Oh no, not another tranny thread
cyberpunktf2csgoffxivtekken 7I'm getting tired, man.none of it is fulfilling anymore, csgo for me just boils down to wanting to shoot people in the head
Considering trying to make an Arch machine since M$ is getting more shit but I don't want to give up my games, art programs, or other insanity. I've played with Kali for school and work a little bit, so I know my way around a CLI, but how good/bad of an idea is using BlackArch as my gaming and work rig?
>>638375519>games>linux
>>638374728Yeah mangohud is great for that, paired with wayland and dxvk to disable ingame vsync. Perfect frames always on time.
>>638376561Go on?
>>638376206>BlackArchNever heard of it. Don't use rolling release unless you boot up every couple of days minimum.>work>archAs a new user you're almost inevitably going to break something, don't start out with arch.
>>638376639Personally I use mangohud in every game with>fps_limit_method=latein .config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf. Technically that option prefers lower latency over perfect frametimes, but kde wayland usually gives me perfect 8.3/16.6ms frametimes even with>force lowest latencyenabled in system settings -> display and monitor -> compositor. I think gnome has a similar low latency wayland mode. Then combine that with >d3d9.presentInterval = 0>dxgi.syncInterval = 0in dxvk.conf to globally force disable ingame vsync in all dx9-11 games. I have a single dxvk.conf that I point all games to with the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE env var, but dxvk will also automatically look for a dxvk.conf in the same directory as the game executable.The only downside when fps limiting with mangohud is that you need to set multiple fps limits e.g.>fps_limit=120,60,0and toggle between them ingame depending on performance and if >60 breaks stuff. Also dxvk and magohud can't do anything about ingame fps limiters, which theoretically have the lowest latency.

>>638376206Don't listen to >>638376686 he's a faggotThrow yourself into the deep end and learn how to swim, you'll probably break something but trying to fix these problems is how you learnI will say though, I wouldn't recommend using blackarch since it's moreso a hacker distroIf you really want to use photoshop or play shit like valorant, you'll have to learn virtual machinesotherwise accept it as a necessary sacrifice in getting rid of microshartit's as good as you make it, so it's better that than wasting time distrohopping

>>638377902Just use a normal distro (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc) and it won't be complicatedIt's only complicated if you make it complicated or use a meme distro from /g/

>>638373985The last one I played to completion was Dusk. Quite enjoyable. Though I usually just go and play on a console.

>>638378257I'm literally telling you to use Gnome and spend zero hours getting it to work
>>638378150>>638378219You can also use DXVK itself as a frame limiter. Just export DXVK_FRAME_RATE="something" as an env var or in lutris per game options or steam commands. It uses the same method as mangohud on late. Personally though I like being able to toggle the cap ingame.
>>638377849>Photoshophttps://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linuxgranted it's still a bit jank and some layer effect values like dodges seem reversed for some reason

>>638378541>it only took them several yearsBut what if someone had to put in slightly less effort to cheat on the dead game? Seriously, kernel anticheat doesn't work.
>>638378357Why would you recommend gnome? KDE is the just werks windows clone DE. Gnome is an unholy mixture of mac and win10+ implemented by contrarian retards.
>>638378769Okay fine use KDEIt doesn't matter, just use any pre packaged DE and it'll be basically indistinguishable from windows unless you fuck it up

>>638378257You can download new desktop environments whenever you want. Thinking you have to switch distros because you dislike how your current distro looks is a noob mistake.That said if you don't want to go through the trouble of setting up Arch you can just use Archinstall or download Opensuse with KDE Plasma. I think Opensuse might have the best KDE, it's so sad that Zypper is slow as balls so I can't say it's completely better than Arch.

>>638382016I wish I made the switch earlier, 10 has been nothing but a pain in the ass. And that was after sanitizing the iso with a script to keep it less uncivilized, can't imagine how much more maddening it gets on factory settings.

>>638382016Same boat. Finally installed Linux Mint last weekend on an old laptop to test the waters. Still need to find out how the file system works, and what sort of files run natively and what doesn't. >muh weeb gaymes
Everything runs super smooth and buttery on Linux. For Honor, Battlefield 1, TF2, hell even StarCraft 2. Although kinda sucks that everything they ask me to sudo apt update everyday as I'm using Kubuntu, I have to switch between experimental And 8.02. Is that normal? Other than that, everything works super smooth. going to try other games soon.
>>638378541Yeah, I been playing it's on steam. Minus the annoying update your driver's Ubisoft notification, it's easily smooth as Nutella, I could tell a huge difference between windows and Linux. Linux wins wayyyyy by the long shot. Actually might record on YouTube of my gameplay to show linux does work on FH.

