everything else runs perfectly fine! Many thanks :)

Hi, I'm new here, please don't slaughter me. In these last days, I've seen some videos about Steam Gaming mode and how neatly organized and more console-like you can turn your PC or Handheld. I've heard that an amd GPU is adviced when doing the switch to Linux but I have a 4070 Super (paired with a 7 7700) and I fear I might run into some issues... Should I do the switch with my rig? If yes, which distro should I use for my use case? I was thinking about Bazzite or CachyOS. Thanks in advance

Ok, my problem is, i started playing Elden Ring in Lutris, and noticed my FPS was around 45 fps on max settings, this was ok, although i thought my hardware was very capable of achieving at least 60 fps (RX 5600 XT + Xeon E5 2680 V4). Then i started changing the quality settings, and noticed the problem, my FPS was around 45 FPS for ALL quality settings, from low to maximum. I then suspected that it wasn't my hardware's fault, i considered CPU bottleneck, considering i use a old XEON, but i saw that there weren't any cores on 100%, but all of them were being equally underused.

I then tried fixing it. I tested using other versions of wine on Lutris, tested in heroic with different versions of wineGE/protonGE, tested enabling "above 4G decoding" and "resize bar" on my bios, tried updating the Mesa drivers (25.1.5 to 25.1.6, hence the two different screenshots), tried uninstalling amdvlk (with wasn't even installed, i am using RADV), tried using the following launch arguments and enviroment variables

VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv %command% radv_zero_vram=false

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json

None of these worked, i know this case is super specific, but maybe someone know how to help me, i use ubuntu, my specs and the manguhud screenshots are below

Obs: Gamemode is installed and enabled in both Heroic and Lutris, i do not have an integrated GPU, my Xeon Hyperthreading is disabled, the game is installed in a ext4 SSD, i don't get any explicit error codes when running/opening the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit 1: I enabled Hyperthreading again, the FPS stayed the same, only the processor usage went down (all cores on 23% instead of all cores on 45%), maybe it is an power limit thing?, my power mode on ubuntu is set to performance though.

It happens usually on loading screens or after a match ends. Normally it's not that usual, but today I had it happen 4 or 5 times, one of them during a game.

I'm new at Linux and I'm a bit lost here, I've read that I should provide logs but I don't know where to find those.

Note: I have asked a similar question in other subreddits, but this is the only one I can actually share a video example of this issue.

I'm having issues getting 3D Groove games to work properly in lutris...

Weirdly enough, I can get the game to run, but it always launches at 640x480 on fullscreen, and I can't start the game because of it.

Normally, you could alt + tab and change the resolution on computer, but I can't do it in a way that changes the game resolution because I'm using wine/lutris to run it.

I don't know what the custom launch arguments are for Lutris that can force the game to launch at full resolution as my screen, so if anyone could provide answers, it would be greatly appreciated.
