Steam Locked to 60 FPS in Game Mode on Bazzite
I just installed Bazzite on my desktop, and I am having issue with Steam Game mode. My FPS is locked to 60 even though I am playing on a 120hz TV. In desktop mode, I have set my refresh rate to 120hz, and I can play at high framerates when launching through the desktop Steam app. However, in Steam Game Mode my refresh rate refuses to go above 60hz. Is there something I'm missing? I can't find any other settings in game mode that would affect my max refresh rate.
Steam Game Mode Performace Settings
Allow HDR: On
VRR: On
Enable Tearing: On
Disable Frame Limit: On
Refresh Rate: Off

is this at all possible on linux? have a wmo optical and want to get the most out of it
Steam client can not leave fullscreen on Linux Mint.
Not Flatpak. It has been like this ever since I installed it. The Steam client can not leave fullscreen on Linux Mint. Clicking on the fullscreen button in the top right doesn't make it go windowed, dragging the top bar of the window does nothing, and small mode is also fullscreen.
This is very annoying because when Steam is open I can not use the cinnamon panel unless there is another application on top of steam, fullscreen, or Steam has to be minimized.

Pop!_OS vs Bazzite (2024)
I am very experienced in windows/mac, with a mild experience in Linux (I used one special distro sometimes at work and have a steam deck that I use a lot and have f*cked around with its custom Arch mildly for emulation and what not. I also tried manjaro for like a week 2 years ago and the bugs killed it for me).
What are the pros and cons to each in mid 2024? I am looking for something to 90% on my desktop (pretty new amd cpu, pretty new nvidia GPU), keeping a win11 partition for the few games that only work there.
just through googling ive narrowed it down to these two (i think). I know pop OS is bigger and more popular and but beyond that I could really use the advice lol.

Nvidia Drivers Installed but GPU is not being used
Hello. Sorry if I’m asking in the wrong place. I didnt know where else I could find a possible answer.
I did a new install of Nobara last night and it all works well except that it does not use my gpu (rtx2070). The drivers are installed and I get a good to go message but it isn’t being used and the about page shows the onboard graphics. I’m not a total Linux noob but this is the first time I’m trying to use a Linux system with a gpu. I know on windows I can force all apps to use the gpu but I’m not sure what to do here. Thanks.

Help with Bottles / Wine
I just installed Bottles (Flatpak) from Gnome software and went on to to setup the "Application environment".
Everything's fine. But when I went to "Run Executable" button and browsed to the file path where I downloaded a SETUP.EXE file , it just doesn't show up. I can't find this file. On the bottom right corner it says "Supported Executables", I changed it to "All Files" and then find that SETUP.EXE file. But even after selecting it, I got an error that says
Setup is unable to find installation languages in Z:\run\user\1000\doc\aa186c9f\SETUP.LID file.
What can I do?
[I am using Fedora 39 Workstation]

Bazzite/Chimera - QAM button for overlay?
I’m trying out bazzite on a HTPC on all modern AMD hardware using an 8bitdo ultimate controller. I believe bazzite uses parts from Chimera with game scope and the ability to pull up a performance related overlay where you can enable or disable various sliders around FSR etc. Usually it overlays on the right side of the screen. I cannot figure out what hot button or combination to press to activate it? I’m not sure if this is something obvious or something further that has to be setup.

NVK Vulkan driver adds implicit pipeline caching to boost DXVK performance

Flickering with frame delay in KDE 6.0 with Nvidia proprietary drivers (dkms) with Wayland but not with X11/Xorg. (XWayland?) Can you share any solutions that I may not have tried yet that might work?
Hi friends.
I have flickering in all my games on Steam/Lutris/Heroic etc. It's a pretty strange flicker, because it's not a horizontal tear. It's like the screen is showing old frames, then your screen goes back in time for a few milliseconds, and it's very annoying and unplayable.
Something like this:
FPS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 10, 7, 8, 9, 11...
This happens when I use Wayland, but works correctly when I use X11/Xorg. But I need to get this working because I have more fps and better performance in Wayland.
I've tried launching the games through MangoHUD and GameScope separately (with Steam, Lutris and Heroic), but for some reason this crashes/freezes the game and doesn't make it work in Wayland.
I have been reading many reddit threads, forums, google, etc., but very few people have managed to solve it, and they do not say exactly how to solve it
I've read things like "in the next update it will be fixed", but it's been months, and the problem persists, so I'd like to try to find another method to fix it.
I am using EndeavourOS Arch with Nvidia 1050 ti, proprietary drivers (dkms), and everything updated to the latest version.
Is there any solution or anything you can share with me that might help me solve this? Or is the only thing I can do is wait?
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
