It’s not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too....

Hi y’all, i used to be so prolific at the whole pc building thing. but now i’m out of the game with age and not buying stuff in a while. so here’s my question:...

I wrote here earlier about being unable to turn off my microphone. My headset had a removable mike. So in the end in order to fix it I just unplugged the mike....

I feel this happens to everyone. Buy a PC, be happy that it’s better than what it replaces, then after a few years get annoyed that’s slow....

It could just he me but I feel that people can only blame their gear so long before they should admit that they’re getting outplayed. At the same time, it’s strange how those some people will scream their chest out or slam on those keys to rage out on everyone else like they’re big and tough.

I have a triple monitor setup right now, but am thinking of trying a single ultrawide monitor. What is your preference?

Any one use an AsRock N100M? Whats idle power consumption on it like?...

Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming....

Wondering if my next upgrade should be an OLED screen or not. It looks amazing, but how is the current compatability with Linux these days? Anyone with one of these sexy screens that would like to share their experiences?...

I finished my first build a few months ago, put fedora workstation on it, everything’s been great so far, but there are a few games I have and love which don’t work, or are incredibly unstable. so I’m looking for a small, let’s say 256gb SSD, to dual boot with windows for those games as well as creative work with...

I was troubleshooting Bluetooth connection today and I thought that this is somehow related to software (PipeWire, bluez, bluetoothd and all that stuff). But no. Apparently Bluetooth barely works when WiFi antenna is disconnected from my ASUS motherboard....

The “startup repair” Macrium offers is garbage and won’t even load, so while I have all my data, I don’t have an OS…...

I’ve had my index for a year or two now, I’ve got both desktop and my beefy AF laptop that I play it on, but both are still super janky. The laptop is actually better for it believe it or not but I still get some hiccups here and there....

And can you disable it?

I know Nvidia has a reputation for being bad with Linux. Is it better now? And most of all, what would be the best GPU for modern gaming on Linux (any distro)?

I’m currently on an MSI GF65 Thin 9SEXR. It has a 9th gen core i5, 8GB RAM, and a geforce rtx2060 graphics card. While it’s been a great daily driver for several years now, it’s definitely starting to show it’s age with newer games and such....

Hey folks, I’ve got two 1920x1080 monitors that are connected to my PC (with a 1070TI) via DP->HDMI cables. I’ve recently purchased a Dock (DELL wd22tb4) for my work laptop and want to use the same monitors. My monitors have hdmi and dvi inputs (let’s ignore the vga)....

Aside from fps, is there any difference in quality of raytracing in Nvidia and AMD or is it the same(like they say that DLSS is better than FSR)?

I know this is a low budget •_•"...

This is a bit of a mea culpa from me....

If so, I’d love some pictures for inspiration. Bonus points if it’s a corner or L desk.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a mini PC with specific features....

OK, so my first NVME was a cheap Kingston 2 TB drive. Not very good. So I just bought a new WD Black SN850X. tried doing a fresh install of windows. didn’t work. said ‘fuck it’ and cloned my Kingston to the WD....

I’m not sure where else to go with this, sorry if this isn’t the right place....
