Is you specifically want a wayland compositor like hyprland, you can try sway or qtile. I’ve also heard good things about river but never used it myself.

This pretty much sums up the pcmasterrace community and i ended up leaving because of it.

Well wayland doesn’t work for me yet so… 🤷‍♂️

It started with me being creeped out with all the privacy settings everytime i reinstalled windows 10, wanting my fricking handwriting data and all that, then i saw a LTT video from anthony where he talked about trying linux instead of windows 11, and seeing previous LTT videos about gaming becoming doable on linux. I had tried linux before as a kid on my laptop, ubuntu and linux mint, but i didn’t really get it at the time. I decided to follow anthony’s recommendation and tried pop os. I was impressed with how far linux had come with playing games, but i also didn’t realize how usable linux was in general for a desktop user. I quickly went down the rabbithole after that because i really liked how customizable linux was, so i went to arch linux, i ended becoming a tiling window manager user, making some simple scripts, running windows virtualized with single gpu passthrough, and now i’ve been using void linux for a few months. I’m really happy LTT made those videos cause otherwise i wouldn’t be here now.

You’re out of a master, i’m out of legs.

Ah, that’s unfortunate, was worth a shot.

Are you using wayland by any chance? Freesync was also causing flickering when i was trying out wayland recently, so i guess i’ll be staying on xorg lol.

I’m confused by this as well.

I’m one of the 5 poor sobs who still plays darkorbit, and someone on github made a linux native launcher available as an appimage. I don’t recommend playing it though, because aside from the community becoming smaller and smaller, the game also runs like ass even on a high end system (not because of the unofficial app, but because of the game itself), and it has this issue with it taking up more and more ram over time, and it has been like that for over a decade now. Also a lot of server issues lately. The devs don’t seem very interested in improving the game.

If you’re willing to risk it and just try it out first with the old PSU then i would definitely try that first. I have the same PSU as you and i recently upgraded to a 6950xt. So far it’s been running just fine even though AMD recommends a bigger power supply. I was also using a sapphire nitro+ vega 64 before this, which was also quite power hungry when overclocked and never had any issues. I’m not sure how much power a 7900xt draws though.

Absolute madlad running a full libre distro.

I think you have to start the game with some arguments to enable ray tracing. Atleast that’s what i had to do to enable ray tracing in cyberpunk. Game crashed instantly after i turned it on though lol.

The launcher hasn’t worked in over a year for me, it just refuses to log in. I think from what i ended up reading on reddit recently that it’s an mtu issue, but changing mtu also didn’t do anything. I might have to change something in a config file but i didn’t want to bother going through the trouble to get their stupid launcher working. I don’t really play their games anyway. Most of the games on my account are games that they gave away for free.

Single gpu passthrough with qemu vm, ez.

Probably not the worst way but breaking the bootloader is definitely annoying.

Seems to be some variation of gruvbox

I mean, it seems like Nvidia barely even cares about gamers in general anymore, let alone linux users.

Yeah that’s what i use mostly now

I love the fact that stallman adressed this copypasta on the GNU website.

i really like ventoy, but when i tried to install fedora a few months ago it wouldn’t work for some reason. I switched back to just flashing one iso at a time now through the recommended way since i usually don’t need more than one iso anyway.
