AMD Frame Generation in Crimson Desert
I've noticed that in Crimson Desert in CachyOS turning in FSR Frame Generation doesn't make the game more "fluid" (sorry if this isn't the best term, english is not my native language), compared to Windows where the difference is visible. Like for example on Cachy 60FPS native and 120FPS generated feels the same.
I'm using an 9070XT, FSR 4.1 NativeAA.
I know that using frame gen is a bit controversial, but I don't feel the drawbacks (input lag or whatever) and this is a single player game.

I found this video of someone playing World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade on Linux during the launch period in 2007 ... Absolutely amazing piece of history.
NVIDIA 5080 cant change powermizer settings
I'm running Fedora KDE 43
NVIDIA 5080
9800X3D
4k OLED 240HZ
PSA: I'm still learning about the Linux world lol
I cannot change the powermizer settings on NVIDIA X Server Settings. When I select the PowerMizer tab, I see the option to change it, but it then immediately disappears.
A lot of my games run great, but then I boot up that same game some other day and the performance dips pretty bad. Now it doesn't go back to the great performance it once had. I don't know if its shaders processing in the background, but I do let the Vulkan Shaders fully download on startup. I'm not sure why, but I usually notice my GPU utilization also dropped, so I am assuming its my GPU performance mode that may be causing the issue. On Windows I get easily over 120+ FPS.
The performance overlay is for Death Stranding Directors Cut (Platinum on ProtonDB.) I used to get 120+ FPS. Now its below that, especially once I start moving around, I get dips to 30FPS. Game is running Proton Experimental. I've also tried GE and Cachy OS.
And yes, its running on my GPU and not iGPU.
Launch options: mangohud gamemoderun %command%
When I run:
nvidia-settings -q [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode
I get:
Attribute 'GPUPowerMizerMode' ([gpu:0]): 0.
Valid values for 'GPUPowerMizerMode' are: 0, 1 and 2.
'GPUPowerMizerMode' can use the following target types: GPU.
Also, my CPU governor is on power save:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
powersave
Obviously have the options for "performance":
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
performance powersave
When running a game I get this:
gamemoded -s
gamemode is active
Attaching this incase it helps:

Some Textures Are Blurry
For some reason, some textures are just super blurry on my setup, but I'm not sure what the issue is. This goes across all games. No Man's Sky appears notably strange as well, where clouds on planets even from a distance appear very blurry.

Adaptive V-sync missing from Gallium drivers?
Ever since the "classic" Mesa drivers got retired, it seems like adaptive V-sync was pruned along with it. I decided to give the Amber branch with the i965 driver a try on an ancient laptop, and I was surprised to see tearing manifest in some games despite V-sync being on, but only when performance was low, consistent with adaptive V-sync. It turns out that the games were requesting a missing feature I wasn't cognizant of all this time. Indeed, its debut in Mesa was reported by Phoronix way back, predating the Intel Gallium drivers by half a decade.
Have there been any attempts to bring this feature back?

Crimson Desert Runs Better on Bazzite OS Than on Windows
Finally! I managed to get Crimson Desert running on Linux (Bazzite OS). I used the latest Proton from CatchyOS, with the following settings:
VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 %command%
So far, it works! And it even runs better than on Windows!
I have an Nvidia 5080 RTX graphics card and was able to enable every possible setting: “cinematic” graphics mode, ray tracing, DLSS 4.5L, frame generation, path tracing...
In 4K, the result is better than on Windows: it’s smoother, with fewer small stutters.
My only issue so far is that sometimes, for no apparent reason, the game gets permanently stuck at the vortex. We’ll see.
Gaming on Linux is really starting to get very, very interesting!

Minimal crosshair overlay for Wayland (Hyprland/Sway) and Gamma slider
just a super small personal project i made, been playing DayZ for a long time on Linux (but this works for all games) where i always used a crosshair dot overlay on windows, and always use nvidia filters for gamma adjustment (nights are very very dark on DayZ).
Simple very small app that puts a dot center screen without any gamescope dependancy, and a commandline argument to increase gamma.

Do you guys think this would be a good monitor for me if my os does not support HDR? I'm on linux mint.
From what I can see, it seems like an upgrade from my LG Ultra Gear I got a few years ago.

Sims 4 Stuck on Loading Screen/Unresponsive, Freezes Desktop
Hey all, I would be grateful for some help with this issue.
I try to run The Sims 4 via Steam, which is connected to my EA App account. It launches successfully. All my DLC packs from EA have downloaded and show up, and my custom content (CC) and script mods load in just fine. Creating a household/Create A Sim (CAS) works. Clicking around the map/worlds to view households works. Loading in households from the gallery/my library and adding them to the world? Works.
You know what doesn't work? Actually trying to play the game in either Live Mode or Build Mode. I end up getting a loading screen that proceeds to freeze the game, and then shortly thereafter it often freezes the whole desktop, renders it unresponsive to anything I try to do, and the only way I can regain control of my computer is by pressing the power button for my PC to force it to shut down so I can turn it back on, unless I am quick enough to try closing the program before it does that, which then has Steam telling me that the game has become unresponsive, and then I kill the program via System Monitor, because the buttons to either Wait or Force Quit are not clickable. I have no idea why this happens and no idea how to fix it.
I have not tried to use Lutris yet (namely because I still can't figure out how to) but maybe that would resolve my issue? I don't know. I've tried loading the game without mods to see if they're the issue, tried a fresh game without my saves in it, and I've cleared my cache and stuff to see if those are an issue (you know, the common fixes that people cite when they have a problem with the game). I've tried running it with Proton, and changing the Proton version, too, to no avail. This loading screen issue keeps occurring regardless of what I do, so now I'm reaching out in the hopes that someone may be able to aid me. If all else fails, I am dual drive dual booting with Windows, so that's my real last resort.
Specs:
Distro: Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
GPU: AMD PowerColor Reaper Radeon 9060XT 16GB
RAM: 32 GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30

Modding games in Linux?
Started using Bazzite KDE for a week now and so far I’m loving it!
But I wanted to try modding Cyberpunk 2077 or Skyrim. I used mainly Vortex Mod Manager by Nexus Mods back in Windows but it seems they don’t have a linux version or was discontinued?
So i was wondering if there are other alternatives i can use or is this just a trade off for not using Windows?

Crimson Desert HDR dim?
Iv put some hrs into the game, but cant help but feel like HDR is a bit dim. Not quite to the brightness id desire. Even after using RenoDX, while it fixes the bland under saturated look, still leaves the game looking dimmer than normal. Is this the experience others are getting? I can boot up something like Cyberpunk and the HDR looks bright and beautiful.

Búsqueda de juego.
Era un juego que venía en Linux de conectar igualdad por los años 2012, era un mundo 3d de tamaño chico y podias exprimentar/jugar con objetos, los árboles eran en forma de circulo, he buscado por chat gpt pero me da opciones erroneas, el juego tenía una atmósfera mínimalista y futurista no se como estás explicarlo. Alguien mas lo recuerda?
