Why aren't you gaming on linux /v/?
because i kept getting system errors despite me having a completely standard rig
>b-b-but gaming doesnt work!Seems to be working for me
HURRRRR in b4 all of you retards take the bait and post 300+ replies with the same gay shit. "HURR LINUX IS FOR INDIANS" "NO, WINDOWS IS FOR INDIANS." "DUHHH I'M GOING TO FEIGN RETARDATION FOR (YOU)'S. HUH HUH, GAMES DON'T WORK ON LINUX! LINUS TECH TIPS TOLD ME LINUX SUCKS!"
it doesn't work. I refuse to use a pleb version like mint or ubuntu meanwhile stuff like arch is just a shoddy piece of shit that doesn't even let you install it even if you know what you're doing. I'll be on windows 7, thanks
>>727900696Because I'm learning to MAKE games on it.Wish I'd picked up 3D modeling ages ago, turns out it's not as hard as I thought even if it's still HARD and I'm shit at it.>>727900897>it doesn't work. I refuse to use a pleb version like mint or ubuntu meanwhile stuff like arch is just a shoddy piece of shit that doesn't even let you install it even if you know what you're doing.Install errors or skill issue.
Gaming on linux just werks
>>727900696>tux.pngat least you're not one of those fags that posts his OS info as if anyone gives a shit.>>727900864for some reason Android is the one being called the indian OS now, despite the fact that it's been the only real phone OS choice for like 15-20 years before the tinkertranny stuff releasing just this year
Linux gaming? Linux gaming.
I'm gaming on it right now after making the switch over the weekend. Learning curve is crazy and I keep getting fucked by thinking the process for troubleshooting windows works.
It just werks
>>727900696cant simracecant play multiplayer slop
>>727900696I am.
>>727900696because I'm not a troon, next question
>>727900696BYOND doesn't work on Linux.
>>727900696I think Linux sucks and is ruined by a community that either doesn't want things to improve or is so poisoned by online politics they'd rather make things worse than make things better
Seriously it just werks for gayming.
>>727900696Microsoft hasn't broken windows 10 with AI slog "updates" yet
>>727901878last i heard it did work
>>727901473What tinkertranny stuff?
Maplestory
>>727902110there's phones being released now with actual linux OS, look up Sailfish OS
>>727902591Interesting, every other linux (non-android) phone has been complete shit though
>>727902996that's why I called it tinkertranny shit, cause it's only for hobbyists right now and not ready to compete with android quite yetthings are looking up though, hope it competes sooner than later
>>727900696I'm building up the courage to soon, but the fact that over half my steam library doesn't run on Linux makes me wary. I know some of that can be worked around with programs but I don't have the time to dick around with my pc for 30 mins every time I want to play a different game. Steam os/proton has really been accelerating the process of making these games playable on Linux though, so I'm pretty optimistic about the future. The second my library is 75% Linux compatible, I'll make the switch. Windows has somehow made me feel inferior to mac users after years of superiority and it just doesn't feel right. My sole purpose of an OS should not be dictated by gaming related needs.
Gaming just werks on linux
>>727900696Go take a shower.

Installing my old morrowind mod list, I dont really like openmw
>>727905651every time i try MW i end up bouncing off of it. Do you have a good modlist you reccomend for someone who likes Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Nu Vegas, etc etc.btw i found out that there is a way to use wabbajak installers on linux.
>>727900696how would you recommend I start?I can't "upgrade" to windows 11 btw.
>>727906257Just install linux mint XFCE and customize it to your liking.
I have an nvidia card.
All my files are on NTFS disk
>>727906413It werks on linux doebiet just open the driver manager and pick the latest nvidia driver

Swapping out a 3080 GPU for a 9070 XT next week and finally going full AMD CPU+GPU. What should I expect now that I'll soon be free from Nvidia 's "support" on Linux?
>>727906646When PC prices come down I'm hoping to upgrade my AM4 rig from 1080p right now I have a 5600X+ RX 580.I'm going to get a 9070XT+5800XT CPU+ 1440p 24" monitor for hopefully $400 or less in 2-3 years.
>>727906603You want to be free? Don't you? better sell that njudea card and get amd.He's waiting for you...
>>727900696fear of the unknown, too many flavors. If a disgruntled windows user said "i've had enough, how do I join the penguin", what distro comes to mind?
>>727900696>modern multiplayer games almost all do not work>A few old games are completely incompatible>90% of softwares do not work, or need complicated setup (including for indie ones)>Alternatives are almost all worseYou tell me.

