Is there is a way to upgrade FSR3 to FSR4 in native title like we can do with proton ? My search on the subject didn't find anyone talking about that.

I quite like the idea behind immutable distros and already am using Silverblue on my laptop. So far the only downside I found is that installing certain things is obviously a bit more troublesome but nothing I couldnt deal with so far. Also without being able to use dnf I couldnt install additional codecs which made the preinstalled Firefox quite annoying to work with at times, but it didnt annoy me enough to look for a workaround, so probably that isnt as much of a problem too. Worst case I could just replace it by a Flaptak install of FF (which should come with the codecs missing in RPM Firefox).

Anyway, so far most problems I had where minor at worst. But how about gaming? Will there be any big issues with Kinoite (as I prefer Plasma DE for gaming)? I know Bazzite is based on Kinoite too, but I prefer pure Kinoite to keep bloatware at a minimum. All I need is Steam and ProtonGE anyway. Just wanted to hear some opinions or first hand experiences. Thanks in advance!

The Bazzite Fall Update has officially landed, bringing the Fedora-based gaming image up to Fedora 43. The release introduces expanded handheld device support, renewed Nvidia compatibility, and updated desktop environments, making this one of the most comprehensive refreshes for Linux gamers this year.

I'm running an older version of Windows 10 - a heavily modified version at that that I have configured for myself over the past eight years. I was so fed up with the unnecessarily aggressive Windows updates that I couldn't disable, I literally deleted the update driver and am stuck on version 1607.

It is wonderful. So good.

But, and this is where time is catching up to my rig, some more modern applications (particularly software released post-2023) have decided that my OS is too "outdated" and doesn't want it to run on my system :( Now as I stated before, this is a heavily modified Windows 10 - it's one-of-a-kind unique - and it still runs flawlessly and I have become attached to it. I really don't want to change systems (and I REFUSE to reinstall the update driver and update the damn thing to Windows 11 >:( inb4 that's what you tell me to do).

I've decided for my next PC, when the time comes to upgrade - and that won't be for quite some time as my gpu is still relevant and everything that is compatible with this system runs perfectly - that I will end up installing Devuan with either IceWM + PCManFM (it's what I'm used to for Linux at this point) or XFCE/KDE... the point is I'm going Devuan with some kind of already established GUI, and will likely just use WINE when I need it.

But for now, I just want to emulate an OS that *can* run the software I want to that the devs have barred me from doing so - mostly Unity 2023/Unity 6 games at this point. I've gone mostly open source anyway, and the majority of my software are windows ports of linux apps. but I digress...

I managed to get Ubuntu 20.04 to run perfectly on Oracle's Virtualbox 6.1.5 (VBox 7.0 is ironically one of the apps that refuses to cooperate with my OS) with IceWM and PCManFM as the GUI, since it's by far the most resource-friendly combo I could get (yes there are lighter Linux kernals than Ubuntu [the GUIs I'm using reduces a ton of RAM usage] but since VMs are a royal pain to use, I wanted the most common one, since I'll be using a lot of Youtube tutorials to get it working right.

Another digression - why wouldn't I just run Windows 11 on the VM? Well I tried. Now Windows 11 on top of Windows 10 used so much RAM, it was so slow I couldn't stand it, no games would work properly on it.

Anyway, while I got this Spartan Ubuntu to run applications perfectly on the VM, there's one major problem I didn't consider and that is I doesn't detect my NVIDIA gpu, meaning the games are getting less than 1 fps. I have no idea how go about solving this.

So TL;DR, my situation is the OPPOSITE of what most have going on; that is I'm trying to game on my Windows running a VM of Linux, rather than vice versa. How do I get my gpu to passthrough the vm and run games on it?

What other options do I have? I'm not ready to buy a new system, yet and I REFUSE to update my Windows 10. If I have to partition the hard drive, I will do that, but I would much, much rather just use a virtual machine.

Thank you in advanced. No it's not ragebait, it's very much a real situation lol

This started happening today and I wanted to see if it was just me or not. The option in the settings to disable hardware encoding has also disappeared. Opensuse Tumbleweed KDE Wayland w/ AMD GPU.

It appears that AMD is ending game specific driver updates for its Windows drivers for RDNA 1 & 2. How does this affect us if at all considering we have open source drivers ?

So I've used CachyOS (love it), Bazzite (both my ally x & desktop) far to locked down for my liking, Nobara (it's good) but the performance in most games sees bumps of small amounts but some games play like windows. Soooo I decided I'm going to see if I can run SteamOS on my desktop i5 11400F, 32gb 3200mhz, XFX 6700 10gb, 1tb ssd and I will say it installed and ran without a hitch, with some of the games the performance was slight less or about the same as other distros, now here is the kicker hogwarts & oblivion remastered both say not just a little jump in performance over windows and the other distros but massive jumps in performance.

