I just installed the Gigabyte RX 9060 XT 16Gb version into my pc, installed the 25.10.1 drivers, updated my system, and rebooted, wired video out from the card, but no games seem to be detecting the GPU. Everything worked on my RX 7600 so I'm not sure what else to do to get the games to detect the card, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys,

I checked the faq and some older posts here and am still unsure about which distro to choose from. To start with I am a complete linux beginner and haven't really looked to deep into how linux works yet. But I am starting to really hate windows, expecially because of all the privacy issues and it feels kind of unstable in recent times on my pc, I usually do need to do a fresh reinstall every couple of years to fix all the issues. I also read that one might gain a bit performance, when on linux compared to windows, which would be dearly needed, since I am currently running on a bit outdated hardware.

I am running a radeon 5700xt and ryzen 3700x.

I do want to upgrade my setup in the near future once i find a good deal and go for the 9070xt with the 5700x3d.

I would like to keep the OS when doing the swap to the newer Hardware, since from what I read I would need to reinstall all my applications and I don't have the best internet connection, but a large hard drive with a large gaming selection.

From what I read for now stable releases on newer hardwares are not the best choice so something like linux mint is not recommended. I have seen a few posts here which argue rolling releases should always be preferred, but there seems to be not a unanimous opinion on that.

I also prefer to use GOG as my primary gaming store as I want to actually have a DRM free copy of my games, but also use Steam of course for all the games that dont get published on GOG. I am playing a healthy mix of freshly released games, for example Monster hunter Wilds currently and much older games, like Amnesia. I don't really enjoy the hardcore competitive games tha thave anti-cheat and checking with protonDB. All Titles I want to play are rated silver or higher. GOG should work fine from my reasearch and I only need to do slight tinkering with proton versions, compared to steam. I am also using my system not only for a few hours of gaming every once in a while but also work and other hobbies, so mainly coding, web surfing, the occasional video editing and content creation.

I found that the usual candidates that are recommended are stuff like linux mint, fedora, nobara and arch. I am fine getting into the nitty gritty of stuff and try to dial stuff in, which would be necessary with distros like arch, but I am worried to f*ck it up or not get it dialed just right to make it more comparable to or performant than other distros like nobara which do the work for you. I am also unsure on using Nobara, because it seems to be supported for now, its future seems uncertain from what I have read here and again I really dont want to swap the OS and be forced to download terrabytes of games, that I might want to game if i get the occasional scratch for it.

All help would be dearly appreciated

Edit: I would also like to use FSR 4 when getting the new setup, I am currently VRR, FSR 3 and frame gen, even though it looks like poop, because otherwise I dont really get decent amount of frames in the more modern titles. Reading the faq more advanced features also seems to favor rolling distros.

Hey guys, I've been looking to try out some other OSes on different devices and manually moving over my worlds and mods and such has gotten really annoying. Is there a way to do all this automatically like containerizing the client? I use the prism launcher btw. Thanks.

Hey everyone! So I built a desktop gaming rig 10 years ago, obviously at the time with Windows. This machine has worked great for 10 years and still holds up to this day. I dabbled in Linux since 4 years ago and made the permanent switch to Arch one year ago and threw Windows out after they tried to shove their AI down my throat. And I am never going back lol.

But my needs have changed after 10 years: I am no longer a hardcore gamer but I still do play casually, mostly single player titles like CP2077 or similar. But one thing I really want now is some form of mobility, which when I built my desktop was not an issue at all. I am talking "some" because most of the time it'll remain seated on my desktop BUT I might take it with me when I stay over at my girlfriend for example.

So this has thrown me in the search of a gaming laptop that I will put Arch on. I already did some research and I came accross Tuxedo laptops. They are based in Germany and I am also in the EU so shipping should be a breeze and relatively cheap with no customs costs. I looked at two of their models that have my interest:

• TUXEDO Stellaris Slim 15 - Gen6 - AMD
• TUXEDO Gemini 17 - Gen3 - AMD

The interesting thing here is that the Gemini 17 has a better CPU (Ryzen 9) than the Stellaris, who "only" comes with a Ryzen 7, BUT they are the same price, maybe 10 euros difference. What is the catch here, mobility? because the gemini 17 looks mobile enough for my usecase. Also looks like it will stay cooler. BTW, i included 32GB RAM, an RTX 4070 (yeah i know AMD works better with Linux, but my current nvidia card works rather flawlessly on my arch install, so I think I'll manage?), and a 2TB 990 PRO SSD. These specs (except the graphics card maybe) are minimum for me.

So currently I am thinking about the Gemini 17, what is your experience with Tuxedo? Should I look somewhere else?

Budget is around 2.5k€, as I'll sell my old desktop for parts and expect to get about 800 from it, and I got a 300€ bonus at work. Use case is casual single-player gaming and the occasional compiling of enormous software from the AUR :p. Don't care much about mobility, as long as it fits in a backpack. Don't care about noise at all while gaming. Battery duration is "meh" in importance to me. The goal is to play CP2077 and the like at 1440p 144HZ with high-ultra settings.