>>727901938That description encompasses all Intellectual Property, at least Linux allows for people to take the functional work and make a functional system with it, rather than needing to constantly work around a non-functional system like Windows.>>727907341Debian or Arch.Debian will force you to fuck with extra package management (flatpak, nix, importing repos, switching repos, etc.) to get access to newer software that might have the features you want and might not work on the newest hardware.Arch trades needing to fuck with package management (thanks to rolling release and the AUR) for occasionally needing to fix something going wrong (in my experience that's really just fixing GRUB).There are "for retards" versions of both of these in the form of Mint and EndeavorOS, just keep in mind that derivative distros may not remain consistently good.

i LOVE using my PROPRIETARY NVIDIA CARD on my GNU/LINUX machine along with PROPRIETARY DRIVERS while using PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE like many vidya, that is all.
>>727901991And the compatibility is dogshit even with WebView2. BYOND itself is so old and janky that I'm considering switching to SS14
>>727900696I am. Now fuck off with these dogshit threads and stop trying to open the gates for normalfags to flood in.
>>727906603should have bought the amd card which ends up being more performant after the driver hit for half the price
>>727912589when has nvidia been more performant at the same price point? the only reason to get nvidia is for cuda or if you bought into the rtx meme.arch gnome btw.
>>727906981No one wants you gaymd jeet e-waste. ROCm sucks, HIP sucks, you're brown.
>>727912639nvidia has always been more performant on windows which is why people buy it regardless of price pointthen when they want to switch to linux its not true anymore and amd is more performant for a much lower price point80% of gamers buy nvidia but the % of people out of them who actually use and need cuda is a small minority
>>727912714But RDNA 3/4 has FSR4 and RDNA4 has the same if not much better encoding then njudea for OBS.What does njudea leatherjacket AI scam man have anymore anyways? DLSS transformer and MAYBE the MEMEtracing which is still a failure in 2025 where a 11 year old game like battlefront made in 2015 has better graphics than modern unreal shit engine 5
Wincattle be like>NOOOOOOOOO LINOOOOX IS TOO HARD TO USE I CANT INSTALL STEAMErm just click install lil unc
my internet speed is shit and don't have money for these raised price SSD and HDDs. win10 still works for now
>>727913749what does internet speed and storage prices have to do with anything?
>>727913942i don't want to redowload games. Because i should be reformatting my drives from NTFS, while linux can handle it, it is a recommended thing to do
>>727901141You and me brother.I'm currently working on character models and throwing a fit over lips and eyelids. Even worse, there doesn't seem to be any dedicated guides for those.
>>727913980lil labubub unc just copy the files to an ext4 usb drive unc
>>727913980its recommended but it is not neededyou can access your games just fine and safely with ntfs3 on linuxI assume you dont have any backup drives you can use to copy the files over?
>>727901580Gamu?
>>727914104My external HDD recently died and got nothing else. that is why i wanted to buy a new storage.
>>727900696It's a matter of fact, that if you do use Windows in [current year], then you are facilitating Microsoft's botnet with your hardware and bandwith. In the future you'll be manipulated with unoptimized trojan horse software to pay for overpriced, throttled crippleware whose resources can and will only be exploited by the infinite layers of telemetry and remote access baked into Win11 onwards.

Because I don't play games on PC.
>>727918642Pretty much, their solution to every problem with the OS they ruined is "Please reinstall Windows, saar"
>>727918642You say that like it's not a catastrophic event.
>>727900696Because Windows just works for me and I personally don't feel the need or desire to switch. I'm nothing but happy about the fact an increasing number of things just work on Linux too, more options are always a good thing.
>>727900851im addicted to this game
>>727901473because jeets are too poor for both computers and apple shitnot that i'm ever interested in apple shit but you can't pretend like android is getting any better with what google is doingonce someone releases a fully unlocked decently specced phone with all the binaries and blobs fully out there i'm installing some mobile specific distro like ubuntu touch and not coming back

>>727900696Why do you give a shit? Linuxfags are most unwelcoming and downright hostile to anyone that's having an issue. Googling solutions isn't helpful a lot of the time and I have no fucking idea what I'm doing this shit doesn't come with a manual for fuck sake
>this shit doesn't come with a manualand this fuckface wonders why people aren't mindful of his special needs
>>727921954Windows. If you're using an Nvidia GPU that's literally your only choice. Nvidia's Linux drivers are closed source and dogshit, so not only do that not work, you can't even fix them, there are fan made open source drivers but they're even worse than the dogshit proprietary ones you get from Nvidia. Nvidia doesn't care, maybe when Linux has a 10% market share (kek) they'll put out a half decent linux driver.
>>727922315Nvidia has great AI drivers on linux. You just get what you paid for.
>>727922072Ask a linuxfag how to do something and they link you to the arch wiki, but you read that shit and it doesn't make sense to anyone who doesn't have a computer science degree.
>>727918842I have never had an issue with DWM and have used C for over a decade so configuring and compiling it is a non-issue.Turns out, you really don't need more.
>>727922072>>727922415Unironically this is a good use case for AI. Any problems you have with Linux are easily explained and solved by it.
>>727922382Its funny how people feel betrayed by Nvidia. Corporations are not your friends, they don't care how loyal you've been buying their cards since the 8800gtx or whatever, they will all drop you like a bad habit the second they get a whiff of higher profits somewhere else. Its like getting mad at a dog for sniffing ass, its just what they do.
>>727922382Nvidia has good CUDA support but BAD hardware acceleration on Linux. Everything from a hw acceleration standpoint like the compositor is expecting amdgpu and mesa driver calls. Nvidia is not amdgpu and Nvidia does not use mesa but proprietary.
>>727922415It doesn't require comp sci degree, just a basic level of problem solving. Ask your parents or husband to do it for you if you're lacking the bare minimum.
I'm honestly hoping Valve will release a stable official version of SteamOS w/ a proper installer and full compatibility with nVidia cards/drivers so I can completely switch over from windows on my rignot because I'm a linux enjoyer or a windows hater, I simply want to be able to play older titles which I can't do on windows unless I install third party perches from God knows who, whereas thanks to proton I can play them without having to lose 1-3 hours of my life troubleshooting
how do you hide qemu windows VM from some anti cheat? I just want to test fortnite on it
>>727922415>Ask a linuxfag how to do something and they link you to the arch wiki, but you read that shit and it doesn't make sense to anyone who doesn't have a computer science degree.Anon, my 80IQ roommate who's on disability for a number of brain problems can parse the arch wiki and understand what it's saying.You may be neurologically impaired.
>>727922648and why do you need steamos for that? any linux distro does fine
>>727922648its not up to valve to fix nvidas driver issues. its up to nvidia to fix their windows and linux driver problems since they want to be proprietary.
>>727922739>and why do you need steamos for that?So I'm not the guy asking "how do I do XYZ on chunky peanut butter linux?" only to get "I dunno man I use chocolate pecan linux"Often the best way to find a solution to something on arch linux is to just look up [your problem] +steam deck because most of the time their solution will directly translate to you also.
>>727900696only jeets use windows in 2025
>>727921926>os-market-share/desktop/>it's phones saarDisgusting /g/eetoid subhuman.
>>727900696I am and I'm honestly finding it obnoxious. Maybe it's my distro but my games are freezing constantly. Not crashing, freezing. And of course because it's Linux looking up solutions doesn't get you answers, but a million different suggestions drowning in peoples' bias and opinions. Of course they don't actually fix the problem either. I'm sick of this shit but it's not like I can go back to Windows because it's covered top to bottom in AI and breaks in far worse ways every single fucking update. I'm so sick of PC gaming. I've had nothing but problems since my last PC died and I had to build a new one and now with Linux I get even more.
>>727900696I do. It's easy, and performs well. Any time I've actually needed to tweak or fix something, I've enjoyed it similar to a DIY project around the house.

