Hello everyone, I am kind of familiar (but rather new) on how this works for drivers for AMD. Seemingly the card worked out of the box, and detecting as a different card in settings - and I did not think much of it as the card was working great.

However I was in the middle of a game and the card green screened on me. Temps were fine, nothing maxed out - resulting after investigation that it is most likely a driver issue.

I had a few questions about linux AMD drivers and the 9060XT

A) do the drivers naturally support FSR4
B) is there a 9060 release yet for Nobara? (I looked at AMD website and there is support for ubuntu, RHEL, and servers)

Any input would be helpful, I am looking through forums but there does not seem to be much about the new card yet.

Hey folks, I recently made a small-ish puzzle game about a Dwarven mine and I finally managed to create a Linux build for it!

It was such a cool and fulfilling challenging making the universal build to work, I love Linux, but sadly for the past years, my career kinda took me away from it a little bit, so being able to pull this off feels great!

The game's first 8 levels can be played for free in the demo and the full game features 26 levels as it is right now, I plan on making a couple of expansions for it!

Check the game out: https://cherrybit.itch.io/mine-cart-operator

Would love to hear your thoughts on it if you play, and if you have any trouble running the game, don't hesitate in reaching out!

I play the precision platformer Geometry Dash at a fairly high level, and I switched to Linux from Windows out of necessity earlier this month, but since then i have been forced to switch off of my keyboard due to input lag problems, despite it being a verified 1000hz, hall effect keyboard. It has switched off rapid trigger, so that may be the issue I am having. Is there any way to fix it potentially?

Also, since switching to Mint, I have experienced frequent severe stuttering visually, though the recorded FPS ingame stays the same (basically, I'll play on 60 fps, but occasionally it will stutter down to a visual rate of closer to 10-15 fps, though the number displayed by the fps counter will not change). It makes playing games like GD unnecessarily difficult and causes eye strain. Is there a fix for this, as well?

Just finished up the game (absolute blast btw), but I observed 3 different times after long sessions, performance would degrade significantly. I saw all 3 times that the the game had allocated around 14.5 gigs of ram, very weird as I know the game doesn't use that much on the regular.

Now unfortunately even though this happened 3 times, I never tried to systematically collect info about what might be going on. All 3 times I played for a considerably long time and all 3 times the game was unbearable slow at the end having allocated 14.5 gigs of ram. Only solution was a complete restart, not even going back to the menu seemed to free the leaking memory.

I searched the net for anything around this but all I found was just general performance talks and nothing specific, even on proton db. So I came to ask here if any of yall have had this happen, or any insight to the problem.

Hardware is Radeon 9070 XT, Ryzen 9700x and 32 gigs of DDR5 ram.
Now I do have a unorthodox setup for the game

CachyOS, proton-cachyOS (native) version 1:10.0.20250605-1, mesa-git Version 25.2.0_devel.206551.00dd0d0dd15-1 with these launch flags, mainly to activate FSR4, courtesy of proton-cachyOS and mesa-git patches:

MANGOHUD=1 DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_fp8_hack FSR4_UPGRADE=1 game-performance %command%

I would suspect the FSR4 hack to be the culprit, but the same certainly doesn't happen with the exact same setup in Horizon Forbidden West.

So, do you guys have had a experience like this, or can any of you offer insight on what might be the issue? Linux problem or game problem?

TLDR: no I do not want to be told to use a mayflash or other way to convert a controller to Xinput. This causes in game issues for the games I want to play.

On Windows there is a driver called Zadig that is used to basically help GameCube controller adapters be recognized on Windows. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent or maybe there is but I've found no such thing.

Dolphin emulators website shows steps for changing code or something within the operating system (seriously? Is there not a simpler way of doing this)

The device I'm using is a simple unmodified Steam Deck that I'd like to just be capable to detecting the official adapter for games I host tournaments on and for my own pleasure when I emulate games.

