Nvidia on Linux - DLSS, FSR, XeSS, who to choose when we have a Nvidia GPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. Januar 2026 - 16:12

Hello,

Context of the person writting: I switched my Desktop to Fedora KDE and the drivers to the Nvidia ones. after 6 months of Fedora Sway/KDE on Laptop.

I'm asking the question as I am running a 3060 12gb

The question comes from a train of thought: Nvidia is inferior to Amd on Linux for Performance.

But what about DLSS when you have a Nvidia GPU on Linux. It is also nvidia software, and has been made for Nvidia cards, but FSR and Xess Are also at our disposal, and I cannot seem to find any numbers of discussions on what is the ideal solution.

On Nvidia + Windows the solution was simply: If you have a Nvidia card, it is worth it to run DLSS and not FSR. But here I cannot seem to find the response or test made on such a complicated "Market"?

Discrete GPU Not Being Used On CachyOs

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. Januar 2026 - 15:53

New to CACHY (arch gaming in general). I have an Nvidia 4060ti and a ryzen cpu. My Nvidia card has power going to it, but the fans aren't spinning or anything and it's listed as GPU 2. I used Goverlay to check and I'm getting low performance. I have tried what the wiki says force the use of the GPU via properties, but that doesn't work either.

Any more recommendations on how to start using the discrete not integrated graphics.

Dual boot to test modding?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. Januar 2026 - 15:07

I would love to fully move from Windows to either CachyOS or Bazzite, and I've done it several times recently (back and forth)... But I always end up back in Windows because of issues I couldn't figure out.

My final issue is modding, particularly in Witcher 3. Trying to get ProtonTricks working for the script merger, etc...

My question is, could/should I install Bazzite as a dual boot to my current Windows (Revi) install, and then eventually delete the Windows partition and merge it with my Bazzite partition so that I can regain the disk space?

Can't use Steamdeck as remote play controller for some games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. Januar 2026 - 14:51

I'm running arch + hyprland and steam itself works great on the host. I can also use a controller connected through USB/Bluetooth without issue. The issue stems from when I try to use remote play. The steamdeck used to work as a controller without issue on Monster Hunter Wilds, but I changed a setting for the controller (swapped to Nintendo Switch layout) and now it's not working at all.

I've tried changing back to the standard layout, making sure the controller configuration in Steamdeck is reset, tried using a different layout, nothing seems to work. The game doesn't even seem to register the controller, as when it used to, the keybind hints on screen would be the gamepad and now it's just the keyboard. I also tested another game, Sea of Thieves, and it has the same issue (I didn't even change a keybind, it just never seemed to work)

I did download a random ToS Gamepad Tester and when I stream that, I can confirm the controller is recognized.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Gamescope and In-Game UI Elements Misaligned (CachyOS)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. Januar 2026 - 14:02

Hey folks. I am running CachyOS with RTX 5080. I am noticing misaligned UI elements both in-game and in Gamescope, especially with the Steam loading logo. Other small UI are also misaligned at times.

I am running Gamescope at 1440p/120hz.

Is there a fix for this? The game itself is fine and I don't notice any misalignments in the image, just some UI elements. Doesn't happen with all games or all UI/HUD elements.

I noticed the same with Bazzite. Guess its an NVIDIA and Gamescope issue? Hoping there is a fix.
