So here is the deal, I was setting up a low end Linux gaming machine with one of those random brand rx580 cards. This burnt itself out and I replaced it, bit after doing some research I found out that some of these random brand as well as name brand cards don't have proper fan curves in the firmware. Linux defaults to hardware fan control and once the os loads, the fans never kick on. Windows drivers default to software control and everything works peachy. I just wanted to know if anyone else encountered this or has a recommendation of brand or model with a proper vbios that works on its own?

Hi, my setup is a nvidia laptop plugged to two monitors through displayport. One is 240hz, the other is 165hz.

I have to use the dGPU mode to get a somewhat acceptable framerate when docked.

In Wayland, even though I'm using the dGPU mode, I will get noticeable fps drops when using the desktop (KDE) moving the cursor around , browsing through the web or moving windows will drop the fps from 240fps to around 100fps for no reason. The stutter is very noticeable.

In X11, I can't get mixed refresh rates to work. Kwin is stuck at the lowest monitor refresh rate (165hz) no matter what. Unless I disable the compositor, but that introduces tearing and takes the good visual experience away. The only solution to this is disabling the compositor and enabling Force Full Composition Pipeline in Nvidia settings, but this introduces a performance hit. I also lose modern features like multi-monitor fractional scaling and HDR.

Windows seems to do this all fine. Fractional scaling, mixed refresh rates, HDR... but I really want to use Linux.

Has anyone in a similar situation found a solution? I've been thinking on buying a new laptop just for Linux.

The B570 and B580 look tempting, but I want to know how the performance is compared to AMD. I have no plans to use Nvidia. Should I worry more about VRAM capacity or the number of PCIe lanes (x8 vs x16)? I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 with kernel 6.14 which supposedly supports the B580. I'm also using the R5 5600G with a B550 motherboard and no dedicated GPU at the moment. (I plan on getting a new PSU at the same time.)

Hey everyone,

Currently I am using a MacBook Pro running Ubuntu, and it isn’t working as well as I want or need.

Everything is so *expensive* but I think it’s time to buy a new computer.

While I have never assemble one by myself, I am kind stupid, I am not totally opposed to it. I was looking at system76, and I wonder what is the community consensus.

I just feel lost due to prices and my inability to build stuff, and would appreciate any clarity on what I should and could do.

Thanks!!!

This has been probably posted many times before, but I can't really find a fix to this. I've read about thousands of posts in different forums and many READMEs of tools that claim to fix this problem as well. What do you guys use to solve this problem? I'm on Arch 6.18.7 + GNOME 49.

So I had vortex installed and working for the last 4 months through lutris. I had modded skyrim, Fallout 3 and oblivion with collections and everything was working fine and basically zero issues. Today I updated vortex though the automatic updates prompt (I had done this before and everything was working) and vortex broke and I got a message stating that the installation was corrupted. I reinstalled vortex and used a new prefix (I use separate prefixes for every windows application) and reinstalled the dependencies, vortex didnt launch. Then I used the older prefix still didnt launch and so after a lot of trying by looking at the internet and chat gpt I am unable to get vortex to launch and work. Plz help me as I am losing the ability to mod videogames and also my saves.

I am using Linux mint and using lutris to run windows applications.
Also I assume its not a lutris issue.

anybody here knows how well, or if at all, the hybrid graphics work with linux on the lenovo loq and loq e series? I got a loq e, and i want to be running linux on it, but im not sure with the nice hybrid graphics thingamabob it has will work with linux, as per say, it has two gpus, one in the core i5 it has, and a dedicated 3050, which can be turned on and off by the user, or by the laptop itself if it feels theres no need it should be used

does anybody know?

Hello everyone! I recently installed Nobara Linux on my pc, because I want to try gaming on Linux.

I chose Nobara since it has NVIDIA drivers included, because I have the RTX 4060, and I've heard that installing NVIDIA drivers in Linux systems is not easy. It's been working great so far, I tried Forza Horizon 5, RDR2 (story mode) and Rocket League, all these worked out of the box and it felt like the performance was even better than Windows!

But when I launched GTA V Enhanced, it loads into story mode just fine, but when joining online which now requires BattlEye Anti Cheat, it kicks me out of the session. I read about this on multiple places and saw very different results, from people saying it works after moving BattlEye to the game installation folder, to others saying it just won't work... it got me a bit confused. I checked the game on ProtonDB website, it says that it "Runs perfectly after tweaks", but the tweaks suggested on the website by the users are also quite different and I don't know which one I should try first. I'm somewhat new to linux, and I don't wanna mess up my system trying to get the game to work. I still have Windows installed on my second drive, so I can play GTA there, but I just wanna know if it can work on Linux or not.
