hey guys, i just imigrated to Linux Mint, because of my work (IA DEV) and even more for games. I saw many things, read many things and did many things on my pc, but guys, my pc its freezing out of nowhere, dropping fps on games, all the things the usally didnt happend when i was using Windowns. Im just posting here cuz im sure that might be a problem or smt wrong that i did.

While it's not quite Verified for Steam Deck just yet, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault should be a reasonably good experience.

Current setup:

Linux for non-gaming things (CachyOS or Omarchy)

Windows for gaming (Windows 11 Professional with WinAeroTweaker setup)

both on separate SSDs.

Build:

Ryzen 7 7800x3D

PNY 4080 Super

32GB RAM

Mediatek m7922 networking card (mentioning because i need to get a different card if i fully swap to linux, this card doesnt do 5ghz on linux for some reason)

I have been trying to migrate all my non-battlefield/fortnite gaming over to linux, but even in games where my 4080 super has enough raw power to overcome the -20% hit on DX12, i find that a lot of games are just jitterier in general, regardless of distro. The Witcher 3, the Finals, etc all have this issue where regardless of the settings i flip around, its almost always stuttery when it is not this way on windows.

A month ago i ordered and tried a Sapphire Pulse 9070xt but i returned it after a day because it had crazy coil whine and I believe it had a power issue as it kept turning off if i put the side of my case on (bumping the cables). None of these happen with my 4080 super.

With the Steam Machine coming out next year, and with Valve contributing to the AMD side of drivers and compatibility, I am hopeful that there becomes a solution where anticheat games get linux compatibility. What I am nervous about is that compatibility only working on SteamOS which only supports AMD and not Nvidia.

I know we can not predict the future; its possible that if/when the anticheat on linux thing happens that it works for Nvidia too, or that the DX12 fix gets implemented and my 4080 super becomes similarly stable on linux as it is on windows.

My fear is that we are seemingly going into another long GPU shortage, and the opportunity to swap to an AMD card will no longer be an option. The PowerColor Red Devil 9070xt is $650 USD for Black Friday, and I could probably sell my 4080 super for around $800-$900.

My question is this: Are my fears dumb, and should I just stick with my 4080 super and hope that linux becomes more viable in the near future so i can get my higher performance card to perform as well in linux as it does on windows, or should i jump on this probably last chance to get a good AMD card and benefit now?

Thank you Linux Experts!

My games from steam works just fine. But when it comes to pirated games I just can't get them to work. I've tried watching tutorials, I've tried Lutris and Heroic games launcher I'm probably doing something wrong or missing some step I'm using Pop_OS, can someone help?

On heroic games launcher I can run my games but it goes super laggy it's impossible to play I also saw somewhere that I can add non-steam games to steam so I can use proton, I tried this but any game simply won't launch

While playing games my GPU never reaches 100% only being about 40 - 60% as you can see in the screenshot (Was taken while playing cs2) even tho the target is at 2.5 Ghz

Specs:

product: Navi 22 [Radeon RX 6700/6700 XT/6750 XT / 6800M/6850M XT]
vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:12:00.0
logical name: /dev/fb0
version: c5
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm pciexpress msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom fb
configuration: depth=32 driver=amdgpu latency=0 mode=1920x1080 resolution=2560,1440 visual=truecolor xres=1920 yres=1080

Kernal: 6.8.0-88-generic (64-bit)

OS: Kubuntu 24.04

What I have tried:

Using LACT I have my Preformance level set to Highest clocks.

EDIT:
Using htop I can see that none of my cores are going above 50% most are at around 40%
Also I have 5 5600G which should 100% strong enough for my 6700xt

Performance is also mediocre while gaming. for example avg fps in cs2 on low settings being 150 fps

I'm switching to Zorin OS 18 but I have some questions about gaming: Is it true that games on DirectX 12 run much worse than on Windows? I have a GTX 1650 and I've heard that Nvidia drivers are very bad, and also that Wine and Proton aren't good for running games with DirectX 12. Cyberpunk currently runs at 35 FPS on Windows 11 with medium graphics settings and FSR quality mode. Will I lose much performance on Linux?

