New to Linux and running Nobara on a laptop with Nvidia graphics.

For general purposes the experience has been great - better web browsing, faster file browsing etc. Pretty seamless.

Gaming is a little awkward. Performance is generally quite good, but only if I play on my laptop display. As soon as I connect to my external monitor (over USB C displayport) I get significantly worse performance and increased lag.

Taking Hades 2 as an example, I can run it maxed out no issues at my laptop's refresh rate (120hz) with decent latency and even frame pacing. But when I switch to my monitor, frame pacing goes out the window, and the only way to make it smooth is to turn vsync on, which not only makes it incredibly laggy (far beyond vsync on Windows) but also reduces framerate to below 80 fps. For comparison I usually run it at 165 fps locked on my external monitor in Windows with even framepacing.

My monitor runs at a higher resolution, so I tested it at my laptop screen's resolution for a more even comparison, and the results barely changed, almost as if the issue has nothing to do with actual GPU performance.

From what I can understand, the issue seems to be some unholy combination of Nvidia drivers, optimus hybrid laptop, and VRR support. I've tried other distros and keep running into the same issue.

I'm wondering if there are any experienced Linux users who might have a fix. If I can just get this one thing worked out I can probably drop Windows for good.

Hello everybody, I am a new Linux user and I am experiencing the need of a really good modern functioning software that is capable to fully work with elgato stream deck. There are a lot of solution in the community but none of them does really meet my requirements. So I started developing my own. The premises are it has to work with X11 and Wayland seamlessly with all the kdes around there and I am developing on cashyOS which is an arch Linux distribution. My goal is to create a clone of the original Windows software by elgato. But what I need are peer reviews and what I mean is someone willing to help with suggestions to improve the user experience and the functionality of that sad piece of software. Now this is my first approach on developing a software in my entire life, so please be gentle 🙂. Who of you would be willing to participate in a screen sharing? Wir discord to explore the current state of the software, the future of the functions which have to be implemented and maybe also give advice and opinions?

Now, let's use them for really cool stuff.

With this MR, RADV can compile any-hit and intersection shaders separately. No more forced inlining of everything into one humongous megashader!

In games that heavily use/compile any-hit/intersection shaders, this entails some really crazy improvements across all GPU generations:

Compiling RT pipelines in UE4 games with raytracing (e.g. Ghostwire Tokyo, The Callisto Protocol) becomes 10 times faster. Yes, an order of magnitude! In one Ghostwire Tokyo Fossilize capture I gathered, time to replay went from 4 minutes and 20 seconds to just 20 seconds.

These UE games also tended to have quite terrible stuttering whenever a new RT pipeline was compiled.

That stuttering is gone completely.

On top of that, runtime performance improves by a lot [in affected applications] as well. Who knew that inlining hundreds of shaders into an incredibly hot loop might be bad for performance?!

From quick napkin math, I think the pure RT performance in Ghostwire Tokyo improves by over 2x. In any case, FPS goes from ~30 to ~40 on my 7900XTX.

It seems like with the MR, we roughly match Windows performance in the Ghostwire Tokyo scene I tested, as well.

Performance improvements on different apps/non-UE4 titles may vary, but I'm pretty sure quite a few apps should benefit. (Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't, though. It only really uses 1 any-hit shader at the maximum and is therefore unaffected by this MR.)

I've been working in the game industry for about 15 years and I had to fight tooth and nail to be able to use Linux in various studios. Most companies really don't like that and I had to resort to mischievous tactics sometimes 😛.

Now I started making my own games ON Linux, FOR Linux. The ability to inspect, debug and program everything on my OS was key to managing that. I can not thank the community enough for all the help I got along this journey. I've been considering making `.rmp` and `.deb` packages for my games as well, but apparently flatpack is a more popular option now?

