9070xt/9800x3d

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 14:54

So when i first built my pc, i installed endeavourOS with no gpu(so igpu), and like 2 months later i installed a gigabyte 9070xt, not sure if this impacts anything but oh well. I've noticed a lot of games run a lot poorer than expected, I did install all the necessary packages like mesa(I think). Here's some info for the games i've played:

Minecraft(Complementary reimagined +euphoria patches, popular settings): ~30-90fps
BeamNG . drive ultra: ~40fps
Spider Man Miles Morales very high with some fsr: ~50-60fps

Am I wrong or is this not normal?

60hz secondary monitor alongside 144hz primary - any way to make it feel smoother?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 14:27

Hello. I'm on Bazzite Desktop (Plasma KDE) with an AMD 7800X3D and Nvidia 4060. I recently acquired an older second monitor since I was lacking one and while it is more useful than annoying, there is one unfortunate problem: the refresh rate difference.

I can usually get used to 60fps on stuff after a while of solely using it. But having 60 right next to my 144hz monitor is pretty constantly jarring - the second one feels mega jittery basically any time I do anything on it. It's not really a big deal but I'm pretty sensitive to that stuff so if I can do anything about it I'm going to.

So far I've mostly dealt with it by keeping anything framerate related on my primary monitor (games, videos over 60fps, etc), and a few UI effects have helped, like wobbly windows. But I was curious if anyone else has any tricks for making 60fps feel smoother?

I suppose I could mention that I tried overclocking it, but when I say it's older, it's older - the newest port it has is DVI, and it's currently hooked up to a VGA to DP cord that came with it lol.

Which desktop environment?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 14:02

So I was using KDE Plasma Wayland, and Genshin was crashing at 1 to 4 fps. Intel i3-4150T Intel HD 4400 8GB DDR3 RAM

With Proton Sarek for DX11 support via Steam

But on X11 It's giving me around 40 to 60 fps on 720p low, which is the same setting as on Windows/Wayland.

I am on Cachyos.

But now the game works for exactly 10 seconds. It runs smoothly for 10 seconds before freezing and crashing. I am using the following launch options:

nmcli n off; %command% & pid=$! && sleep 12; nmcli n on && wait $pid

It somehow makes the game load faster.

Is there any fix?

Running geforce now on handheld focused distros?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 13:45

I'm planning to switch over to Linux as soon as I know native geforce now works on Linux (currently official is steam deck locked but there's some github projects to skip that hardware check).

Electron version of geforce now added on windows atleast a clear input delay for me.

Does anyone have a handheld focused Linux and running geforce now on it?

Is bazzite the goto distro for this?

(specifically rog ally x extreme 2024)

Can you run steamOS or similar on usb and run games via a vacant NVME you have?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 13:10

Just asking if it’s possible to host the steam OS on to a 25 gb usb 3.0 usb stick and then download the games I wanna play on a vacant 2TB blue western NVME ssd and still have solid performance. Lmk please. Thank you! Also would teamspeak, discord, etc work correctly on this same setup? I just wanna keep windows 11 for my gta 5 and then when possible swap to Linux for game time on those games that don’t block Linux. Thanks!

MediaTek MT7920 Wi-Fi stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 12:42

[Nobara Linux 42] MediaTek MT7920 Wi-Fi stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

Hardware:

Laptop: Acer Nitro V15 (QNV15-41-R2GT)

Wi-Fi card: MediaTek MT7920

Distro:

Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma)

Clean install (Ubuntu was completely removed)

Issue:

Wi-Fi networks are detected but never connect

NetworkManager gets stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

No password prompt appears

Connection never completes

What I already tried:

Full system update

linux-firmware installed

mt7921e driver is loaded correctly

rfkill list → nothing blocked

Tested multiple kernels via GRUB (6.17.x and 6.16.x)

Secure Boot disabled

Wired connection / USB tethering works fine

Same behavior across all tested kernels

Result:

Wi-Fi always stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the same hardware works out of the box

Question:

Is there a known Nobara/Fedora + NetworkManager issue with the MediaTek MT7920?

Any clean solution (without downgrading NetworkManager or recompiling drivers)?