I'd seriously appreciate any help on this simply because I'm sure there is a solution that doesn't require me to change code (that apparently also gets deleted every update to steam deck OS?!)

I'm not familiar with Linux so feel free to explain why what I'm asking for is not available or possible if it's simply just ignorance on my end.

Has anyone managed to get Xbox One Controller to get recognised ny any browser?. It does on Firefox but it doesn't support Cloud Gaming, gaming sessions get interrupted almost immediately. It's a Catch-22 situation, Firefox recognises controllers but doesb't allow Cloud Gaming, Chromium based browsers support Cloud Gaming but doesn't recognise Controllers.

I tried Xbox Cloud Gaming from Lutris, Flatpak... None work. I'm on Fedora btw

Any help is appreciated

I had absolutely no problems with this controller (wired) on my laptop which has the same kernel version as this desktop. I did try various drivers to get bluetooth to work on my laptop, but after hours of failing to achieve that i just decided I'd use a usbc-usbc cord and forget about bluetooth. Now I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu LTS on this system, updated the kernel/headers/c++compilers/dkms/whatever else, and it refuses to work. I even blacklisted xpad thinking it might have been creating conflict with the other drivers, but so far it's the only one that even registers the controller is connected - only without accepting any input. I thought AMD based things worked better on Linux, but somehow the intel-based mobo works out of the box with no problems, and this one doesn't? I'm so confused. I know this is a constant topic, but there is still no definitive answer to it. Anyone have any experience with the MOBO i'm using as well as Ubuntu LTS 24.04.2?

Need Help: GRUB Boot Loop After Switching Back to Windows

I ran into a boot issue I can't figure out. A few days ago, I had installed Linux Mint because I liked the minimal setup and low bloat — it felt clean and smooth.

But later, I needed to switch back to Windows 10 since I use Adobe Premiere Pro for my editing classes, and also wanted to play GTA Online with my friend (my PC doesn’t support Windows 11, sadly).

Now here’s the problem: even after installing Windows 10, my PC boots straight into a broken GRUB shell, saying:

"Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported..."

I can’t boot directly into Windows unless I mess around with things. I think GRUB is still sitting on the bootloader and looking for a Linux install that doesn’t exist anymore.

Would really appreciate it if you could point me to a fix or video — or just any advice to completely wipe GRUB and restore the normal Windows boot.

Big thanks in advance,

Do you also have VRR problem on Proton 10.0-1 (Beta)? I have it in every game on Linux Mint.

Lossless scaling has given older GPUs new life by offering upscaling and framegen options for all games on windows. Is there any alternative on Linux that offers framegen for games?

I do most of my gaming on a different steam account than my main one, however a handful of games (FFXIV for example) are tied to the steam account despite having their own logins.

So my idea is to write a simple shellscript that first checks to see what user is currently logged in, and then if necessary swap accounts and launch the game.

Script would execute something like this:

steamswap ${user} ${gameid}

Is something like this possible? I know it would require me to be able to get the current steam user info and also be able to change the account all without seeing a gui, I remember on windows you could do this by having a batch script kill steam, then execute a shortcut with the account credentials right there in the 'command' section of the shortcut, which wasn't the most secure but I was the only person using my pc so whatever lol...

I'm starting to think now that maybe I could check some file in the .steam directory to get the current userid but im not sure.

At any rate thanks for any advice/tips in advance

And yes I am aware that steam offers easy account swapping and have been using it, I'm just looking to automate this for QoL purposes

A few things that stand out to me here:

A large chunk of the Linux Steam users are on Arch or Arch-based distros (even excl. SteamOS). Any chance "Arch Linux" 10.09% includes SteamOS as well? I struggle to see newcomers choosing Arch over Ubuntu or Mint on desktop.

Debian is way more popular than I expected. It is notoriously hard to find the ISO and the installation is far from straight-forward compared to most other popular options. I can only assume it includes LMDE and all other Debian-based distros.