>>727907341The primary issue is I don't want to run into a situation where I want to play a specific game and it just so happens that game doesn't work with linux or whatever distro I've selected.
>>727922739>play them without having to lose 1-3 hours of my life troubleshooting>why do you need steamos for that? any linux distro does finethat's why I'm still on windows, I don't want to fuck around with linux on top of fucking around with the games to make them to work
>>727923640>>727922918theres no fucking around you download steam and download games and they work out of the box, if your game is not on steam you download lutris and download games from there
>>727923210>Maybe it's my distroTotally could be your distro. Honestly, despite what people say about "complexity" use an arch distro. CachyOS, Manjaro, or Arch. I bet you'll have far less problems. >looking up solutions doesn't get you answersJust use Gemini. It's free with your google account, it will literally solve all of your Linux problems with extreme ease. You can even screenshot a problem and give it the image to diagnose. It's more competent than you or any dude on discord will ever be at diagnosing and it reduces the time to fix things from 30 minutes to under a minute. Don't have shame in using a crutch like AI. It's a night and day difference.
Because it just doesn't werk. It's an unfinished buggy piece of shit. Even something goes wrong just 5% of the times you try to do something new (probably closer to 50%) I don't want to have to cross my fingers every time I want to play a new game, mod, change my video/audio output, or god forbid alt+tab out of a game. I'd rather use an OS W95's features that just works than this shit.
>>727923693>LutrisHeroic is better imho>>727923640>I don't want to fuck around with linux on top of fucking around with the games to make them to workI don't think I've fucked around with any game to get it to work at all in the past year, and I play a fuck ton of games both pirated and on steam. It's pretty plug and play desu
>>727923693nigger I don't want X linux distro that does exactly the same thing hurr durr, the only thing I'm willing to switch to is SteamOS otherwise I'll just stay on windows
>>727923128>we should take data that shows jeets don't even use computers seriously

