I am using fedora 40 KDE trying to launch red dead 2 through lutris and I am getting an error to update drivers however it was my understanding that the required drivers are already included

I'm playing LoL, and after playing perfectly fine for several minutes I get kicked from the game for not having Vanguard running. Except, get this, Vanguard IS running. The program that Riot gives root access to your PC is so advanced that it isn't even sure if it's actually running or not. The only fix I have found for this is restarting my PC before booting the game back up. And even though I just turned my computer on to play the game and didn't have an update 10 minutes prior. Windows decided that right this very second I had to update my system, it NEEDED to be right now. No warnings, no lube, nothing. In the span of 2 minutes I went from getting fucked by Riot to getting a good ol fashioned Windows spit-roast.

In my 5 or so years of using Linux I can't think of 1 single experience that comes even close to as frustrating as this. Sure maybe I can't play the occasional game that I want to. But I also don't ever have to restart my PC so my natively supported kernel level anti cheat can recognize that it actually IS running. Only to then have my PC restart itself several times to do a system update that improves literally nothing and only serves to somehow make things worse.

Valve have issued the first update to the SteamOS 3.6 Preview series for Steam Deck, throwing in a couple of needed fixes.

I updated to KDE Plasma 6 and now my text ingame (running through proton) looks like this!, i have encountered this same issue with another game that was running through wine lutris but it was not so detrimental as it is in this EUIV, what causes this and how do i fix it? I use Manjaro linux.

you can see that the text is somewhat choppy and sometimes as if a line of pixels from the text was deleted

I know I know, Roblox isn't supposed to be played on Linux... But I watched some vids about how to install it, none of those worked out, so I'd like to know if someone knows about this issue

To save Erik from being the bad guy, no, this is no longer accurate. Sorry. We know you're all excited. We're excited too. We're on it, sit tight, it's coming very soon!

Release dates generally shift around over time (It looks like Erik shared that date 2 months ago) and the above comments are indeed why we don't generally share specific target dates. Note this is a closed/merged pull request, not a driver release announcement/discussion forum.

Lot of talk about arch in this sub, is it worth switching from debian based?

Si as the title says, I'm trying the HDR using Gamescope from a TTY. The Monitor says HDR is enabled, and I'm able to enable it inside games, but colors are washed out, it looks way worse than without HDR. Not sure what I'm soing wrong

With HDR disabled:

With HDR enabled:

I'm running Gamescop with the commands provided on this Arch Wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

A post for future users hopefully with good enough keywords so its easier to google
In proton 9 I would have 90% of my games crash on startup, they would get to a Title card or Loading Indicator and then crash. I want to run all games in Windowed mode since I run an ultrawide monitor. The fix that has been working for me is to launch with Proton 7.0-6, make it to the menu, to where I can then change my settings to windowed mode. Afterwards I can launch the game with the latest Proton version to more likely fix any other problems I could run in to.
The problem lies in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7206 where you can solve this with Disabling "Force Composition Pipeline" in nvidia-settings.

I let GDLauncher install Java 8 and 17 for me, but anytime I run MC, I get saying something to the effect that the game only supports up to Version 61, but I have version 65.

Any idea what's going on here? I've ran MC before in the past and didn't have this issue. TIA!

I’m creating this post to assist newcomers in setting up HDR support on Linux using Plasma 6. I’ve encountered partial and use-case answers, and the wiki isn’t exactly coherent. Hopefully, this guide will help someone (or preferably many people) get HDR working without spending hours on Google, Bing, and Copilot searches. Also, I used Copilot to make this more legible after typing it out. So, if bits of it sound like AI, it’s just rephrasing something I said.

