Is my computer good enough for Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 11:40

With how trash Microsoft is being I do want to switch over to Linux, but for gaming everything I see says you have to trick the game into thinking it’s on windows, and that takes up some performance. My computer is an Alienware x15 with a rtx 3060 laptop gpu, 16 g ddr5, and I believe a 12th gen intel i7 (I’ll check up once I get home from work). I play a lot of different games and don’t mind using lower settings, but I’m just worried about having enough power to actually play what I want. My main worry is star citizen with how unoptimized it is.

Hollow Knight bad performance on Ubuntu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 10:17
  • Ubuntu 25.10 with Plasma 6
  • Kernel 6.17.0-19-generic
  • Nvidia Driver 580.126.09
  • 3060 Laptop GPU and Intel i5-12500H

Game runs at a choppy 60FPS, and only goes up to 100 in the main menu, both with proton (hotfix, experimental, GE, 10; all work the same) and native. Also consumes a crap tonne of battery, even though other games like Helldivers work just fine. Tell me what to include if you need logs, cause I have no clue what to look for.

Gaming frames issue. Solved but Why is CPU not automatically switching modes?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 07:18

So i switched to linux mint in Oct 2025. I have a I9 and a RTX 3060
In general I had no issues games were working fine. The issues I had was random frame drops and performance issues (mainly with KCD2, Age of Empires2, Crimson desert, HoI4 etc). I thought maybe my 3060 is not meant to run such games but I was not convinced. While checking my systems yesterday i noticed that my CPU is always running in power save mode (even during gaming).

So when I switched to Performance mode the games became buttery smooth no hicups or lags. FPS went from 29 to 54-60. And I can play these games with Vsyc now.

So i was thinking why is the CPU on restart always on power save mode and not automatically switch to performance mode during heavy load applications?

Limiting FPS with Goverlay causes stuttering

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 04:54

I recently did a clean install of cachyOS with KDE, and I wanted to limit the FPS. I tried the late/early method, but both cause stuttering. Early mode is stranger because the frametime looks fine, but the image shows frame jumps. I wanted to do what you do in Windows to configure FreeSync, but for some reason, I'm still getting stuttering. Is this a Goverlay problem? Is there another limiter similar to RTSS?
