Has anyone had success gaming with 5090 specifically, on any OS.
Relevant parts:
MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G GAMING TRIO OC 32GB GDDR7
ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi AMD AM5 X870 ATX Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Crucial - Pro OC Gaming 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6400MHz C40 UDIMM Intel XMP 3.0 & AMD EXP

Issue is identical on Nobaro, catchy, bazzite that I have tried for prolonged time. I tried other diaries that I can’t remember, but I immediately moved away from them if I didn’t like the interface and a crash happened. Regardless of what graphical settings are used. Monitoring resources shows drop to base on the GPU graphs. No overheating or any other issues that I can tell.
Games tried:
cyberpunk 2077 - game freezes every 10-15 minutes. No error displayed. Does not recover.
Kingdom come deliverance 2 - game freezes in specific locations, so as long as I avoid those locations no matter the settings game runs fine. If a freeze occurs, does not recover.
Avowed - crashes every 5 minutes or so. Does not recover.
Risk of rain 2 - freezes every 10-15 minutes but alt tabbing out of the game and immediately back in to the game unfreezes it.

So this is the expected correction, dropping 0.81% from last month following the over sampling after the Chinese new year, causing last month to be reported too high for Linux.

4.51% is still great growth since this is the first time legitimately over 4%! 3 months ago we were 3.5%.

Hey everyone. I’m having a weird performance issue in Minecraft that persists across different Operating Systems.

My Specs:

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600

OS: Zorin OS (Previously Windows 10/11)

Launcher: Legacy Launcher

The Issue:

I’m getting very low FPS on versions 1.21.1, 1.21.10, and 1.21.11, especially with shaders. Here’s the kicker: I had the exact same low FPS on Windows. Switching to Linux (Zorin OS) didn’t change a thing.

Based on benchmarks, my RTX 4070 + R5 5600 combo should be performing at least twice as well. Since the OS change didn't help, I'm starting to suspect either a hardware issue or something fundamentally wrong with how I'm running the game.

Questions:

If the FPS is identical on both Windows and Linux, could this be a hardware bottleneck or a BIOS setting (like XMP/DOCP or PCIe speed)?

Could the Legacy Launcher be the culprit on both systems?

How can I properly stress-test my Ryzen 5 5600 on Zorin OS to see if it's underperforming or if I've been sold a "fake" chip?

Are there any specific NVIDIA/Java tweaks that I might be missing on both platforms?

I really want to get the performance I paid for. Any help would be huge!

We're looking for playtesters for the closed pre-alpha of our indie psychological horror game The Infected Soul.

Quick heads-up: co-op mechanics aren't implemented yet in this build this pre-alpha is meant to showcase the atmosphere, core gameplay, and the direction we're heading in. We'd love your feedback on what's there so we can shape what's coming next.

You can DM me to join the playtest. You can also check out the game via the link below adding it to your wishlist would mean a lot to us.

i get this with cyberpunk.

and basically all my other games either don't launch properly or get like 0.5 fps

Ive never had this issue and it only started after i installed DCS World

Ive tried a bunch of stuff like reinstalling drivers, wine, changing to plasma x11.

im on arch, and did about a hour of trying to work this out but i may be stupid.

im on a nvidia gpu btw and if anyone has any question all suggestions please help

for a bit more details when i open cyberpunk without the launcher it freezes and wont load, and for a game like rocket league which i use herioc, it will launch but its completely unplayable. i know this probably isnt enough info but im tired so yeah any suggestions are appreciated. please ask if theres anything specific you need me to show or tell.

Welcome to the newbie advice thread!

If you’ve read the FAQ and still have questions like “Should I switch to Linux?”, “Which distro should I install?”, or “Which desktop environment is best for gaming?” — this is where to ask them.

Please sort by “new” so new questions can get a chance to be seen.

Crimson Desert crashes again after today's update

Proton CachyOs 11 fixed issues with flickering shadows, but the game crashes after 2 minutes of running around the city.

I tried proton hotfix, experimental, ge. Did anyone manage to get running?

My specs

• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: Powercolor Hellhound 9070 XT
• RAM: 6000MT/s 2x16GB CL30
• OS: Nobara Linux 43 (Kernel 7.0.1-200.nobara)
• Mesa Drivers: 26.0.5-1

EDIT: Running fine on Mesa Git, with RADV_DEBUG=nohiz in the launch options and on Proton CachyOS 11

So, I was struggling to sleep before work and I turned on my PC only to notice windows was feeling off... It was slower than usual, everything was kinda laggy, I backed up some of my important files and before I started to do a fresh install I remembered I had a steam deck.

I have some limited experience with Linux based on the desktop side of the steam deck and liked what I was using.

I would have jumped the gun and installed Linux however... Somehow I didn't have a thumb drive anywhere in the house.

I'm picking one up after work today so I have that covered but now I'm stuck.

Do I pick between Bazzite or CachyOS?

Only happens under water and sometimes far in the horizon. The intensity is blinding sometimes. Turning bloom off in setting alleviates it but doing so makes the game look bleak imo so I'd prefer not to do that. Is this a known issue? I haven't seen any discussion about this. Is there a fix?
Running on CachyOS with GE-proton 10-34.

Turn back the clocks and revisit the golden age of arcade gaming as you stick around after closing time to play the perfect run of the hottest new game of 86. MUTEIGHT.

Inspired by the spirit of games like Ninja Princess, Gauntlet, Commando, and Alien Syndrome, MUTEIGHT is about the feeling of gathering around a cabinet, learning the patterns, surviving one screen further, and chasing the score that puts your name above everyone else's.

There are no checkpoints here. You have five lives per level to escape the facility. If they run out, your progress is terminated and you start from the beginning.

A true arcade game is a battle for status. MUTEIGHT features full Steam Leaderboard integration. Every bullet dodged and every boss defeated counts toward your total. Don’t just escape - dominate the global rankings and prove you are the ultimate survivor of the facility.

Play the demo now on Steam if you think this looks cool!

So I got this setup:
Acer Nitro AN515-55
Intel® Core™ i5-10300H
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
16GB RAM

I'm running Fedora Workstation version 44 right now and I enjoy it, but I was dumb and didn't check more detailed information regarding GNOME and apparently it can have some overhead compared to KDE due to heavier resource use. And according to someone KDE is the gold standard. I have usually used KDE but this time I wanted to try GNOME since my experience with it has been limited. I wonder if reinstalling Fedora KDE version would be worth it given my hardware isn't the best. I have PC with Ryzen 7 and RTX 4060 but it has RAM problems so I need to rely on this laptop for now.

Gaming hasn't been problematic given I mostly play older titles but would KDE benefit me in games such as Cyberpunk? Or is GNOME fine as it is?

Basically I am linux noob. I installed bazzite but I really need lg tv companion which is lg tv buddy app for arch in github. I cant edit terminal commands so I normally copy paste commands. The tv buddy app uses sudo so wont work on immutable or I cant get it to work. I couldnot convert it to work on bazzite. Cachyos handheld mode is not recommended for desktop. Basically, I need the experience of bazzite but based on arch and mutable so I can run arch sudo commands. Many things might not have made sense to linux pros but I hope you understood what I meant. Thanks for any help.

Ok so I'm about ready to give the penguin a whirl, and I've been thinking of trying a few different distros out before I commit.

I've been considering Nobara, CachyOS or Bazzite (if you've got other suggestions I'd be interested), and was wondering if I could just use a VM rather than dual booting to try them out.

I'm aware that I'll lose performance this way, but just as a quick way to distrohop and check that my software works as expected, would this be a good way to gauge game compatibility, or will the VM be unable to utilise my GPU so I can test games this way?