>>638392191>learning new distro is hardjust atop being retardedall Linux distros work in the same way or at least in very similar waysdesktop environments look a bit different and maybe you have to use different package manager, that is about ityes, you are free to be extremely retarded and use Alpine Linux and i3 on bare metal as your first Linux, but don't expect people to help you with the clusterfuck that you chose to use instead of a normal distro
>>638393020>all Linux distros work in the same wayLie.They don't even use the same GUI.
>>638392104Unless you want to be held hostage by Microsoft, you'll eventually have to either have to deal with browsers dropping support for Windows 7.Like it or not, the choice between subscription-based walled gardens and janky FOSS is coming up fast.
Got Hunt Showdown because it works now with EAC and to my surprise I'm having fun. So far I didn't like any of the battle royal games but this one clicked with me. It's like playing cowboy and indians with all that sneaking around and shit.Only bummer is that it krashes my gpu from time to time.
>>638393309>you got to choose between shit and shitNope.Fuck you.I won't chose shit.
I'm interested switching to linux. However, the last time I attempted I had input lag issues. I would like to get the absolute lowest latency as possible. Any suggestions to achieve this?

>>638393891You could try the realtime-patched kernel. But really if you were able to notice 'issues' in the past there was probably something wrong and you would be better served by finding and fixing it rather than fucking around with shit like that.

>>638397053>programs don't work>just use different programs, because why have one GUI-API when you can have several like mentally ill retards that think there are more than 2 genders.
Hat WorldIt took me a while to figure out I could just use gamemode to make these retarded RPG Maker engine games display full screen without becoming a blurry mess. I've been relying on dgVoodoo for this job before but that won't work for RPG Maker games.
>>638373985Emulated games and old ones specifically, some indie ones with native ports like pic related "no one lives under the lighthouse", but not really many recent games.Waiting for Stardew Valley 1.6 update to play it again.

>>638401159>So any Windows equivalent of Valve's gamescope? On Linux this is brilliant.You can use GPU driver software to get integer scaling. Any other features you need? The only two things I ever used GamesCope for was the scaling and to prevent games from dying when losing focus. The latter is almost always a Wine bug.
>>638373985Just finished OoT on the PC port.It's pretty good but I don't see what the hype is all about. Link's Awakening was better imo.Now emulating Golden Axe Warrior.
I left Arch for a gutted custom ISO of Windows 11, I have failed my autistic brothers.
>>638403293>You can use GPU driver software to get integer scaling.Can this prevent the game from messing with your main resolution? Can this give proper alt tab for older games?

>>638373985On Windows Yakuza Kiwami hits like 50% GPU usage to do 4K144Hz on 4090 at like 200W power draw but when I tested it on Linux it used almost 100% and the GPU hits 410W. BOTH were locked to 144 via v-sync (Linux calls it FIFO because that's technically what v-sync is) btw, on Linux the framerate wasn't unlocked.Arch, X11, latest proprietary nvidia drivers, default Proton version.Nothing convinced me that Loonix gaming is a massive meme as quickly as this quick test.
>>638425691That's nice. Go play your slow game on your slop os then and leave us the fuck alone.
I get people who use Android over iPhones because there are things that you can do on Android like file system access and emulators but there's no benefit of wasting time with Linux over Windows or macOS.I get wanting to spite Microshit for making Windows shittier with each version and making it worse for power users but in the process you're just doing more work for yourself.I guess if you only ever use your system for browsing the web and a bunch of apps that have native Linux version it's fine but for gaming Linux is pretty retarded unless you have an ancient laptop where Windows CPU overhead lowers your performance.