So that's me giving back to the community as much as I can. Let me know what you think of the game!

i use arch, btw

I'm on fedora kde and when I create a world for the first time or join one, my CPU usage goes up to 80-90% at 74-75°C for a while (causing the game to lag a lot), and then it returns to normal. I noticed that the game sometimes uses the CPU much more than the dedicated GPU. Is this normal in Java games with world generation like hytale and minecraft? And yes, my PC is above the recommended requirements (ryzen 5 7600, rtx 3060 12vram, 32gb). Oh and I also noticed that it used a little bit of my swap memory. Are you guys experiencing the same on linux?

And when I installed the flatpak, I found it a little strange that it didn't pull anything from flathub, only the launcher showed up. Is that because I already have what it needs, or is that really what's expected?

Is there a Linux program to monitor CPU and GPU temperatures that automatically log them to files, keeping a record for months/years? I thought it would be useful to look for slow increases of max temp and whether there are significant changes when dusting out the case or applying fresh thermal paste. Also I am an incurable data hoarder.

Hi everyone, this might not be the right subreddit, but r/linux won't allow me to post. I was wondering if anyone else has the same (or similar) setup as mine so I can get more info about full GPU passthrough inside of Windows VM running on Linux.

My specs: - MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX II (what concerns me the most) - Ryzen 5 5600X - RTX 3060 - RX 580 on the way

I want to use the RX 580 as the main GPU for my main system (Linux) and fully pass RTX 3060 into the Windows 10/11 VM so I can you know.. game or run some windows-only apps that require GPU acceleration, the regular stuff. What bothers me though is the fact that Deepseek (I know I know I dont't have a better source, so here I am) said that there might be some quirks with IOMMU on the B450 chipset, something about grouping and the inability to pass only the GPU into the VM separately, as well as the that I might need to put the 3060 in the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, it's not the biggest problem, although I've done some benchmarks yesterday in Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm losing about 10-15 FPS (~95 vs ~110) when the 3060 is in the PCIe 2.0 slot, which might not sound like a lot, but I expect the losses will be much more significant in the VM.

Maybe someone has an experience with this motherboard or chipset in this matter? Will be grateful for any advice.

I was getting huge FPS drops and stuttering in GTA IV, especially when going outside. Indoors FPS was high, but outside it tanked hard. Tried a lot of tweaks, but the thing that instantly fixed it was this: ➡️ Enable the Steam Overlay for GTA IV Steps: Open Steam Right-click GTA IV → Properties Enable Steam Overlay Launch the game That’s it. After enabling it, my FPS jumped to 120+ and the stuttering disappeared completely. No graphics changes, no config edits, no mods — just the overlay. This game is weirdly sensitive to how it’s hooked/rendered, and the overlay seems to force proper behavior. Posting this because I haven’t seen many people mention it, and it worked immediately for me. Hopefully it helps someone else who’s losing their mind with GTA IV performance.

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting in the community. I'm really keen to try Bazzite, but I'd like to know how much of a performance difference there is between this operating system and Windows 11. I have a computer with an Intel i3-9100f, an RX 570 4GB, a 512GB NVMe SSD, a 2TB hard drive, and 16GB of RAM. I plan to dual-boot on the SSD, but I'm not sure what will happen to the hard drive. Is there any way to partition the hard drive after installing both operating systems on the SSD, so that one partition is used for Windows and the other for Bazzite? Or do you have any other recommendations? Thanks in advance, greetings from Argentina.

I really wanna change my Windows installation on my pc to a Linux distro, I tried it a few times using Manjaro, Endeavour and Ubuntu, and each time I encountered this weird bug For the record, I run on a Ryzen 7 5800x and an RTX 3060 So I play a lot of Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and on Linux, through Steam's proton and when I alt tabbed out of the game or paused in game during a cinematic, the game would just freeze the video of the cinematic, the sound would still play and the game would play just as normal I tried with both proprietary and open drivers for my GPU, and I didn't really play a lot of other things on these dummies installations so I'm not sure if any other game had glitches or not But if anyone ever encountered this kind of bugs, and knows how to fix it, I'd be grateful to hear how

(If that can help to anyone who never played COE33 but still wanna help, it runs on UE5, and the cinematics are split between audio and video in the game files)

After years on Windows, I am finally ready to switch to Linux.

