I want clean, non flat, background less icons that look polished. Closest I’ve come is a Win XP icon pack that had too many bells and whistles. I’m on plasma 6.

I’m sorry if this sound’s quite dumb but should Minecraft be running at 60 fps on a 4070 super or is it because I’ve done something I’m using prism launcher and an i7 12700k

Looking to get my son a very cheap laptop that is LinuxMint friendly and can run Minecraft Java with a reasonable set of mods (I know shaders, etc. might me too taxing).

Right now he's used to the performance of my old desktop i5-6600k w/ GTX970.

Any opinions on minimum specs I should look for / are possible in the sub-$150 price range? (Bonus pts for links to active deals).

Thanks!

I just got it working with Lutris! Works really well. Make sure to set Contact Shadows to Low for raytracing. I'm using a 4090.

I don't know if this the best way to it, but I'll explain how I did it.

Get Lutris. I used Lutris from the official Arch repos.

Install Ubisoft Connect via Lutris' option on the sidebar, login, and install Outlaws.

Now you need to replace the two dlls(d3d12.dll and d3d12core.dll) for vkd3d-proton for both x86 and x64

Since this patch is merged into the master branch, pull master

Pull master with git clone --recursive https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton

Change to the directory you just pulled with cd vkd3d-proton

Build in your current directory with ./package-release.sh master ./ --no-package

There's a new folder in your current folder called vkd3d-proton-master. Copy both dlls from the x86 and x64 folders into the respective Lutris folders for your chosen vkd3d-proton folders. For example, mine were in /home/YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY/.local/share/lutris/runtime/vkd3d/v2.12 with Lutris on Arch. I'm using the main Arch Lutris build, not a Flatpak if it exists.

Make sure to replace YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY with your home directory's name.

Should be playable now!

I can confirm this works flawlessly.

The only issue is this Nvidia feature RTXDI and Path Tracing - keep this off and you should be fine.

Honestly enjoying the game now, happy playing everyone interested!

Hey guys,

Yesterday I wrote a post here for which I got kind of rekt. It was all about bad textures in distances of games.

Background
I recently built a new computer and switched from a 1080Ti to a 4080-S.

Since then I have been relatively fussy about the graphics in games. To be honest, I was probably expecting a graphics explosion, as I just got a new GPU - and even one of the best on the market right now... I'm not so sure myself.

I played Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey and The Witcher 3 and I noticed that the textures in the distance look extremely watery and washed out (in my opinion). Simply not sharp. Screenshots: The Witcher 3, Assassins Creed Origins, Assassins Creed Odyssey

YES, I know, all the games are 6-9 years old. But I'll be honest, I was just surprised that the textures look like that. I never paid attention to it before and maybe it's just because of the new GPU now. I've tweaked the graphics a lot, but in the end it's just the games themselves that look like that as I play everything on max settings. And I always remembered that those games were THE games in terms of graphics and immersion when they came out (and I even played them myself and never noticed anything).

I honestly never intended to offend anyone. I just wanted to share my thoughts about that. I started playing games since I was 13 years old. So I now all the old graphics e.g. in Gothic and so on.

Like I said, I was probably most surprised at myself that I never used to pay attention to it - and since my new GPU I totally do.

I guess my own expectations changed dramatically.

(And honestly, the textures just look like shit too for nowadays standards)... :D

Steam is stuck on launching. This is subject to every game I have, they start but don't launch.
I am unable to verify the integrity of any of my games either. The process starts and then quickly freezes.

STEAM SETTINGS:

Running Steam in Compatibility Mode
Proton is installed and running 9.0.2
Each game properties have proton 9.0.2 selected as well

NVIDIA DRIVER INFO:

NVRM Version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 560.35.03

SYMPTOMS:

Steam doesn't usually start on the first try

WHAT I HAVE TRIED:

I have uninstalled and re-installed Steam
I confirmed I am running the following:
NVIDIA driver meta package from Nvidia-driver-560 (proprietary)
Uninstalled and re-installed the Nvidia Driver 560
Installed a different Nvidia Driver and saw no change
Ensured the 32-bit drivers were installed
Ensured Vulkans latest drivers were installed
I am running the latest updates
> (Ubuntu)

> (Snap)

Any help would be appreciated.

I need help with Sonic remasters in the form of modded Retro Engine remasters. I have Sonic CD Miracle Edition working from the decompile, but Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute don't work. They show a black screen when the mod-only version is used, and the Windows version of S1F is very unstable, and S2A again shows a black screen and this time even crashes after a few seconds. And that's not to mention Sonic Mania, which has Maniatic Launcher, but that won't load any save files or mods.

I recently came across some news about AMD rolling out performance improvements for Ryzen CPUs in the stable version of Windows 11, particularly focusing on branch prediction enhancements. According to the article, these updates seem to boost CPU performance quite significantly on Windows.

This got me wondering—are these branch prediction improvements also applicable to Linux? If so, how are they implemented or handled in the Linux kernel? Are there any specific updates or patches that have been released or are in the works for Linux users to benefit from these enhancements?

I would appreciate any insights or information on whether Linux users can expect to see similar performance gains and how the Linux kernel manages these kinds of CPU optimizations.

Thanks!
