Switched to Linux as a complete and utter beginner about 2 months ago, and have loved every minute of it.

Any time I have had an issue thus far, there is nothing that hasn't been easily re-searchable. Whether through the wiki, reddit, google or even AI models (in more dire situations), eventually I have been able to tinker and find the fix.

However, there is this one issue I have with GPU usage that I just can't find an answer to. There doesn't seem to be much out there as far as any google or forum searches go either.

The problem is in the title, when I load games, I only ever seem to hover in the the 70-80% range for usage, leaving quite a bit of performance on the table. Ideally id want to float in the 90% range and could tamper with fans from there.

I've tried gamemode, different proton prefixes, custom kernels and updating drivers (and really everything else to ensure im up to date). But I cant seem to improve it. What might be causing this and how can i go about finding a fix?

Specs

OS: Arch Linux

KERNEL: 6.17.7-zen1-1-zen

CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

RAM: 32 GB

Not sure if at all relevant, but im on KDE plasma 6.5.2 using Wayland

Hello!
Last month after its EOL, I've switched my PC over from Windows 10 to Linux Mint Cinnamon.
In the time since, I've gradually been working on carrying the games over to the new OS, and have managed to get most of my non-Steam games working with Lutris.

The most recent issue I've run into has been with Steam. I managed to set it up successfully (system package) and get it to recognize the games I had stored.
I have three drives:
- /sda/, my 200GB SSD containing my 100GB Mint boot partition, containing very few games,
- /sdb/, my 1TB HDD containing more games,
- /sdc/, my 2TB HDD containing the majority of my games.
Both sdb and sdc are still NTFS from when they were used by Windows, as unfortunately, I have no means of safely formatting them as of right now, seeing as I do not have enough space to back up or store the contents of either drive.
Steam does, however, recognize both drives, the libraries within, and their games, after adding them.

10/21 of these games launch properly, largely simpler ones, while another 11/21 all experience the same issue; upon trying to launch the game, nothing visibly opens, and the game stops itself after a few seconds - the same result with all games leading me to believe it to be a shared cause, perhaps something related to missing redistributables or something similar. Additionally, all 11 of these games are Platinum or Gold on ProtonDB, so they should be able to function - I'm not sure what criteria causes some games to work, and some to fail.
Below is the list of games in question, and their location.

Working:
- Terraria (sda)
- Duck Game (sda)
- Deltarune Ch1&2 Demo (sda)
- Team Fortress 2 (sdb)
- Portal 2 (sdb)
- Factorio (sdb)
- Rimworld (sdc)
- Celeste (sdc)
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (sdc)
- Bitburner

Failing:
- Yakuza 0 (sdb)
- Skyrim Special Edition (sdb)
- ULTRAKILL (sdb)
- Oblivion Remastered (sdc)
- GTA V Legacy (sdc)
- Cyberpunk 2077 (sdc)
- Fallout 4 (sdc)
- Blue Archive (sdc)
- Fallout: New Vegas (sdc)
- FPS Chess (sdc)
- Holocure (sdc)

I've been using Ultrakill to test out a solution. Switching to Proton 9.0-4, which users report to work with the game, doesn't work. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn't solve it either, so it isn't an issue tied to the installation itself. I've placed a Proton log of attempting to launch the game below; however, it hasn't provided any insight on the problem as far as I can tell.

My question, then, is the following; What might be causing these games to fail to launch, and how could I remedy it? If there is any other information I should add, or other kinds of logs I could check, please do let me know so I may attach it as needed.

On the game first week I could chat normally and hear other people talking on VC, but someday I booted up my game and got the mute sign of death. Since then I can't hear or talk in VC.

Already tried restarting pipewire, changing audio inputs/outputs and the outcome is always the same.

Voice chat disabled as soon as the game is joined

So ive used windows my entire life... and the bloatware is getting crazy, ads, pop ups, AI etc. Im hoping to switch to linux since it's fully customisable, most likely linux mint or any already made windows style distro. My main concern is playing counter strike 2. Ive heard faceit anti-cheat doesnt work, cs2 in general is slower and things like audio setup for discord / streaming, video editing (davinci resolve) has problems.

Are there work around for all these issues to get them working just as well as they would on windows or should I just stick to windows? I really want to move to linux but these things important in my decision making... thanks EDIT: Or just any info about faceit working on linux at some point...

Hi, I am wondering about my graphics settings in Minecraft and wanted to see my system stats in an overlay. I have a Nobara installation and use Mangohud with Steam.

I can’t set it up to run with a Flatpak Modrinth and it’s launched Minecraft instance.

If I start Modrinth with gamescope I have the overlay but the Video settings and controls are messed up.

Can anybody help?

Running Steam Big Picture mode in an exclusive gamescope session like the Steam Deck game mode. Works great. However, the performance overlay switch in big picture to turn on fps counting does not turn it on. Is this a bug or am I missing a setting/package? FPS count works fine in the standard steam client/desktop mode.

