Issues related to Gaming in zorin os 16.2

General Help
1

Hey guys . So i wanted game mode but the command they provided on the forum does not work.

Second : when i use wine and play some old games which requires to change screen resolution to a smaller resolution. Game works fine but sometimes flickr ( light black ) and when i exit the game . The resolution does not change to the same old one .

Third in games like Minecraft there is a serious fps drop.

Specs : Intel i3 10th generation , 4 gb ram
256 gb SSD and fresh installed zorin os 16.2
Thank u

Regards Adit.

That aren't much horsepower there. What about your video card?

sudo apt install inxi
inxi -G

Not a gamer card :slight_smile: , so don't expect miracles :slight_smile:

4 gb ram

I would recommend Zorin OS lite version as Gnome run best with 8 GB.
