I've been a linux user for over a year now and I agree with this

It's been a couple days since this issue appeared: Sometimes while I'm playing a game on my laptop, the CPU clock rate suddenly drops significantly from around 3GHz to 544MHz+ and the CPU usage skyrockets from around 10% to 70%. As I have an integrated GPU, the iGPU has way less resources to use, making the frame rate drop by a lot. Temperature is not an issue, as it's always around 60°C. The power profile I'm using (performance) has a frequency set between 1.10GHz and 5.13GHz as stated by cpupower, but for some reason the CPU ignores the lower limit and goes down to 544MHz. The frequency in game is variable, sometimes it stays underclocked the whole time, sometimes it keeps going back to a normal value then dropping again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 8840U w/ AMD Radeon 780M Graphics
I'm on NobaraOS

so i have thinkpad t495 (ryzen 5pro 3500u, 16gb ram, using the vega igpu) the igpu would restart it self when i play games but it feels random like in games like slay the spire it just work fine on games like csgo it would take some time but in like 5min it would restart on TERRARIA on the other hand my igpu would only restart if i went full screen i thought it was a proton issue tried linux native port same thing (I'm still hoping it's a software issue cuz i just started collage now im so broke i can't even buy a mouse so a new laptop\pc is out of the question for me either i fix it or live with it)

I recently revived an old PC and decided to turn it into a little Linux gaming machine. The specs are pretty modest. Core i5 2nd gen with 16 GB RAM and a Radeon R9 M360 4 GB. I installed CachyOS on it because I wanted to try a faster Arch based distro and honestly it runs really smooth on this hardware.

After setting everything up I wanted to play The Walking Dead Telltale Definitive Edition so I downloaded the FitGirl repack. I extracted the files and added the setup exe to Steam so I could run it through Proton. The installer actually launched perfectly and the installation went through without any problems.

The only thing that keeps failing is DirectX. The installer tries to run it but it never installs. I tried switching Proton versions and even went down to Proton 5 just to see if something older would work but still the same result.

Now when I try to launch the game I keep getting DirectX related errors and I am not sure what the best fix is from here. Has anyone here installed this game on Linux through Proton and run into the same thing. If so what did you do to get past the DirectX part.

Any help would be appreciated because I was really excited to play this game on my old machine.

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 Linux and playing Geometry Dash via Steam. I have a 2 monitor setup, with my main monitor being 1080p 180Hz, and my secondary monitor 1080p 60Hz. I play geometry dash on my main monitor. In the in-game settings I have Vsync enabled and the Steam FPS overlay it shows 180fps, but visually it looks like 60fps and seems very laggy. The same thing happens when I enable unlock FPS in-game, showing (for example) 360fps in the steam FPS overlay but visually looking like 60. Anyone having the same issue and/or have a fix?

The past week has been quite the headache. Seemingly suddenly, I can no longer update or install Steam games to my internal hard disk /dev/sdb. It's formatted ext4 and fairly new, but a lot of the library was copied over from when I originally had Windows installed.

I have tried the following:

1. Fresh install of Steam from https://store.steampowered.com/about
2. Set mount options in Disks to rw,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=Games, Mount at system startup, Show in user interface, Mount point as /home/[user]/Games
3. Running sudo chmod 777 /home/[user]/Games/Steam -R

No matter what I do, Steam seems to see the Games disk as read-only. Thoughts? Am I missing something obvious? Let me know if you need more info.

I have a monitor that can handle 144hz, but Cachy_OS (w/ Wayland) and `xrandr` is only recognizing 60. I have my machine partitioned with a windows setup as well and am able to get 144. I'm using nvidia. Anyone else have this issue and know how to get linux to recognize the higher output?

Hello! Recently I installed arch linux again after being tired of windows. Every game is running great, except for Cyberpunk. After about 10-15 seconds of being loaded in, the game just crashes, I can alt tab for maybe a second, then everything stops responding, even my caps lock stops working, and with GOverlay it wont even launch.

I thought hmm maybe my gpu finally degraded after months of running it with a fully unlocked power limit and 6950xt level clocks and it running ~450w, until I tried other games and they ran perfectly. RE9 requiem with GOverlay having mangohud and optiscaler ran perfectly after the re framework update.

I’m just really confused as to why this is occuring. Anyone else have this issue?

Specs:

7800x3d, 6900xt, 64gb ddr5 6000, GE-proton-10.32

I'm trying to download steam following this guide; https://youtu.be/BLxgL6VxwFo?si=L9FxhjE8JzPeSgkN and everything goes well until I actually try running it, causing this error to pop up. I followed the link at the very bottom ( https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/user-namespace-requirements ) but I honestly am so confused and cannot understand it. Can anyone explain it in a way that's easier to understand?