There is no sign of Fedora-based distros. Given how popular Bazzite and Nobara are, it is very surprising. They both come pre-installed with Steam RPM ootb, so I don't think they are hidden behind the 7.42% flatpak version. Fedora 42 might be tho.

I know someone already posted but that was over 2 years ago.

I just got Quest 3 and I would be fine using it as a standalone.

I was thinking that PCVR would be useful if I don't want to drain my quest's battery.

My boyfriend told me to just install Windows alongside Linux for VR which I refused because of my PTSD about Windows Update breaking Linux. I wanted to keep my machine Linux only.

How's PCVR progress so far? Is it getting better than 2 years ago?

Alright, so. I've been going through all the other solutions people have found for Steam Disk Write Error and haven't figured out what's going on. I'm running Mint, no dual boot, here's what we know:
+ made sure permissions are set correctly and the owner isnt set to root

+ drive is mounted correctly, but also happening in two different drives (one internal one external) so it doesn't really matter where I put it.

+ not getting disk write errors when saving other types of files to the same location (can save random text files there just fine)

+ not using flatpak version

+ uninstalled and reinstalled Steam, it allowed *some* games to install and others are still getting the error. I have tried installing from both the downloaded .deb file and from terminal at this point.

+ only certain games doing it with no recognizable pattern: Deltarune, FNAF: Secret of the Mimic, and all demos fail. Death and Taxes and the Binding of Isaac installed without issue.

+ For some reason it also stopped letting me stream games from my Steam Deck to my computer at some point in all this. It *really* doesn't wanna let me stream Deltarune. :V

I opened Steam using the terminal and tried to see if anything logged when the downloads failed, but it's like nothing is happening at all back there. I get Disk Write Error and the terminal says nothing happened at all, no feedback, nothing.

I'm at my wit's end, i just wanna stream my dumb games for my dumb friends. What do i do from here? Thank you.

Hi. I've been gaming on Windows since Windows 98. We use Microsoft infrastructure at work. Recently I've been growing more and more frustrated at Microsoft and the fact that Windows, as accessible as it is, keeps suggesting and asking all sorts of stuff from me. What pisses me off is when I boot up my PC after a few days of not playing and what awaits me is some bullshit such as "Just a few steps left until you've set up your PC". It doesn't happen all the time but every now and then I feel like they're asking for more and more of my data and my consent for all sorts of things. There's so much shit all over windows and they've dumbed the OS a lot so it takes more steps to get to the same point compared to older versions of Windows. I always remember Sheldon from TBBT who said that Vista was the best OS because it was the least user friendly Windows.

So a few months ago I gave Linux a shot and I installed Nobara. I've owned a Steam Deck for quite some time now but I never really understood what it is. I started doing some research on Proton and Linux and I ended up installing Nobara on separate drive. Since then, I've felt like a master of my machine. All the games I've tried on Steam so far have worked with proton support. I'm really impressed. Also, Linux uses a lot less of my resources compared to windows.

What worries me is that here and there I'll encounter a problem I can't solve quickly. But the problem is not that of Linux, but in me not having experience with it and not exactly knowing what I'm doing. As I said, Windows is accessible and there's not as much work as there is on Linux. To be honest, playing around with Linux is actually fun. I feel good after solving a problem I have but what worries me is that I'll encounter problems during times when I just want to turn on my PC and play to relax. I wouldn't want to encounter problems at those times.

I'm about to buy a completely new PC which I will build for myself and I'm thinking should I stick with Windows or just try Linux. The fact that I'll probably have to make a Microsoft account is very repulsive to me. So, taking in consideration this general overview of my situation, would you suggest I take a chance at Linux on my new PC or should I just continue with Windows and try to swallow it's downsides? Do you think that after some time and after a couple of standardized types of problems I'll get the hang of it and feel comfortable using Linux?

Also, are you guys able to play games from Epic launcher on Linux and how do they work?

Curious to hear different perspectives and experiences.

Peace ✌️
