DNS based blocking never works for me.



Temps are absolutely fine and sometimes the game crashes immediately before anything can even get hot. Only happens with Horizon. All other games run fine.


I only just bought a new PSU to go with the GPU upgrade. It’s 850W so should be more than enough power. Just seems odd that it’s only an issue with one game.


Diagnose system crash during gameplay?
I'm trying to play Horizon Zero Dawn on OpenSUSE TW but every 10 minutes or so my entire system crashes leaving me with both monitors displaying a green screen and forcing me to pull the plug on my PC. This appears to be the only game with the issue. I've tried multiple versions of Proton including GE but all suffer from the same crashes. How do I go about diagnosing the issue? PC specs are if relevant are: i7-4790K AMD 5700XT 32GB RAM 2TB nvme SSD

It definitely isn’t energy efficient. I installed Signal as an SMS app out of curiosity when I first degoogled but the battery drain was insanely high and the highest of all my apps.


If all you’re only using GPS for notifications why login at all?


I don’t use Brave simply because it’s too buggy. Half the websites I visit don’t load properly.




Excellent! Thank you very much.


Controller driver issues
Hi guys, An interesting issue here that I wonder if anyone will have a solution to. I have quite a varied controller collection that I like to swap between somewhat regularly. My go to at the moment is the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro which is plug and play with no issues. Another controller that I occasionally like to use is the GameSir G7 and this controller doesn't work at all out of the box in Linux. To get the G7 to work I have to install xone, but in doing so the Flydigi stops working entirely. Is there a happy medium in terms of controller drivers or am I better off just choosing one controller and sticking with it?

Sandboxing it means it doesn’t have any elevated privileges like MicroG has so it gets less data. MicroG still gives Google the information they’re after, just proxies through alternative services I believe.


GrapheneOS has an incredibly easy installation as it’s entirely done through your browser (though it doesn’t work on Firefox unfortunately).

As for Sandboxed Google Play versus MicroG, I believe app compatibility is much better. It’s not perfect as I’ve come across multiple apps that simply don’t work on Graphene but I hear the situation is a lot worse with MicroG. There have also been quite a few instances in the past of MicroG leaking data it shouldn’t be.


Happened on Arch last night and this morning switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed with the exact same issues. GPU is a GTX 1070 with nvidia drivers installed.


No nothing else is running. Just Steam. It was happening on Arch last night and I switched to openSUSE this morning and get the same problem. Both times Steam was installed through the native package manager.


So far that’s for A Hat In Time, Resident Evil 6, Battle bit Remastered and DuckTales Remastered.disabling caching means games run really poorly.


Games will eventually launch after about 5 minutes if I skip but will run really poorly.


Sahder caching takes hours?
Hi guys. I've finally returned to Linux gaming after a year hiatus back on Windows but currently have been unable to play anything due to Steam's shader caching. Trying to launch a game means I have to sit and leave my PC on for hours (I gave up after 2) just whilst the progress bar slowly goes up. I made sure background caching was on in the settings and even added a config file to enable more threads as I saw suggested online but after leaving Steam open overnight I'm still unable to play any games. This wasn't an issue when I was dailying Linux a year ago so I'm assuming something in Proton must've changed?

I’ve always been a bit weary of Proton. They’re trying too hard to be Google for my liking.


Will I have to change all my emails now or will the old domains continue to be supported?


I was so happy with MullVad until the port forwarding removal. €5 a month regardless and a very easy to use website. I moved to a 3 year purchase of AirVPN but it’s a lot more finicky to use.


Banking apps are fine on GrapheneOS and o think smart watches are too but can’t personally confirm.


I believe so. Very few Foss keyboards have swipe gestures because it needs to be created from scratch.


In an ideal world I’d continue to use my self hosted Navidrome setup but acquiring new music and keeping my library organised is time consuming regardless if how much amazing automated software is out there.

I mostly stick to Innertune at the moment and will probably be fully converted once they add support for YouTube Music login.


I use an OpenBoard fork which includes Google swipe typing.
