CONSCRIPT from Jordan Mochi/ Catchweight Studio and publisher Team17 is a promising looking first world war survival-horror that was crowdfunded back in 2020. Now the developer has cancelled the planned Linux and macOS versions.

I am buying an HP Z2 SFF G9 to run Linux for my daily driver and some light gaming. I know I could build my own but I don't have time/patience and I want the exact dimensions/size of this HP SFF case.

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&catEntryId=3074457345620313318&urlLangId=&quantity=1

The only thing I want to get pre-installed from HP is the CPU and PSU. I will upgrade the RAM, add disk, and a GPU myself. I will get the 550 W PSU.

I don't have a budget per-se and am okay to get the most expensive CPU they have -- the Intel® Core™ i9-13900K -- but I don't know enough about CPUs to know if it's actually good and worth getting. If I can save some money for a CPU that's equally good, then why not.

HP's GPU prices are high so I'll get my own GPU. Probably an AMD GPU cause it's better with Linux gaming, right? What GPU would be good?

This is how I've configured it so far:

• HP Z2 Small Form Factor Base Unit - 550 W
• Intel® Core™ i9-13900K Processor (3.0 GHz, up to 5.8 GHz w/Boost, 36 MB cache, 24 core, 125W) + Intel® UHD Graphics 770
• 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR5-4800 UDIMM Memory (I'll upgrade myself)
• No OS; I'll install Kubuntu
• 9.5mm DVD-Writer 1st Optical Disc Drive

Hi, just a quick check if I'm crazy or if something is broken on my end but I just spent some time testing the 550.69 driver after being on 535 for a long time. I have a 4070 Ti and I'm running it on a dual monitor setup with a 120 Hz 1440p display (so no VRR possible for now) - this is a combination that sometimes requires some delicate tweaking to get a good compromise between graphical bells and whistles and consistent 60 or 120 fps. In most DLSS-supported games I haven't had any issues on Linux, but Cyberpunk 2077 remains one of the only games where I definitely do see some issues compared to when I used Windows half a year ago and I couldn't really find any good combination of settings that would give me at least some nice RT effects. So this was the obvious game to test.

So, today I wanted to see if the newer driver helps (and indeed it does a little bit). But I still noticed that the DLSS fps gain was not quite as substantial as I would expect, there were some minor stuttering issues and turning on RT still tanked performance. In addition, as other people have already reported here, Cyberpunk (still!) seems to have some odd visual glitches with DLSS where LOD transitions would show up as black artifacts every now and then which was quite distracting.

So as a last resort I switched from DLSS to FSR 2.1 and I'm not sure if I'm crazy or not, but both visual quality (no artefacts!) and performance seemed to much more consistent, even with RT on. I do notice some slight degradation in terms of aliasing compared to DLSS, but the overall smoothness and image quality looks actually better to me. I think it's a better overall experience.

Thanks to FSR 2.1 I finally settled on 1440p, mostly High to Ultra settings, RT reflections on and RT lighting to Ultra and I'm getting nice and consistent 60 fps and it looks quite amazing without any obvious artifacts. Now, if I could also get frame generation, I would be pretty much where I was in terms of the experience back on Windows.

Did anybody here notice the same improvement when switching from DLSS to FSR? Or do you have any other tips for running the latest version of Cyberpunk on Nvidia?

Hello, I know this is an old and stupid question. I am a noob to Linux I have used Ubuntu 22 Virtual Machine for Apache Web Dev. I plan to buy a Laptop and I read that AMD GPUs are more Open Source and has less issues on Linux compared to NVidia in this old post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/OQSQPHAjtX. I plan to install Arch Linux as a distro for the GUI I am not sure yet. Have you guys tested out any new games with NVidia gpus on Linux like Baldur's Gate 3, Ghost of Tsushima or old games like Cyberpunk, Elden Ring , Apex Legends, Sea of Thieves. I would like to read your experiences with AMD or NVidia gpus. Thanks!

Framework, the popular maker of customizable, modular and upgradable laptops has announced a big upgrade for the Framework Laptop 13 across both Intel and AMD models.

In TF2, CS2, and some other games that i don't remember. I have stutters that are like 1-2 secs. Can switching to Linux fix or lessen these stutters?

Minami Lane from Doot / Blibloop released with Native Linux support back in February, and the developer just released a major update adding in controller support.

Entering Early Access on Steam back in March, Athena Crisis clearly takes inspiration from the classic Advance Wars and now the code has been made open source.

Never a dull day on Steam, with there now being a game where all you do is just click a picture of a Banana. Yes, that's it and over 30,000 people are playing it right now.

Valve fans sure are passionate and they're once again trying to get Valve's attention to sort out various problems in Team Fortress 2.

Capes has been released. The blurb:
"Superheroes clash in this turn based strategy game. Recruit, train, and deploy your team in order to take back the city from the villains that hold it hostage."

Mixed reviews on Steam but at least it's native.
