I've been using linux mint for a while and I didn't like that my laptop's ssd was split into 2 for some reason in which the other 100 became a removable drive for some reason and gaming was a hit or miss with some tinkering involved and I wanted to know which of the two is better for gaming?

I'm going to try and explain my issue best I can. I can provide any extra information or logs that may help find out why I can't get HDR working.

Basically seeking help from people with a similar stack to what I have listed in the title.

I'm running cachyos and tend to install games using bottles, I am not using Steam. I have no issue running most games and I'm confident in what's required to get things running on Linux in general.

The issue is that I cannot get any games to recognise my HDR display and therefore toggle HDR on.

HDR is toggled on in gnome 48 display settings and looks great.

I have tried launching games using both gamescope and gamescope-git which I installed from the cachyos repo. I have also tried using gamescope via flatpak. I've tried bottles and heroic launcher.

HDR works fine in windows so feel like I can probably rule out my display and AVR as the problem.

I'm at the point where I'm starting to think HDR/gamescope is broken or I just need to wait a few months for gamescope/driver fixes.

Info below (sorry about the formatting)

Runner: proton 9 26 DXVK: 2.6 VKD3D: 2.14.1

Launch command:

`ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 gamescope -f -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled -- flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run -p DaysGone -b 'ge-proton9-26'`

Some snippets below from logs that I think could be relevant. Can post full logs.

Personally, i have been running a ntfs sata ssd as my games storage for almost 3 years now, and i have never had any issue.
Steam finds the library both on windows and linux, i am able to install a game on linux, play it, then reboot into windows and play it there without reinstalling anything (even if i rarely do it).

I recently saw a thread about how you should not do this, but nobody was able to tell me why...

What am i risking?

Hello,

I recently tried to switch over to arch from windows and I would love to use my razer mouse. I own the wired version with swappable side plates. However the side buttons, in the 12 panel setup, apart from the 1 and 2 which register "back" and "forward", do not register any output at all.

I tried looking around for a solution but couldn't find any that worked.

Has anyone experienced the same? How did you solve the issue?
Thank you for your time

cpu amd ryzen 7 2700x

memory 16gb

gpu nvidia geforce gtx 980

for the past 3 years I've used this same hardware and ran: POP!_OS 22.04 with cinnamon version 5.2.7. I would always run well games that are not so light, including even Helldivers 2, probably the heaviest.

However, in the past month, while developing a fairly simple game on unity, I started to experience increasingly frequent lag spikes when using that program as well as with 3d games.

Those episodes include mouse pointer being laggy, sometimes the screen going black for 2-3 seconds, the audio (whether from the program or from a youtube video in the background) going mute also for 2-3 seconds and then coming back.

On Unity, I took some people's suggestion and tried running a profiler, which would always show the problem was of the "others" category, which doesn't really help. the standalone version of the game was also a bit laggy on linux

from time to time I would reboot on windows 10 and test things, and everything would always run fairly smoothly, including the standalone windows version of the game.

Then someone suggested me installing Mint, which I did, reinstalled the drivers and all and while the performance seem to be better, the problem still persists.

Just by browsing on steam I experience some lag on the mouse pointer. Same with Unity.

Before moving to mint, htop would show huge spikes on the CPU cores, some of them reaching 100%. I haven't tested it again since.

I tried changing the nvidia drivers. Tried 550, 535, 470, but the problem doesn't go away.

I tried updating Unity.

any insights?

Driveloop: Survivors is another attempt to blend the survivor-like bullet heaven whatchamacallit genre made popular by Vampire Survivors with vehicles. It's out now in Early Access so I took it for a spin.

How I can use NTsync in Proton?

My Linux kernel: 6.14.1-arch1-1 Distro: Arch Linux

OS: Fedora 41

DE: KDE
Kernel Version: 6.13.9
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600

Motherboard: Asus TUF X570-Plus Wifi

GPU: Nvidia 3060 Ti (Driver Ver. - 570.133)

I did not have this issue before but probably about 2-3 months ago I began to think my Dualsense controller had stick drift again. Only to realize one day when I used it wired that everything was fine.

Over bluetooth it's almost like inputs get stacked sometimes so 3 small shifts to the left turns into a big swooping turn that I can't pull out of. Hence it made me think it was stick drift.

Other times there is just a huge delay between when I press a button and it registers. Recently using a Windows system I update the controllers firmware with Sony's program. However, that did not solve the issue. Currently I just use the controller wired, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this may be happening.

I just bought a new PC for gaming and I would like to replace Windows with a Linux distribution.

I already installed Kubuntu on old PC I wouldn't mind losing, not this time.

I've read a bit and so far all I have to do for the PC to work at full potential is :

1. Install my OS
2. Install GPU drivers

Do I get things right or I missed a lot of major steps ? It seems too simple to me.

I thought about Ubuntu or Pop!_OS.

Here are the technical details in case you're curious :

• Reference : MSI Pulse 16 AI C1VGKG-010FR
• CPU : Intel 7 155H
• RAM : 16G DDR5
• Storage : 512G SSD
• GPU : RTX 4070

Hey all,

I am not stranger to Linux, but recently I've had issues trying to setup Linux on my desktop. I was set on Ubuntu but then the on mobo Bluetooth not working inside of Ubuntu was a huge turnoff for me.

Specs: Radeon RX 7800XT Gigabyte AORUS Eagle X870 Elite WiFi 7 Ryzen 7 9700X 32GB DDR5

I have tried to install Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and now Im trying to decide between endeavourOS, Garuda or Bazzite.

My machine is used for a lot of gaming but its also a workhorse, but I don't want a strictly gaming Linux distro where everything else is unoptimized or something because I do more than just gaming.

What's your recommendations?

I’ve been having so many issues with gaming and crashes and windows errors I’m getting to the point where I’m debating on switching to Linux. Is it better for gaming ?

Just got my XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Mercury Gaming Edition today. Just yesterday Computerbase did some tests on the 9070XT in combination of UV and reduced power limit. Exactly for this reason I got my new GPU, I wanted to reduce power consumption in gaming. Just FYI I'm using Tumbleweed.

So the first thing I did take a look at after installing the GPU was CoreCtrl. Doing that came with quite a big surprise: The Power limit can be reduced not only by just 30%, negative off-sets are completely unlocked (you could set the GPU to 1W^^), while - and this is good to see - increasing the power limit still is restricted to +10%.

Did some tests with the power limit while running Space Marine 2: Even at 120W and -75mV the game was still running fluidly.

This was an extreme test - you can get to comparable results by limiting FPS or reducing the resolution, etc. Just did it to test what could be possible.
