Poor Performance on VR in Linux
So to resume my issue, I noticed that my performance in vr is pretty poor, using VRChat as a game basis, my previous configuration was an RTX 2060 and i9 9900K on W10 and it ran on average at 30-45 FPS, I later on upgrade to an RX 6750 XT and switch to Arch Linux and in most lobbies I end up being caped at 21 FPS somehow, using the latest proton and proton GE RTSP, the settings I use are the same graphically as the RTX 2060
My PSU is 80 Gold 750W Corsair RM750 (pre ATX 3.0)
A little help to get more performance out of stronger hardware would be good
I use Wivrn for the quest link to the PC

Many such cases
It's finally happening! Into The Grid, our indie game about hacking megacorps and exploring cyberspace is launching on Early Access in less than a week! Including native support for linux from day 0. Also, giveaway info inside!
We have been working on Into The Grid for more than 3 years now with a team of more than 10 people, all friends and family.
The game has been supported on Linux since the early development, including prototypes and demos, and the release version will be no less. And it's actually the main platform I play it on.
If you like card games, or dungeon crawlers, or even tabletop games, this may be your cup of tea!
We are also running a giveaway for 3 keys to the game on release day! :)
If you have any questions I'm always around for a quick chat!
Cheers ;)

Huge issues with Path of Exile
Hey, I'm running Fedora 42 with KDE Plasma using KWin wayland on a Ryzen 7 5700x3d and a RX6800.
I'm having issues with Path of Exile 1. As soon as there are lots and lots of monster being rendered the game comes to a literal 1 FPS and the CPU frame time goes up to 1200+ MS. For those knowledgeable about POE this occurs every single time I try to run Blight encounters and sometimes even in ritual. This is with the game running on Vulcan (DX12 crashes the mesa driver for me) and I've tried mulitple proton verions and a bunch of launch options with no difference.
Here's a snap of btop while it's going on:

Here's a clip of how the game looks when it triggers (with metrics top right):

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd really hate having to install windows for just one game.

Core parking on dual CCD x3d cpu being overly aggressive?
Just bought a 9950x3d and have been noticing some strange behavior on linux with it. It seems like when I'm using gamemode it does automatically pin the game properly to my cache cores, which is good HOWEVER when my game is compiling shaders it literally refuses to use the other 8 cores entirely. The CPU will go up to EXACTLY 50% usage when it's compiling. Is there a way to make this more intelligent, I know the x3d schedule driver is included with kernel 6.14 (I'm on 6.17) and I'm using feral gamemode to activate it, afaik.
If anyone knows another or better way of doing this I'd love to know, sometimes I want my game to use all 16 cores, TY

Problem with F.E.A.R. (EchoPatch)
Hi, so I installed the GoG Version of FEAR with the EchoPatch, game runs flawlessly as far as I can tell, only issue is, that when tabbing out and back in, the game crashes and says "Unable to restore video mode". I am using CachyOS with Proton-CachyOS and launch the game via Lutris. I also put in the DLL-Override that is mentioned on the EchoPatch Github.
Any idea to fix that issue? Help would be appreciated.

minecraft no longer working
i’m on linux mint 22.1 cinnamon and have been playing minecraft using prism launcher for a few months now no problems, but now whenever i launch the game all i get is a black screen. i can still hear the game and click stuff in the background but i cant see anything.
my boyfriend helped me change around my video drivers (im on an rtx 2060) but it only launches minecraft when im on the latest 580 open nvidia with the game window being all black but the game still working. the game will work normally on the nouveau drivers but performance is not ideal.
other system info: cpu: 11th gen core i7 11700f memory: 16 gb linux kernel: 6.8.0-87-generic cinnamon version: 6.4.8

