Feasibility of Framework 12 + AMD eGPU for a medium gaming rig?
My current gaming "PC" is a 2010 Mac Pro, and short of a bit of an underpowered GPU (RX580), it handles all of my games just fine.
I'm in need of a new portable PC, and a new gaming PC as well. I feel like it would be a waste to have to buy both.
So I'm thinking of getting the upcoming Framework 12, then just hooking it up to an eGPU (RX 7600 XT 16GB) when it's game time.
How is eGPU support these days? Fedora KDE is my distro of choice and I should have plenty of overhead in terms of computing power for the games I play, so assuming eGPUs work pretty smooth, I should be all good to go. Right?

looking for an arch based distro that's beginner friendly and with nvidia drivers preconfigured for gaming
this is the exact model of laptop it'll be for https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3683/~/razer-blade-15%E2%80%9D-advanced-%282019%29-%7C-rz09-0301x-support-%26-faqs popos hasnt been too reliable so far, random issues and freezing up has been way too common. looking for something fast... im currently looking at garuda. this is not for me btw, i use endeavour, and garuda seems like an even more beginner friendly but gaming focused arch based distro. i would prefer to stay arch based but im also looking at nobara

The RX 9070 XT is effectively a brick on linux
kernel: manjaro 6.13
mesa: 25.0.1
RAM: 80GB
CPU: r5 5600x
GPU: 9070 XT
I have upgraded the mesa drivers to 25 via aur, i updated the linux-firmware via aur, set all the recommended kernel boot options, made sure i upgraded to 6.13 kernel. And the only error.
Cyberpunk crashes the moment i load into the game
CS2 crashes a few minutes after searching for a game.
I was genuinely forced to switch back to windows which i hadnt touched in a while just to play some CS2 😭

Help, I‘m new to this…
I use my PC only for gaming, I recently switched to Arch and started using Hyprland and absolutely love it. I’ve only played games on Windows before that, so this is all new to me.
I managed to get Star Citizen running, ArmA Reforger, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2… they all work, but I noticed I get a lot less frames. In ArmA I had 90+ FPS and now I get between 20-40. Same in Star Citizen. I installed all relevant drivers, I used ProtonDB for pointers, enables Vulcan, G-Sync, used Launch Options in Steam, tried Proton-GE, made sure my dedicated GPU is actually used, I switch to x11 for Star Citizen only, I did a couple other things which I honestly forgot… anything I could find online pretty much. I understand that not everyone of these games uses Vulcan, could that be an issue?
I have an i9-9900ks, a 2080 Super and 32GB RAM.
Does anybody have advice, or can point me towards something… I don’t want to go back to Microsoft. I love Hyprland, I already made my own keybinds!

World of Warships
Anybody have any idea how to play world of warships on fedora 41? Not a heavy gamer, but I do play with friends weekly. Also, if anyone know how to play EQ1/2 on fedora 41 that would be good too.

How long does it take for a newly released steam game, like assassins creed shadows for example, to be playable on linux via proton or lubris?
I am new to linux and used windows all my life. Will it be playable immediately?

Games stutter severely then tank in FPS after being open for prolonged period.
It happens for every game and when watching MangoHUD it seems to just be that my GPU stops giving as much performance. [The GPU usage goes down despite the game clearly needing it]
To elaborate what I mean by every game, it happens on MK1, RE4R, DOOM [2016], Marvel Rivals, 7 Days to Die, Barony, Persona 5 Royal, F.E.A.R, and Stardew Vally.
On games with locked FPS [MK1, Persona 5 Royal, and Stardew Valley] I go from consistenly hitting that capped FPS to no longer being able to.
It also seems to happen more often on those games [The ones with FPS caps]
There is a screenshot of MangoHUD during the stuttering that happens before the FPS drop. As well as of a neofetch from my system. My GPU is specifically the RX 6700 XT.
I run my games via Gamescope set to 1440p. My launch options on most games are [gamemoderun gamescope --mangoapp -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 74.97 -- %command%].
I'm playing all these games on Steam using Proton 9.0.4 but I've also tried GE-Proton9-25 on a few of them.
I also have a multi-monitor setup not sure if that's relevant. I can't really think of anything else that would be necessary to state here but I'm willing to detail anything if needed.
GPU is RX 6700 XT. RAM is DDR4.

Steam takes more ram on Linux?
Steam on linux has like 8 steamwebhelper running, making it take about 1.1 gb ram (when store not open). One Windows there's 3 steamwebhelper totalling under 300mb ram.
Is this normal?
Installed latest .deb package from Steam website.

why do AMD take a while to fully support linux?
people say all the time that AMD is the way to go if you want good linux compatibility, and yet they take way longer than nvidia for full feature support.
I know AMD drivers are integrated into the kernel, which if it was the only reason, it would take around 3 months max (look at how fast intel CPUs get support).

enblocal.ini via mo2 (skyrim alpyne)
Hi - I try to set LinuxVersion in enblocal.ini but the file is somehow not read. At least thats my guess, I probably cant check this?
- If I run Skyrim via direct installed enb - it works.
- If I run Skyrim with enb via M02 I get a Wine C++ runtime error
I placed the conf file you see on the screenshot in this root folder. Its read. The enblocal.ini settings, dont seem to be read.
I also, created an empty folder at the end of the load order (just an empty mod, didnt configured anything) and placed the enblocal.ini there - no effect.
So I'm quite lost. Also pretty new to MO2.
Thanks.

