Im using windows 11 right now and i want to know if its worth switching to linux.

Right now i like how zorin os how its looking but i dont think is the best for gaming , the next distro is nobara thats quite good at gaming and the last one is cachyos which i think is the best but at the same time hard to learn.

I tried cachyos before but couldnt run 2 cracked games, even when changing proton versions.

I want to know on which distro i can run lossless scaling and alternatives to msi afterburner,also i need someway to run cru software because my monitor somehow isnt set good and my gpu is drawing 20w idle without setting it.

Also why does linux use less ram than windows on gaming ? .

Cant i just boot the linux directly without pressing anything, i want to boot fast like windows?.

My specs are ryzen 3600x , rx 5600 xt , 16gb ram , 1tb m2 nvme.

v550 up until today was the (recommended) on my Linux Mint Driver Manager for GPU. One of the auto-update packages in Update Manager was for something to do with v550 i noticed in its title and didn't think anything of it.
Now my recommended is v535. I can also revert to v580 but neither work for gaming (rocket league in particular), where v550 worked great. I now get the typical white pixelated squares in regions and 2 FPS as per software/driver mismatches.

v550 is also no longer an option as a driver and 'sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550' points to v580.

Is there a way to make v535 or v580 work?

There was a kernel update alongside the v550 package update, so am I also right to be hesitant in just uninstalling that v550 package in hopes of reverting?

GPU -> 1080ti
CPU -> 2700x

I upgraded Arch yesterday, since then BattleNet is no longer launching. Launching the games directly is working fine. I'm using Faugus Launcher but also tried different methods like using Steam directly with no success.

Reinstalling BattleNet gives me Error BLZBNTBTS0000005C. BattleNet itself has multiple errors in the log for example:
network_sandbox.cc(302)] Failed to grant sandbox access to cache directory
gpu_process_host.cc(990)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=-1073741784

It seems like there is an issue with BattleNet's CEF (Chrome Embedded Framework) which needs some 32bit libs to run. I suspect the upgrade of mesa could be the cause for that.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do?

I'm out of ideas and I disabled the shader compilation.

I dual boot with windows and in that other OS I dont have that problem so I guess its not hardware related.

Do you know how can I solve this? Thank you.

After a system update on CachyOS with Plasma 6.4.5 Wayland and kernel 6.17.4 zen2 I started having three problems First the system monitor widget in the main menu stopped displaying values correctly it only refreshes if I change its display mode and set it back to text only Second the screenshot tool Spectacle stopped working completely I cannot take area or window captures either by shortcut or by manual selection only full screen capture works The xdg desktop portal KDE service runs but no screenshot request appears on dbus monitor and Spectacle shows only QThreadStorage errors in the terminal Third in mostly Source engine games mouse focus is lost when I click the window making it impossible to control the camera unless I launch the game through gamescope The NVIDIA drivers are loaded with a signature warning and secure boot is disabled I am using an RTX 2070 Super with the proprietary driver version 580 95 05 The desktop is Plasma on Wayland with kwin wayland wr The xdg desktop portal services are active and there are no obvious journal errors All of these problems appeared immediately after a full system upgrade via sudo pacman Syu

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run Warhammer 40k: Darktide on Linux with my AMD RX 480 and I'm running into persistent graphical artifacts and stuttering. The game runs fine on Windows on the same machine, so I suspect this is a Linux driver or Vulkan/Proton issue.
For disclosure, I'm using chatgpt to troubleshoot and this post was also written by it 'cause english isn't my first language.