So I guess I'm sticking with SteamOS for a long while now lol.

Hello all, I switched to Mint from windows a month or so ago and I’ve been loving it so far. However I’d previously only been playing some Minecraft and Europa Universalis because I was busy. Now that I’m trying to play more games like Crusader Kings and Kingdom Come Deliverance, the performance is basically unplayable.

I’m using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 with a 580 driver, and I made sure that the games are using that and not my integrated graphics. Is this just a problem with NVIDIA on Linux or am I doing something wrong? I’m super inexperienced with Linux but willing to learn.

I've installed gamescope but it looks like the only way to get it to recognize my monitor is HDR capable is by setting WLR_RENDERER=vulkan but this also means I can't launch anything. Have you guys had any more luck?

I’ve been looking to getting into gaming on Linux & this is my first build so I want to know if I have a good parts listing for a budget pc to game on? Are these parts good & compatible. Do any of these parts have back doors like intel cpus?

Hoje resolvi tentar jogar um novo jogo. Então baixei o instalador, escolhi um wine e instalei. O jogo funcionou de primeira. Daí eu resolvi tentar colocar na minha biblioteca do Heroic Launcher. Cliquei em add game, escolhi o mesmo instalador, coloquei o nome Racing MAster (com esse A maiúsculo de propósito, pois é assim que o jogo foi identificado), escolhi uma versão do Proton GE que eu já tinha. E tudo ocorreu com perfeição.

TLDR I am new to the linux community as I've only had it for a few days so please bare with me. I use CachyOS and this resolved the steam big picture lagging issue. Type that into your terminal.

gamescope -steam -f -w -h

4k:gamescope -steam -f -w 3840 -h 2160

1440p:gamescope -steam -f -w 2560 -h 1440

1080p:gamescope -steam -f -w 1920 -h 1080

720p:gamescope -steam -f -w 1280 -h 720

-f for fullscreen as it defaults to windowed

-w for width of the resolution you want to display examples being 1920 or 3840 or whatever you desire.

-h for the height of your resolution being 1080 or 2160 but whatever you desire gamescope -steam -f -w 3840 -h 2160 The command right above is what i use for fullscreen 4k big picture.

you can also add the -bigpicture argument so it starts into big picture mode by default, or just enable it in the steam settings to start up with big picture mode

Hello everyone. I had issues with Steam Big Picture being laggy when in full screen, and i have gpu acceleration on in the steam settings, i am relatively new to linux so i was looking around and nothing worked until someone mentioned gamescope flawlessly works and forces the gpu to work with Steam Big Picture so if anyone was looking for a solution to stop the lag on big picture, this is it. The reason i had to add in the resolution argument is it caps at 1080p i believe and tricks steam into thinking you are using a steam deck? Not sure. But i hope this helps anyone having this issue.

I'm trying to improve the sound for games like Arc Raiders. I really like how Steel Series Sonar has game specific presets, and I can adjust distance and immersion to hear footsteps better.

Is there something similar I can do on Linux with Easy Effects or another app?

Hi there!
I've been wanting to mod Baldur's Gate 3 outside of the in-game Mod Manager. I personally felt like a lot of the cosmetic mods I wanted are hosted on Nexus Mods and I wanted to give the Limo Mod Manager a try. I unfortunately feel like I'm having a bit of a difficult time understanding this, even with the tutorial that's provided on the Github wiki which seems to be mostly focused on Skyrim. I couldn't seem to find any video tutorials and the only posts I could find regarding this mod manager, is Skyrim-centric. The terminology seems to be confusing to me. Deployer, Staging directory, Hard link, Sym link, etc?

I was wondering if anyone else has used this mod manager to mod BG3 and how did they go about it? I know there's a BG3 Deployer in the Flatpak but I'm not sure how to go about it and I do feel admittedly stumped.

Thank you!

Was testing out Lossless Scaling on cachyos with doom 2016 on vulkan and wanted to compare without Lossless again but for some reason it stays either 144 or 72 FPS when full screen now (when putting doom into windowed mode I get 144+ fps) even though I removed lsfg-vk package and uninstalled it from steam is there a global vsync set for vulkan now somewhere I need to change?

openGL lets it go past 144fps in fullscreen

I have tried reinstalling the game and also an earlier snapshot still locked FPS

I am using a gtx 970

Kernel: Linux 6.17.5-2-cachyos

DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.1
