Because it does suck, but it's necessary since we structured our society so that we sit around 90% of the time rather than naturally exercising by walking around all day.

Yes I am using KDE mainly because gnome felt too mac os to me. Also KDE supports HDR (somewhat).

Is there a way to change distro without losing steam installs?

Not an external drive, just my second nvme

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! I plan on keeping Linux on my second drive to continue playing around with it, but my gaming will probably go back to Windows. Might give bazzite or popos a try next.

Are you sharing steam library with windows? Why would you have an ntfs partition?

The stuttering is probably the compatibility layer, it doesn't do it in helldivers, for instance. So I think it's game specific

Thanks for the Hdr link. I have enabled it for desktop but didn't realize steam was different.

For the brightness, HDR is enabled, but it seems like it "forgets" what brightness is supposed to be until I wiggle the slider. And every time I boot the pc the brightness needs to be at a different number to match my non HDR monitor. Probably just growing pains with a beta feature, I would guess.

Funny enough, helldivers was a game I didn't have a problem with haha

Thanks for the reply.

My main issue is stuttering with baldur's gate 3 and elden ring, both performing worse than their windows equivalent installations. Also I got HDR working in the desktop with KDE plasma, but the option just isn't available in games.

Finally, the brightness on my monitor seems to be all over the place.

For now I plan on keeping Linux on one of my drives (maybe try another distro, or just stick to less demanding games) and using Windows for AAA games.

It's a wireless Logitech with a little USB dongle. It works from the bios so I wasn't sure what was up with that.

Sorry I can't do it. (self.linux_gaming)
 

I've been working on converting my gaming PC to Linux for a few weeks, but everything is running, but it all is just a little jankier than I would like.

I have an 8th gen Intel i7 and an Rtx 2070, running Arch linux.

Sometimes I boot up and my mouse doesn't work and I have to restart. Sometimes I launch games and they just don't launch right.

It feels like I'm doing a lot of work for no benefit. In fact, Elden ring runs way worse on my Linux partition than my Windows partition.

I've tried GE proton, gamemode, steam compatibility, everything... I'm sorry but I'm going to have to stick with Windows for gaming.

What are some gaming podcasts that people like to listen to? I personally really enjoy The Besties, but I'm always looking for recommendations.
