System:

• OS: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon
• CPU: Ryzen 7 3800x
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
• Running via Steam/Proton

Issues I'm experiencing: 1. Micro-stuttering during gameplay

The game maintains stable FPS but I'm getting frequent micro-stutters/hitches that make it feel less smooth than it should. The framerate counter doesn't drop, but there are noticeable frame pacing issues.

2. Game crashes when tabbed out during match loading

This is the bigger issue - if I alt-tab or have the game in the background while joining/loading into a match, it crashes 100% of the time. I have to keep the game focused during the entire loading process or it's guaranteed to crash.

Pretty sure that's the NVIDIA/DX12/VKD3D extension.

Using dwproton and a ps5 controller. Even tried using an XBox one controller but neither of them seem to be usable in Endfield.
Any help appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling a lot to get NVIDIA drivers working properly on Linux and I’m honestly running out of ideas.

What I tried

I’m currently on Debian Trixie (Debian 13) and followed the official guide step by step:

• https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

I also tried using this installer script:

• https://github.com/devleonardoamaral/debian-nvidia-installer

Prerequisites I already did:

• Installed headers:sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64 linux-headers-$(uname -r)
• Installed build tools (build-essential)
• Disabled Secure Boot
• Clean installs, multiple retries

Hardware

• Laptop: Dell G16 7230
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Laptop (Ada architecture)
• Kernel: 6.12.63+deb13-amd64

Symptoms

• The drivers seem to install successfully
• nvidia-smi does not work
• NVIDIA App / tools do not start
• System only boots if I omit kernel parameters like:nvidia-drm=1
• If I include those options, the system hangs or fails to reach the graphical session

Extra context

Because this laptop is “Ubuntu certified”, I also tried Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS:

• https://ubuntu.com/certified/202212-31026

But I still ran into similar issues with the NVIDIA driver not loading correctly.

At this point I’m wondering:

• Is there any Linux distro where this GPU/laptop actually works out of the box?
• Has anyone successfully run an RTX 4070 Laptop on Debian / Ubuntu without these issues?
• Am I missing some BIOS / kernel / driver detail specific to Ada GPUs?

Any help, distro recommendations, or real-world success stories would be massively appreciated.
Thanks in advance 🙏

I'm having issues with connecting lan using zerotier private network. The game simply doesn't show the servers, even though I can ping the host on the terminal

Hi everyone,

I would like to setup a Linux gaming steaming server that is a multi-seat like Duo streaming (https://github.com/DuoStream). Do any of you have any guides or recommendations to accomplish this feat?

I would greatly appreciate not having to remain on Windows for gaming. Also, thank you all in advance for your help.

i have used Linux up to mid 2025 (cachyos) and it was acceptable but i went back to windows (10 ltsc 2021) because of NVIDIA issues on my old gtx 1650m laptop and some games having issues. however, now i am looking into installing bazzite on my new pc. my questions are:

1. have NVIDIA drivers improved to the point of being on par with windows now? (i currently have an rtx 2080)

2. is there any way to get gta v online to work? i don't play it very often, just occasionally with my friend.

3. i heard of winboat allowing to run programs that proton can't, has anyone used it? is it any good, for games or otherwise?

4. can i use one drive to store my games from steam and play them on both windows and linux partitions?

Hello, I have started playing Deadlock, but my game for some reason runs at around 50 fps no matter what video settings I set.
When playing setting everything to low besides the resolution scaling, I have around 50-60 fps average, and when I set the graphics settings to Ultra, the fps I get DOESN'T change at all and is still around 50-60 fps.
Please, if you have any solution to this - help me! I am really enjoying the game but sometimes - especially in teamfights - performance like that is unbereable.
Also, I tried different Proton versions and many steam launch options and it didn't change anything.

My specs:

Linux Mint 22.1
GPU: AMD RX580 8GB vram
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF
16GB RAM
GE-Proton10-26
Vulkan

I know that my specs are on the low end, but I am sure that it's not the cause of my problem, since it's impossible for a game to run at the same fps on the low and on the highest graphics settings.

So, I had a bit of a nasty surprise when I tried to jump on BF6 on my Windows drive as it won't let me play since secure boot is disabled.

Since I last played, I installed a new SSD into my machine and installed Mint on it which I now primarily use over windows but still go to Windows to play some multiplayer games.

Do I need to keep secure boot disabled now I have a Linux distro installed on the other drive, or can I safely re-enable it so I can play BF6?

Or would I need to constantly re-enable it when I plan to play, but disable it again after the session before booting back into Mint?

Os and specs at the end of the post!