I built a htpc recently with bazzite installed and j got myself a 9070. Since im gna be gaming at 4k I wanted to make sure that I can use fsr 4, so I search online and saw a guide where the person said to get ge proton (im on 10-25) and to use the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1. The first game i tried was cyberpunk which didnt show the fsr 4 toggle until i added %command% next i tried wukong with the same PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command% launch option and the fsr 4 toggle doesnt show. I also tried tsushima but idk if that jst displays fsr 3.14 but uses fsr 4 instead or its supposed to have a toggle. Ge proton has been set as default compatibility layer in steam but jst in case i set them in the game specific settings as well. Optiscaler is easy enuf to setup but im lz to get a mnk for each game each time any help wld be appreciated thanks.

Will Nvidia ever begin to outperform AMD once DX12 gets fixed? Or is AMD always the way to go?

I started trying to switch to Linux from Windows 10 on my desktop about a week ago. I use Linux Mint with GeForce 1060. I used Mint driver Manager and tried 3 different drivers (530, 580, 570). I managed to run Victoria 3 without issues (on Proton DB it says that it has native linux support), and Total War Pharaoh Dynasties (on Steam). However, when I try running Cyberpunk 2077 or Prey from Heroic launcher they run very very slowly. In Cyberpunk (it has gold rank on Proton DB) even the intro credits stutter and render slowly.

I don’t want to complain too much given how great Steam has been for Linux gaming. But I can’t help but notice that if I have steam open for a long time (several hours +), I start having serious issues launching games.

And all I have to do is quit steam and restart the app, but it’s still odd that this is not fixed as it’s been a problem for a long time. Anecdotally I know several other people who game on Linux and have the same problem. There must be something going on with Linux runtime or some other compatibility layer running in the background that goes to shit after some time.

Any insight on this or potential fix?

I’m running pop OS 22.04 on a 10 gen i9 and rtx 3070ti

It's splitting time? TimeSplitters Rewind has released for free and it should work just fine on Linux / SteamOS thanks to Proton.

Honestly hope this doesn't count as spam or anything like that but I really have no idea where to go from here

I've been using Linux constantly in my machine Ryzen 5 5500 Nvidia RTX 4060 32gb of ram Etc

But when playing games like arc raiders or the finals the performance difference is huge, more so in arc raiders as I've been playing it more

I use the Nvidia (open kernel modules ) propietary drivers, and have used arch, nixos, fedora among gnome,KDE, hyprland etc but the game runs way worse, to put it into context in order to start getting close to my windows performance: 80-90 fps high, ray tracing high, dlss 67%. On Linux I have to use static lighting, medium settings and dlss balanced to only get around 60-70 fps but it's pretty unstable

On a final note, I have also used different proton versions and even proton-ge, is there something I am missing here? Or do I have to just accept it? Would suck a lot because Linux works great for everything else I do

I'm new to Linux (especially when it comes to gaming) and, to complicate things a bit more, I'm emulating Linux on my Android device (Odin 2 Pro) using Winlator (or Gamehub, etc.).

I tried installing the game on Steam, but it wouldn't launch due to the error "easy anti cheat launch error failed to initialize wine helper buffer".

Any suggestions?

I own an Asus ROG Strix G18PM Ryzen 9 8940HX, RTX 5060 and thinking about switching to Bazzite.

Has anyone had any experience with these laptops and can say what works and what doesn't? I'm not familiar with it, but I know that ARMOURY Crate, for example, only works on Windows. And what is the current situation with RTX GPUs :)?

Thanks for reading and possibly replying.

One of the great things about Valve's hardware is that it's not locked down, and they put a lot of money into open source for SteamOS (Linux).
