Hi all. I'm trying to run Cyberpunk on my Dell Precision using Heroic.

When I start up Cyberpunk, it starts up, but it just shows a black screen. I can hear audio working.

I found similar issues from other people

Setup is as follows:

• Fedora 41 (can't upgrade because no CUDA repo for Fedora 42 yet)
• Nvidia driver 570.133.20 from Nvidia's CUDA repository (575.51.03 causes issues)
• Kernel version 6.14.6-200.fc41.x86_64
• Running on Wayland using sway, usually playing Steam games works without issues.
• Display is connected to iGPU, game should be running on Nvidia GPU (based on memory allocations shown by `nvidia-smi`, it is indeed running on the Nvidia card)

Anyone here knows how to work around this?

I will preface this but saying I'm completely new to Linux gaming, and still a Linux noob overall. I took a class on college and used Mint over 10 years ago as a bit of a experiment. I also had a Steam Deck for a bit, but that's really it. Forgive me if I say something that is well known, or easy to figure out but I'm just seeing what things could look like.

I have a PC that I use in my living room solely for gaming, and it is all AMD based. I'm interested in deeping my toes into Linux based gaming, so I'm seeing what my options are mostly for OS. I'm curious if SteamOS is possible to use on a desktop machine, or if I'd be better served going back to something like Mint that I have some familiarity with. As this machine is solely for gaming, SteamOS does seem very appealing as it's very user friendly but I don't know what the state of this is for desktops. I know more PC handhelds are starting to use it, but I don't know how well that's translates.

I'm currently running a 5800 non X and 7800XT; I heard driver support on Linux is better with AMD so should I be pretty well set in that regard for driver support?

Thank you in advance any advice and tips.

shapez 2 was already good and now the huge Dimension Update is out now, it looks like it's going to suck away plenty more hours of your time.

right now the people playing on linux is too little but i think it will increase over the years, so i've been wondering if this turns into a thorn in MS side is there a way they can shut down linux gaming?

I’m using CachyOS rn but I’m having issues out of some random flickering in Dead by Daylight (the main game I’m playing right now). I want seamless gameplay with it but I’m unsure what distro would be best, or what tweaks I could make to fix my existing Cachy build. It doesn’t really matter to me if it’s Arch based or not… I’ve looked into Pop OS and Bazzite. Which would you recommend I check out first? Thanks!

Hello, for past year since I switched to Linux I tried to make Modrinth launcher for Minecraft run in normal framerate. It's very glitchy and I don't understand how to fix it. When I launch Minecraft from this launcher it works fine. I have same problem for AppImage, AUR and Flatpak
I use Arch with KDE Plasma 6(Wayland), Core i5 - 10500h, RTX 3060 Laptop 6Gb Vram and 32Gb of RAM.
P.S. Sorry for my severe grammar issues

Did you actually build the package from source? I’m on Linux mint 22.1 and the whole process is becoming a huge PITA, I’m slowly falling into dependency hell. I’m comfortable enough with building manually but the dependency list is huge, and I’m not totally comfortable with unofficial PPAs.

Hi, I've maid a post here two months ago, but it died out and I couldn't fix the issue. Basically, I'm using Fedora 42 idea spin (issue was already present in 41) and steam won't open unless I run sudo systemctl stop firewalld Only this window appears, though the icon still appears on system tray. I've tried opening ports and making rich rules but none of that worked (it is possible I did that wrong, though I wouldn't know). I've done multiple reinstalls and even tried the flatpak version. I am really stumped. Here's a link to my other post so you could see what I have tried previously. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1jp1iw6/steam_does_not_open_fedora_41_kde_spin/ Also sorry for the formatting, I'm on mobile.

Was following a tutorial on youtube for installing CM on linux but ended up with this. Someone else had a similar issue a week ago but no one responded to that post. I read something about color profiles but that seems stupid and isn't likely to work on linux.

Hi

So I am tinkering with Diablo 4 settings to find the "best" settings for the game that gives me high framerate

What I am talking about is lowering down settings that is either way to heavy and or unnoticeable on a small screen like the deck

Also considering like, you know, what massive changes is there in framerate from high to ultra compared to the visual fidelity you get... of course the deck cannot get to high OR ultra but the same thinking going from low to medium... like is it worth it ?

My absolutely minimum framerate is 45 and I have have got this with my own settings while using FSR2 quality and with a lot of mops and effects

I am also using ProtonGE 10.4

I have noticed some stuttering... is there any launch options I need to set ?

ok that is it

thanks

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking about switching from Windows 11 to a Linux-based gaming distro like Nobara.

However my main concern is that I'm running an NVIDIA GPU and based on benchmarks that I've seen AMD cards generally offer better support and performance on Linux

Here are some quick specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080S
• RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz
• Monitor: 1440p 170Hz
• Games I play: Everything from Triple A story driven Games to Competitive Online Games (CS, Rivals,...)

My questions are:

1. How much of a performance hit should I realistically expect when switching to Linux with an NVIDIA card compared to staying on Windows 11?
2. Is the experience stable and polished enough for daily gaming with NVIDIA drivers (proprietary or open)?
3. Are there any specific tweaks or tools on Linux that help mitigate NVIDIA-related issues?

I'm already using Linux for my Uni laptop so I'm already comfortable when it comes to Linux I'm asking this purely out of a Performance concern

I bought a chromebook back in December and set up Linux so I could play Minecraft. Went through all the steps in this tutorial and it was working fine. I set up Linux, enabled Crostini GPU, etc. Now months later, I tried opening the launcher but the icon stays loading forever and never opens. Then I tried uninstalling the launcher but that wasn't working either. I couldn't find a reason why it was no longer working, so I ended up powerwashing my chromebook and starting the process all over again, but although I followed the same steps exactly, it opens an 'updating launcher' screen, that finishes, and then it is still not opening. Because that didn't work, I tried a different tutorial found here, but that didn't work either; it says this: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I also received this message on the terminal: To provide a more stable graphical user experience in Crostini, the GPU-based rendering driver (virgl) has been disabled by default for existing and new environments in ChromeOS version 131 and newer. OpenGL and OpenGLES applications will continue to function using a CPU-based rendering driver (swrast). If you would like to re-enable GPU-based rendering in an unsupported capacity, you may visit: chrome://flags#crostini-gpu-support in your Chrome browser and set the flag to "Enabled", then restart your device.

I'm not sure if that's relevant to the issue, but I don't understand why it was working perfectly fine back in December and now--nothing. Is this an issue with Linux or Crostini or Chromebook or Minecraft or the tutorial? Does anyone have any ideas of what else I could try? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, if there's a better subreddit for it, please let me know. Thank you :)
