So ive been using mint for the past like day or so and ive installed steam recently, but for some reason it just doesn't wanna add my NTFS drive. Thing is: that never happened to me before. When i used linux it allowed me to use my NTFS drive just fine. Mint, EOS, And Nobara, they all let me do so without fail! But i reinstalled mint and now it doesnt wanna add my drive anymore. I will not be using any external drives as i am incapable of doing so at the moment.

I've tried editing the fstab file but it didnt work. I've tried installing flatseal to allow steam to use my drive, it also didnt work. And mounting it to a different place also doesnt work.

do feel free to include windows stuff inside, im dualbooting! (win 10)

Windows is starting to get more and more annoying, so I want to get rid of it completely. I've ran Ubuntu for a few years in the past on an MSI GT70 laptop, which ran absolutely fine, even when gaming. I have an Asus Tuf Gaming A16 FA607PI now (Ryzen 7845HX and RTX 4070) and in Windows, performance is amazing. When idle or browsing, it's quiet and low temperatures. With Ghelper instead of Armoury Crate I can finetune the fan curves to keep temperatures and sound well balanced.

Now I had decided to try Nobara, on the desktop it works just fine, with AsusCTL (ROG control) I tuned the fan curves and set the CPU power limits as well. But for some reason, when gaming for about 10 minutes, the CPU suddenly runs at 1GHz and reaching 100 degrees. GPU at about 87 degrees. Removing all power limits back to default I see the CPU around 1.5-2GHz in games, but the laptop sounds like a jet engine. In Windows, the CPU runs just fine at 3.5-4.5GHz in games.

Performance is usually fine for a few minutes, apart from some games where I see my fps at 1/3 or halved compared to Windows, but other than that it seems OK.

I double checked the Nobara updater to make sure everything was updated as well, and drivers were the most recent.

Is there anything else I can try? Maybe a different distro? Or other tools to monitor CPU/GPU? The install is on a separate SSD so easy to swap installs.

As the title suggests, im considering sticking up a middle finger to the modern windows OS ecosystem and modern hardware ecosystems and running linux on a thinkpad, idk which exactly but not looking for anything over $100 ish dollars (would enjoy something like the T470). I know that limits performance but ultimately i just want something basic for word processing and uni work, with a VM for windows based GIS software, and some light games that are easy to run or older.

Ultimately, i used Ubuntu to varying success on a chromebook in 2016. I have come to the conclusion mint might be the best choice now since i havent tinkered in years? Or Bazzite (even though its more limited it seems very plug and play) any help is appreciated

Since Microsoft almost killed Xbox and their marketing and scheduling is dead for sure - there are 3 games releasing in about the same time - Ninja Gaiden 4, Keeper and Outer World 2, so they can compete with themselves better.

First two works with 0 issues on 4080 arch, so if you're thinking about getting these on Steam - you should be fine. No login to Xbox Live required. All are UE5 games, but at least Ninja Gaiden 4 seems to be well optimized for high fps.

Keeper seems to be a very unique Double Fine game - art direction and narrative seems great to me.

Sadly not all features work compared to windows, but i'm suprised by the results.
Naturally wayland won't let me to track mouse movement outside the game's (small) window so the score multiplier doesn't work correctly, though i have some ideas on how to fix that.

The demo is out if someone wants to give it a try, and i'd appreciate a wishlist:

The subject says it all.

So since World of Tanks 2.0 I've had this issue on Linux. Before 2.0 I used to play it through Wine or Proton (added as a non-steam game to steam) without any issues. Then they released 2.0 and I thought to give it a go again. The Wargaming gamecenter installs and works perfectly fine. Game installs fine. Launches fine. Works. Everything is good.

Except that in a battle, randomly between 2 and 7 minutes I get disconnected from the server and have to reconnect through the login screen to continue. As you can imagine, it's very annoying and often game breaking.

I can't find anything in the logs. I can't for the life of me figure why.

I've tried 3 different distros (was doing distro hopping a bit so I took the chance for this too). OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. (Previous install of 2 years, worked perfectly before 2.0). Bazzite Linux. CachyOS (currently in use).

And since these days the steam version actually allows you to login to your WG account, I tried this yesterday. Game works perfectly fine regardless of Proton version used...

But it will still disconnect mid-game. This is the only game that does this. It works perfectly well on Windows on the same machine.

Any ideas? Any specific logs I should check etc? Would love to spend some time in-game...

I am so confused by lutris umu, i use protonup-qt to install newest GE-Proton into steam, and lutris normally detected, but the GE-Proton's github repo mention that don't use GE-Proton outside of steam.

My question is when i select GE-Proton(the installed inside steam by using protonup one not the lutris one), will lutris auto use umu backend and set the umu's proton path to what i select in runner?

Hey all, I recently built my first ever gaming PC and decided to take it for a test run with cyberpunk. I have a ryzen 9600x, and I know that they're made to run hot- and when I run cpu-x in the background while playing, usually when K alt-tab to cpu-x it reads temperatures around 87c~91c. Now, I know newer AMD CPUs are made to handle heat, but still, I want to see if I have spikes higher than 91c so I could know if I need to buy a few more fans for my system. Is there any linux compatible software that mimics ryzenmaster's ability to show me a graph of my cpu temps over time? Thanks :)

I can turn on vibrant visuals but there are no shadows and the water looks weird and ghosts when I move my camera around. Also the fps goes from 300 to 10 every now and then.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've seen a few posts in the past of people sharing how to force dlss4 in games, but I felt they were quite long and had to add a lot of launch commands and I felt it was just a mess to make it work until I discovered CachyOS.

1. Download ProtonUp-Qt (You can find it as a Flatpak)
2. Once you launch ProtonUp > Add Version > Compatibility tool > Proton-CachyOS > Install
3. Right click on your game > Properties > Compatibility > Force a specific Steam Play > choose Proton-cachyos

Now to force dlss4 just add to your launch options: PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 %command%

If you want to verify that it's working, you can also add: PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1 to get an overlay showing the DLSS version

Maybe I am not using Reddit enough, but I don't remember reading people recommending this method often, which I find way easier