9070XT owners, how is your GPU running in Linux?
I got my 9070XT today and decided to compare it to Windows gaming performance. I play 99% of all my games on Linux but sometimes I need Windows. Since I heard the AMD 7000/6000 GPUs perform almost identical on Linux and Windows I decided I would test my new GPU. Please post your results as well, even if it's just Linux results as it would be interesting to compare.
I am on a Ryzen 5800X3D CPU paired with my 9070XT and 32GB of RAM on CachyOS running the release candidate of kernel 6.14 and Mesa 25.01. All numbers are in 4K or 1440p with no upscaling.
Space Marine 2:
Linux 4K: 55-65 FPS
Linux 1440p: 60-75 FPS
Windows 4K: 60-75 FPS
Windows 1440p: 100-120 FPS
Monster Hunter Rise:
Linux 4K: 105-170 FPS
Windows 4K: 205-250 FPS
Hunters Inc. Playtest
Linux 4K: 58-65 FPS
Windows 4K: 75-85 FPS
Elden Ring (Ray Tracing Low, South Raya Lucaria Gate, looking at the encampment from the bridge)
Linux 4K: 28-35 FPS
Windows 4K: 45-50 FPS
The GPU Seems to have around a 15-30% performance drop in Linux compared to Windows at the moment. Especially in Monster Hunter Rise where in gameplay Linux hovers around 120 fps and Windows almost double that at 220. In Space Marine 2 the difference is even larger in 1440p where Linux maxes out at around 70fps and Windows easily hovers around 110fps on average.
Also interesting thing I noticed is that in Monster Hunter Rise the GPU refuses to pull more than 180W in Linux, but in Windows it pulls the full 320W+.
Definitely not perfect out of the gate for the 9070XT but I didn't expect that either. It would be fun to see how it is running in other distros and configurations.

[Linux Mint] Bluetooth controllers keep disconnecting immediately.
I've been trying to connect my 8bitdo sf30 pro to my laptop but every time it connects but then immediately disconnects. I even tried using blueman via the terminal and ensuring the controller is a trusted device, but no luck. I checked to see that blueman was on the latest version and it is.
OS: LinuxMint 22
Kernel: 6.8.0-53-generic

Troubleshooting 9070 XT crash on Fedora 41
Got a 9070 XT on launch, had some hiccups getting it working. Documenting the steps which I took here in case anybody faces similar issues, but I can't guarantee these will work to fix your issues - YMMV. I've been using linux full time for only around a year, so I'm no wizard, and I probably can't help much for other problems.
Initial Errors Type Spec CPU Ryzen 9 5900x GPU Gigabyte 9070XT PSU Corsair RM1000x OS Fedora 41 DE KDE (Wayland)I previously had a RM750x, and I bought a new PSU after a couple hours because my system was crashing immediately once the power load increased on the GPU. Which, yeah, the minimum spec on my card was 850W. So that was one me.
With a new PSU, it was much more stable, but I was still facing crashes under high loads. Not like before from too little wattage, but now more sporatic, and it would just freeze seemingly at random.
I used journalctl to track and log these crashes. Here's an example command to pipe journalctl to a log file if you are not famillar:
journalctl -S today > /[SOME DIRECTORY]/crash.log
Here's an example of where my system crashed:

The display freezes.
After a couple seconds, both monitors turn off.
After some more seconds, they turn back on, but one display is black and the other green.
As well, when I booted into Fedora, there was a message that popped up for only a millisecond saying `Overdrive is enabled'.
This, combined with the Ring reset failure, I was able to deduct that there was probably an issue related to - overdrive? power regulation? Not sure, to be honest. But it was useful to know it almost certainly was a driver issue, not a physical failure that required RMA.
Steps I took Updating Core PackagesCheck out this Level1Tech forum post, which helped me through my troubleshooting. They recommend updating to a new kernel, mesa 25, and latest firmware. An update-to-date Fedora should have mesa and kernel versions that are adequate, but to update my linux-firmware, I used this copr:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/danayer/linux-firmware-git/
After doing this, I found my card to be A LOT more stable, and I was able to play Cyberpunk with Ray-Tracing for a couple hours. However, I still crashed after that.
CoreCtrlI used CoreCtrl to lower the power limit on my card from 330W to 315W. Not sure what the effect this had, but I just wanted to make sure that the crash wasn't related to power. Make sure that you set up CoreCtrl completely. I already had it installed. This helped stability more, but didn't seem to solve the issue completely.
ppfeaturemaskIn the CoreCtrl setup, it asks you to add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff to your grub config. I set mine to amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd3fff . According to this reddit post, this will disable PP_OVERDRIVE_MASK, PP_GFXOFF_MASK, and PP_STUTTER_MODE. This sounded about right for the problem I was having, so I went ahead and changed that. I'm unsure if turning off stutter mode is needed? But I set it anyways.
ConclusionAfter all this, I think my system is stable now, but we will see as time progresses. I've played a couple hours of Marvel Rivals and Cyberpunk 2077 now. I'll come back and add some edits if anything progresses or if I continue to crash.
My takeaway? Maybe using Day 1 hardware isn't a great idea LOL! I'm sure as packages get updated and pulled into the regular Fedora repo, this won't be an issue.
Hope this helps somebody, cheers!