>>638434952I was thinking of swapping back to x11 and using i3 in an attempt to get my input latency as low as possible for CounterStrike2Wayland is great, but the input delay is a huge problem if you're taking multiplayer games even somewhat seriously it's a huge disadvantage
>>638434952Not yet. My main reason is a really weird edge case. My mouse (Logitech MX Master 3) has a high-resolution scroll wheel and libinput is kinda shit at supporting that, I get both missed scrolls and double scrolls with it and the only way to avoid it without breaking everything or having to manually patch all my shit is to use an outdated version of xf86-input-libinput that forces it to use a legacy path without high res support. There's no toggle to use that manually, only using Xorg with an outdated version of the libinput xorg driver works.
>>638434952i have nvidia so ive avoided it i prefer xfce anyway and they dont even support it yet
>>638435825You made an issue for this, right?
Obviously something extremely autistic
>>638434952No. I can't get my drawing tablet to work properly on wayland.

Is there any meaningful latency/nicrease in stutters from having your mesa shader cache on ssd and your game install on another?>>638434952KDE wayland is better than I thought, but still shockingly unstable. Even when it's stable, it'll be a sidegrade. Both wayland and xorg have issues with VRR and vsync.

>>638436454I use a Huion Kamvas on KDE with opentabletdriver. No matter what I tried the cursor was always in the wrong spot when I used my pen. I also had problems with hydrus network where windows popped up in the center instead of to the side.
>>638436140No because when I discovered the issue someone else had already reported it. I haven't followed it actively but every time I try to upgrade the driver the issue persists.But recalling this issue I looked it up again and apparently an option to disable high-res scrolling has been added since then in the xf86-input-libinput driver. I guess I could finally update it but I'll still be forced to use Xorg because libinput itself doesn't have a simple toggle for it.https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/666https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-libinput/-/issues/39
>>638434952kde still doesn't have mouse gestures under wayland and i doubt we'll actually get them since i think i'm the only guy that uses them
>>638437208>I use a Huion Kamvas on KDE with opentabletdriverWhich one? I have a Kamvas 16 2.5K and OpenTabletDriver wouldn't work for me despite it supposedly being supported so I'm stuck with the proprietary driver.
>>638436607Shader cache should just load when you boot the game

>>638437520The 22 plus. Did you try any of these? https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/FAQ/Linux
>>638438017Yeah, nothing helped. The tablet just isn't getting picked up by the diver at all.I'll probably fuck around with it again some time soon as the proprietary driver is pretty shitty when it comes to anything that isn't just the drawing function of the pen.
>>638438406If it's supposed to be supported but doesn't work, open a bug report
Is there a way to make gamescope do aspect ratio correction?I'm running a game with>gamescope -w 320 -h 200 -W 1600 -H 1200 -n -f --and it's still filling the entire 16:10 (1920x1200) screen instead of pillarboxing to 4:3.Yes, I know 320x200 is a 16:10 resolution, hence aspect ratio correction.
>>638441362That sounds more like a monitor issue than gamescope, you're asking for a 4:3 resolution from a 16:10 screen. I have a couple of monitors and only one of them has letter-/pillarboxing support without fucking up the aspect ratio.
>>638442352Thanks for the idea; I hadn't tried my monitor's aspect control setting. It has "full", "4:3" and "overscan" options. Unfortunately, I just tried it, and the 4:3 option was not available, so I don't think the monitor is actually getting a 4:3 signal. Meanwhile, if I use>gamescope -w 320 -h 200 -W 1600 -H 1200 -n -b --for borderless window instead of fullscreen, gamescope does make a borderless 4:3 (1600x1200) window, but then the game's graphics in that window are still 16:10 (i.e. scaled down to 1600x1000 instead of filling the whole 1600x1200).A similar thing happens if I change my display resolution to 1600x1200, then change the monitor's aspect control setting to 4:3 to get a pillarboxed 4:3 desktop, and then run the game with>gamescope -w 320 -h 200 -W 1600 -H 1200 -n -f --as before. The game's graphics are still effectively 1600x1000 instead of 1600x1200.So it seems like gamescope just doesn't want to make non-square pixels, which is disappointing. Oh well.I should mention that I'm not using the latest gamescope — I built an older version because the latest requires a version of wayland-server not offered by Linux Mint's package manager — but I'm not aware of the latest version having added any features related to aspect ratio control.
>>638443743I managed to get an old lowres japanese directx 3 game running under gamescope by with "gamescope -f -i -n" only. Don't know if this helps.
>>638443743Why do you want to stretch your game

