I'm running the 595.58.03 Nvidia driver on kernel 6.19.12-1-cachyos, KDE Plasma/Wayland

Was playing a Minecraft modpack yesterday and out of nowhere my whole system completely froze and had to force power it off, I looked in the kernel logs and saw it was something related to the GSP firmware after it woke from sleep.

I know nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 was the workaround, and someone previously asked about it in this post but this was for 555 drivers.

Is GSP STILL an issue on the 590 drivers????

Hi guys,

I've been having the issue of some games on steam freezing after a few seconds. They launch normally and then suddently they freeze. A lot of those are old games that I've been able to play with no issues when I still was using windows so the hardware requirements shouldn't be the issue.

I can't tell what the commone denominator is between the games that work with no issues and those that just freeze.

I'm unsing Linux mint.

I'm not well-versed in tech, so please be kind <3

Hey! have been enjoying using Linux so far(apart from rookie errors and some weird bugs that I don't have the energy to deal with), however with games, it has been complicated. One of the games I was obsessed with was Cyberpunk, however I had to rely on Windows for now to play it, even if the game is rated "Gold" on ProtonDB. I would like some help with troubleshooting my issue.

My configuration is a

• Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2021) with a Ryzen 7 Processor,
• NVIDIA RTX 3060 DGPU with 6 GB of VRAM
• Operating System: EndeavorOS with the zen kernel
• RAM: 24GB DDR4

Issues:

1. Game seems to never go above 50-60 FPS, even with the settings turned to the lowest possible, and the frame limit/v sync turned off.
2. Weirdly, the menus run as expected. The cursor movement indicates the right refresh rate.
3. On mangoHUD it's the same thing. It never displays higher frame-rate.
4. FrameGen makes no difference whatsoever. While the FPS is higher, the presented frames never feel like the smoothness expected from 100-120 FPS.
5. DLSS results in black splotches everywhere.

What I have tried:

1. Changing to different versions of Proton. So far, Hotfix and the latest version of GE-Proton gives best performance and stability.
2. Switched to X11, and still the issue remains
3. Even created a partition to boot into CachyOS, still the same issue but I had expected it.
4. Increased powerlimits on the dGPU, still no dice.
5. Used params like PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND or NTSYNC.

If you need more details, I will provide it in the comments.

Especially with the dGPU, I was having performance issues that I believed wouldn't be there.

hey, i have 3.7k hours in cs:go and cs2 matchmaking is honestly terrible. so ive been building an open-source alternative in my free time.

what im working on:

• lobbies, friends, messaging
• competitive and wingman matchmaking with ranking
• 128 tick servers
• server-side anti-cheat
• desktop and web clients

everything will be fully open source. no company behind it, no paywall, just a side project from a devops engineer who wants better matchmaking.

the hard part is infrastructure — multi-region 128 tick servers arent cheap. if this gets traction id love help with contributions, testing, and eventually donations to keep servers running (like how blender and other open source projects do it).

still in progress. if theres interest ill share the repo and a roadmap.

would you actually use something like this?

tldr: Valve's VRAM optimizations made MHWilds, a reason I kept win11 as a secondary boot, work on Linux.

PC's specs:

Ryzen 5 5500

Intel Arc A750

16GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM

Sata SSD windows boot (Win11)

M.2 SSD linux boot (CachyOS)

NTFS HDD for storage

I'm by no means a Linux expert, I just like playing games and tinkering with things to make them run games. Stuff like installing RetroArch on my phone and RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi.

Ever since Win10's EoL on October last year, I've been playing around with Mint Cinnamon on an old Laptop that doesn't meet the reqs for Win11. I liked it, so I ended up dual-booting Mint and Win11 on my home computer.

Before, MHWilds would never work on my Linux boot. It would always crash when loading into the game, after choosing a save file.

Tried many things like changing Proton versions, launch options, changing Intel drivers from i915 to xe, etc. but they never worked. I assumed that it was RAM/VRAM issues and the fact that I'm running Intel's ARC GPU.

It's the reason I kept Windows 11. I Had Issues trying to run games like CP2077, Death Stranding Director's cut, and MHWilds on Linux.