>>727925080>the nonsensical data that shows 70% of jeet traffic is phones which doesn't happen for any western country and the second place is held by literally unknown is trustworthy because.... because i'm an h1b jeet that's paid to shit up this board!!!!!!!!
>>727924063SteamOS is just retardproofed, pre-configured Arch.SteamOS will never be a viable desktop OS, because it stops being retardproofed as soon as you want to use it for something it's not pre-configured for, like installing software on a desktop.
>>727925198>saar desktop os is actually jeetdroid>saar 95% of jeets having jeetdroid as their goyphone os is a lie
>>727925419are you esl? i never claimed thatthe point is that you're arguing linux is full of jeets when even according to your own fucking data they don't even use computers at allfind me one fucking source that backs up your claims of linux being full of jeets that doesn't bring up statcounter
>>727925687four times the average if you're willing to trust statcounter data that shows android being 70% of the jeet marketshare with the second place being literally fucking unknownwhy the fuck should that data be trusted?we have the numbers confirming that jeets don't use computers with steam showing they amount to less than 1% of traffic, flathub showing they only amount to 2% of downloads and your weird jeet distro being 300th on distrowatch and nonexistent in the steam survey
>>727900696It's for insufferable losers at the moment.Linux is great for computer science, I still dual boot it with Windows because when I want to play games I don't want to have to do anything but click my game and play it. I don't want to set anything up, I want it to be simple.Until SteamOS gets a proper release and Windows becomes too insufferable, I'm sticking to Windows.Linux gamers are the gaming equivalent of "I'm on Arch btw". The only ones mentioning it outside of bug reports and guides to get a game running are the freaks that use it as a personality trait stand in.
>>727925391>it stops being retardproofed as soon as you want to use it for something it's not pre-configured for, like installing software on a desktop.Not even true really. You can install a bunch of shit onto a steam deck and it's totally retard proof for the most part.
>>727925853>data that shows android being 70% of the jeet marketshare95%, linjeet.
>>72792594770% of TOTAL traffic you fucking moron, not mobile traffic, another 14% of that is literally unknown which would lead any reasonable person to immediately discard your dataeven if we pretend that your retarded source that uses shitty outdated trackers that have been banned everywhere relevant is trustworthy you'll see that split being somewhat close to 50:50
>>727926191Ninety five (95) percent of the mobile os market share.
>>727926246that wasn't my point you stubborn jeettheir data shows mobile being 75% of traffic and they're including unknown as desktopwithout that it's fucking 90%aka they're not using fucking computersmeanwhile their western country data shows it as being somewhat close to 50/50so your data is fucking worthlessbesides if you had any actual worthwhile source that replicates their results you would've posted it alreadythere are multiple direct sources that show jeets don't exist in the pc or linux space while you're relying on data that's literally been banned on every relevant platform and manages to fuck up 15% of the results showing them as unknown
>>727926756Hence troonix is the jeet's desktop os of choice, linjeet. You know, the 4x more troonix in your streetshitting shithole compared to the rest of the world?
Why can't browns into linux?
>>727926901then you surely have data that proves this that doesn't come from statcounter?
>>727926978You obviously can, that's why you're using it right now linjeet. Or you're virtue signaling from your jeetdroid as per usual.
>>727927052>saar that data doesn't count because it just doesn't countlinjeet pls
>>727927168it doesn't count because their trackers are so fucking useless that 15% of their data shows up as unknown and their trackers have been banned off literally every site that people actually use
>>727927247So you're saying that's the reason for troonix just crashing down and the unknown rising? Yeah, troonix is the jeet's desktop os of choice. Is it like 30% now in reality?
>>727927371i've provided sufficient evidence that would've gotten that data tossed out in courtyou're just coping nowif you were so confident in your belief then finding more data that confirms their results would've been trivialbut you can't

>>727926978jeets do, how else they develop webslop for (You)?
>>727928359>I'm just buying AMDDon't fall for it. AMD GPUs are a scam and I regret buying one this year.
>>727929392While I had nV GPU I had all matter of strange issues with Linux, with AyyMD it's surprisingly smooth.If nV cared about making the experience on Linux on par with windows more people would switch their OS.
>>727930175AMD GPU works fine in my steam deck. Nvidia has way too many driver bugs. Every time they fix one, a new one emerges.
Since when is using desktop linux = jeet? What did I miss?
>>727930471since a very committed winturd started spamming his dogshit tracker site that got banned off every western site
>>727930175I on the other hand bought an AMD GPU and I'm having a great time on my linux machine, no driver issues whatsoever

