So, I've always thought about jumping from windows to Linux for security and efficiency but I always left it apart because of gaming, gaming here has always been not only hard but unfriendly and not that beneficial, until now.

I would like to hear some people that used it on pc share their opinions on steamOS before doing the jump, is there anything relevant I should know before? I play league, honkai, Minecraft and a bunch of other games, I name these games specifically because they're not steam related.

So weird thing happens, only when I load DoD: Source. Ill open the game with steam on my primary monitor, but when I open DoD:S it shuts off my primary monitor, which goes black, moves everything to my second monitor and boots the game on there. Sometimes it doesn't boot and crashes. Anyone else have this happen to any other game or have a fix? I'm running linux mint 22.1, NVIDIA 1050ti, NVIDIA proprietary drivers.

Hello bois! Basically what the title says.

While playing games or running multiple applications sometimes I can hear a weird crackling/static noise that most of the times can only be heard by me, sooometimes OBS can capture it (specially when I'm gaming and I alt tab while streaming) but most of the time it's just me,

I used Linux Mint cinnamon since version 20, updated as the releases came out, maybe it's a pipewire issue? Linux mint had pulseaudio and now pipewire

Worth mentioning, I have a Ryzen 5 CPU (ryzen 5 4500) And a 1660 GTX normal version from EVGA
16 GB of RAM DDR4

This happens specially while playing Risk of Rain 2 or alt tabbing when I'm opening a lot of programs at the same time

I wish I could bring you some evidence but no matter what when I record it with every screen recorder I have, I did got some footage recorded with my phone, but it's not the same issue (that seems to be a new issue on itself btw, no audio at all while playing lol)

Any ideas I will be glad! I really like the simplicity of Linux Mint and I know EndeavourOS offers cinnamon with arch but I don't like using the terminal even to install one minuscule thing, I really like my graphical UIs so I hope I don't have to change distro, was about to give Bazzite a go but it's KDE and I'm not yet prepared for it lol

Any ideas bois?

Thank you!

I installed ModOrganizer to run with proton on Steam. But for several reasons I want to be able to run it without Steam. Running script as below works fine, but the program is low res. This usually happens when it's using XWayland instead of Wayland. When running the program through Steam I do get correct resolution. Are the some environment variables I have to set for proton? If anyone have had similar problem, appreciate any help on this.

#!/bin/bash PROTON_DIR="$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 9.0 (Beta)" MO2_PATH="$HOME/mod-organizer-2-skyrimspecialedition/modorganizer2/ModOrganizer.exe" export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830" export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME/.steam/steam" "$PROTON_DIR/proton" run "$MO2_PATH"

I'm using Proton 9. Arch Linux.

I've tried so many distributions, a few mesa versions etc. Any game that has to process Vulkan shaders using the RADV vulkan drivers locks up my system. It doesn't matter what distribution it is or if it's X11 or Wayland etc.. You know what does work? AMDVLK! RADV works just fine on games that don't need to process shaders or process them ahead of time. It happens even on emulators that have to process vulkan shaders.

I'm beginning to think it has something to do with my specific GPU. I know it's been out for a little over a year. I have no idea and ready to give up and go back to Windows. I've wasted so much time trying so many distributions.

I'm trying to set CAS sharpness for New Vegas in Heoric:

1. I have installed vkbasalt via apt

2. I have added a vkBasalt.conf file in /etc/:

effects = cas

toggleKey = Home

enableOnLaunch = True

casSharpness = 0.4

1. I have added a ENABLE_VKBASALT = 1 environment variable to Heroic

When I run New Vegas and tap the Home key, I don't see any difference.

Hallo. Meine Frau spielt quasi nur auf der switch. Ich auf meinem Towers der aber schon recht alt ist und auf dem ich letzte Woche linux mint cinnamon installiert habe. Ich habe sowohl die Java wie auch die Windows bedruckt Edition. Auf der switch gibt es nur die bedrock.

Wie können wir zusammen spielen? Braucht es dafür einen Server?

Hi, I'm currently in the process of transitioning to Arch because I was fed up with Windows. However, I haven't ever used (any) Linux as a primary system so I'm a bit stumped about some things - this is one of those.

I'm using Hyprland (because, well, pretty) on an Nvidia card. I've followed the Nvidia guide on Hyprland and checked everything is running with the Arch wiki guide on video acceleration.

From what I can tell, everything seems to be running just fine - streaming 1080p in YT does not significantly increase CPU load, so that checks out.

Vesktop, however, is a different story. It keeps all CPU cores at around 30% constantly (with Vesktop closed, I'm idling at ~2%). That's more than my baseline CPU load with FF, Discord and a bunch of other stuff open on Windows!

So since updating last week or the week before to mesa 25 I have been having multiple issues with games using proton freezing at launch other games work fine.

Plague Tale Innocence, Assassins Creed 2 , RE4 (original) , Assassins Creed Unity Freezes when loading after menus

Other games e.g Far Cry 2 works and gets into game using dxvk

I have tried reinstalling vulkan-intel and with and without vulkan-extra-layers vulkan-validation-layers

I also tried adding split lock disable environment variables to grub as it was showing in steam logs split_lock_mitigate=0
but after further testing it doesn't seem to help

I have also tried different kernels and ensuring I am using the latest steam beta client

Is it possible to remove windows and partition all my storage on the stock SDD to Bazzite? I have my Rog Ally X dual boot Bazzite/ Windows, however I play zero windows games, but I'm out of storage on the Bazzite side. I'd rather not swap the SSD if I don't have to.

The combination of lutris, wine, and AMD gpu is pain-free. I haven't had to deal with any of the DLL problems. Nvidia, on the other hand, is a never-ending chase of trying to figure out the correct version of c++ and direct x runtimes.