CP2077 worked when switching from Mint to CachyOS (I don't really know what caused it to work). And in Death Stranding, textures wouldn't load, which was fixed a while back with a Proton update.

With Valve's VRAM optimizations (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/92U3KU3txi) the last game I play that doesn't work on Linux has finally worked. Made this post just because how happy I am!

This is an Asus ROG STRIX g15 AE with 32gb of 3200mhz DDR4, a Ryzen 9 5900HX, an RX 6800m with 12gb of VRAM that can draw up to 170w and a beautiful 1440p 99% DCI-P screen that runs at 165hz.

I hate it.

I've bought this laptop in rather desolate condition for 500€ with almost leaking LM, a destroyed display and you can see the keyboard for yourself after having run Linux mint on a ThinkPad for a year, trying to do the same with an NVIDIA legion that I couldn't get to boost because it's apparently tied to a windows-only app and when I saw this thing, I thought all my prayers were answered.

even with the AMD GPU, my experience for the past 4 months was horrible. among other things:

Due to the switching system in the laptop, everything gets passed through the IGPU, which makes Linux drivers (as far as I understand) see the whole thing as one "supergpu" (device name). no matter what I have tried, it refuses to use the dgpu for anything related to OpenGL. everything runs on the IGPU, and the dgpu cannot be directly forced to work. this is somehow even a problem on the dedicated dgpu video output.

LACT does nothing. the dgpu is utterly ignorant of power limits set by it. overclocks apply, but are near useless doe to a number factors discussed below.

the whole laptop is also oblivious as to the existence of its own fans, running them at up to 50% RPM, which leads to horrible overheating. lm_sensors couldn't even detect the fans, let alone control them. this is likely asus' fault as the fans don't even show up in bios.

the GPU cannot be parked, constantly taking at least 10w even in power saving mode.

in Ultrakill in particular, the GPU doesn't boost past 500mhz, no matter the graphics API used. Through mint, Bazzite (yes the correct AMD version for Asus laptops) and regular Fedora, latest mesa including radeonSI and radv nothing made a meaningful difference.

I'm planning to move back to desktop, soo I just want to know if you guys are dealing with anything similar. Gaming laptops are notorious for weird shit, even on windows, with manufacturers' focus, so I imagine they are a nightmare scenario for Linux in general because a lot of the software that's supposed to control them just doesn't exist.

no way in hell am I going back to windows after using KDE for work yo I just want to know if I should forsake gaming completely

So I installed TMNT 2007 using the link on YouTube, clicked the "add game" button on lutris, and did exactly what I needed to do to install a windows game on Linux

Now, when I selected tmnt 2007 (as seen in screenshot) and clicked "play", I came across this problem.

Please help me fix it

Hey yall, wanna see if this is possible:

I had a grand ole time figuring out how to start the process, and I finally figured out how. So, I know Sonic 06 is a good ole tomato throwing worthy game, but I wanted to get the Legacy of Solaris mod working on Xenia emulator because I'm going through most of the mainline Sonic games. The only problem I have now, after getting '06 mod manager working and setting all of my file directories, is I get some sort of unhandled exception error. Are there any clear guides or advice for getting the mod manager and emulator working? I got the mod manager to work using proton, so that's no issue. Basically, I set my game exe directory, my xenia exe directory, and my mod folder directory, but after I try to go forward, I get an error there.

I'm on Fedora 43 with the cachyOS kernal.
Running with a Radeon RX 9070XT and a Ryzen 7 3800XT and 32 Gigs of DDR4 ram.

Any referrals to a good setup guide would be appreciated because I can't find any documentation on it. Otherwise, I'm just going to troubleshoot a bit more before giving up and just playing Project 06.

I'll post a photo of the error later. I tried to replicate it on Windows 11 but it worked fine.......because of course it did. I may try to re-extract the ISO but I wanna see if any of yall have experience with setting this up on Linux.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! :)

So, long story short, I'm working on a game prototype, and a few people have asked me if it runs on Linux. I've been coding in C++ for many years but always for Windows, Linux is a total mystery to me.

However, since I'm making my own engine (using Vulkan), I thought it would be a good idea to make it portable. I added GLFW as the abstraction layer and built it for Linux using GitHub Actions... and it worked!