Because the experience of trying to use Linux as a serious OS is still inferior to debloated win 11.>B-BUT LINUX JUST WERKS FOR ME!!!Good for you. But with so many distros, kernels, configurations and wonky compability with hardware it's really hard to have a consistent experience with Linux. It will just work for some people, others will have to go through lots of troubleshooting hell until they give up and go back to windows. Until things improve Linux is still at best a hobby OS to be used alongside windows.
>>727934164>But with so many distros, kernels, configurations and wonky compability with hardwareyou do realize that linux itself handles 99% of the hardware compatibility right? if it's good enough for valve it'll be good enough for the retards on this board.
>>727935174You do realize that things in the end depend on how hardware makers feel about AI rightYou won't get the same level of control you cam have with GPU software on Linux, and if your network card maker doesn't like Linux you're often boned
>>727935393*about LinuxShit
Reshade doesn't work 100%>inb4 "d-do you REALLY need all depth buffer effects?"
>>727935578hardware makers have to cater to linux because linux runs most of the servers, AI and your fucking phone. i'm not sure what hardware incompatibility you've run into, but it does in fact just work on my machine.
>>727934164>Because the experience of trying to use Linux as a serious OS is still inferior to debloated win 11.Is it actually inferior to you? You spent the rest of this post going on a tangent about widespread adoption for normalfags who don't research anything in advance but clarified that you use a tinkered Windows normalfags won't use. It sounds like you could easily find a distro compatible with your hardware, likely the large majority are out of the box unless you have nvidia.
I'll switch if everything just works.I value my time and I don't want to look for fixes.
>>727932870
>>727900696It just werks
Sometimes when my display is turned on, the Bazzite detects it as 60hz when it's really 240hz. I have to turn it off and on again to resolve the issue. Other than that, it works fine.
>>727936627let me guess, nvidia in an x11 session?
>>727936627Don't know why I wrote "the Bazzite".
>>727935892>Is it actually inferior to you?Yes. I actually tried to switch to linux and spent like 2 days tinkering and trying all sorts of hacks and tweaks to get a good experience then I gave up and moved back to Windows. Internet works reliably, my mic audio is crystal clear, I can work without issues, can do much more way more easily with my graphics drivers and steam games are just click and play without worrying they will stop working right after some proton update.Linux simply isn't there yet.
I am too lazy to switch from windows which I have been used to since I was 9 years old.
>>727932870He's literally just using the hud to prove he's actually playing on Linux.
>>727936737>use proton experimental>wonder why it stops working overnightthere's a stable branch for a reason anon.
>>727900696im on my ‘eam ‘ick as we speak and will be installing a distro on my desktop>b-b-b-but what about FOTM multiplayerslop with an anticheat that doesnt like troonixnot 15yo anymore + not a child groomer so i dont play fad shit. any game worth it’s salt with MP works on linux too
>>727936674I have an Nvidia card, yes. It mainly happens when I am turning the display back on after a pixel refresh, otherwise it's fine and detects 4K@240hz.
>>727936469Or it doesn't. Stop giving people false expectations towards Linux. Can't even get good mic quality in a default Linux install.
>>727937174idk if bazzite defaults to x11 if you have an nvidia card. don't assume everything is a linux issue though. kde has plenty of bugs and x11 is a shitshow.
>>727937284>a free operating system doesn't work for somebodyNot my problem.
>>727900696cus the cia is holding me hostage and will break my pc if i do
>>727935741Desktop shitter low cost hardware is not the same hardware that servers use. There are tons of problems with retard motherboards for cumsoomers.For example, mine had fucked built in audio. I use a spdif DAC but if I wanted to use the inbuilt audio it's completely fuckd. Maybe the newer kernel releases have fixed it, haven't tried.
>>727937531Thank you for admitting it doesn't work in 100% of cases. You're most commonly fucked if your network card producer doesn't like Linux. Also you won't have the same level of control you have with windows GPU drivers, not without jumping throgh hoops and doing various hacks. Can't have clean mic quality by default too.
>>727937284Strange, my mic sound better on linux than in did on windows. I'm honestly surprised the mic even works for you at all on windows 11, given everything is broken on it.
>>727939578it's usually hardware with proprietary software dependencies that struggle to run on linux. idk what kind of magic cuda does to run all the shitty printers but for the rest it's a crapshoot.if your headset uses the standard line-input and output it'll work just fine.
>>727940081>cudacups*
so im getting a 5070ti/9800x3d next month and i want to use cachyos as my daily driver. how nvidia's drivers are like with cachy's kernel patches? darktide is probably the 'newest' game i gonna play alot at first.
>>727940967>so im getting a 5070ti/9800x3d next monthunless you already bought and paid for it, i recommend buying an AMD gpu instead if you want to use linux. also with nvidia tripling down on AI and abandoning gamers it's probably not the best time to buy their hardware.
>>727941184im dead set on nvidia though. amd isnt bad, but i have the money for the card i want. also imaware that amd is bad at ai slop which kinda makes me wanna have a nvidia card (again). my previous card is the titan Xp (which nvidia doesnt even support anymore, also has issues with modern-ish games)
>>727941409afaik the newer generations of cards work pretty well. there's a large performance dip on dx12 games for now but everything else is fine. the problem here is that nvidia drivers on linux are proprietary so you're at their mercy for any kind of support.
>>727941409>going from a titan to 70tiwewanyway, modern nvidia is fine on Linux
>>727900696Because you keep forcing this pseudo general on /v/
>>727941409>im dead set on nvidia thoughit's your funeral lmaoenjoy having to jump through more hoops and have more stability issues

>>727941586>large performance dip on dx12which is something that nvidia is aware i guess? most of my games are on dx11 anyway and i mostly gonna play older games e.g source engine and emulate. >>727941590managed to get the titan for free since i work in the IT sector, and they let people come into the storage to take old hardware every now and then instead of just throwing it out.>>727941693anything that isnt windows is more than fine for me. it isnt like i had a broken linux system more than once.

>>727900696It just works.
>>727943515Until it doesn't. Then it's a much bigger pain in the ass than windows. Most linux users will tell you that if Linux breaks, it breaks hard.
>>727943691>Most linux users will tell you that if Linux breaks, it breaks hard.what the fuck are you talking about?
>>727943691what can be harder than windows physically destroying all your storage devices?
>>727943929>>727943943I'm fully convinced that you don't even talk with actual Linux users outside of your gay discord circlejerk because Linux had serious issues many times through its history and even in recent versions if you have a problem troubleshooting it can be very painful until it some cases it leads to no solution because your hardware just doesn't like Linux or because a update fucked everything up.Bet you don't even remember when just installing Steam was a titanic task for Linux.

>>727944345>problem troubleshooting it can be very painful until it some cases it leads to no solutionthis is a thing on windows too mate. yes there are bugs, yes there can be hurdles especially if you're not familiar with linux, but the main difficulty people face is that it's not windows.

