LACT Nvidia OC Clarifications
I have a GTX 4080 and im looking to OC using LACT. I used afterburner extensively for years and had a good stable OC for my 4080 and want to replicate that in linux using LACT but im not sure about the P state settings and the offsets.
First question is, should i only be using P State 0?
Second question, are the offsets the same as afterburner? So, if i had a +150 core and a +750 memory in Afterburner, would i use those same offsets in the GPU P0 and VRAM P0?
Thanks for any help!

Elite dangerous won't even boot, launcher crashes right away.
First time running a linux system, using the latest mint version.
RTX5060, Ryzen 5 7600
A lot of the threads about ED say it runs mostly out of the box just with downgrading proton. I tried a bunch of different valve proton versions and recommended protonGE versions. None of them fix the instant crash. The furthest I've gotten was with proton GE 8-3 which actually processed the vulkan shaders before booting the launcher and crashing like usual. made sure my nvidia drivers were up to date as well. Verified the game files just in case but all was fine there.
Total linux noob here so I'm not sure what I could be doing. I've also seen some threads mentioning something called lutrix? Haven't tried that yet.

i'm new to linux and don't know much about gaming in handheld and pc in general. context about me is i've heard & seen the games but never actually played it. my gaming experience up until now is more on mobile competitive games. i got this laptop just about prepandemic during college and rarely used it since then. was able to play gta5, forza 4 or 5, witcher 3, and overcooked 2 back when the os is win10. haven't officially tried gaming yet on linux. i came here to ask to know where i am based off of my laptop's specs and situation. i watched youtube relating to this and i've come to learn a little that there's something about nvidia to linux drivers wise. i can't really tell much other than that. also, the content that i watched has rtx something specs being used, 4060 something which i think is far superior to what my 1660ti can do. while the comparison between the mint to other gaming distros is somewhat close than being far fps wise. i still want to know from the community.
with that being said, now i wonder if distros matter to my setup. should i change or not? i dont wanna go in deep with linux mint and later regret that there's better option at my disposal.
now that i have the energy to get back to gaming again, like play older 3A's, maybe cyberpunk too, some modern ones if it can and a lot of indie games. basically wanna play it like how and what games that can be played in a handheld. will mainly play in steam too. ill stick to playing this laptop until i have the budget to get a decent/comfortable gaming experience performance/ux wise like those latest handhelds today.

Final Fantasy Rebirth on CachyOS/Gamescope Issues
Spent most of my evening trying to solve this last night. Square Enix is not known for their programming prowess, and in their effort to get the game to run on the SteamDeck, it forces things like a low resolution font and dropping the colors of materia in game.
I've attempted to pass launch options like "SteamDeck=0" and a bunch of Wine DLL overrides, but the game seems to have the behavior hard-coded, or Im missing the Konami Code for it.
Thanks for any advice.

Battlefront 2 (2017) from the EA app
I've been trying to play battlefront 2, I bought a long time ago from the EA app directly.
What I've done is launching the EA app from lutris and installing the game, but it doesn't run smoothly and the mouse doesn't work properly making it unplayable.
I've tried to launch the app from steam hoping for it to make a difference but the same problems occurred.

HP Elitebook 840 g5 on Ubuntu - what/how to upgrade for gaming
Hi all, appreciate any feedback.
Two years ago I bought a beat up HP elitebook 840 g5, 16GB RAM and Intel® Core™ i5-7300U × 4, the battery didn't last 20 minutes on Windows but after installing ubuntu it now lasts a full day, so that's great and it does all of the daily things for me (internet, movies, docs).
I've been looking to play some games on it as I have an old Steam account with some platform games, Ori and such. There is a very visible lag as it unfortunately has a shitty built-in graphic card: Intel® HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2).
Is there anything I can do here to make it perform better without having to get a different laptop?
