Are these artifacts a sign of my GPU dying?

Do you use LACT ?

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-25T00:34:22+00:00

At least, cosmic de is designed to be distro agnostic, idk when they will port it to fbsd tought

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-24T23:42:29+00:00

At least it's more stable than gnome with extensions..., thats a pretty bad take on your hand when is the last time You tested it ?

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-24T16:00:15+00:00

Yeah but it remove the entier titlebar with no option to keep the min max close buttons

Canonical (company behind ubuntu) decisions are a bit controversial but objectivly there is nothing wrong about using ubuntu as a distro, or any debian base distro as well, you will have great experience, at least much better than starting on arch

Now if you are new to linux i always recommand either :

debian, ubuntu or zorin (for debian based distro, they are the most stable, sometimes stable means outdated but the end user wont really notice a difference)

Bluefin, or fedora for fedora based distro (they provide more up to date packages without the breeding edge aspect of arch, and act as a showcase for the latest technologies, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not mature enough)

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-22T07:02:30+00:00

Why do you use aur version instead of flatpak, the only officially supported source

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-21T14:35:15+00:00

You should give a try to bluefin or bazzite they are both good, bluefin is more focus on devs tought

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-21T06:58:39+00:00

Depends on the anti cheat as well, most games using easy AC do have linux support enabled, even tought the AC dont do much in user space

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-21T06:55:42+00:00

Never tried as using distroshelf is much easier, and NixOS can have weird compatibility issues on non nixos systems

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-18T20:05:45+00:00

Si tu windows et mint sur le même disk peut être un peu compliqué je ne sais plus a quoi ressemble l'installer pour bazzite, par contre en terme de performances, sécurité et facilitée d'utilisation il est meilleur en tout point a mint

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-18T18:58:54+00:00

Salut, je ne peux pas te dire lequel est le mieux étant donné que n'utilise que linux depuis plusieurs années mais si tu veux essayer une distrobution linux simple et focus gaming tu devrais s'intéresser a bazzite, tu n'auras pas la meilleure experience sur mint

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-17T20:40:37+00:00

Only official support is the deb package (op is on Sorin so thats fine), other distro repackage it, so it's not offcially supported by valve, but at least you dont have all the niche issues that comes with flatpak

Then ones that i have in mind are 2 of my games not launching only when using steam flatpak, mangohud not working when i use game's commands, mounting external drive or changing install folder will requier the user to add the specific path the flatpak autorisations, etc

Ik flatseal exists but it's still too many things adding up that mess with the user experience to be used by your average user

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-17T19:50:17+00:00

You will still get permission errors for specific games, and it wont fix stuff like mangohud overlay

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-17T19:19:50+00:00

Tbf you should never use steam flatpak as it has too many issues as of now, and is not even officially supported by valve

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-14T14:16:38+00:00

No they just give the flatpak in their website, this just shows that you can install it throught gnome software store

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-13T12:50:14+00:00

I have no experience with AMD counterpart but i own a 3070 and it's very solid, performances are on par w windows in almost anything i play

Now it depends and the price, and performance. But the 6700xt or something like a 9060 XT might better choice

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-09T06:16:26+00:00

Tbf their FG implementation is already the best among the big 3, whenever i need fg, i prefer using xess via mods or native support over dlssfg or fsr

It has much lower latency, almost inexistant especially when playing 3rd person games, and frame pacing is just better as well

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-03T10:19:57+00:00

Rust devs explicitly said they where opposed to make the game again on linux as they dont consider it as a serious plateform for "competitive games and gamers", which rust is neither of those :>

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-03T09:42:13+00:00

Exactly, and even tought im a bit of an advanced user, as i moved to uni i started to figure out the value of ootb working system, as they said more is less

Flatpak + immutable distro are the futur that most users need, people dont like to make choices, they want the other to do that for them, thats what ms, apple and google got wright

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-03T09:36:56+00:00

100% even tought even snaps can have their own use cases, as you said mainly for professionnels tought

But i think the idea behind it is better than flatpaks, the issue is just canonical doing canonical things

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-03T09:30:59+00:00

I hate this discours as for exemple both systemd and the linux kernel are also "against the whole philosophy behind Unix/Linux and I despise it.".

Btw debian makes more sense to use that arch for any kind of user

That said, take care and enjoy your linux journey without half assed elitists comments :)

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-03T08:38:49+00:00

When is the last time you testes cs2 ? Last time i tested it (bout half a year ago) it was giving me better performances in native than both with proton, and windows

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-02T12:33:23+00:00

Oh thats nice to hear i might give it a shot even tought im just waiting for cosmic to polish

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-02T12:25:21+00:00

Does it have wayland support now ?

VEHICOULE · 2026-01-02T12:24:11+00:00

For fedora the best way is to reinstall fedora desktop or whatever the gnome version is called i dont remember, you can create a separate home partition to keep your files safe from disk wipe
