First of all, this worked fine a few weeks ago, when I isntalled the distro. I just gonna add some details, Idk if they are usefull or not.

My GPU is an RTX 5080, I have an AMD CPU.
Kernel: 6.18.8-200.fc43.x86_64

inxi -G output:

Device-1: NVIDIA GB203 [GeForce RTX 5080] driver: nvidia v: 580.119.02

Info: Tools: api: glxinfo gpu: nvidia-settings,nvidia-smi x11: xdriinfo,xdpyinfo, xprop, xrandr

Help would be much appreciated, I distro hoped for too long and Fedora was really good for productivity so far, but I would like to game from time to time.

Hi everyone,

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 on a laptop with an Nvidia RTX 4060. I have an external Acer monitor connected via HDMI.

The Issue: My external monitor works perfectly at 60Hz and 120Hz. However, as soon as I try to set it to its native 200Hz (or even 165Hz), the screen goes completely black.

• The monitor signal is lost or black until it reverts settings.
• This exact setup works perfectly on Windows 11 on the same machine (200Hz, full RGB color, no issues).

My Setup:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• GPU: Nvidia RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
• Driver: Proprietary nvidia-driver-570 (verified via nvidia-smi)
• Display Server: X11 (I switched from Wayland, confirmed via Settings)
• Connection: HDMI directly to the dGPU (Nvidia card).

What I have tried (and failed):

1. Switching to X11
2. Drivers: Verified I am using the proprietary 570 drivers. nvidia-smi shows the Xorg process running on the GPU.
3. xrandr:
   • xrandr lists the modes correctly (up to 200Hz).
   • Manually forcing the rate via xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 165 results in a black screen.

Is there anything that can be done?

I want to listen to my PS5 on my PC. I am on fedora.
I used to to this on Windows. Basically my PS5 is connected to my monitor using an HDMI cable. From the same monitor I have an AUX cable to goes to a static isolator and then to the motherboard in the Line-in (pink) input. Then in the sound settings on Windows I listen to this device and I have audio in my headset.

I tried doing essentially the same on linux using pulse audio volume control and helvum, where I created a loopback using this command:
pactl load-module module-loopback latency\_msec=60
but all I hear is static noise (like tv snow). is there another way to have the PS5 audio on my pc or do I need a USB audio adapter or a sound mixer for that?

I want to fine-tune Linux on my old laptop for max graphics keeping all open-source. I understand Vulkan is a way to go, correct?

I see 'NVIDIA K620M' 'driver: nouveau' listed in system info, but vulkan-info shows only Intel GPU (and some '(llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 256 bits))').

https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/

Vulkan is supported on all Kepler and later GPUs.

Web search shows my card is Maxwell arc and Maxwell is next after Kepler.

How to make Vulkan recognize and use my NVIDIA card? TIA

Am I the only one playing Left 4 Dead 2 with terrible performance?

Because it's the only game that runs worse for me since I switched to Linux. And if you suggest it's because of my PC, my laptop meets the recommended requirements, and even more demanding games run perfectly fine. For example, Battlefield 4 runs great on medium graphics.

Please tell me I'm not the only one, and if I am, do you know how to fix it? By the way, my laptop has 8GB of RAM, a 6th generation Intel Core i5 with integrated graphics.

Hello! I'm having trouble getting the re4HDProject to work. I tried using wine but it's saying the file cannot be found. Is there something I'm doing wrong? if any of you guys got the project to work I'd appreciate the help! I should also mention I switched to linux mint only a couple of months ago and I'm still unfamiliar with it.

Guys, I'm running ETS2 with roughly 50% fps hit on Linux.

Both screenshots were taken at the same spot, right after loading a save file.

Windows: 126 avg FPS

Linux: 67 avg FPS

System:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: B550M AORUS ELITE Kernel: Linux 6.18.9-zen1-2-zen Display (XB241YU): 2560x1440 in 24", 165 Hz [External] DE: COSMIC 1.0.0 WM: cosmic-comp (Wayland) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (12) @ 4.65 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Lite Hash Rate [Discrete] Memory: 2.41 GiB / 31.24 GiB (8%) Swap: 0 B / 7.76 GiB (0%) Disk (/): 14.16 GiB / 48.91 GiB (29%) - ext4 Disk (/home): 698.24 GiB / 1.74 TiB (39%) - ext4

Any idea what may be the issue?