System details:

• OS: Kubuntu 23.10 (up-to-date)
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 (Polaris10)
• Drivers: Mesa 25.2.3, RADV + ACO backend
• Proton version: Experimental
• Vulkan ICDs: /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json
• Environment variables used for testing:VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json RADV_PERFTEST=aco DXVK_ASYNC=0 gamemoderun mangohud %command%

Symptoms:

• Game launches successfully, GPU load is correct
• OpenGL renderer: AMD Radeon RX 480 Graphics (radeonsi, polaris10, ACO, DRM 3.64, 6.17.0-5-generic)
• Vulkan info shows RADV POLARIS10 as GPU 0
• Persistent graphical artifacts (weird shading, see attached video)
• Stuttering/framerate inconsistencies even with DXVK_ASYNC=0

What I've tried:

• Forcing DX12 via Proton environment variables
• Switching ACO / LLVM backends (RADV_PERFTEST=aco vs LLVM)
• Clearing DXVK shader cache
• Reinstalling mesa-vulkan-drivers (amd64 + i386) and libvulkan
• Verifying GPU nodes (/dev/dri/) and amdgpu module loaded

Notes:

• The warning terminator_CreateInstance: Received return code -3 from libvulkan_dzn.so appears, but RADV is correctly recognized and used
• On Windows, the game runs perfectly on the same GPU

https://reddit.com/link/1odbb09/video/es1sskjzkowf1/player

Has anyone experienced similar issues with Polaris10 on RADV and DX12 games? Are there known workarounds to reduce artifacts or stuttering for DX12 titles like Darktide?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey so i am a game developer and I use Unity Game Engine daily at my work. Unity has by far the best support for VR game development (i think).

With the rumored release of the "Steam Frame" - a Linux-based (SteamOS) VR headset, we might finally see some real momentum for VR gaming and VR development on Linux.

However, the development side still has major gaps. While the Unity Editor runs on Linux and works quite well, the official OpenXR plugin doesn't support Linux at all. Many third-party SDKs (Meta, HTC) not only lack Linux support but can even break the editor entirely with compile errors.

What can you do to help?

• Submit an Idea on the Unity Roadmap: https://unity.com/roadmap#unity-platform-ar-vr suggesting a OpenXR support for Linux.
• Discuss on Unity Forums: https://discussions.unity.com/t/linux-support-with-openxr/916945/20
• Vote for this issue on Meta Core SDK
  • https://developers.meta.com/horizon/feedback/vr/investigations/24298562499813560/
  • https://developers.meta.com/horizon/feedback/vr/investigations/25168645556071591/

What do you think, will the release of the "Steam Frame" push this forward? How to make companies like Meta or Unity care about linux? I would love to switch to linux, all my games work there no problem. But due to this issue, i have to dual boot windows.

It works like 5% of the time the rest of the time ots pretty much unusable. Im on cachyos with gnome and tried basically everything i found on reddit and im out of ideas

From short demo level graphic programming, my understanding of HDR is colors are not normalized to 0-1.

Left unchecked this would produce lots of white, so a post-processor would eventual normalize them before final output, using some algorithm.

My question is, what's meant by HDR support on OS / X level?

I have admittedly only tried two PC games so far.

One was Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot with the "DBZK_Fix" mod which unlocks the FPS cap and allows non-standard aspect ratios, like 16:10.

It is consistently ~15-20% worse than on Windows.

Cyberpunk 2077 is more weird.

So on Windows, I can do an undervolt (-18 Curve Optimizer) on my CPU, and a massive OC (+200 Core, +1600 Memory) on my GPU.

I don't know how to do this on Linux.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux (remember, no OCing) seems to match my OCed Windows performance... unless I use Frame Gen. In Windows, Frame Gen doubles it for me. In Linux, it's only about 10-20 more FPS, when the standard is ~50-55 for ALL RT options maxed and DLSS on Quality.

My GPU driver is set to Wayland, not sure if that matters.

edit: the state

hello there how are you ?
so i want to nuke windows and completely switch to nobaraOS(KDE) but there is a few issues i wanna know if it been resolved

how is VRR support ?

how is HDMI 2.1 support ?

does is support 10 bit color depth now ?

how is HDR status ? last thing i remember i could turn it on but with no controller support