>Got the game because I've heard pretty good stuff about it
>Get into the game and after main screen everything is black with only audio playing
>No prob will look up a fix. Delete main menu video that somehow makes the whole menu black.
>The video was pretty cool but I dont mind not having no prob
>Go into the campaign, black screen with audio on the first cutscene
>Skip the cutscene, I can see now (real time cutscene), that sucks but ok.
>FOV is so close that its making me nauseous, mouse look feels incredibly weird
>No prob I can simply go into the settings and change the FOV and the mouse sensitivity
>Change the mouse sensitivity and turn off "fast mouse" (mouse acceleration), this makes it better but its still pretty bad
>No FOV setting
>No prob I can simply find a fix for these things
>Download fusion fix
>Manual DLL override on bottles
>the patch isn't working, the DLL override isn't working
>Same outcome on steam using launch commands for the DLL override and proton (Tried it with proton 8 > 9 and Proton-GE)
>the DLL file (dinput8.dll) is 32-bit, maybe thats the problem?
>Get 64 version
>Same outcome
>Winecfg? Same outcome
>Finally manage to make the dll override work
>Game draws a black window and closes automatically

At this point I'm mostly ready to give up and play the game as is, pausing to look up the cutscenes on youtube, which sucks because I've tried raid mode and it was pretty fun. Please help?

Hey everyone,

My system, to start:

OS: CachyOS x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.18.6-2-cachyos CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 275HX (24) @ 6.50 GHz GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Max-Q / Mobile [Discrete] GPU 2: Intel Graphics @ 1.90 GHz [Integrated] Memory: 32 GB WM: niri 25.11 (Wayland)

My issue is with the Silent Hill 2 remake. I've launched and played/tested 50+ games at this point, only having the occasional issue that was quickly fixed with a launch option or changing the proton version I was using.

Launching SH2 works as expected, I go through the logos without issues, and when the shaders begin compilation, the fps drops to ~5, I can access the main menu and navigate through it, but it remains at that FPS.

My guess is that it is using my iGPU, as there are a lot of greyed out options in the display and graphics sub-menu. The resolution option simply says 'no options data' and is greyed out. Also, in the supersampling option, DLSS isn't available, so that does seem like the issue here. I've tried:

- MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT (I had had that issue with Dying Light, and this had fixed it, allowing it to use the dGPU)

- DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME

- __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

None did anything.

I've also tried every proton version available including GE. I verified the game files. I've played with various launch options, including stuff I found on protondb, -dx11, gamemoderun, tried launching it through Lutris with the option to force the use of the dGPU, and with gamemode and the desired resolution set. Didn't work either.

Not sure where to go from there, except disabling the dGPU in the BIOS, and seeing if that does anything. I'd like to avoid going into the BIOS just to get one game to work though, and I'm still not even sure that's the issue even though it seems that way.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hey all! I have been wanting to move away from the windows platform, though I do enjoy streaming games off sunshine and moonlight. On windows, games almost looks native on my moonlight clients. When I run sunshine on Fedora, games look a lot choppier on my moonlight clients. I was thinking of potentially dual booting, but my preference would be to boot into Fedora instead and run a VM if that use case makes sense for this. Has anyone had experience with running a sunshine server on a VM hosted on a Linux based machine? Would it be difficult process to get a vm running using my GPU on Fedora?

Hey all, this will be a silly post as I cannot figure out how to do it.

My specs:
CPU: R7 5700X3D
GPU: RX 6700XT 12GB
32GB RAM
OS: Fedora 43 KDE plasma edition.

What I want:
tomorrow I'll be getting a new TV (I use 2 TV's as monitors) which is 4k 144hz. Since I have 2 1080p 50-60hz TV's, I've never really needed the FSR function, because my RX 6700XT could play every single game (including minecraft with shaders) on 1080p 60fps. I have tested that my configuration can handle ~160fps on 1080p, but that TV is going to be 4k. I want to play on 1440p or 4k with 120fps (HDMI 2.1 limitation) using FSR upscalling.

Problem:
So there is minecraft launcher called "SKlauncher" and I tried to add it to lutris, since lutris supports gamescope. Now I do not know fully what gamescope can do, but I know it enabled HDR and FSR1 support to games. The lutris saw my gamescope, but could not open SKlauncher.

What I did:
open lutris;
add game;
add locally installed game (the launcher);
name - SKlauncher;
runner - wine (Did open something and crashed)
runner (2nd option) - Linux
executable - /path/to/SKlauncher .jar
arguments - java -jar /path/to/SKlauncher .jar (did not open)

There must be something i'm missing right? Maybe a totally different approach.

Had some existing parts for an AM4 mobo with 16gb of RAM, grabbed a budget 9060 16gb during Christmas sales, and have now popped Bazzite on this bad boy to make a retro and cozy gaming PC for the fam on the big screen. It’s not particularly sexy but for under $350 in new parts I’m pretty happy with it!
