linux VS docs

Interesting! I've used Linux Mint for the last 5+ years (and am using the Xanmod kernel, which is on 6.6), but have always been Pop OS curious. This increases my curiosity, I may have to give it a go on my laptop.

For those on Linux mint you can install the xanmod kernel for improved performance, specifically tailored for gaming on Debian based distros.

Generally, Arch is the better platform for getting various kernel versions, but there's always stuff like Xanmod which is easy to do in any distro. Worst case, could always use linux-tkg script to build your own kernel - with that kind of hardware it shouldn't take long for the kernel to be built.

Still a bit of a noob. I haven't heard of that one. Do you mean this: https://xanmod.org/? Is there any stability or compatibility issues that come with it?

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Xanmod Kernel

There are different drivers available but the best way is to install linux kernel 6.3 which has built in support for rtl wifi. I also have similar adapter and had the problem. I recommend xanmod kernel because it is newer and has the needed driver and it is focussed on desktop performance.

For Debian : https://xanmod.org

Alternatively, try the xanmod kernel https://xanmod.org/

Hey! So I'm a new linux user and wanted to try and get battlenet to work so i can play a bit of wow classic. Ive looked around on on other post like this and first tried getting it to work with lutris. I installed the drivers and wine compabilities from https://github.com/lutris/docs and easily got battlenet installed but after i close it (before logging in) i cant start the program again. Lutris just gets stuck on the launching icon. I then installed bottles and tried launching it from there and the login screen just pops up and closes for barely a second. After running it with bottles the terminal shows a few errors posted below. I really have no clue where ive gone wrong but ive been stuck with this for hours so any help would be incredibly appreciated

Making sure you are using the latest version of Mint (21.2 as I write) is key for the next piece - you need to enable 32 bit libraries and install the vulkan and wine dependencies to make things work well. This is the wine link and this is the drivers link. If you are not running the 21.2 Mint, the warning on the drivers page is there for you - you need to manually fix a file after adding the kisak ppa on 21.1 to allow the 32 bits vulkan and mesa to install.

Instructions to install 32 bits libraries dependencies

Now I get the message that Vulcan libraries are missing and I should download them following this guide: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Reinstalling all wine dependencies stated on Lutris' Github with no luck

I am trying to launch rainbow 6 siege though proton after installing the vulcan drivers as recomended by lutris here: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

I'm trying to install battlenet and SC2 on my computer. I installed Wine, dependencies then Lutris as explained there : https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md
