I previously had a 2 monitor setup of 2 1920x1080p 60Hz monitors. I upgraded my main one to a 2560x1440p 165h G-sync compatible one as I have an RTX 3060 12GB. I tried turning on G-sync, but it would only work if I disabled my secondary monitor, so I asked for help on this and other forums. I got told that X11 only allows G-sync if all monitors have it, but Wayland doesn't so I should switch to a distro with Wayland, as I was on Linux Mint. After some research, I decided to switch to Fedora KDE. I tried to turn on G-sync, and then realised that is not possible due to the limited options the Nvidia X Server Settings has in Wayland. I researched a bit, and figured out that you have to turn on VRR in the display settings. So I turn it on, and nothing happens. I research a bit more and many 1-2 year old posts say that only VRR is supported on multiple monitors in Wayland and not G-sync due to Nvidia's bullshit. Have there been any developments about this, and if no, is there any way at all to turn G-sync on with a G-sync and non G-sync monitor at all or am I stuck with using 1 monitor while gaming until Nvidia gets its shit together or I get an AMD GPU?

i know this is a tech support question, and while my performance isnt hindered by it i still want to double check if i have done everything right

when i switched to linux on my laptop i was amazed by how easy of a switch it was. that was also due to me preparing myself with virtual machines back on windows 11 so i didnt jump into the deep unknown.

one thing that still has me questioning if i did it right is the nvidida drivers / gpu recognition.

my laptop has a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 laptop gpu and an AMD ATI Radeon 680M Dgpu.

when i installed my drivers i followed a tutorial wich stated i needed to input this command for my drivers:

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

my gpu afterwards was still not recognized. i installed the nvidida package seen in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcMUyaZZVpo (the nvidia section is located at 22:47)

this also didnt change my gpu or made geforce appear.

did i do this right? is this normal? how do i make my Nvidia gpu appear in neofetch and does geforce even work on Fedora?

thanks in advance

I'm experiencing strange fps drops in Sekiro: Shadows die twice I know it's not a hardware issue since it used to run perfectly on windows. Mostly it's smooth 60fps but it drops to 20 very often, and I don't know what the problem is. *I use proton(tried different version, same issue) GTX 1650 Intel Core i5 10 gen Arch Linux (with cachyOS eevdf kernel) Nvidia 535 drivers * P.S. Issue appears in many relatively new games, so I guess my hardware isn't working at it's full power

I see many people reporting that they have no issue whatsoever installing Steam and playing games in Distrobox's Arch container.

But I can't seem to find whether there'll be any performance benefit. For example, if I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with an ancient Mesa, of course, would there be any performance gain if I run Steam games in Arch container with the latest Mesa?

Hi all!

Until a few weeks ago, my system was running wonderfully and I was getting 81 fps in the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark. Out of nowhere my pc started to become very laggy in games and my average fps in the Cyberpunk benchmark dropped to 50 fps. (And during actual gaming it's often around 20 with a lot of lag spikes)

This is not only Cyberpunk related, but I used this game for reference because of its benchmark function.

Can someone please guide me with troubleshooting? I'm not even sure if it's hardware or software related...

My hardware: Ryzen 1700 (oc to 3800mhz), 16gb ddr4 3000mhz, RX 5700 XT, WD_BLACK SN770 (2tb nvme SSD)

Software: Arch Linux (kernel 6.8.5) Gnome 46 VRR feature flag enabled (and applied in settings) Latest mesa driver

What I've tried so far: Reseating the RAM and GPU, Older kernel (one that I knew worked well before), Other Proton versions (also Proton GE), Fresh install a game (Satisfactory), Disable VRR

Is it possible to change the polling rate for a controller in fedora linux? I tried using option hidusb jspoll=1 but it just tells me that the options command isn’t actually a command. Im a noob to linux so kinda need help.

OS: Arch (6.8.5) Proton: GE:9_3

Frequent audio stutters and loud pops / spikes when in towns (novigrad) and playing gwent. Not specifically bgm. Read on protondb that adding an xaudio2_7 override would somehow help, but that only made the stuttering worse and the audio spikes more frequent.

Curious if others have encountered similar issues?

BF1, PayDAy 2, New World, many games which where playing fine no longer are playable in my rig. I'm using Debian 11 stable. What could have caused it?

So to get time crisis 5 up and running. 1. Create new win 7 prefix 64bit in lutris. 2. Download timecrisis 5 rom and extract to c drive in new prefix 3. Download demulshooter latest 4. DemulShooter, you will need to set up your controller by using its GUI program. 5. Run the non-GUI version of DemulShooterX64 with the following parameters, and make sure DemulShooter is still running before starting the game:

demulshooterX64.exe -target=es3 -rom=tc5 After that, you can boot Time Crisis 5: 6. "TimeCrisisGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" -NOINI -Language=INT -playside=1 7. Now you have TC5 running. Only issue is I cannot start game as wont detect my input e.g 1 to input coin etc. Need help

So, several years ago, I was a Windows user with a HTC Vive Cosmos, and well, that doesn't work on Linux, so I need a new one.

I've so far looked at:

• Valve Index, it's getting old, but has linux support.
• Valve Deckard, Not yet released, but probably an improvement over the Index.
• HTC Vive Pro 2, not as old as the index and probably going to stay on top for some time.

I've looked at the Oculus versions as well, but in the way of Linux support, they don't look so good, so what I'm wondering if, should I just go for the index, the Vive Pro 2, or just wait for the Deckard to drop? Alternatively, I could dual boot to get my cosmos to work, I still have it.

I figure you guys are the best people to give me advice on this, if you have any better ideas than the ones I've mentioned, any additional advice is welcome.

I just want to know what you are playing 😁

furthermore, whenever I play games with my dedicated nvidia gpu, it works fine for a while (albeit with some distracting screen-tearing issues) until I start to get some extreme lag, this is the only thing stopping me from switching to linux.