>>638434318Adobe should be included. Maybe proprietary languages too like MATLAB, which GNU Octave directly tries to replace.
>>638444443I don't want to stretch the game; I want to un-stretch it. Old games that run at 320x200 were generally designed to be displayed in 4:3.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvckyWxHAIwScummVM has an aspect ratio correction option for exactly this reason. DOSBox can do this aspect ratio correction as well. What I was trying to run is actually a source port of a DOS game, Rise of the Triad, and this port still renders in 320x200, but doesn't do any aspect ratio correction to 4:3 outside of 640x480 and 800x600 modes which look like crap because they're not integer scaling. So I wanted gamescope to scale the 320x200 mode to 1600x1200, which would be pixel-perfect and look fine if only it worked.>>638444925I'm not Ross but he's pretty based.
>>638446002incomprehensively based

Nothing because TotK came out and I have a switch. Before that it was Morrowind.
>>638447167Looks like the same, not a bad idea to bump it with your usecase though, discussing given they you want to go the opposite. He wants to distort the image by forcing the aspect ratio and you want to unstick it
>>638447546I'm also playing it on the switch, I'm not liking the game

Just finished the new Amnesia demo. Works perfectly out of the box which is hardly surprising anymore. It's strange though, I replayed the first Amnesia game for the first time in a decade a couple of months ago and didn't find it all that scary, but at some point while playing the game I had to pause the game and ask deliberate on whether I had the stomach to continue playing. Something about this game that other Frictional games didn't have is just pants shittingly terrifying to me

>>638454758https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/1/4739473745777611857/ looks like dx12 isn't new, so hard to say what's up if you yourself didn't change it. It's not impossible a vkd3d update might have introduced bugs so it might be worth checking a previous proton version + dx12 to see if the issue is still there
>>638455146I tried multiple older and newer proton versions and the problem is still thereI'll stop poking around before I end up breaking anythingStill pretty weird though
>>638448735If the car can do a bunch of bullshit without your permission then you don't own it. Even if its fully paid off, you still don't actually own it when the manufacturer can disable it or send it away on a whim.This is just like that IoT air conditioner that didn't let the consumer change the temperature on their own thermostat.

I like Linux because it brings the fun back to using a computer. As someone who plays video games, gnome-pie being very similar to a weapon wheel in video games is a familiar and comforting way to interface with my computer that windows just doesn't have. Learning linux is like learning a really engrossing RPG where you figure out how stats work and shit to minmax a build (which non-abstracted into a metaphor would be "making the best rice on the most efficient system navigation methods")If I, a non-techy person, can learn linux, and these winfags cannot, they must be completely retarded.>NOOOO BUT TERMINALYou have to be a fucking zoomer who never grew up with GMod or source engine games or idtech games like quake 3 to be unfamiliar with a console, hell, this is why I use yakuake as a terminal sometimes, it's familiar. but even then there are several distros that never need terminal usage at all, so I don't know what these retards are complaining about unless they haven't actually used linux in the past 10 years.

The integer scaling option is actually unnecessary in this particular case, because upscaling the 800x600 game to my 1920x1200 monitor will naturally upscale it by exactly 2x, but I already got used to typing "-fin" because those are the options I generally want. The nearest-neighbor filtering is important though, because otherwise it looks like blurry shit (see image).

Why do people on here end up being so genuinely put off by the idea of people playing games on linux?Feels like every time this thread crops up, the same people have to crawl out of the woodwork to angrily screech about the very notion that someone might use linux in such a way.Why is it wrong for someone like me to use an operating system I'm more comfortable with to play games?

I don't use troonix software, shrimple as.
>>638479721Let me know when I need to memorize the Linux graphics oversight board (what do they even do?) members' pronouns in order to play video games on Linux.
After fucking around with nobara for an afternoon I'm blown away how many games run better than Linux than on windows. Game changer for laptop shit.
>>638456426Well, HPL engine had Linux support day 1 (Penumbra was one of the few Linux games I could play back in the day in the 2000s)the fact that Frictional ditched native for proton says a lot about how much they trust proton
>>638479721Rosenzweig's work is good (as expected from a tranny programmer), but the board doesn't matter. Valve is single-handedly dictating the future of the Linux desktop and dragging GNOME/Redhat, KDE, AMD, Intel and Nvidia kicking and screaming. The "board" doesn't matter - just the people Gabe is paying to work on the graphics stack.
>>638479721I hope you're not using Windows then.