I still don't know much about the specifics of all the different distros or what might be broken on Linux within my code, so if you'd like to test my game and tell me if it runs, that would be greatly appreciated.

This is just an early prototype, so don't expect a full game experience yet, but if you want to share ideas about the core design, those would be welcome as well :)

The game can be found here: https://magistairs.itch.io/orbis

Hallo liebe Community, ich habe meine erste Applikation entwickelt und sie ist nun veröffentlicht!

Es ist eine schöne, exzellent funktionierende Übertaktsoftware für Nvidia-Grafikkarten, speziell für Wayland-only-Systeme.

natürlich Open source und free of charge für jeden zum testen! Ich hoffe sie bereitet euch genauso viel Freude wie mir!

Sollten ihr Fragen, Wünsche und Anregungen haben, bin ich sehr gerne bereit, sie zu berücksichtigen, wenn ich das nächste Mal die App angreife, um vielleicht noch etwas dazu zu bauen.

Hey guys. I've been playing Q2RTX (via Steam) for months now, and so far it has worked perfectly.

As of today, for some reason, the game launches in a black window with a white bar at the top and nothing else. Sound seems fine and I can hear the menu sounds, but window stays black. I have not upgraded or installed anything new to my system, other that my distro's usual security updates. All other Steam games, ray traced or otherwise, work without any issues.

I have tried:

• delete shader cache
• uninstall the game and removed the game folder from steamapps folder
• reboot steam, reboot PC
• tried the native version, proton-ge version, proton hotfix & experimental, proton 9, but these don't seem to change the outcome

Legacy Q2 works just fine.

Has anybody else experienced this kind of sudden "malfunction" with Q2RTX (on linux) and if so, how did you solve it? I would be grateful for any tips, as this is still my all time favourite game. Thank you for your time.

Hey r/linux_gaming,

I've been working on ProtonShift, an open-source desktop app that puts all the game config stuff you'd normally do in a terminal into one place. If you've ever hand-edited a MangoHud conf, pieced together a Gamescope command from the man page, or dug through Heroic's JSON files to flip Fsync on — this is for you.

What it does

Unified game library — Steam, Heroic (Epic + GOG), and Lutris games in one searchable list. Launch, open install folders, or jump to configs from anywhere.

Visual Gamescope command builder — Pick resolution, FPS limits, FSR upscaling, HDR, and more from dropdowns and toggles. See the generated command live. One click to insert it into your launch options.

Full MangoHud config editor — Toggle metrics by category, set position/font/alpha, configure hotkeys. Supports global config and per-game overrides. Includes presets (Minimal, FPS Only, Standard, Benchmark, Full, etc.).

Launch option presets — One-click toggles for GameMode, MangoHud, NVIDIA dGPU offload, and Proton logging. Presets grey out with hints if the tool isn't installed.

Proton/Wine tool selection — Pick your compatibility layer from a dropdown. Lists all installed versions from compatibilitytools.d, Heroic's tools directories, etc.

Configuration profiles — Save a game's entire setup (launch options, compat tool, env vars, power profile) as a named profile. Restore it later or apply it to a different game.

Environment variable manager — Manage global gaming env vars via ~/.config/environment.d/. Built-in presets for Proton NVIDIA/AMD optimizations, DXVK tuning, shader cache, Wayland compat, and more.

Game save backup & restore — Auto-detects saves in Proton prefixes and Steam userdata. Backup to timestamped ZIPs, restore with one click.

Built-in fixes database — Known fixes matched by App ID. Each fix can add env vars, launch args, or both. One-click apply.

Protontricks integration — Open the GUI or quick-run common verbs (vcrun2022, dotnet48, d3dx9, corefonts) without leaving the app.

System dashboard — GPU info + temps, VRAM usage, power profile switching (supports system76-power and powerprofilesctl), display detection, controller mapping.

Stack

Electron + Next.js + React 19 frontend, Python FastAPI backend. The Electron app spawns the Python server and talks to it over localhost.

Install

Available as AppImage, .deb, .rpm, and Flatpak from the Releases page. Requires Python 3.12+.

• License: AGPL-3.0

Would love feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas. What tools/configs would you want to see added?
