Valve have released a new release candidate build for the Windows compatibility layer Proton, with Proton 10.0-3 available for users to test.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I have a HPZ420 with 32GB RAM and a Xeon E5-1650. I'm going to pair it with a GTX 1060 that a friend has spare, and see if I can turn what most what call scrap, into a gaming rig.

I may document this for a video, but I need a bit of advice.

- How's gog and epic support these days?

- What is the best distro to use - I'm leaning towards Ubuntu because I've always liked it.

KInd regards

looking to switch to Linux, I am looking for a console like experience to mainly control with control pad, is Bazzite the only option? or can the ui be added to any distro?

(apologies if this is a stupid question but I have not tried Linux in a very long time and never for gaming)

thanks

Hello,

Is it normal for my integrated graphics to be listed as GPU1 and not GPU0 on Mangohud? I read that GPU0 is supposed to be integrated graphics while GPU1 is the dedicated GPU.

I occasionally play war thunder, but I don't know if I can on Linux. Like, ik I can create a full windows emulator, but then I have to allocate CPU cores and memory, and since I have a relatively meh performance laptop, I need it to be running at the maximum possible performance.

How can I run wt on my laptop?

There are apparently a number of PC gamers looking to move away from Windows as Microsoft ends support for Win10. Many of these gamers are apparently looking to move to Linux. Nvidia currently has a greater than 90% share in the GPU market but their GPUs don't play well with Linux. Can we expect more ganers to buy AMD GPUs as they migrate to Linux to get better GPU performance and support?

With Battlefield 6 dropping in a few hours, I wanted to send a little announcement to those who dualboot and have intention of playing it.

You are required to enable SecureBoot in your bios. Doing so will break your Linux install, but this can be done in Linux and takes less than 5 minutes to get it enabled and working without breaking your boot process for Linux Bazzite supports SecureBoot without doing a thing, CachyOS instructions can be found https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/

It's pretty much the same with Arch but check out the wiki for your distro and have fun tomorrow, soldiers.

It's a shame EA changed their Anti Cheat breaking our ability to play recent releases. So if you dualboot and plan on playing BF6 , this will get you on the field.

I'm planning on building a gaming rig with an R5 7800x3d and an RX 9070 XT. The issue is that the CPU also has integrated AMD graphics on-board. How does linux handle this? I currently have a laptop with an Intel iGPU and a Nvidia dGPU, and it's kind of a nightmare so I just disable the iGPU entirely.

If anyone also has a similar setup, does an AMD/AMD gpu combination fare better? Which GPU will my display server use by default? Which one will games use? All of my displays will be connected directly to my dedicated GPU.

I switched from windows to nobara almost 3 months ago, ive become more comfortable with the OS and such, but recently i bought an rx 9060 xt and noticed it performed... very badly, compared to benchmarks online

Initially i thought it was just CPU bottleneck, but i just tested the same games on the same hardware on windows, and the performance is better, like, waaaaaay better (all the games are Gold or Platinum on ProtonDB)

As far as i know i have everything updated (latest kernel, latest mesa drivers) on my system, what could be causing my gpu to not work like it should

When configuring a game in Lutris, in the System Settings tab, there's a "CLI Mode" option. When enabled, the executable will launch within a Linux terminal.I use it specifically to run Escape From Tarkovs SPT mod "server" component, which doesn't work properly when simply run normally through Wine.

However, in recent months I've been trying to make a switch away from Lutris, and instead gather all my non-Steam games in Heroic (nothing against Lutris, I just use Heroic way more). Does anyone know a method of having Heroic emulate the "CLI Mode" that Lutris offers? Even if it's an external solution like a bash script that runs the .exe in my terminal, which I can set as the executable in Heroic. Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas.

I downloaded CatchyOS today, i was previously on windows 10.

When i was on windows 10 i could play for example overwatch 2 with 120fps consistently. Now on cachy i get really low fps, the audio freaks out and i get input delays. I think it's because of the graphics in some way but I've tried to lower it everywhere i could but my graphics still look fenomenal, not just on a game, but when I'm just chilling on steam not playing anything the graphics are still good as hell and my pc is dying from it (i think).

I'm the most computer illiterate person you can find even though I'm 19. If anybody knows how I can lower the graphics or what else the problem may be, please let me know because my computer is close to unusable as of now.

My discord is Equaldime if anybody want to add me there so you can explain it over a call if that makes it easier. I've done everything I could find online but it's still terrible. Any help is appreciated, I just want to be able to use my pc like normal.

Im Swedish so im in the centeral european time zone in case andynody adds me on dc while im sleeping

Hi all!

I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but all I find are posts complaining about laggy games, but I have the opposite issue.

I switched to Linux recently. My games run at a smooth 60 fps on Steam, but the OS slows down and gets really laggy, despite running smoothly when no game is launched. This makes it really hard to alt-tab to read guides or check Discord, for example.

My specs:

• AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB
• 16GB of RAM
• Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon 6.4.8
• Using the latest Nvidia driver

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!

The game is called "A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad", basically Getting Over It mixed with Space Cadet Pinball. The demo launched a few days ago and I would love to get feedback from more Linux users!

Hope you enjoy the game!

Why I said this because I remembered around 2012 or so when I was started linux it was a very small market share mainly because no programs and good alternatives really work on Linux especially gaming itself so it was nearly impossible to switch. I remembered watching videos like Spatry cup of linux and dixie (I don't remember the channel name) played a good role in linux back then. so it was a wild ride around 10s and early 20s. so when I say Linux is turning into chrome, I mean its going to rock it up there soon like the browser wars like with chrome did. YouTubers like Pewdiepie and several others already choosing linux now which is a good step and there recommending linux also!

never give up hope! the OS Revolution is starting! :)

I've installed a windows game to the "C drive" using steam to load the setup.exe.

I can see the game when I use winetricks and I can browse its directories and files from the winetricks window. I can load the game this way too just fine.

How do I find the folder in dolphin explorer? I'd like to be able to change the setup.exe in Steam to the actual game executable. I assumed it'd be in ./wine in my home directory but it isn't there. I've also looked in the steam directory but it's not there either, just the games I've installed from my Steam library.

Any ideas?