>>727948027what do you mean wrong? pajeet do you not know what the word means?
>>727946890>>727947616Same with my 9070 pulse. Must be AMD mandated.
>>727949754amd has better drivers on linux than windows these days, having the linux userbase behind them can't hurt.
Why is Nobara overlooked in comparison with Bazzite and CachyOS?It's supposed to be the trifecta of meme distros for gay men but more and more often I see people ignoring Nobara or recommending installing Fedora instead. Like it fell behind or something
>>727946890>>727947616Ok, you made me check. Hellhound 6700XT also has Linux listed first.
>>727952271Gay men want yesbara, not nobara.
>>727952320My 6700XT red devil box doesn't mention Linux or Windows at all. Or I'm blind.
>>727952408I don't know man some gay men are after twinks
>>727952430Back of the box on system requirements.
>>727906604what amd card is worth buying
>>727952430Check for requirements.My XFX 6600XT Quicksilver says "Linux, Windows 7 and Windows 10). In contrast, my ANUS 4070S says under requirements that it needs a power supply compatible with the new melting adaptor and that's it. It doesn't list OS. Maybe it doesn't work on either Windows or Linux. Maybe they were right after with their latest driver releases.
>>727952271because there isn't much of a use case in between the security and stability of bazzite and the freedom and power of cachy
>>727923508Every indian, if given the chance, would change race in a heartbeat
>>727900696A conflict between software on my 75 inch tv and my onboard display driver bricked my mint install before I figured out to turn off literally every onboard monitor setting and framerate limiter. Nearly killed my wangblows too and I never reinstalled linux
>>727952967I don't know, I call that a middle ground.On one hand, I liked Bazzite a lot, but then I came across a few issues and it was a pain in the ass to troubleshoot. There's no reliance on fixes that are easily found everywhere.On the other hand I liked CachyOS, but it was much less straight forward with installing stuff like davinci resolve. It took me a while to get it to not crash and burn.
I'm just autistic about it and find it a bit overwhelming.
>>727928359Nvidia is now writing code in the kernel, and there's new open source drivers like nova being written by people on Nvidias payroll. It's one positive side effect of the AI boom and their own game streaming service in that they need to support Linux now. But all these drivers take time. Amds open source drivers took like 5 years before they were caught up and starting to make improvements over the proprietary drivers, and Nvidia will probably take about as long.
>>727953412But Linux is THE os for autists. There's so much to learn and get into it if you end up liking it.
>>727953836All it took was ai for nvidia to start paying attention to linux.
so linux autismos hereShould I do btrfs+ext4 /home or just dedicate the entire drive to btrfs and use a subvolume insteadI want snapshots or something that will at least give me some peace of mind. I don't want to deal with the headache that atomic distros have been for me even if that ensures more "stability". I don't know if nowadays any games still complain about being installed in btrfs.
>>727900696Man I love Linux gaming. You think you lived? Not until you tried Linux gaming!
>>727954128I have a lot to back up first, and I know windows justwerx. It's been stable for me. I'm a bit dumb when it comes to computers, there's so much I don't begin to understand, it's a very involved and entrenched thing.
>>727933060>>727934003https://github.com/dlundqvist/xone
>>727954589Don't use garbage like btrfs, don't use grabage like timeshift either. And there is no such thing as stability when erratic trannies maintain your libraries.
>>727954589I've been all-in on btrfs since I installed Fedora 41 to run a 9070XT back in March. No problems whatsoever with any of the dozens of games I tried and played since then.Whatever you do, back up everything you care about. No filesystem will protect you from a failing SSD or other disasters.
>>727955394Why?What doesn't constitute garbage to you?
>>727907341pick any of the top 10 on distrowatch. that way, when you run into issues, chances are someone else had those issues in the past and has posted a solution for them online alreadymint, cachy, endeavourOS... all are fine in that regardif you don't have the time to look into them, just pick mint. i'm hearing good things from it
Is there a list of games that DON'T work on linux?I want to switch over. I'm sick of wangblows
>>727955584Because btrfs sucks and timeshi(f)t is a cope for retarded niggers. When a tranny breaks your library and your program doesn't work, run the program inside a terminal, read the output and downgrade the library/interpreter. Doesn't work? Downgrade the program too and temporarily freeze both.>What doesn't constitute garbage to you?A statically linked operating system.
>>727955726Any game with kernel level anti cheat won't work.Outside of that, the game is very likely to work.
>>727955584ignore himhe's the sperg that tries to pretend linux is full of jeets
>>727900696shit nVidia driver
>>727955726If unsure, check your game on protondb.com
>>727954589Just go with btrfs and subvolumes. I have hard time justifying anything else these days. Both are fine for gaming, NTFS is the problem when it comes to gaming.
>>727956042>blackscreen>hecking plebbit gold saarlol, lmao even
>>727955726Unfortunately not.Because many games actually run well but haven't been reported to do so.Many games don't run so well but are under "Platinum" on Protondb.Anticheat doesn't guarantee games don't work. Though there is a website that lists most multiplayer games and their anticheat mechanisms and how compatible they are on linux (areweanticheatyet). Some of these games don't work for purely arbitrary reasons. They could flip a fucking switch and they'd be fine. Your best bet is follow game engines. Universally used engines are more likely to work. If your game is weird and unique it's less likely to. You might have more trouble running a 2006 obscure japanese pornographic game than the latest and most demanding AAA worthless piece of shit that just came out last week.Never, and I mean never, ever, trust someone who says "the only games that don't work are just anticheat ones".
>>727955726areweanticheatyet.comsingle-player games should work in 99.9% of cases, if something doesn't work out of the box, either your system is not configured or it needs additional dependencies (32-bit libraries, vcruntime and such)
>>727955616The rankings on distrowatch don't mean anything. It's just the number of times someone checked the page of a distro, so someone can make bots and shit to fake numbersLook at MX Linux for example. It's been near the top for years, yet you never hear about anyone actually using it. Fedora is lower on that list but in reality it has way more users
>>727956304they're vaguely representative, not 1:1 matches but all the top 10 distros sans mx linux show up on steam's survey
>>727955726ProtonDB is the premiere resource for that now. If a game is shown in red it probably won't work. Even games rated Brozen can work with stuff like DLL replacements. Personally I haven't come across a single game I have not working.

