Wow, haven't heard of this one for a while. Released back in 2016, Turmoil is a game about drilling for oil like it's 1899 and it has a new expansion available.

I was in the game, played, then decided to go to one application, a long time did not close the game and then returned to the game, the game lagged, the Steam interface does not appear when you press Shift + Tab, I restarted the game, and it says that already EA account on my Steam account is connected!

I am currently dailying an "ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506LI_FX". 16gb DDR4, i5-10300H, GTX 1650 ti/intel iGPU.

NOTE: I'm not trying to find a significant GPU upgrade, I'd be ok with "a little better" as long as it's *an* upgrade.

I really want a team red laptop and the Ryzen AI units look really enticing. The one comparison I could find between the 890m and 1650 ti said the nvidia GPU was barely 4% faster on average even though various stats on the 890m blew it out of the water. I'm sure the tests were done on windows, and I know AMD is bad about getting their drivers to squeeze full perf out of something til pretty far in the life cycle so that 4% follow could turn into a 15%+ lead down the road and I'm ok with that.

However, the fact those tests were almost assuredly done on windows means I have no idea what the comparison means for linux. Whats the state of AMD on linux as of September 2024? Whats the state of the Ryzen AI with the 890m in linux gaming? Would it be an upgrade at all? I ask specifically about the Ryzen AI because the lack of a dGPU coupled with the 5c cores *should* mean it's usable for lightweight tasks on battery as well, but that's not a requirement by any stretch - just a cool bonus if everything else works.

So the options I'm looking at are:

MSI Bravo 15 - 16gb DDR5, Ryzen 7 7840HS, and RX6550M for $650 USD

ASUS TUF A16 - 16gb DDR5, Ryzen 7 7735HS, and RX7700s just over $1,000 USD/"open box" ~$775 USD

Are there other options, or should I wait for the newly announced rx7800m to hit laptops in god knows how much time?

Lastly, I apologize if this is incoherent in any way, I've typed this up amidst a hellacious fever. I'm gonna hit post and when I get back from the DR if the post looks like chicken shit I'll delete it and wait til I'm not borderline delirious lol.

Linus Torvald's famous remark echoes through ongoing Linux gaming discussions but others are saying that Nvidia is much more friendly to Linux these days, so what's the current standing with the GPU market?

I'm coming up to building a new gaming PC and it will be my first to only have Linux on it. Choosing between the two manufacturers is already difficult as I'm deciding between affordability or DLSS, so need an up-to-date and futureproof understanding of the driver situation in digestible terms.

I installed Battle.Net, and created a folder outside of it for Battle.Net games. I linked that folder into the prefix for Battle.Net I installed.

I can launch battle net from steam provided I point to the setup file. If I try to change the exe to be the battle net launch in the prefix, it exits before the launcher even loads.

If I exit steam and run it from terminal so I can watch the logs, I get this error when trying to launch Battle Net launcher from the prefix.

gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Just keeping it pointed to the setup file works, and that's how I ended up using in the past as I didn't want to be bothered, but I'd like to get it setup right as I revisit the game.

Hello, so I made a post about which version of Windows OS I should get. And I seen others recommended me Linux. Meanwhile there one dude giving me details and advantages of Lunix

And also mentioned there are different distribution. when I looked up Linux website, they bunch of options and I want to figure out which distribution is right for me.

I even mentioned to the same guy that gives me details about Linux if there’s a distribution that has similar interface like MacOS meanwhile it has benefits for gaming, and potentially digital art/graphic design/vector graphics apps like Photoshop and Illustrator.

Hey guys, Ive been tinkering with Linux for a while and I know my way around a bit. Ive managed to install Bottles/Wine and trying to install Need for Speed Heat. The game has installed but when I try to launch it by the play button on the bottle, the cpu fan comes on but the game does not start. No startup screen at all.

Here's what Ive done:

• I gave bottles permission to use all system files by Flatseal - this was the only way I could get the game to install.

• I am using Wine-GE as the runner... Installation screen was displayed perfectly.

• I have the setup.exe files in my Downloads directory, and all paths for this bottle are set at default. I havent changed it.

• My system specs are weak... 8GB ram, i5 8265u Integrated 620 graphics. I know this is bad, but the game should start at least right? Ive seen people play forza horizon 5 on the same system. When I launch the game, the CPU is at approx. 20% load and the ram usage is 1.5 gb.

• I tried the bottles troubleshooting section but I couldnt figure it out.

I know Im probably a couple settings away from starting the game or moving some file/s or something. Im gonna try troubleshooting this for a bit cause Id like to learn more about Bottles. I will be try lutris if I exhausting all options cause Id like to learn about that as well.

Any ideas?

How do I set up a remote rendering farm? I thought of using VirtualGL but it is limited to OpenGL games only. So, I have a powerful computer using an RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU on Arch Linux, and my friend's computer has a Intel Haswell-ULT on Arch Linux. I was looking for a way where his computer could use my GPU remotely to render games, in a way where he can do it for all games. For his peace of mind, I also need it to be in a way where no matter what I do, I cannot see what is being rendered for his computer, nor be able to use his computer. I wouldn't check it anyway, but I don't want him to be uncomfortable. Is there an application that can already do this? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
