I need help from a dual-booting penguin who has an RTX 5070/80/90, and will happily repay the favor...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 19:24

(I messaged a mod to make sure this was kosher ~6 hours ago and am still waiting on a response. If this kind of post is frowned upon, please let me know and I'll remove it.)

I purchased a new 5000-series nVidia GPU recently and it qualifies for a free copy of Resident Evil: Requiem. Unfortunately, to redeem it, I need to have the nVidia App (which only runs on Windows). I haven't dual-booted in over a decade, and buying a copy of Windows just to be able to get the free game doesn't make much sense, so I'd like to ask the community here for a volunteer. Upon selection, I'll give you the redemption code to put into the nVidia App, you'll pass the Steam key it gives you back to me, then I'll purchase a game of your choosing up to $10 in value (either on Steam, in which case I'll gift it directly to your account, or on a site like Fanatical, GameBillet, etc., and give you the key -- wherever the game is cheaper).

To qualify, you just need to 1) have a 5070 or higher nVidia GPU on a computer that has Windows installed (virtual machines won't cut it), 2) comment in this thread, and 3) have at least one comment or post in this subreddit in the last 60 days.

Good luck, have fun, and thanks for being willing to help me out! :)

NVIDIA GT520M outputs lower FPS than the integrated GPU.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 19:12

After hours of BIOS f*ckery, i have finally managed to re-enable my discrete GPU which is an Nvidia GeForce GT520M. I've downgraded to Debian 11 Bullseye and installed the latest driver (390.157) for this ancient Fermi GPU. It took a while but i've properly set up all Bumblebee stuff too.

$ optirun glxinfo | grep renderer OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 520M/PCIe/SSE2 $

But the glxgears FPS results were kind of disappointing considering the amount of effort i have put into reviving this GPU.

optirun glxgears - ~1600FPS (with nvidia-smi -pm 1) glxgears (using the HD 3000) - ~8000FPS

So is this truly a limitation of these Optimus GPU setups (where the GPU itself isnt connected to the display, but the iGPU is) or did i do something wrong?

death stranding 2 issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 18:38

The game seems to run pretty perfect for me during gameplay since switching to proton experimental but during cutscenes it freezes and becomes entirely unresponsive. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Worried about Crimson Desert performance with AMD (9070xt)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 17:57

From what I'm seeing, this game is RT heavy and not any better with RT off. Were really relying on ray regeneration and RT to smooth this game out and even being an AMD sponsored game, its running better on Nvidia. Will we even see ray regeneration on Linux any time soon? Will it be baked in game? I'm really looking forward to it but having doubts after seeing benchmarks ran. Im using Cachy os with a 9070xt / 7800x3d. What do you think? Anyone else worried?

Death Stranding 2 fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 17:33

If you get the winevulkan loader_thunks.c error on Bazzite in Steam running Death Stranding 2, just try changing Proton to 'proton-cachyos-10' using ProtonPlus or any similar tool. For me, it instantly fixed the issue.

Death Stranding 2 Performance

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 17:09

Just picked this up, I know it's launch day so there are probably quirks and issues, but I've been getting some serious stutters and was wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same? typically these stutters are occurring when I am moving around, or turning the camera, and the overall performance doesn't seem to line up with my specs.

Nobara Linux KDE v43

NVIDIA 4070 Super

7800x3d

Don't typically have problems with other titles.

Hello Linux gamers, I was wondering if Crimson Desert is compatible with Linux. I've checked protondb.com, but I haven't found any reviews yet. Has anyone here had the opportunity to try the game and can confirm if it runs smoothly?

Fluorine Manager (Mod Organizer 2 Linux Port) 0.1.1 Release, Distro Related Fixes, SLR support, And Logging

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 16:33

Fluorine Manager serves as a port of Mod Organizer 2

As the changelog goes,:

With this release Ubuntu based distros now no longer need to install libxcb-cursor, also related to this libfuse3 not found warning has also been fixed for ubuntu based distros.

SLR support has been added, this mainly fixes issues with distros if they don't have 32 bit libs enabled. This also provides better tracking and monitoring for game processes.

Fedora had a missing libicui.so file this is now fixed and should work again on Fedora.

Bazzite Game Mode had issues detecting and running instances when only in game mode, this is now fixed. Thank you to .kexodus in discord for helping test this issue.

Logs are now generated in the /logs folder when you run fluorine, this should make it easier to share issues that come up.
