• 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.

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

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.

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](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)

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?

Both Proton-GE Latest and GE-Proton10-25 have the same notes in the "i" button. But will the "Latest" update itself when a new one comes out, or will it just download the last version once?

How does that work?

I have a very poorly cooled laptop that will overheat under medium loads, I've tried everything on the hardware side to fix this, including using a laptop stand to lift it up for additional air intake, using different types of thermal paste in hopes of avoiding pump-out and even using phase-changing thermal pads. It doesn't help, limiting power on the software side is the only way, and I can't undervolt as I have a 12th gen Intel chip.

On Windows, my laptops own software was good enough to limit the power of my components when I didn't need them, and I'd use ThrottleStop to add additional power limitations to my CPU depending on the game I was playing. Neither of these softwares are available on Linux, and I would rather not boot to Windows just to change a couple of settings. Are there any alternatives I can try, or will I just be shackled to Windows until I can get a desktop PC?

With a promise of more games coming to it later, the Horror Icons Showcase Humble Bundle has launched with a nice selection already.

While NINJA GAIDEN 4 is Steam Deck Verified, it turns out on Desktop Linux it has some big problems that Valve have hopefully solved now.

As in title; currently I am running following specs:
- RTX 4080 SUPER

- Ryzen 7800X3D

- 32GB RAM DDR5 6000MHz from GSkill

- B650 A ELITE AX V2 mobo

and I mostly play ZZZ, Genshin Impact and some RPGs (Tainted Grail, Pillars of Eternity, Rogue Trader, etc.) as well as some note writing for tabletop RPGs in MS Office. Given all that I am looking to move to Linux, as currently Win11 broke on me more times than I can count.

I am familiar with Linux a little bit, given my job background (Data Analyst with some Data Science and GO programming), but not on the level where I could comfortably spend days on end debugging stuff, given limited time and energy after 9-10 hours of work each day, so the more it's seamless to run, the better. Especially that my last experience with Linux as daily OS was with Debian and configuring CUDA to work in 2020 so... lets say I had some issues then.

Any kind-stranger advice to the newbie?

Hi,
is anyone playing path of exile by any chance and is using the awakened-poe-trade overlay with the game running in gamescope? (gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -F fsr --adaptive-sync --force-grab-cursor -- %command%). Or any other external overlay with gamescope?

Normally, the overlay will recognize keyboard shortcuts done when in-game to perform some action, but when the game is run with gamescope as shown above, the overlay wont recognize the game running / keyboard shortcuts have no effect.

Did anyone had luck running awt + poe or other external overlay in gamescope? Thank you!
