I have switched from windows a week ago. I have used a linux before but never have daily driven it until now. I am currently using EndevourOS. My experiance thus far has been great, however the only somewhat lacking area is my gaming performance. I have a 13th i7 and 4060 Lenovo Laptop. I have installed Nvidia propierty drivers. I get +/- 20 fps less then on windows.

I have found a few resources/guides on how to improve performance from the EndevourOS forum and linux gaming wiki which I intend to follow when I have some free time.

Basically I would like to know how often would I need to be tinkering to get good performance or is this largely a once in awhile thing. I am contemplating switching to something like Nobara if I have to often tinker to get close to windows performance as when I have time to play games, I dont want to be trying to improve performance.

Just this last week, Prey will load, but try to start a game and it immediately crashes with a memory error. Same for Dishonored 2. Both from the same developer.

All other games seem fine so far.

Anyone else seeing an issue? I don't see an uptick of errors when I search. I've run steam with logging, but honestly I don't understand the output.

Hey, maybe someone with more knowledge can help me. I saw that Bazzite uses Gamescope and I was wondering if on a Desktop Image for my desktop, would there be conflict/moving/deleting of files if I use Proton GE 9-3 with Desktop/Gamemode when I switch back and forth? I saw in the recent Proton GE there is this command `COPYPREFIX=1`. It says Steam auto applies -steamdeck when you enter Big Picture/Gamemode and I'm worried about everything getting moved or deleted. I'll provide a link below, I'm not quite sure I understand what is happening so I figured maybe someone else would have more insight. I'd appreciate any help.

* and Encode.

With all the excitement about NVK and Nova drivers, is there any news or plans for an implementation of open source hardware decoding for GSP enabled GPUs? If I have any chance of switching I'd need VAAPI implemented directly or Vulkan video with VAAPI implemented on top of it, and the ability to use that in OBS.

Mid 2024: Nvidia now properly work in wayland. A flock of Nvidia gamers migrate back to linux.

Mid 2025: Linux Desktop market share is now 15%. Valve continue to score with DXVK. WSL2 is dead, just like Android subsytem. Malware and bloatware, adware continue to wreck Windows users.

Mid 2026: Linux Desktop market share now 35%, games that don't have a native Linux client get review bombing on steam. Linux laptop with Arm64 cpu now become common & competitive, driving MacOS market share to below 10%

Thats it I cant predict further !

I am quoting a small section from the blog post :

"Once Wayland support was implemented, I received a bug report that the window was missing a titlebar and close buttons (called "window decorations") when running on GNOME. Most desktop environments will allow windows to supply their own decorations if they wish but will provide a default implementation on the server side as an alternative. GNOME, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that all clients must provide their own decorations, and if a client does not, they will simply be missing. I disagree with this decision; Factorio does not need to provide decorations on any other platform, nay, on any other desktop environment, but GNOME can (ab)use its popularity to force programs to conform to its idiosyncrasies or be left behind."

You can read more about it from here

What are your thoughts about this issue?

System details: 7700X+7900XTX, Fedora 40, GNOME, Wayland.

Vencord seems to be really popular these days with how it supports screen sharing on linux, so I use it whenever I need to screen share. There are two things preventing me from daily driving this:

• Lack of KRISP noise suppression (it does, but my friend thinks I sound worse than on discord)
• looks very pixelated @ 200% global scaling

I am using two 27" 4K monitors and have set the scaling to 200%, since at 100% it's so damn small I can't read anything. Vencord seems to not know what to do with that:

Despite the scaling being an integer scaling, not even fractional.

I've tried looking into their github issues, searching for keywords 'blur', 'pixel', 'blurry', 'pixelated' but nothing comes up, same with searching the internet. Does anyone know anything about this?

As the title says I am unable to turn on ray tracing in DD2. I tried changing it in the config file but it doesn't do the ray trace rendering. Reinstalled and and tried different proton versions (including GE ones) but couldn't get it to work. Does anyone have a workaround for this or is it smth that must be patched in wine/proton?

Hello all,

Fairly new to linux, I wanted to see how I'd fair with Ubuntu as a daily driver for a few months and I'm currently having an issue with Steam where it just refuses to open back up after I close it. I can only reopen it after I shut down my PC and turn it back on or restart my PC but if I close it again, it won't reopen.

I noticed this after I was changing some settings that required a restart, sometimes Steam would restart but most of the time it wouldn't come back up, it would just remain closed even after clicking on the icon multiple times.

I even tried running it via the terminal but I get nothing other than a message that says that it's already running and I can indeed confirm that it is running by looking at the processes. The top menu bar also has a small steam icon so it technically is running but clicking on it doesn't bring up Steam, and that small orange dot that normally appears when there's an instance of an app running isn't appearing for Steam. I've had no sccess getting steam to come up.

When I originally installed Steam, I did it through the snap store but I was having this same issue and after some googling I came to the conclusion that the snap version appeared to have some issues so I removed it using sudo snap remove --purge steam and then installed it using sudo apt-get install steam and all apeared to work better until the issues started manifesting again.

Unsure what else to do at this point. I'm not sure if maybe it's the version of Ubuntu that I'm running in which case I wouldn't mind reinstalling a differnt version, I just got started using it so I don't have much saved at the moment. I didn't realize that verions 24.04 came out like literally the day after I decided I was going to try out linux

The only other strange thing I've noticed is that when I press the Ubuntu icon on the taskbar that shows my apps, I find two Steams when I look it up, one with an invisible icon and another with the Steam icon, not sure if maybe the uninstall of the snap version didn't work and there are still lingering files causing issues.

Any help is much appreciated :)

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, and I'm pretty sure I'm running flatpak steam.

I'm using Proton Experimental - Bleeding Edge (not bleeding edge 8)

I have the Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime installed. It is not being forced to use any compatibility tools.

Seems everything I can find is Xbox style, but as someone who has used playstation controllers his whole life, I want that style!

Any suggestions? Especially if available in Canada.

I want wired for less input lag and hall affect to reduce the chance of stock drift.

Thanks!

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 X
GPU: RX 7800 XT
MOBO: B650 Eagle AX
OS: ArcoLinux
Kernel: 6.8.9
DE: Xfce 4.18
WM: Xfwm4
GPU Driver: amdgpu
wine: 9.8

Something is wrong with wine.
So i wanted to play Battlefield 1 (It worked like a hour before the problem occurred). It did not start at all, it crashed at the EA APP start. So I tried it with Lutris and it also did not start and i would get any kind of error message you can imagine.
I googled a bit and I did not found a solution.
I also tried to reinstall wine but I'm not quite sure if that really happened.

Title, looking to jump to something like Parabola or Triskel but all my attempts at trying to search up answers with regards to this are at minimum a year old if not more. I'm also gonna sneak in a question about which of the Libre distros are most up to date, I know Parabola is rolling release but how close do they chase the 'cutting edge' these days?

I'm trying to run minecraft on an old thinkpad, core2 duo and intel mobile 4 series chipset, but the gpu runs openGL 2.1, so the launcher crashes. Is there a way to use mesa (it has version 22.3.6) or something else to run the game?
