Zink is capping my FPS in Minecraft and I don't know why.
When I launch Minecraft with Zink enabled via PrismLauncher, the game is capped to my monitor's refresh rate. I have been using Zink with Minecraft for a while now and before today it was not capping my FPS. After disabling Zink and re-launching the game, My FPS is uncapped again. I thought a graphics driver update may have caused this, but my last driver update was 10 days ago.
Before you ask, I have both VSync and the max framerate setting off. I also considered that one of my mods may be the cause, but after disabling all of them the issue is still occurring.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this, and any help would be appreciated.

From 140fps with X11 to 7 fps with wayland
Hello,
Specs: 5800x3d / RTX4070S / Ubuntu 24.04 / nvidia-open 580.95.05
I have two monitors with differents refresh rate, with X11 things goes a little bit crazy so I'm trying to get wayland to work. Overall using wayland on the desktop it seems smoother.
I found I can open Steam only after disabling "GPU accelerated rendering in web views".
But after that, every games seems to not using the GPU at all when on wayland : I went from 120fps on CS2 and PEAK on X11 to 7-8 fps on wayland, same even for really small games (all linux native).
Which problem can it be? I asked ChatGPT but aside for telling me "nvidia + wayland = bad", the rest of its answer is garbage.
I don't have much leads but what I can tell:
- $XDG_SESSION_TYPE is indeed wayland
- nvidia-smi reports the correct driver / informations
- ps -ef | grep Xwayland reports the game running through xwayland : /usr/bin/Xwayland :1 -rootless -noreset -accessx -core -auth /run/user/1000/.mutter-Xwaylandauth.7CTBG3 -listenfd 4 -listenfd 5 -displayfd 6 -initfd 7 -byteswappedclients 16552 Z:\home\myuser\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\PEAK\PEAK.exe -force-d3d11
- when available for games i tried the DX11 and Vulkan, same result.
Any idea would be great!
EDIT : spelling

Bottles wine configuration
Good day every one, I recently switched from Windows 10 to Fedora workstation, so far I'm loving it, I use bottles as my game launcher and I'm trying to install Skyrim legendary edition, I set up everything correctly and when I launch it's setup it does launch to the choose language screen but when I click next it gives me this error (runtime error at 108 166 could not call proc) I tried installing common dependencies like Microsoft visual++ 2010/12/13 and directx DLLs, but still same, what could be the issue? I'm running wine v9, I was able to run oblivion this way

Elden ring is not using the GPU
Hi, I am using bazzite with a rx 9070xt and a ryzen 5800X.
This should be more than enough to run the game at max settings 60 FPS at 4k.
The problem is that no matter what settings/resolution I am using, the GPU usage stays at max 50%, and usually below.
I tried changing proton versions and nothing helped. For a mater of fact, using proton GE seems to give a worse performance.
I did try online and offline mode, also no dice.
I also tried to use corectl or LACT to increase the gpu minimum clock....but for some reason the option to change the gpu clock is not present there at all.
I have everything updated and I am at a loss. Almost every game runs perfectly on bazzite, yet elden ring is behaving like this.
I also did look through all the endless posts about the poor performance, but nothing helped.

Is updating reports on protondb possible and/or wanted?
Heyho, I finally (finally!) made the move to Linux (Mint22.2) on my gaming PC. Because almost everything I tested so far just works - thanks to Proton&Steam - I happily began writing reports to protondb to contribute.
In almost all reports I confirmed that I didn't have to tinker anything, and that the Proton version used to run the games was the one recommended by Steam, which was just Proton Experimental, as default, in the Steam settings. But in my reports, the latest stable version (9.0-4) is stated.
Can I adjust my reports somehow, to set them to "tinkering, Proton Experimental"? I want to correct the slight misinformation, if possible.

Silent hill 2 doesn't recognize my dedicated gpu
I have a notebook with 16gb of ram, rtx 4050 and a i5-13420h, I have installed silent hill 2 remake using heroic games launcher, but the game is running VERY badly, and I think it's because it isn't recognizing my 4050 because there is no option of dlss, only fsr. Sorry for the English btw

My Last Straw With Windows
The ONLY reason i've kept windows around for this long was because my gaming PC's RGB software is easier to control on windows. On every other device, I had migrated over to Linux after getting some experience with it by tinkering with my steamdeck.
Earlier today, I updated my Windows 11 install (huge mistake) and when the system rebooted, my mouse and keyboard were fully not working. I guess windows had uninstalled all usb drivers in the update and it left my windows essentially soft locked. I contacted support, and their solution was to reinstall the drivers by downloading them. I COULD NOT USE MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE HOW COULD I INSTALL DRIVERS????
I took the L and wiped the drive, currently installing CachyOS and never going back

Did anybody try Arc Raiders on AMD hardware
I bought the game earlier this week and have been hooked. However, on game launch you get an error saying the current version of AMD graphics for windows has known issues and they recommend downgrading to a specific version number. Since we are running the game through a translation layer, I ignore it and have been playing with mostly no issues in 25 hours of gameplay. But the game has given me some issues. It glitches at times and has crashed once and I lost all my equipment and loot. I was wondering if anyone is running into the same issues. I am running arch on an AMD 5900X and 9070xt.

Any good clients for playing Minecraft without internet access
Please see the title. I often don't have access to the internet and am unable to launch Minecraft when I don't have access to the internet.
I've tried prism launcher but it seems to have an active (but ignored) bug that causes it to fail https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/issues/2514
Are there any good alternatives that you'd recommend?