Just bought RDR 2 and it runs like a crape on my device.
I'm having a serious issue running Red Dead Redemption 2 on Fedora. I've tried Proton Experimental, Proton 9.0-4 stable, and multiple Proton GE versions, but the problem is the same across all of them. The game boots extremely slowly at first (likely shader compilation) and when it finally loads, the audio plays normally but the graphics are completely broken and corrupted. GPU usage stays at 0% according to MangoHUD.
This is the only game giving me this issue. Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil Village, RE4 Remake, and The Last of Us Part II all run perfectly fine on this system using Proton.
My specs:
- Ryzen 5 8600G
- Radeon 760M iGPU (UMA Frame Buffer: 8GB)
- 32 GB DDR5 6000 MHz RAM (dual channel)
- 1TB WD Blue Gen4 NVMe SSD
Has anyone running Fedora experienced this specifically with RDR2? Is this possibly a Mesa issue with Fedora 42? Any working configuration advice would be appreciated.

EU5 works fine on my Linux box.
It also works perfectly with ibus (ibus-hangul). I was a bit worried when Paradox announced it as Windows-only, but it runs just fine.
Huge thanks to the Linux community and all FOSS developers!

Nvidia driver: 580.105.08
- Added a new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, to allow for disabling the default behavior of boosting the GPU to a higher power state when running CUDA applications. Setting this environment variable to '1' will disable the boost.
- Fixed an issue that caused the vfio-pci module to soft lockup after powering off a VM with passed-through NVIDIA GPUs.
- Fixed a recent regression which prevented HDMI FRL from working after hot unplugging and replugging a display.
- Fixed a bug that caused Rage2 to crash when loading the game menu: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/rage-2-crashes-when-entering-the-map-seems-nvidia-specific-problem/169063
- Fixed a bug that caused Metro Exodus EE to crash: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/580-release-feedback-discussion/341205/53
- Fixed a bug that allowed VRR to be enabled on some modes where it isn't actually possible, leading to a black screen.
- Fixed a bug that could cause some HDMI displays to remain blank after unplugging and re-plugging the display.
- Fixed an issue that would prevent large resolution or high refresh rate modes like 7680x2160p@240hz from being available when using HDMI FRL or DisplayPort.
Reminder that this is a minor release on the 580 production branch, important changes (like the DX12 performance fix) will come in a new beta release.

GOG linux games installer
Do games that sold on GOG typically install only to a user folder? I am referring to those that states 'supported on linux', which I assume do not require WINE or any emulation.
Do they typically require root and install into system folders?
TIA

Radiant Silvergun on Linux
I played Radiant Silvergun on my low-end spec notebook PC (LIFEBOOK U938/S) running both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04. Ubuntu ran it significantly smoother.

Does anyone have solid guide how to install Vortex for modding skyrim on linux (ubuntu/popos)?
I was researching for hours and every guide I could find was incomplete or not working o had disclaimer that for skyrim some other things might be necessary. Is there some robust guide that will work for any modpack? I would use MO2, but I want to install gate to sovngarde modpack which is 1800 mods plus so I'd rather do it as author intended and I'm not familiar with MO2.

FOSDEM now has a Linux Gaming and VR track
[FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2026/) is a huge Free and Open Source convention happening in Belgium at the start of February.
Historically it's been highly technical and it's been hard to find a good place to talk about Linux gaming there. Tracks typically include subjects like "Declarative and Minimalistic Computing" and "Open Media" which is about video codecs.
This year we've succeeded in getting a "Linux Gaming and VR" track approved, so I wanted to get the news out that there's a good opportunity this year to present Linux gaming projects in front of a large audience.
To present a talk one will have to submit a proposal on the FOSDEM site, and be present in Belgium on February 1 (Sunday)

Going back to Linux, looking for a quick recommendation.
Hello everyone. Well, to put it short, I've used Linux a lot of times and have done thousands of things with it. Though due to my job and other circumstances had to crawl (painfully) back to windows.
I want to go back to Linux fully, but the distro I used, ArcoLinux, is not being maintained anymore and installing it is quite the pain now due to that.
I tried CachyOS but I couldn't install pamac and I refuse to use octopi, hate it with a passion. Pamac install failed due to some missing dependencies and when trying to install such dependencies they didn't install, so I'm looking for alternatives to CachyOS, anything recommended?
