I'm thinking of Switching to Nobara. Will it work for me?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2024 - 5:45pm

I'm using a laptop with Linux Mint installed. My laptop games just fine, but I feel this OS is outdated, so I want to move to the newer one.
So I looked around and found Nobara Linux, built by the goat who makes the 3 games I like playable on Linux. I don't care nor am afraid of switching from Ubuntu-based to Fedora-based, but I'm still thinking about it.
My spec:
i7 1065G7 (No exact model because the old mainboard just broke and I have it upgraded because my exact model is out of stock)

Nvidia MX230 2GB VRAM

2x8GB of RAM

I want some advise for this. Maybe a review from a user or a suggestion will be fine, expectally about Wayland on Nvidia graphics

AMD Undervolt 5700xt

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2024 - 5:36pm

Hi all I'm looking to fix my "Broken" 5700xt.
I've been troubleshooting to try to fix it and I was wondering if there is any GUI or anyway for me to under-volt the GPU.

I'm using Bazzite, and it has been running fine, however when I tried a more demanding game, the issues started to happen again, from what I read online, between changing cables, setting a fixed the refresh rate, cleaning the gpu, the one thing that I haven't tried yet is undervolting it, and I was wondering if there is any software or any way for me to Undervolt my GPU.

Is there any way to use a G-sync compatible monitor alongside a non G-sync one in Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2024 - 1:43pm

I previously had a 2 monitor setup of 2 1920x1080p 60Hz monitors. I upgraded my main one to a 2560x1440p 165h G-sync compatible one as I have an RTX 3060 12GB. I tried turning on G-sync, but it would only work if I disabled my secondary monitor, so I asked for help on this and other forums. I got told that X11 only allows G-sync if all monitors have it, but Wayland doesn't so I should switch to a distro with Wayland, as I was on Linux Mint. After some research, I decided to switch to Fedora KDE. I tried to turn on G-sync, and then realised that is not possible due to the limited options the Nvidia X Server Settings has in Wayland. I researched a bit, and figured out that you have to turn on VRR in the display settings. So I turn it on, and nothing happens. I research a bit more and many 1-2 year old posts say that only VRR is supported on multiple monitors in Wayland and not G-sync due to Nvidia's bullshit. Have there been any developments about this, and if no, is there any way at all to turn G-sync on with a G-sync and non G-sync monitor at all or am I stuck with using 1 monitor while gaming until Nvidia gets its shit together or I get an AMD GPU?

Nvidia gpu + Geforce not detected / working on Fedora linux, advice wanted

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2024 - 1:34pm

i know this is a tech support question, and while my performance isnt hindered by it i still want to double check if i have done everything right

when i switched to linux on my laptop i was amazed by how easy of a switch it was. that was also due to me preparing myself with virtual machines back on windows 11 so i didnt jump into the deep unknown.

one thing that still has me questioning if i did it right is the nvidida drivers / gpu recognition.

my laptop has a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 laptop gpu and an AMD ATI Radeon 680M Dgpu.

when i installed my drivers i followed a tutorial wich stated i needed to input this command for my drivers:

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

my gpu afterwards was still not recognized. i installed the nvidida package seen in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcMUyaZZVpo (the nvidia section is located at 22:47)

this also didnt change my gpu or made geforce appear.

did i do this right? is this normal? how do i make my Nvidia gpu appear in neofetch and does geforce even work on Fedora?

thanks in advance
