Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on adding NVENC encoding support for NVIDIA VAAPI: https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/pull/425

While debugging an issue on Discord’s side, I stumbled upon something interesting. It looks like Discord actually supports hardware-accelerated screen sharing using NVENC, and it has for a while.

With a small tweak to the original file, I managed to get it working.

If you want to try it, replace the file at: `~/.config/discord/0.0.128/modules/discord_voice/index.js`

Modified file: https://pastebin.com/SyMkwgnv

If you're using something like NixOS, don't forget to run it this way
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/run/opengl-driver/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}" discord

Hello everyone. I’m wanting to try Linux and I’m looking for recommendations. It’s just for gaming, and I’ll list my specs below

Ryzen 7 3700x CPU

3070 GPU

Just tryna do something different. This is my secondary PC so it won’t be a daily driver but I do wanna get to know Linux a bit.

I’m leaning towards Mint, but wondering what other gamers prefer? Thanks!

Do you guys tweak anything on your system or just use it as it comes? Im planning to ditch mint and install debian and i was wondering what stuff can be done to improve gaming performance or performance in general.
Any suggestions?

It Has My Face is a unique idea that sort of blends Hitman with hide and seek, as you try to hunt down and kill your clone before they get you.

Title. MW2019 went on a steep sale recently and I've been interested in playing it again. I've seen from a few posts like 5-4 years ago saying it didn't work under proton, but has any headway been made in that since then? Or is it another one of those problems where kernel anticheat makes it impossible to do so?

Hello all, I was wondering whether linux nvidia drivers have implemented offloading vram to ram if it gets full. Last time I heard, they still haven't worked on it bc fuck nvidia

Or is there another method to offloading vram some place else because whenever my vram gets maxed out, the entire game crashes

I hope there is somone or someway for running hypervisor games on kinux without dangers and huge perf hit. Seeing all these new games makes me tempted to again download that abomination of an OS
