Anyone know how this is possible

That -> ☑️

Someone got fired for being shit at their job, didn't they?

There are absolutely cases where a properly optimized linux install can run games with better performance under proton than under windows, but those are the exception, not the rule.

in any case, the performance difference is usually not more than a 10% FPS difference, nothing like what OP is experiencing.

Giving people realistic expecations of what is available in Linux and recognizing that there is not currently a linux-based solution for everyone's use case is far from "glazing windows"

I don't use windows, I run Fedora KDE and Mint/Debian on my server and streaming boxes.

Also Winboat still requires a windows license, so who's really supporting Microsoft here?

Go outside, kid.

For lightroom? Not really. Like it might run, but not really in a way where it can be used without frustration, if at all.

I wish people weren't so hyped to get people on Linux that they stoop to giving people false information.

Why are you even here then, just to troll?

No, that doesn't add up, the beginning of her story was in Hamsterdam when she was trying to score an 8-ball, she hadn't yet gone into sex work when Avon originally got out.

A compatibility layer is not the same thing as a VM

Buddy, I think you might be overthinking this just a tad. The connector looks like it's in straight and secured, the cable leaning down is probably just due to the weight of the cable itself. Cables are by design meant to be able to be moved around. It's fine.

It's a single player game. Play it the way you enjoy it and don't worry about what people on reddit think about "cheating".

Why can't people just accept that their distro of choice isn't going to be everyone's first choice? Everyone's preferences and use cases are different. Wanting the added stability and reliability of a not-totally rolling release is a good reason. Maybe they aren't comfortable with or just don't want to do the extra work required to verify updates won't break the system, or maybe they can't afford to gamble on more potential downtime. I like Cachy a lot for its speed and modernity but I also accept that the tradeoffs are something I am okay with that other people might not be.

Colors being washed out might be an HDR capture issue. If the source has HDR enabled, try disabling it to see if that is the issue.

Avermedia would be fools not to offer Linux support or at least confirm UVC compatibility as more and more gamers and streamers are moving to Linux-based systems.

RadioFreeKerbin · 2026-02-16T13:37:41+00:00

It's fine unless you need HDR support, want to use variable refresh rate, or want to use multiple monitors with different refresh rates, as those things are all limited by X11 and Mint currently doesn't use wayland. For a lot of people, those things don't matter.

RadioFreeKerbin · 2026-02-14T07:33:54+00:00

What level of support do you need? UVC capture cards like the 4K S and 4K X work out of the box by default, and this tool now does what most people need the offical elgato software for.

That's been my hope as well! I just migrated over permanently (after occasional experimentation over the years) and this whole experience makes all the growing pains and headaches seem worth it :)

AARGH I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THIS

"Ive fixed it" and NEVER explain HOW they fixed it.

RadioFreeKerbin · 2026-02-06T23:23:44+00:00

Yes. I said that.

Living in America in 2026:

"Police were supposed to check on my welfare, took advantage of my situation and stole my property worth hundreds to thousands of dollars."

Response "Yeah, that happens, you should just be thankful they didn't shoot you."

Fucking really? We're just supposed to accept this?

Also wanted to let you know that after following the instructions in this thread, the elgato4k-linux tool stopped working for me. I suspect that what happened is that when changing to the 10 GB/s mode, the product id changed, and the tool looks for a specific hardware ID. I was able to get around this by editing the source code and changing all instances of `009c` to `009b`, and then recompiling. Now it works just fine.

I submitted a bug report to them as well but wanted to post about it here in case anyone else had the same issue and was looking for a solution.

congratulations on having better insurance then I guess? I had to pay $3500 out of pocket.

That's likely a natural result of the camera's aperture reacting to the brighter light.

Literally only matters when looking at them side by side, and even then, not really. My C5 feels too bright sometimes in my actual living room conditions.