>>727955972>Any game But that's factually wrong, its only a handful of modern popular games. Gameguard, BattlEye, and even EAC works on linux but the catch with EAC is that its the dev's choice on whether to arbitrarily deny it or not and retarded devs who don't know any better can't get past the cognitive dissonance of half their playerbase being cheaters is also somehow the 3.2% linux total playerbase on steam.

>>727957005gpu prices will be fucked once supply runs out and storage prices will go to shit as well
>>727956930I know those anti cheat work on linux, but their linux versions are not kernel level anti cheat. They run in user space. Kernel level anti cheat in linux doesn't exist. That's the reason why developers don't want to enable it - the linux versions are actually not as good because they aren't kernel level.Don't get me wrong, I hate kernel level anti cheat and don't want it to come to linux (doubt it ever will) but this is the developer reasoning.In my opinion the best way to combat cheating is to allow people to host their own servers again. Admins running small servers can ban cheatertards a lot easier. Plus dedicated servers have lots of other benefits. Of course developers don't like that though...
>>727955384>https://github.com/dlundqvist/xoneI've tried it, it doesn't compile on newer Mint versions.
>>727957334That I can at least agree on, yeah. Dedicated servers had their own slew of problems but its also what enables games way past their prime to retain players and a community. Though that's just another reason devs hate them is because they can't shut it down and shart out GAME 2 and force everybody to buy the new one
>>727926978That's basically minus chinese and russians, two countries that don't have a culture of freedom.

>>727968517If you're complaining about Gnome then you're not wrong, you're absolutely correct. Gnome is shit. It's only a skill issue if you complain about the terminal, which is what you should be actually learning in the class.
>>727968517I agree, gnome sucks.But you want to use CLI with Linux anyway.
>>727900696Nigger faggot distro keeps fucking freezing Windows is a nigger but my fucking god Thank fuck I can mess on my laptop doing it on my desktop would drive me insane
>>727900696I am though.I refuse to use windows 11 on a PC
>>727900696I don't like penguins, that's unironically the only reason
>>727968730To be honest with you, i literally only used linux with XFCE.It is not perfect and you have to configure the fuck out of it after installing, but it's "good enough" for me.
>>727906798See you in twenty years
>>727900696because the cia gangstalkers break my shit and torment me if i try to get away from their control gridi tried to install linux and i know what im doing and couldnt cus they blocked it in my bios lol..
>>727968517All my homies hate GNOME
>>727969010The fact that mint devs dont make linux mint XFCE look like OP's pic is their problem. Its very clear the mint devs dont really care about the XFCE spin they just slap the utilities and packages on. They dont even customize it like OP so that i looks somewhat decent and resembles windows 10.
>>727969193Mint as far i remember use cinnamon, that is like gnome, but less shit than whatever the fuck ubuntu does.
>>727900696lol does not work in Linux so I have to boot into Windows
>>727969272Yea they are all in on cinnamon though I cant use it because they are taking it in the wrong direction. The mint XFCE iso they dont even scale the icons out of the box like OP. Also just in general they are following guhnome and moved to that ugly blue libadwaita color.Nemo is integrated into the file system in cinnamon you cant uninstall it. Its becoming like windows 11. If it was a good file manager I wouldnt mind, but its not. It takes 500-800ms to switch a folder and over a second to launch when thunar launches in 30ms or less and switches folders with sub 5ms.
>>727969487cinnamon fucking sucks. They still haven't fixed fractional scaling and it's been years.KDE does it just fine of course.
>>727907341Ultramarine. Debian family is slop. Linus uses fedora.
>>727963861Interesting design, just cool map geometry or something more integral to the concept?

>>727970636that's entirely down to the methodology of package delivery you wantdebian and ubuntu based distros prioritise stability but they get the slowest updatesarch based distros get the fastest updates and have more functionality and access to aur but there's a chance your shit can get fuckedfedora based shit is like ubuntu but with faster updates and slightly less stability
Because I'm not trans
>>727922739Reminder that linuxfags said gaming on Linux was fine until Valve developed Proton
>>727970636XFCE is the definitive best basic lightweight desktop that resembles windows 7, but linux distro devs with mental illness are abandoning it for gayland.All because some retards need HDR that 98% of the worlds population doesnt use or some retard that bought two monitors of different brands and different refresh rates on purpose. They are willing to throw ALL this away just to have these two features and a functionally broken display manager.
>>727971236The fuck we did. Pretty much everything said pre-proton was "Some games can work but don't count on it without massive tinkering."
>>727971254i have an oled and hdr is a memestill using wayland because i wasn't retarded enough to buy nvidia :^)
>>727971254>some retard that bought two monitors of different brands and different refresh rates on purpose.I got a new monitor and throwing the old one away seemed like a waste.Anyways what's the problem with dual monitors with different refresh rates/resolutions?>different brandsThat shouldn't be an issue
>>727970636Compositor you are using will dictate which DE you are able to use.KrashingDestopEnvioremnt is alright if you have resources to run it and it has the best Wayland support at the moment.Try different things, you can change DE at any moment.
>>727971254>All because some retards need HDR that 98% of the worlds population doesnt use or some retard that bought two monitors of different brands and different refresh rates on purposeI run 3 monitors from different brands with 3 different rates just fine on X11 funny enough.
>>727971236People who said that:
>>727971742Mixed refresh rates on x11 has been wonky. It works best if you limit refresh rates to a factor of the other monitor 1:1 2:1 120hz:60hz. Most newer features on xorg have been weird hacks that only kind of work, multi monitor support itself was a weird hack that only kind of works. All of these features were built in from the beginning in the wayland protocol. Wayland protocols have just been bike shedding on the stuff you never think of until you don't have it. Like how clipboards are supposed to work
>>727966326>i d-didnt fall for the meme distro OKAYhave fun when something major breaks and it becomes apparent each of those is run by zoomers who have no idea what they're doin lol. you are going to lose everything