I am a Data Engineer and I used to frequently use WSL2 to use Ubuntu for my work. I also have a server that I do homelabbing on (Ubuntu Server). I have spare laptops that I installed: Ubuntu, Mint, and most recently CachyOS. However, apart from installing any given distro, I have not actually used it. I just wanted to check if it loads on an older laptop. Now, I am thinking about switching my daily driver from Windows to Linux.

Currently, I am thinking about these requirements:

• Gaming. I have an NVIDIA RTX 2080 and Intel i7. Not something high end, I don't expect to max out the game settings when I play, but I want the performance to just FEEL good.
• Coding. I kind of expect the environment to be good for coding. I usually use Docker, Python, might even want to try kubernetes someday.
• Stability. I'll be honest, I understand that any linux distro is more hands-on than using something like Windows, however I want something reliable and stable, since I might be too tired after work to try and fix my OS after a minor update.
• Non-breaking updates. This might just be a skill issue, but on one of my laptops I updated Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04 some years back and it wiped out everything. I started thinking I should have a rolling release OS to mitigate this, but as I understand, a rolling release is unstable(?). I would also appreciate if you could recommend how I could update distros without wiping my files, given I only have 1 SSD for the time being.

Initially, I wanted to try CachyOS, but I browsed both the subreddit and here and I have found it to be quite unstable and I am unsure if I should make the switch. But also I have heard it is well optimized for both gaming and coding.

Then I look at Debian, but I saw in their forums of some issues with older drivers and unoptimized kernel (if I correctly remember?) that users said there is a reason why gaming specific distros exist - they are optimized for that.

I also considered dual booting Windows + Linux, but I have read plenty that Windows updates wipe the GRUB bootloader and I don't think I have the time of day for that headache. Maybe if I get a second SSD.

I consider myself a newcomer and would love some recommendations on what could fit my use case!

Hey everybody!
I recently installed Pop!_Os because.... windows. Anyway, I have been trying to install steam for the past hour, and nothing is working! I tried getting the .deb from the website, running "sudo apt install steam", and downloading the steam installer off of my distro's package manager, and through the cosmic store. Nothing has worked. An icon appears in my start menu, but clicking it does nothing. Running the steam command in the terminal was resulting in it crashing, but now after trying to install it a different way, it's giving me the output I put at the bottom of the post. I no longer have access to the output it was giving me before because it stopped outputting it. What should I do? I did change the default desktop environment
(cosmic) to cinnamon because I like the feel better, if that might change something. Thanks for any help!!

CPU: Ryzen 5 5500

GPU: RTX 3070 (Yes, I did install the nvidia version of pop os.)

It’s been a year since I switched 100% to Linux, and I couldn’t be happier. Currently running Arch.

One thing I really miss from Windows, though, is the ability to create a virtual display for streaming with Sunshine/Moonlight.

Why is there still no good solution for this on Linux? Given how flexible the OS is, you’d expect there to be some proper way to do it — but I’ve been researching this for a while and haven’t found a solid solution yet.

KDE allows creating a virtual display on Wayland using krfb-virtualmonitor, but I couldn’t get Sunshine to actually use that virtual monitor.

I also couldn’t find a way to change the refresh rate (it defaults to 60 Hz), and it doesn’t support HDR either (which is less important for me).

Another workaround people use is loading a custom EDID (a binary that contains the resolutions supported by a monitor) into a GPU output, essentially tricking the system into thinking a monitor with the desired resolution is connected.

That doesn’t work in my case, though, because my GPU only has three outputs and I’m already using all of them.

Why do you think a proper solution for this hasn’t been implemented on Linux yet?

Is this a technical limitation (Wayland/Xorg, drivers, etc.), or simply a lack of interest?

I’m posting this to gauge interest in the topic and to share knowledge. Thanks for all the help this sub always provides.
