Does the distro matter?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 7:29am

Hi I want to switch from Windows to linux fully the only thing holding me back is gaming.

I already have fedora as dual boot and I am very unhappy with it because my Audio just doesn't work and I cam't figure it out.

Does the distro matter if I am comfrtable with the terminal?

Are there aome distros which are just better for gaming and or nvidia cards than others?

I wanted to try Arch with gnome but i am not sure for gaming.

Also i will need to redownload all my games in steam right?

SDR brightness slider and HDR gaming KDE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 6:25am

Im playing Silent Hill 2 remake on Cachy os with an RX 7900xt on an LG 27GS95QE. Im using the launch command :

DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope game-performance -f -W 2560 -H 1440 --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor --hdr-debug-force-output -- %command%

This gives me what looks like proper HDR. What confuses me is that the sdr brightness slider that is sitting at 275 has an effect on my HDR content. It goes up to 600 nits but maxxing this out makes my HDR look really bright. Could be because this is within gamescope? Should i ignore?

Ubuntu server 24.04 ATM 10 Minecraft server error messages

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 6:13am

I recently set up a Minecraft server on Ubuntu 24.04 but am running into issues when loading chunks. Here’s what I did:

  1. Installed Ubuntu 24.04.
  2. Created a new directory and navigated into it.
  3. Downloaded the Server mod pack ATM 10 from Forge’s website.
  4. Ran startserver.sh.

Everything seems to start correctly, and I can join the world without any issues. However, when I fly around and start loading new chunks, I get the following error messages in the server console:

just after joining the server https://mclo.gs/z4JHMdJ

start up and what errors i get when i fly around the world log https://mclo.gs/JljgLdt

Did I miss any necessary setup steps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm getting this error only on Steam Deck, but not Windows. A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 4:53am

While playing Modded Minecraft I've been experiencing crashes at certain points. It's only happening when I have a specific mod installed, but only on Steam Deck; it works fine in Windows. Because of this the author of the mod, thinks that my Graphics Drive is out of date. Here's a link to the issue discussion: https://github.com/Qendolin/better-clouds/issues/192

I updated my Steam Deck which is supposed to update the drivers, but it's still happening, so is Steam Deck not updating my graphics drivers and is there a way to tell?

I read in another thread in this subreddit that it's from using the wrong Java version. It's crashing while using Java 21.0.3 (I'm using Prism Launcher and the Minecraft version is 1.21.5). Here's the crash log: https://mclo.gs/yJov1FT

CS2 is running with very low FPS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 1:52am

I have about 80 FPS on CS2 on linux, while having 250-300 on Windows. Here is what I have - Arch Linux with KDE Plasma running on Wayland.
- Ryzen 7 5800x3D - RX 7650xt

here is all the Launch options I tried

SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command% +fps_max 0 -vulkan -nojoy -novid -high I am playing on a 144 Hz 1440p monitor, I also have a 60Hz 4k on the side.

I would want to ditch Windows entirely, but because of this issue, I have to keep the my dual boot setup.

CS2 DX11 vs Vulkan

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 1:20am

The reason I even did this is because I don't really see people talk about it much Or even do benchmarks too often So I'm doing this to bring back some light on the subject GPU: GTX 1650 4Gb CPU: Intel Core i5 10400f RAM: 16Gb DDR4 ///////////////////////////// My main PC runs Fedora 41 KDE and one of the reasons I switched is because I heard that CS2 has native support Littles did I know it was poorly optimized in terms of it's vulkan implementation which is a real shame since I really do enjoy it I took a few screenshots of how bad and annoyingly unoptimized it is And yes I took these on Win11 on My brother's PC (we share the same specs) But the Vulkan performance is basically the same on my PC last time I checked DX11 on High around 72~ FPS meanwhile on Low 180~ FPS Vulkan on High is around 40-60~ FPS Meanwhile on low it's about 60-80~ FPS There's a lot of graphical glitches and bugs Real shame that a game like CS is having this :(

Steam window (occasionally) interfering with mouse inputs when behind target window.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2025 - 1:10am

Using KDE Plasma 6.3.3 on Arch Linux kernel 6.13.8-arch1-1.

For a while now I've had an issue where my mouse clicks do not register in a window if the steam window is open behind the window I'm trying to interact with. The inputs typically get passed through whatever window I'm trying to interact with and instead interact with the steam client. It does not happen consistently, does but happen regularly I'm trying to click something in a firefox window that is in front of the steam client.

Due to it being pretty sporadic, I've not had any luck trying to figure out what exactly causes it to happen, but it has happened for a long period of time now over many KDE and Steam updates and versions.

Dx12 vs Vulkan overhead in Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 Apr 2025 - 10:10pm

Might be a silly question, but I couldn't find any info on this, any idea if games that have vulkan as an option have less overhead from the translation layer since vulkan isn't being translated to something else? I'm sure there's plenty of windows calls being translated still, but I was curious if games that let you play with vulkan have less overhead. If a game offers both, should I use Vulkan or DX12?