IMPORTANT:

• The commands provided assume you are using Manjaro or at least Arch. These distributions are known to be excellent for gaming until SteamOS 3 is generally released.
• If you’re using a different distribution (e.g., Ubuntu), adapt the commands accordingly. For instance, replace pacman -Syu with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y.
• Be proactive but ask for help if you can't find your distros equivalent.
• Give the wiki a read anyway, the more you read the more you’ll learn. Even if it doesn’t make much sense https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope

Instructions:

1. Check Display Settings:
   • Go to Settings > Display & Monitor and look for an HDR option. If it’s there, skip to step 5.
   • If no HDR option appears, proceed to the following fixes.
2. Ensure You’re Using Wayland:
   • Wayland supports HDR, while Xorg (X11) does not.
   • Check your current graphics platform under Settings > About This System > Graphics Platform.
   • To switch to Wayland:
     • Go to Settings > Colors and Themes > Login Screen (SDDM) > Behavior (top right).
     • Set Auto Login to use Wayland.
     • Restart your system. (There might be alternative methods; feel free to comment if you know one!)
3. Driver Caution:
   • Switching to Wayland may break your drivers.
   • If so, run the following commands and restart: sudo mhwd --remove pci video-nvidia && sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
4. Enable HDR:
   • Now that you’re using Wayland with fresh drivers, the HDR option should appear. Refer to step 1.
   • Change settings one at a time or it may not apply correctly (e.g., 1080p > apply > 120Hz > apply > HDR on > apply). KDE can be quirky like that.
5. Install Gamescope:
   • To get Steam games running in HDR, you’ll need Gamescope.
   • Install Gamescope with the following command: sudo pacman -Syu && sudo pacman -S gamescope
   • Enable Steam integration: gamescope -e -- steam
6. Steam Launch Options:
   • Add launch options for the game you want HDR in.
   • For 1080p@120Hz, the launch option might look like: gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 120 --hdr-enabled -- %command%
     • gamescope specifies the use of Gamescope.
     • The custom resolution and refresh rate are necessary (there’s a reason, but I forgot!).
     • Ensure HDR is enabled in the launch options; otherwise, it won’t work.
7. Testing HDR:
   • After completing the steps above, HDR should work in your game.
   • Keep in mind that the Steam UI will probably be very glitchy at this point. Patience and deep breaths are essential.
   • I tested it with Horizon Forbidden West, and it worked phenomenally once I was in the game.
8. Returning to X11 for Compatibility and Comfort:
   • Repeat Step 2, choosing X11 instead of Wayland.
   • Remove launch options.
   • Voilà, we’re back to square one!

Caveats:

• Using Wayland affects Steam significantly:
  • The store page becomes unusable.
  • The big picture menu (home, settings, etc.) is almost completely broken.
  • You can still navigate with some guesswork.
• Wayland resets display settings on every power-on:
  • Re-enable HDR.
  • Set resolution (if you have a 4K screen, playing in 1080p might result in a tiny box if the desktop resolution is set to 4K).
  • Often restart Steam before launching anything.

TL; DR: Dude it's an instruction set, go back and read 💀

Hello. Just installed Bazzite and so far so good. I had G skill software on Windows that started at boot and turned off the LEDs on my RAM. I tried running said software under WINE but it didn't see the hardware.

Anyone figure this out? Is there another option SignalRGB or OpenRGB that's native to Linux and can turn off my RAMs lights?

Im new to linux (mint) , is there a app for hyperx or driver / spatial audio app.

Because without it my headsets suck, i have them 100% volume and barely hear the video / game ( this is same for windows ) but when the app is running (or spatial audio is enabled ) then finally headphones start to work ( never have to go above 30% volume )

But since linux doesn’t have the app is there any alternatives or something i can do?

Again I’m new, so please provide me instructions like I’m a child.

I haven't used Linux in ages. I'm hoping to be pointed in the right direction, as title says.

I'm interested in reading up on what to choose, the pros and cons of this and that, and anything deemed important for a beginner like myself should know, understand, and learn.

I appreciate your time in helping me.

I need help, I'm torn between Linux operating systems and I want the best performance for gaming, especially Minecraft. Previously, I used Windows. Here are my PC specs:

• Intel i5-4440 CPU
• AMD RX570 4GB GPU
• 8GB RAM

I lean towards using Arch Linux and I'm curious about your thoughts on it as a gaming operating system. Additionally, which desktop environment would be best for optimal performance? Thanks in advance for your help!