So, i have an ryzen 7 8700g with 32 gb of ram and 8 gb alocated to vram. The igpu isnt as good as most of the gpus after rx 580 or gtx 1650, but it can runs some games, like rdr2 on low, cyberpunk on low, and i could play those games on windows, but then i switched to linux, updated many things, installed drivers, but the games are running so bad that it seems like im running a powerpoint presentation. Im using linux mint

So after switching to linux some steam games wouldnt launch and wouldnt pop up and the button would just go back to “play”, so i search and i reformatted a drive i was using and now the games launch but run slow enough to be almost not playable, is there a fix for this? (Im on linux mint)

Hello all,

I'm trying to find the right vernacular to search for a feature I've heard of in the past, but I haven't had much luck.

I dual boot Linux and windows, and both installations have their own dedicated nVME drives. I also have a SATA drive formatted with NTFS to download games in windows.

I believe there's a feature that allows for games downloaded on that SATA drive to appear as installed on my Linux version of steam, but I do not remember what it is called. If anyone is aware of what this feature is called so I can research it, I'd appreciate it.

So i wanted to play Fortnite, even tho i hate it my friend really wants to and apperantly they hate linux so much it's impossible to run it on there 😭 so i took this chance to install windows, i do also have other reasons for it like fall guys and some pirated games that just can't work. Now my plans are simple, im gonna delete all bloat and make it as minimal as it can ever get, install some kinda ext4 support and a tiling manager cuz after switching to hyprland i can never go back to the caveman era of traditional DEs. And lastly of course install the few games i gotta install

Btw if you're wondering, the top monitor is my laptop's and the other one is my external monitor which i have mounted upsidedown. Thats why it's upsidedown at the moment

I used to use my B580 alone a while ago and it worked great.

Now I was able to upgrade my motherboard and I decided to put my old 1650 on it. The issue is that now my games through wine and dxvk refuses to run on the B580 and only run on the 1650. I am using Lutris and I tried proton 10-25 from ProtonPlus, latest dxvk from git, but that still happens. If I disable dxvk and run on WineD3D it works.

Now

What can I do to fix this?

When i try to play minecraft with shaders, i get those strange screen glitches, it happens with every shaders i try to use. The captured one happens on an iris port for neoforge but i tried different versions of minecraft and different shader loaders but it's still the same. I didn't have these issues on windows but i don't want to come back to it. Does someone have any solution to this?

Hello, since I made a comment describing this setup and had some upvotes I'd like to create a guide on how I setup TTY3 to auto-launch Steam Big Picture using gamescope as the compositor.

I am running full AMD build with latest OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Steam and Gamescope are installed via package manager (Zypper) and not through flatpak.

Current Versions are:

• Steam: 1.0.0.85-2.1
• Gamescope: 3.16.17-1.1
• Mesa: 25.26-1699.3.pm.1
• Vulkan: 1.4.328

First I created a new User called steamconsole and configured TTY3 to auto-login to this user using

$ sudo systemctl edit getty@tty3

and added the lines

[Service]
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin steamconsole --noclear %I $TERM

Then I created this bash script to launch steam in big picture using gamescope

#!/bin/bash
clear
exec gamescope -f -e -O card1-HDMI-A-1 -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 60 --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled -- steam -gamepadui > /dev/null 2>&1

which I named gamescope-launch and put it in /bin with -rwxr-xr-x root root permissions

and then edited /etc/passwd to point to this script instead of /bin/bash.

As for the command in gamescope-launch script

• -f is for fullscreen
• -e is to enable steam integration (I do not really know if this is needed)
• -O is to specify display output, you can find yours using cat /sys/class/drm
• -w and -h are to specify resolution for the game window
• -W and -H are to specify resolution of the output, set both to your displays res
• -r is to specify refresh rate set this also according to your display
• --adaptive-sync should be self-explanatory, it enables VRR (needs display support)
• --hdr-enabled same as above

The rest is to launch steam using the -gamepadui switch to start in big picture and capture input from HID devices and > /dev/null 2>&1 is to suppress stdout and stderr

After all that you should be able to switch to TTY3 or the TTY of your choice and have big picture autolaunch ready to run games.

But wait! There are no games!

Proton does this thing which creates a pfx directory that mimics the Windows file system so the game can be installed and run properly. This directory needs to be owned by the user running it so you have to manage game installs separately (which is what I am doing) or configure ACLs and black magic to have a single game installation be able to run via normal steam and the TTY version.

I would love to make this more production grade and have it on GitHub as a project but I have no idea how to approach it from the correct angle.

Hey guys, what do you guys think about having distro userflairs on here?

That way you could have a flair next to your name repping whatever distro you're on. I just thought about this after seeing other subreddits with similar things, I think it could be useful to immediately know what distro someone is on for debugging, and it would just be cool in general to show off what you use.

Of course this is if the mods are willing to add it.
