I'm using a laptop running arch on legacy Nvidia drivers

I recently installed some emulators like rpcs3, pcsx2 and dolphin and none of them detect my dedicated gpu instead only my integrated one.

I feel like I can squeeze some performance out of my 940mx but I can't for the life of me use this Intel hd 630

I'm pretty sure it's not a driver issue since steam detects it just fine

have I missed a step or did something wrong?

This is my recent experience with AMD Rewards being a Linux user.

I hope others are not hitting this issue but thought it would be good to put down my experience as a warning

I bought a new AMD graphics card on the 9th March from a verified retailer.

I received a game code at the same time for Crimson Desert (code valid until 19th May)

I logged in to AMD Rewards, I already had an account, and registered the code.

I downloaded the script, which I knew would likely not work correctly as I have previously gone through this process for a previous graphics card, and sure enough even after making it executable it could not work out what graphics card I had.

As mentioned I have had this problem before, and resolved that by opening a support ticket.

So I did this again, opened a support ticket, explained I am on Linux and have ran the script which did not work.

First interaction was to make sure my code was valid.

Next I was asked for a copy of my invoice, nothing odd here I was asked last time, which I then provided.

These interactions took place over three days up until 12th March.

All pretty quick and much the same as my previous communications for the previous game I got.

Then radio silence.

I hear nothing for a week, I send a request for an update

Then 2 weeks. So I send a request for an update

Here we are on the 10th April, no communication, no update, after multiple requests for an update.

I do not believe I am getting the code for my game and if I go truly tin foil hat moment I suspect people at the AMD Rewards support side are probably taking them.

There does not appear to be an escalation process and no other support contacts other than the main contact address so I think at this stage I am out of luck but thought it would be good to bring it to others attention in case they are factoring in the price of the game to the cost of the graphics card as a sweetener to justify the cost, I know I was, that you might not get the game.

If anyone knows how I can escalate this it would be appreciated.

Running cachyos on an nvidia optimus laptop.

I've had ongoing problems from a few games (cs source, Fist full of frags and mechwarrior online) that have been freezing, using the wrong gpu and forcing limited resolution options in game that were lower than my native screen res.

I managed to get Lutris to install finally and imported what it would pick up of my steam library. CSS stopped having it issues and let me change the res to native.

For mechwarrior online i had to set it up in Lutris manually and the problems that it had under steam came with it. Still only letting me set the res to 1534 x something something and freezing after a while.

So apart from reinstalling how can i reset the games options. I'm assuming it's something in the proton settings that are causing the issue. Where can i find and reset these? I've tried setting the resolution in the user.cfg file mwo uses but that did nothing.

Linux mint cinnamon

GTX1650

Get this error frequently enough to try and fix it but nothing in the hours I’ve troubleshot this has worked and I have no idea what to do at this point

Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you fix it?

I apologize for the potato photo of a frozen screen as that picture was intended for personal use as a reference

Is there a good tutorial on how to get mods running with these? I tried just getting fluffy mod manager from Nexus and from the fluffy website but no matter what I do the mods don't load into the game, skins, weapons, nothing.
I even tried what is outlined here in this post with no luck.

Since i started using proton 9 on black mesa, the game always crashes after 20 minutes or so, or after a certain amount of loads, and then i usually get an out memory error, that suggets to lower the texture quality. I lowered it to minimium, yet i still get the crash.

Specs:

gpu: rtx 4060

cpu: i5-12400F

ram: 32gb ddr4

os: mint 22.3

I was going to play Roblox with my brothers when i noticed the game kept crashing, then i took a look at the task manager and...... WTF, Roblox was using 100% of both GPU and CPU, and i have a i5 7th gen and a rtx3020, not that bad, what could it possibly be? i'm using the flatpak version, called "Sober", it worked fine untill a few days ago, and i'm really suspecting this might be a virus, please help

My system shows Vulkan as "disabled (software rendering)" in system info, but vulkaninfo detects my Intel UHD 600 correctly. Is this just a UI bug or is something misconfigured?

Apologies if this is a common request. My current rig has an SSD, HDD, and nVidia graphics card. If someone could share a video explaining the process of installing Bazzite on both drives I'd be extremely grateful. TYIA!

Hey, I'm having a performance issue with all Steam games on Artix Linux (OpenRC, Cinnamon DE). The problem is that every Steam game drops to around 20 FPS with CPU usage hitting 80-90%. The GPU is actually being used (saw ~32% utilization in nvidia-smi) so it doesn't seem to be a Optimus/prime issue. ive already tried setting CPU governor to performance Blacklisted noveau (it wasn't even loaded anyway), closed backround apps, checked ram (plenty available) and secure boot is disabled. I'm new to this so i don't know what to do any help is appreciated

Hey everyone,

I got tired of not having a decent RGB manager for my Razer keyboard on Linux, so I built one.

Synux is a free, open source GTK4 app that gives you Synapse-like control over your Razer devices — without needing Windows.

What it does:

• Layer-based lighting (stack effects like Synapse)
• Per-key RGB compositing via software rendering
• Real-time animated keyboard preview
• Built-in themes (Neon Nights, Lava, Ocean, Aurora, Starfield and more)
• Export / Import .synux theme files to share with the community
• Dark and light mode with 3 UI color themes
• Auto-detects when devices are connected or disconnected
• Remembers your last setup on launch

Built on: OpenRazer + Python + GTK4

Tested on: Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition (RZ03-0308) on Zorin OS 18

It's early development — rough edges exist, more device support is coming. Mouse support is next.

GitHub: https://github.com/BryantSteven/synux

Feedback, bug reports, and PRs are very welcome. If you test it on a different device, let me know how it goes — every report helps.

— Steven

I’m playing Doom 2016, I have a 5080, 9800X3D, and 32GB of ram. I’m on the mission “Vega Central Processing” The game has always ran perfect, until this mission. For some reason, the game crashes a few secs or minutes into the mission, and it never tells me why or shows crash logs. I play it mainly on Fedora Linux, but it also crashed on Windows. How can I figure out why. has anyone experienced this?

i like bottles more than steam so i would like to solve this issue rather than just using steam. i already tried installing xinput in the bottle. the controller is detected by kde plasma just fine. my kernel is new enough.

Hi, yesterday I installed Fedora on my Surface Laptop 2 and installed the Surface kernel specific to these computers that is on GitHub. Apparently, everything is fine, the touch screen works and everything else. The problem I'm having is with this specific game, GTA SA and SA-MP. As you can see in the image, the iGPU isn't being used at 100%, and the FPS is very low compared to Windows, where I recall this It was running much better, maybe at 60 FPS or more. I'm using bottles. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
