How much is the linux experience going to be with amd gpu? I know i would have better HWA with all browser. witch nvidia only have with firefox based browser. I know you could pick the color bit rate with amd but not with nvidia. I know the performance loss is not the same, Amd suffers bearly 5% give or take but nvidia losses around 20% on linux, So is selling the rtx 4080 for 3000sar and buying the rx 9700xt for 2700sar worth it ? And i also wanna enjoy the console like session(steam deck gamescope session) that know works better with amd and fine with nvidia as long as i stay at 2k. And how is the hdmi 2.1 support for amd mess driver ?

One more thing i use rtx video hdr alot on windows and found an alternative on linux that works with mpv well it work with amd gpues ?

I mean sorry for the messy post my mind is in a mess and i cant make my mind

Hello!

I recently switched from windows 10 to Pop_os and everything is working smoothy but for some reason when I try to play Clair Obscure with my ps5 controller It just doesn't work, I even tried using steam input but it didn't help.
In all the other games I have tried it worked flawlessly with or without steam input.

I'm using proton 9 and and nvidia RTX3060.
What could I try to solve the problem? Thanks!

Get some brutal retro-FPS goodness to start off 2026 with the recently released 77 map Quake Brutalist Jam III.

I get about 15-30 fps more using Linux. Games that i tested are not natively supported by linux. Indiana Jones and Metaphor:Refantazio as examples.

Indiana Jones on Windows without frame gen i get 40-45 fps. On linux without frame gen i get 56-70 fps.

Metaphor Refantazio on Windows 40-55 fps. On linux 70-100 fps.

I suspect such increase is due to higher CPU and RAM usage on Wndows.

My distro: CachyOS Laptop: Legion 5 Pro with RTX 3070 mobile RAM: 16 GB

Hello everyone. Another Linux gamer needs your help. I recently decided to try using steam natively as the launcher for my games, since I heard that it's pretty good now. Until then I was just launching the exe files via Faugus launcher. I installed the required Proton packages and set everything up as needed (enabling proton, choosing the version and for a good meassure even forcing proton) and tried launching my game, which I know my laptop can play, but nothing happened. It just started, displayed nothing and then shut down. I tried several different Proton versions, but nothing helped. I'll be grateful for any advice on how to resolve this. Oh and also, I'm using Fedora linux. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a UF A15 FA507NV and when I open steam (not a steam game, just steam) my laptop fans start going like crazy. I'm using Nobara OS.

I have a GTX 4080 and im looking to OC using LACT. I used afterburner extensively for years and had a good stable OC for my 4080 and want to replicate that in linux using LACT but im not sure about the P state settings and the offsets.

First question is, should i only be using P State 0?

Second question, are the offsets the same as afterburner? So, if i had a +150 core and a +750 memory in Afterburner, would i use those same offsets in the GPU P0 and VRAM P0?

Thanks for any help!

Can someone find some way to make a Steam-like game shortcut but for Game Jolt, it would be extremely convenient.

Keeping classic video game ideas alive, OpenTTD is based on Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It's free, open source and now better than ever with v15 out now.

First time running a linux system, using the latest mint version.

RTX5060, Ryzen 5 7600

A lot of the threads about ED say it runs mostly out of the box just with downgrading proton. I tried a bunch of different valve proton versions and recommended protonGE versions. None of them fix the instant crash. The furthest I've gotten was with proton GE 8-3 which actually processed the vulkan shaders before booting the launcher and crashing like usual. made sure my nvidia drivers were up to date as well. Verified the game files just in case but all was fine there.

Total linux noob here so I'm not sure what I could be doing. I've also seen some threads mentioning something called lutrix? Haven't tried that yet.
