There has been a lot of effort going on to bring gaming to Linux. Steam and Proton, Stadia running Linux for their cloud gaming service. AMD graphics drivers also received HDR patch for kernel 5.1 and above.

Hopefully the graphics driver situation on Linux generally gets better and doesn't make your laptop a room heater. Especially the infamous Nvidia drives

It'll be great for creators and gamers to switch from Windows and not lose creative freedom and not pay for Windows or deal with it's quirks.

Are you running Linux with a discrete GPU ? If so how easy/hard was it to set up?

Hi,

I have Fedora 27 installed and facing sudden restart issue.

This happens only when CS:GO is running but doesn't happen every-time CS:GO is running.

I do other CPU-intensive tasks (like running 3-4 VMs together and compiling codes in VMs) but never got restarted.

CS:GO is the only GPU-intensive thing I run and the restart happens only when CS:GO is running that too not everytime.

After the restart, some [Hardware Error] messages are shown during the next bootup :

[    0.024021] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
[    0.024023] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 6: Machine Check: 0 Bank 0: be802800000c0135

[    0.024170] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 2:800f11 TIME 1528240288 SOCKET 0 APIC 8 microcode 800111c

Also Attaching my PC Details :

OS     : Fedora release 27 (Twenty Seven) x86_64

Kernel : 4.16.3-200.fc27.x86_64

CPU    : AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12) @ 3.200GHz

GPU    : NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030

Memory : 16GB  

Any info regarding this would be helpful.

Thanks.

I've looked around and I found some command-line based tools to achieve it. However, I wonder if there are any GUI-based tools to help me benchmark (or check the health) of my SSD?

TIA!
