Hello,

tl;dr: ZFS vs Btrfs vs BIOS RAID vs mdadm vs lvm for striped /home?

I am planning on using a 2x2TB SSD array strictly for game storage (a.k.a. /home) in stripe or JBOD mode (whichever is better for my use case). Which would be the better way to go, Btrfs or ZFS? Is there anything to be aware of, like TRIM issues or the like? Would AMD BIOS hardware RAID0, mdadm or lvm be a better option in any way?

Redundancy/backup/snapshot is not part of the equation, as no mission critical files will be stored at all, as I have a separate SSD for /

i use void btw

Thanks.

The epic retro-fuelled shooter Selaco managed to win an award as IndieDB crowned it their 2024 Indie of the Year and it seems overall the game has done really well on sales.

I am using Arch Linux and I barely know what I'm doing. I got a brand new AMD RX 6600, but it took me a week to figure out how to install the correct drivers and configure Xorg to be able get the X server working. It's working now, but most of my games will not start. All of my games are on Steam except Unigine Heaven Benchmark.

When I try to start a game, steam says that it is running, then one two things happen, the game starts into a black fullscreen, or it does nothing. Then the game shuts down. GPU utilization is very low, completely unaffected by the attempt to start a game.

There are exceptions, however: ultrakill runs perfectly fine, and so does MGS Master collection. Unigine Heaven Benchmark also runs, but has massive GPU stutters where the frames drop from 200 fps to 10 fps and back. The GPU utilization graph shows big dips at each of these points. All change in GPU utilization, whether up or down, is in very sharp spikes; there are no gradual ups or downs.

I thought the problem might be the graphics-intense games that I was trying to run, but it did the same thing for terraria. And for stellaris, it starts the paradox launcher, but crashes upon trying to run the game.

Additionally, the GPU is not getting recognized by btop, the resource monitor i usually use. I have had to look at coolercontrol for utilization graphs.

I tried a bunch of my games on Windows 10 (I dual boot), and everything works flawlessly there.

Let me know what logs or configuration files could help diagnose the problem. Any help is appreciated!

I'm running arch linux on kde with a 3060ti and on windows the memory clock while I'm gaming shows 7000mhz, while on linux it shows 6800mhz. One time though I saw that my gpu clock went up to 7000mhz but after a game restart it when back to 6800. Anybody experienced the same probem?

Hi linux gaming community!

Problem

This is not new, but I have been trying to figure out the cause of game stuttering in the past couple of days now. Basically the frame drops once every couple seconds when playing steam games (e.g. The Finals, Dota 2) after a couple of minutes of playing, and it remains stuttering consistently.

Background

I use vanilla arch KDE plasma, have DE X11 and wayland, kernel version 6.12.7-arch1-1 (64-bit), with GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, driver version 565.77 and GPU: Intel Raptor Lake-S UHD Graphics. CPU: 13th Gen Intel -9-13900HX 5.200GHz.

Attempts:

Downloaded lutris, LACT. Installed gamemode, mangohud and GOverlay. Tried cpupower frequency-set -g performance and proton experimental and enabled multilib. Increased vm.max_map_count to 2147483642. I have tried prime render offload as well from, archwiki prime.

Some Images when in games

Frame drop in Dota 2 with GOverlay and mangohud

top command with dota 2 opened

Top 3 were when the game was open. Bottom 2 were after quitting the game.

------------------------------------------

I hope I've provided a good amount of details. LET ME KNOW FOR MORE! I am a newbie to Linux and arch, but I enjoy it so far and really want to get the gaming part going. Any help is very much appreciated!

I'm installing fabric on Fedora 41, but when I click on the installer jar or run it through the terminal, no gui pops up and fabric isn't installed.

I have an 8BitDo Zero 2 controller i would like to use it for some games and for anki however although it can connect to Bluetooth it doesn't seem to be detected by any games or by button remapping software like AntiMicroX. Is there a way to fix this? (I'm on Linux Mint)

I'm having problems trying to play mgr through proton(the game doesn't start), and I wanted to know, can I use lutris to run the game with wine? Would that actually work?

My system info:

Fedora workstation

i5 4200U

intel HD4400

vulkan 1.0 (I know this version does not have full support, may be why I can't run this game)

Specs: Case: Nzxt H5 Flow Motherboard: Gigabyte B650m H PSU: Crossair 1250w full modular Liquid Coooler: Nzxt Kraken 240mm AIO CPU: AMD 9700x RAM: CROSSAIR VENGEANCE 2x16 5200mhz GPU: haven't decided yet between 7700xt or newer cheapest AMD card to be launched. OS: Bazzite

This was my first build ever, maybe made some mistakes but the idea is to have this as a start since i came from console gamming.

Parts that i am not sure that was a good choice thinking about price x longevity: motherboard, Cooler.

Ever since the Vanguard incident even playing TFT became a pain to run on Linux, so today I ended up writing a guide to make it as easy as possible to configure Waydroid and make TFT work great on it!

This is all because obviously running the native version is not possible anymore due to its anticheat, which affects TFT too for...some reason.

But the Android version works just fine, with some tweaks: I covered most points, from X11 support using Weston to customizing TFT's config file to make it look better. Any correction is obviously appreciated!

Hopefully it's gonna help new people to have a fully working TFT under 10 minutes :')

Basically, title. I've been using Discord Canary since it started to officially support Wayland streaming with audio and it updated from v550 to v552 today and now the feature has been removed and reverted to the way it was before. Just so everybody knows.
