There are two modes: on-demand and performance mode. I've read many versions of what it is, but I still can't understand which one is correct. There is an opinion that it switches between the GPU and CPU depending on the task. There are two forks here:
a) Applications themselves determine whether they will run with Prime.
b) The operating system does this automatically (How? How does it understand when to run from the video card?)

There are some other oddities: In Ubuntu, you can choose to launch using the discrete graphics card by right-clicking. What's the point? Why is NVIDIA Prime absent in Fedora? Does it mean Prime or on-demand is the default there?

I tried to download an app from Flathub but it says that I need to buy the PE version of the game, but I already have bought the game on the official Minecraft page and I ain't buying that game twice, so is there any alternatives to play Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

I upgraded to newer kernel version, but I notice a performance regression, the RX 7800 XT isn't performing as well on the newer one. When running the Heaven benchmark, the GPU hits 100% usage, but its frequency is lower on kernel 6.8, hovering around 2200 to 2250MHz, while on 6.6, it's consistently over 2650MHz. Power-wise, it's drawing around 140W on kernel 6.8 compared to 228W on 6.6, although I managed to hit 228W on the newer kernel when I tested it with Furmark. In the Heaven benchmark that change result in a lower fps from 195 to 165.

In CoreCtrl, both test are running on automatic setting, but there are different settings available in the advanced mode for each kernel. On 6.8, you've got options to tweak core and memory frequencies and voltage, while on 6.6, it's just core and memory frequencies and power limits.

Image of CoreCtrl graph and advance settings in each kernel https://imgur.com/a/fOGpEyf

So, is there a setting I can tweak to make the newer kernel perform like the older one, or did I miss something between these versions?

uname -a output:

Kernel 6.8:

``` Linux nixos 6.8.7 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Apr 17 09:23:43 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi all! Tech support question here ... I've been having a weird issue where my audio device (Focusrite Scarlet 18-20 Gen2) does not show up in many games when using Proton. In this scenario the game either won't launch, OR it will launch but there will be no sound, and the sound settings shows no available audio devices. The weird workaround I've found is that if I change my default output in my DE to my motherboard audio, then launch the game, the game will see my Focusrite and the audio will work with no issues once I change my default output back to the Focusrite in my DE.

I've had this issue for well over a year ... but it hasn't been an issue since I've been using a Windows VM for most of my multiplayer gaming anyway. One of the main games I play where I experience this issue is Smite, and due to a recent EAC update I can no longer launch the game in a VM.

OS is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed w/ KDE Plasma 6, Steam is installed from Flathub instead of native.

Doom Eternal is an example game that sees my Focusrite with no issues, Civilizations VI crashes on loading if I have my Focusrite turned on, and Smite shows no audio device unless I do the workaround above. Not sure what the difference here is ...

Apologies if this a dumb question but if I use the steam flatpak does that mean that steam games are also sandboxed or just the steam client?

I use Pop os and tried to run any game like new world or others with proton experimental and GE, none of them work, I click play, it says launching, sometimes prepares shaders, then shows play again. I tried changing my mount options for uid 1000 and guid 1000 but that didnt help either

Here's my terminal logs when running steam thru the terminal
```

tl;dr if you want to share stream audio in the Vesktop discord client, make sure there's another Vesktop client viewing the stream.

Right now, if I try to share audio with your stream in Vesktop, most clients will find that the video plays at about 1 fps. It looks like Discord has some kind of video bitrate bug when audio is added in Vesktop and certain clients are viewing the stream (possibly the video is given the audio bitrate amount for some reason). But you only need 1 "good" client viewing and the stream will be good for everyone. You can see more details here.

I recently ran into this bug when streaming from my desktop to a friend using Windows. What I did was join the call on Vesktop on my laptop, and as soon as my laptop started viewing my desktop stream, my friend reported that their stream started working properly. Very strange bug, but at least there's a workaround.

While it's a bit like throwing some coins into a well and making a wish, I'm not going to stop you if you want to give it a shot to win a Steam Deck, or a big bundle of games if you manage to find a golden egg in the Fanatical Mystery Egg Bundle.

I have standalone ESO installed in Windows on separate harddrive. I automount the hd i Linux so I can reach the gamefiles. Anyone know if its possible to run the game through lutris or Heroic games launcher from my automounted harddrive without the need of two ESO installes. I can do this with wow and it works perfect. Just by installing battlenet through lutris and then locate the game on my automounted hd. I was looking for a similar way with ESO.

A freshly squeezed cup of Proton Experimental was released today by Valve containing fixes for multiple games on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux like Overwatch 2.

Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver have now finally released Dead Island 2 on Steam, after previously being Epic Games exclusive and they're boasting about Steam Deck support.

I recently started PC gaming and since I am used to using linux for work I thought I would download steam directly to my ubuntu installation. Everything works fine, with ge-proton I can I have yet to find a title that won't launch, performance is great, etc etc. The only problem is, now that I bought the Ori collection I can't play it with the dualsense controller on my ps5. The controller is recognized by the pc, steam sees it and in the test for key binding every key is detected correctly. I have tried it with other titles and it seems fine.

The only game it doesn't work on is Ori and the blind forest.

If I disable steam input the keys are all wrong, if I enable it the controller is not directly recognized.

Has anyone had any similar experience, maybe even for other games? In this case Ori does not have a menu to remap the controls, otherwise I would have tried that

I'm posting here because I wouldn't know where else to look, the few other threads I found were not helpful.

Thanks in advance

just switched to mint from windows 10, have 3070ti and Core i5-11400F 2.60GHz, dual 1440p monitors.

when installing mint from usb to nvme both monitor displays would cut out to black every 3 seconds for about 1 second, I powered through this thinking the graphics driver would resolve the issue.

now mint is setup and running from nvme this kept happening until I installed the recommended nvidia drivers through driver manager, to which it then stopped

I fully updated the system, setup steam, installed elden ring, setup compatibility. the game is hitching for 1 second every 3 seconds, I have a video playing in firefox on the second monitor and notice the video is hitching for a second and the exact same time the game is.

I look into it more, update the kernal to the absolute latest, setup gamemode, issue is almost completely gone, but just subtly still there.

I close the game and go watch a different video and notice its still happening, every 3 seconds the video hitches for 1 second then continues.

All drives were formatted, everything is from scratch, tried the newest nvida drivers also instead of recommended but no difference, this issue is not present on windows 10, no idea what to try now
