FPS drops in ubi games
Hello, I have a problem specifically with Ubisoft games, in watch dogs 2 I get around 60 fps at very high settings, but after I play for 2-3 mins fps drops to 20, and main problem is Assasins creed Oddysey, problem is when I play on high preset I get 70 stable fps but when I switch to very high I get 20 and it crashes, my guess it’s might be something with shader compilation, seeking for help

Low FPS on CachyOS
I have an RX 6600 and a Ryzen 5 5600X.
My problem is basically that if I leave Linux open for too long, like 3-4 hours, when I try to open a game, the FPS is very low. For example: I was studying, then I went to play after a few hours and this problem occurred.
I had this problem on Fedora, then I switched to CachyOS and the problem persists.
Edit: I'm using KDE Plasma without extensions on CachyOS.
One thing that solved it was logging out and then logging back in or just restarting the PC. For some reason, it returns to normal.
Please help me.

NonSteamLaunchers v4.2.81 - Adds new .desktop feature to the decky plugin version allowing you to run all your non steam games outside of steam. Plus more bugs fixes.
Over the course of these past couple weeks I was doing updates mainly focused on allowing people to be able to run their games outside of steam if they wanted to. This new update now applies the new features to the decky plugin version of NSL. When you install a game, the desktop mode will get a .desktop file of that game. Working with KDE and ready to play through steam, or Standalone without steam running. :)

Steam requires user namespaces to be enabled?
Suddenly have this starting to show up, what is needed to be done? Weirdly re-opening steam is fine, but this comes up each time the OS is booted.
The odd part is here, I don't have any flatpaks installed. I do however have two steams, "Steam" and "Steam (Native)", assumably installed from the cachy OS gaming-meta package.
OS: CachyOS

Which open source projects need contribution from developers these days?
For example if I look at wine, I don´t really see issue one can contribute on (on github at least). Can someone guide me on this?
Of course wine is an option but I am open to many other projects, essentially I want to help the community so that people are more encouraged to switch to linux for gaming as well. I have both knowledge of C/C++ but im also interested in kernel and drivers

A fair comparison on my trials with Linux Mint and CachyOS
Just so you know, I love Mint and kinda have been using for years, but then I started wanting to game on Linux (just because) and wanted to get rid of windows.
My video board is a RTX 4080 SUPER. All the rest I think it's irrelevant.
And I prefer a resolution of 4k (3840x2160)
Linux Mint:
PROS
- Everything works fine, I love the installer, I love how everything works and you don't have trouble with tweaks and shit.
- Easy to install anything
- You are in control to tweak here and there as nothing comes pre-configured.
- The Sleep or Screen shutting down are not a problem. The screen will turn on.
CONS
- Fractional Scaling is still terrible as some games won't coupe with it. My Red Dead Redemption 2 will use a resolution of 5k per 3k or something because I'm on a scale of 150% as I wanna use a 4k resolution in my monitor. This breaks the game btw.
- Streaming in Discord is still an issue for X11. Everything gets slower dropping frames when streaming.
- Screen tearing as I prefer 4k resolution. The solution is to enforce Full Composition by NVidia settings, but this will cost some games that use DXVK (e.g. Warcraft 3 Reforged). You need to disable the Full Composition by NVidia to make these games run.
- Sunshine Streaming will lose the mouse cursor in the remote screen when accessing it for the second time. (I found someone mentioning a fix for that here in reddit, but it didn't work for me. I think it's because of me using NVidia).
CachyOS
PROS
- Installer simpler as well.
- Easy to install anything (Except that I'm a bit scared of what "paru" is doing. I get scared of how much it does when I install "nordvpn-bin". So much script and shit).
- Games work super good on it. Only in CS2 I have to enable XWayland, so Steam overlay is able to work with it.
- Fractional Scaling works better. I don't see the same trouble as in Linux Mint.
- Discord streaming works fine as well. I don't notice dropped frames as in Linux Mint.
- Sunshine Streaming don't lose the mouse cursor as in Linux Mint.
CONS
- Screen tearing still happens on 4k resolution.
- Sleep or Screen shutdown still requires from you to type CTRL + ALT + F1 and then F2 to make the screen turn on again (which is opening terminal session and then back to graphical).
- Sometimes I don't like the much it's been done for me. I like to install and configure some stuff by myself.
Right now I'm sticking to CachyOS as I wanna still keep playing some repack games on my TV and sometimes join some Discord with my friends. Sometimes I stream on Discord too.
