My pc has a 5080, 7800x3d, 32 gb of ram, and 2 2tb nvme ssd's. I've been thinking about dual booting linux for gaming for a while now but I'm not very knowledgeable on it yet. I have a 4k oled so it absolutely must support hdr as well as hdr mods like renodx which requires reshade. I am quite tech savvy but I would like a decently easy distro, what do you guys recommend?

Its updated kind of daily and works the best for me on most games. Where do I see the changelog?

Yesterday I bought Death stranding 2 to enjoy it on my setup. My specs are the following

• Minisforum BD795M with AMD 7945HX
• AMD 9070XT
• BenQ GW2470 as main monitor (1080p SDR)
• LG C1 as monitor for gaming (2160p HDR10+ 120Hz TV)

When I opened the game to play it, I couldn't enable HDR in the settings menu. After a bit of research in ProtonDB I found the parameter DXVK_HDR=1 which allows me to enable HDR in the game, but the colors look washed out, like trying to watch an HDR movie on an SDR screen without tone maping.

Can anyone help me to configure my setup and have HDR?

Thank you in advance.

Just asking out of curiosity. It's been reported that the game doesn't support Intel Arc on Windows.

However from my simple understand of the Linux graphics stack, both AMD and Intel use mesa and pretty much the same code. And Crimson Desert runs on Proton with AMD and Nvidia. Does it work on Intel Arc too then with Proton?

Bottles: Version 63.0 released https://playingtux.com/articles/bottles-version-630-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

I see around a 30-50 fps hit in the games I used to play on windows compared to linux.. I don't know what causes this? I'm also using amd so I don't think driver version will cause this much of a performance hit..

I'm running unsupported games on linux via proton.. (example: kovaaks)

distro I'm using: Linux mint cinnamon.

Specs

Ryzen 5 5625u

16gb ram

Is there anyway to fix the performance hit? I genuinely like how lighweight linux is (although I've installed it few hours ago) the fps problem is the only thing bothering me other than anything else.

Any helps will be appreciated!

First of all, I have zero issues with bazzite. I been maining it since October of last year and it runs perfectly.

I spent a week or so over at openrgb discord and with their help got all rgb working.

I am looking to replace bazzite with another OS, gaming oriented that takes the current age verification bullshit seriously and doesn't put up with any of that shit.

I am kinda sad to see the main developer of bazzite downplaying current events and making fun of people raising concerns over it on discord.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thank you ☺️🙏

Hello,

I recently purchased a brand new 8bitdo Ultimate 2 wireless controller due to it supposedly working & fully bindable on SteamOS.

Following some instructions from the 8bitdo customer support, I was able to get it working & fully bindable via d-input on Windows 10. However, I have now transitioned over to my primary Linux Mint desktop.

It is still fully functional as evtest in terminal is reacting whenever the additional bumpers & paddles are pressed. Steam's controller binding menu even correctly recognizes it as an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 controller with the correct diagram & labeling.

Despite this, I'm unable to bind the extra bumpers, paddles, or gyro. Is there something funky with Linux Mint preventing this? Is there a hidden Steam setting that I have disabled?

I bought catalyst like a week ago and it's been great for me even with the annoying EA App, but 6 hours into the game it stopped working entirely, crashing after about 20 seconds.

so what i did:

1. switch the proton version to experimental and wait for the installation to execute, it should not give any errors, the game will crash

2. copy the prefix somewhere on your drive

3. switch the proton version to 8.0-5, make the prefix again do not wait for the installation, just close the damn thing

4. rm the prefix entirely

5. copy the one that you backed up earlier

6. change the "version" and "config_info" files so they do not state the version as experimental

7. try to start the game again, the prefix should not update in any way, nothing should happen, the game will just crash, this is because the EA Desktop symlink is broken.

8. fix the darn symlink:

rm /compatdata/1233570/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/EA Desktop?

and link ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/*whatever version you've got here*/EA Desktop to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/EA Desktop

and you should be good to go

terminal commands that i did:

cp -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570_exp_backup rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570 cp -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570_exp_backup ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570 sed -i 's|Proton - Experimental|Proton 8.0|g' ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/config_info echo "8.0-5" > ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/version rm -rf "/home/gimmeyoursmile/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/EA Desktop?" ln -s "/home/gimmeyoursmile/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/13.667.1.6173/EA Desktop" \ "/home/gimmeyoursmile/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1233570/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/EA Desktop" submitted by /u/gimmeyoursmile

Hello guy,

I have been using linux for almost 4 years now and i found a huge problem with performance in Cities Skylines (The original, not the new Cities Skylines 2).

Windows : 60 FPS on an empty map without mod and with full DLC enable
Linux : 20/25 FPS MAX with proton or proton GE without mod and with full DLC enable

After two hours of playing on linux : 5/10 FPS + huge latency in input.
I have try restart and everything : nothing help.

I need to report the performance problem to what project ? Wine ? Proton ? Proton GE ?

Specs :
Ryzen 5 3600
48GB RAM
AMD 6600 XT

Why is it like this? I use 6800xt and cashyos