>>727900696>I'm not gaming on Linux.
>>727906603PoE2 gets better performance on CachyOS with nvidia than it did for me on windows 10 lol
But I AM gaming on Linux
>>727975891>gaming>browsing 4chinlet's see them gaems
>>727962038game stutters like a bitch and becomes literally unplayable after the first area
>>727969193Which distro has the best XFCE config out of the box?
>>727976549Aight, bet
I just installed a new SSD so I can have a dual boot. Only reason I am keeping a windows installation is because no one has created a remotely decent alternative to Magpie (fuck you gamescope and lsfg-vk for only supporting fsr and framegen respectively). Hopefully my experience with an Nvidia card won't be too horrible. Went with Nobara because I've had good experiences with Fedora in the past.
>>727976775Mint XFCE is the best definitive Linux XFCE experience for a windows 10 like experience but on linux. There was zorinOS lite but they discontinued for no reason despite it being slow bloated guhnome with wayland.The only downside is the mint XFCE iso comes like pic related which is super ugly because the mint devs dont want to put even a minute of effort to tweak the XFCE4 XML files to look something like OP's screenshot and package that with the installer, so you HAVE to customize it. It would literally take 1 minute to do this but I guess they just don't care about their distro looking good.But everything is a just werks out of the box it has software manager, updater and driver manager for nvidia with blue tooth support.I should create my own distro with the forked mint software updater, software manager but its a big undertaking.
How does the 'eck do its instant sleep and wake and how do I replicate it?
>>727977530I don't know why they don't have the XFCE start menu set to a dark theme out of the box. It's like they ship it like this to make Cinnamon look better or something
>>727977148Gamescope supports a subset of reshade shaders (no depth buffer at the very least), and for video playback you can use shaders directly in mpv without additional software.
>>727978172Yeah neither of those support NV upscaling.
>>727978018They just dont care about the XFCE/MATE editions. All they care about is cinnamon and the mainline edition.XFCE/MATE are for people who are traditionalist so they just throw the mint-meta package and add these desktops and release it without any tweaking. Its really shoddy work and I dont want to use their distro if its not going to have first class support for XFCE/X11.For example regular people want a system tray like OP's screen shot where the icons are small, concise and look nice similar to windows 10, and a time menu that shows the time in AM/PM and the date in a concise readable method. They can do this in 1 minute but choose not to.Also in general I think the new libadwaita changes are pretty ugly with the blue tint to the grey theme now, It looks more bluish than dark grey when before it looked more like adwaita-dark/windows 10. They honestly just needed to change the colors to a darker grey pallete and thats it.Also the main dev of linux mint, clem, doesnt even use the theming changes he pushed on everyone, he uses something similar to OP, a blackish/darkish adwaita themed desktop.
>>727978474>and add these desktops and release it without any tweakingDefault XFCE absolutely does not look like Mint's XFCEInstall Debian with XFCE and you'll what the default config actually looks like

>>727962540How f do I make btop display my gpu
>>727979492Check readme, on amd you need some rocm-related package.
>>727980295Yeah, already followed the steps, got the rocm packages. Should I just uninstall it and recompile btop from scratch?
>>727980378For me, rocm from package manager picked up GPU after restarting it after package was installed. If you compiled it yourself, then you need to rebuild with gpu support enabled.
>>727980479>rocm from package manager*btop
>>727979362I mistyped, I meant VN upscaling

raw or virtualized linux?

As a pirate chad, how do I play my games on Linux Mint?
>>727991608step 1: load unpacked .exe into lutris like you were going to install itstep 2: play
>>727991608Step 1. Download games from steamrip, gog-gamesStep 2. Install heroic flatpakStep 3. Extract pirated games to /home/$USER/Games/Heroic folder so heroic flatpak can see themStep 4. Click Add game, Add them in as a windows .exe game and click the .exe in the folder and Fill out the name formStep 5. Press play Note, some games do not work without certain microsoft redistributables, drivers and such so you may need to right click the game, go to settings, winetricks and winetricks gui to add them. For example binding of Issac: Rebirth specifically needs openAL otherwise it will not launch. This is one area where steam's platform is superior, because they test and bundle mostly all the requirements to play a game.
>>727991608step 0: install kvm
