I am currently running Bazzite OS on my m.2 SSD, set the bios to have it boot up into that instead of Windows 11 on my other m.2 ssd. Everything is fine and dandy until I decide to shut down the pc. Regardless if I use the regular shut down method via the gui or use a command line. I will get logged out, both monitors will stop receiving singles. However, the PC itself will stay on. (Fans will still spin, the lights are on, etc). I can manually shut it down via holding down the power button. I have tried different bashes in the terminal, in some cases it will shut down perfectly. I started it back up, play some games, go shit it down and it’s back to square one.

Note: I am running an Nvidia gpu and a AMD Ryzen cpu. I do have secure boot disabled when I was trying out dual booting.

I encounter weird dips in Steam downloads which are only present on Linux. Download is 100% stable but sometimes it can drop sharply like this.

AI said it’s throttled because disk writing sped dropped. I’m wondering did disk and cpu cause this or it was just the internet stability that caused this drop in both writing graph and speed graph?

Re: Is Discord just terrible on Linux?

After seeing some generally unhelpful replies in this thread, I've decided to make a post outlining how I've gotten discord screen sharing and video playback to work well on an Nvidia 3080ti. Like the OP, I was disappointed in both the official discord app and vesktop for screensharing, for different reasons.

I think it is beneficial for this to be a separate post so that it comes up in search results for others having the same issues with Nvidia GPUs and Wayland DEs specifically.

This will be written from the perspective of Arch/CachyOS/KDE, however, the same packages and arguments can be implemented on any distro (probably).

• First, you need discord canary. The stable branch of discord does not support native wayland with Nvidia GPUs.

• To get discord to launch as native wayland, you must add ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland to either your env or to the beginning of the command that launches discord. I personally just put it in /etc/environment.

• Next you need the elFarto nvidia-vaapi-driver. This should be preinstalled as a part of the cachyOS gaming packages for nvidia, the package is called libva-nvidia-driver in the cachyos-extras-v3 repo, other distros might have it labelled differently.

• To launch discord, I have a discord.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ with the following body:

[Desktop Entry] Name=Discord StartupWMClass=discord-canary Comment=All-in-one voice and text chat for gamers that's free, secure, and works on both your desktop and phone. GenericName=Internet Messenger Exec=/usr/bin/discord-canary --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks Icon=discord-canary Type=Application Categories=Network;InstantMessaging; Path=/usr/bin

• In the same directory, I have a discord-canary.desktop file. The reason this is necessary is because the way discord sends push notifications, without this file, you will not have notification badges on the icon. It is just:

[Desktop Entry] NoDisplay=True

This fixes hardware acceleration, mp4 video playback, streaming with application audio, and badge notifications. Your streams will be encoded with the GPU so no more 100% CPU usage while streaming, and audio works as well.

The only problems with this setup exist with Discord on linux in general. No application-specific audio, and only can capture pulse audio (usually a non-issue. proton uses pulse audio, but Haruna media player, for example, you must change it to output through pulse).

For me, the tradeoff of having to share all audio is completely worth the substantial increase in stream quality over Vesktop and proper GPU hardware acceleration (which both fixes embedded video playback AND doesnt fuck up my CPUs whole day when I stream).

My GPU is a RTX 3070. I'm like halfway through the original PC version of Mass Effect 3 on Steam, it has ran perfectly until now.

The game has decided to just not use my GPU anymore. I can tell because the game runs terribly in general - it's only using the CPU. I think it might be using software rendering for whatever reason and I don't know how to stop it from doing so.

I had to originally install physx to get it working the first time before, now that does nothing even after a fresh install.

I did update to the 590 drivers the other day, but I tried rolling back to no avail.

It complains about the hardware not being supported and in the config tool, it shows it as having only 119mb of memory and its masked as an AMD 6700XT: image

This games uses Proton Experimental by default, other versions don't work because of the stupid EA App, which tried to ruin my playthrough before with the stupid license problem.

Trying to unmask the GPU with PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 prevents the game from working at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this?