Thanks a bunch for the advice!

Hey all,

So a friend gifted me lies of P and i am getting black blocks in place of shadows and it makes the game quite awful to look at. In the attached video im also including my in game settings

My system specs are as follows:
EndeavorOS (Latest release)
ryzen 7 5700x
32gb ram
RX 9070 OC

and i've tried running this under all GE-proton 10 versions. From my googling it says it might be a graphics driver issue although i have not had this issue in any other games. Any help would really be appreciated than

Recently decided to man up and do it, switched to arch with hyprland using archinstall 2 days ago, a bit of a rocky experience but it’s solid nonetheless. But there’s this issue that’s completely messing with me, I installed steam using pacman and using yay later, both ways gave me the same result, steam was blurry, and pixelated to a point where it’s not usable, tried installing helltaker and playing it for the first time to take my mind off of it, but the highest resolution the launch options gave me was 720p. Tried downloading freetube to take my mind off that too, so I got the portable zip and extracted it using peazip, but when I launched it was pixelated even worse than steam. Did anyone encounter similar issues or is it just me? And please tell me how do I fix it it’s getting frustrating (not giving up tho)

I cannot get games to recognize these pedals as a device, I have used Input-remapper but it fails to properly map all three pedals as analog inputs.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am not a Linux Wizard so digging beyond input-remapper is eldritch magic to me.

One can easily make Nvidia smooth motion always enabled by putting NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 into /etc/environment. Is there any reason why that might not be desirable?

I imagine that it should be smart enough to not do anything when there's nothing for it to do, e.g. when a game is already running at close to max FPS (i.e. close to the display refresh rate). Is that the case, or can it sometimes lead to worse perfs by wasting GPU ops in useless ways?

What's the amount of power consumption overhead compared to the setting being disabled, in situations when it's not adding any frames? Is it negligible (i.e. the GPU simply realizes it shouldn't be doing anything), or does it actually render frames and then throws them away?

These questions may be a bit too technical, but I'm curious if anyone has done any FPS and power consumption comparosons between the setting on and off.

I switched from Windows to Linux (Tuxedo) a month ago and everything works fine. Except for gaming.

Steam goes up to 70% CPU usage while playing, so with Discord, Spotify and browser opened at the same time, PC freezes entirely and i'm forced to hard reset it. Even when i'm trying to reduce it to only game+browser or game+spotify, it will only work for about an hour and eventually crash.

This never happened before on Windows and I was playing the same games (I tried Warframe, Darktide, Endless Space 2 and Rogue Trader with Linux) while using the same apps. And often there were even more things running at the background and somehow over the past 7 years, it has crashed fewer times than in the last month.

I tweaked a little with proton and drivers, because Homeworld (Steam - I gave up, won't even launch) and Diablo 4 (Lutris - works fine AND doesn't make my pc crash) didn't want to work out of the box, so dunno, maybe I accidentally screw something up.

Is there anything I can try to fix it? Or should I just reinstall the whole os and start over, hoping it will work after all?
Please don't tell me that's just the way it's going to be, other than that i'm perfectly happy with Linux.

OS: Tuxedo
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
16GB RAM

Bazzite is completely useless if drivers don't work out of the box they can't just be updated to newer versions without rpm-ostree. On the other hand getting newer NVIDIA graphics cards to work under e.g. Ubuntu is a huge pain in the ass. I am a long time Linux user but I don't understand how anyone can game on it, what distro is a better idea?

Hey recently got an Intel Arc gpu and thinking about making the switch from windows but I'm wondering about the gaming performance of the latest drivers compared to windows ones. Is anyone here using arc on linux and how is your experience? Thanks!

I'm trying to run Resident Evil 4 Remake from Dodi Repack using Bottles, but when I start the game I get this.

I was able to play several other games without any problems, such as Cyberpunk, Expedition 33, Elden Ring...

Does anyone have a solution?

Hey there. I’m thinking about switching to Linux and use it on a daily basis. The question is: what is the most suitable distribution for gaming? Is it possible to run online stuff? I do play gta online occasionally so it would be nice if I could run that, as well as Witcher 3 RDR2 and Baldurs Gate 3. As these are the only games I play rn. I play on a laptop: Asus tuf a 15 Ryzen 7535hs Rtx 2050 16gb ram 512 gb ssd

Thank you for your help❤️

Edited: is there any chance to run g-helper as well, or maybe there’s something similar exists?

Hey Linux-Gamers,

i am a fresh linux gamer and I am currently migrating my games from Windows to Bazzite. Is there any chance to get Dotaplus from Overwolf working ?
https://www.overwolf.com/app/overwolf-dotaplus

It looks like it is a lost cause. :O

Thanks for your insights.

Best