Hi, i just got an idea of trying to play league on linux by emulating MacOS or just to use Darling. Im currently not using Linux coz i can't play league on it, but today when i was playing TFT on my MacBook Air 2014 i just realised that i don't have vanguard and its still working.
So maybr anyone of you guys what to try this? Maybe it will work? Or maybe any of you have tried it already?

It's fixed when I enable hardware decelerated in web view, but steam usually wont open with that's enabled. My PC is all AMD.

I created this project because I was getting back into playing DayZ on Linux again and wanted a better launcher. Since I want learn a new language(Golang) I decided to build it using that. This is a personal project; for the most part, I used "vibe coding", I builded it just for the fun of it and to learn what I needed to, so I have no intention of continuing to maintain it, as it already does everything I want.

I am sharing this simply because it might be useful to someone else (or maybe not). I have only tested it on CachyOS (my current OS), but I did create other installation options (deb, rpm, zip, PKGBUILD) which I didn't tested.

Greetings. Recently I've been moving my games to my linux partition more and more, and I've faced an issue I didnt expect to face. My free disk space differentiate too much from app im checking it in. My file system has 787 gigs of space initially. And disk utility says, that I have 343 gigs of free space.

https://preview.redd.it/3h7eios4alzg1.png?width=895&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f2ef5210ce99e2f95a0f026a76c8e2a97d65084

I've wanted to install baldurs gate 3 and play it, and noticed, that steam reports my free space as 266 gigs.

https://preview.redd.it/nv7ocupaalzg1.png?width=541&format=png&auto=webp&s=f238394669951b4b38c411be97e08768a6766b88

Weird, I've googled and found out, that ext4 have some kind of reserved space for root, which is 5% by default, okay, 5% of 787 should equal to 40 gigs of memory reserved. Its quite large and I would want to reduce it, since, well, Im already ditching 16 gigs for swap partition. But even then - 40 + 16 = 56, and still - 343(reported amount of free space by "disks" app) - 56(swap + ext4) != 266, its equal to 287, roughly 20 gigs less. After some more reading - I decided to run df -h, here is results

https://preview.redd.it/z4kk3ofyblzg1.png?width=779&format=png&auto=webp&s=deeb7493fd7ecfd52b5fc69a4782e1e9f6634c55

It it reports correct 284 gigs of free space - difference of 3 gigs for those 2 tmpfs files.
So, question still stands - where have I lost 20 gigs? And also - what is a safe value for ext4 reserve? Because I would like some of those 40 gigs for myself, since swap is not loaded most of the time.
I also ran qdirstat program, for measure, and it reports correct 400 of taken space.

https://preview.redd.it/c24647uhclzg1.png?width=816&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc9f1d70f26e36426933102eafce5c3b9eb283c9

So 4 different programs give me 3 different numbers for my memory. Please tell me if Im correct in my assumptions about ext4 and swap, and where have I miscalculated 20 gigs.

Estoy pensando seriamente en pasarme a Linux, tengo una Asus TUF F16, pero solo cuenta con 8Gb de ram, tengo en mente tener una distribución para mis trabajos, ya que uso Autocad y Word etc, pero también quiero empezar en Linux porque consume menos recursos, ¿alguna recomendación?

At the moment i use reshade to capture a .jxl which works great-ish,

im wondering if there is a way to get KDR (Fedora 44 KDE) to take a HDR screenshot. Currently it can capture jxl and jxr but they seem to still be in SDR space and not HDR.

Just to report a good Linux win in peripherical support.

I have a Bosgame eGPU with a 7600XT and it lags a lot until freezing completely on Windows even on normal desktop usage.

On Fedora 44, OoT, normal usage is fine but when I start any game, in 5-10mins it freezes the game itself.

However, with all-ways-egpu (and it is a very straightforward solution), everything is working without a hitch.

On Windows 11, I can't even try anything on Adrenaline because it freezes right before opening. None of the proposed solutions worked and the system refuses to work with the eGPU at all.. Unplugging the eGPU unfreezes everything.

Overwatch keeps recompiling shaders every time I restart the game. I've tried various Proton versions including Proton Experimental (bleeding edge) and several launch options like PROTON_LOCAL_SHADER_CACHE=1 and __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1, but none of them seem to have any effect.
