How are 50 series drivers on linux as compared to windows? Is there a performance uplift or lost on average in most games?

Hi, I am running Fedora 42 Workstation with gnome. I am playing minecraft using Prism launcher installed via flat hub. Latest version of nvidia drivers is installed (575.xx) My avg fps is around 150-200fps but my 1% lows are in 40s causing stuttery gameplay. I am running on dedicated Nvidia gpu and I have tried enabling Zink which does not help the situation.

Laptop specs: R5 3550h GTX 1650 16gb DDR4 2400mhz

I heard people saying that they switch default support from x11 to wayland for linux, but I just checked the cs2.sh file and I found this comment.

# There is Wayland support in SDL but a recent (7/30/2025) attempt at # allowing SDL to default to Wayland caused a number of customer issues so # keep the default at X11 for now. Don't override any user setting so # people can easily use Wayland if they want.# There is Wayland support in SDL but a recent (7/30/2025) attempt at # allowing SDL to default to Wayland caused a number of customer issues so # keep the default at X11 for now.

witht the shell script under it defaulting to x11.

TLDR: Using input-remapper I was able to use all the 4 back paddles and the C and Z buttons (On D-Input mode), running the games on Wayland (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1), without relying on Steam Input (it's broken on games running on Wayland).

I want to share a little bit of my discoveries in case someone else is in the same situation as me. I have a Flydigi Vader 4 Pro and I was happy Steam announced that they will be adding support for it on the beta client to use with Steam Input. Sadly, after trying it, it didn't work (GitHub issue). According to a user on the GitHub issue, using InputPlumber and putting the controller on D-Input mode would solve the issue temporarily, which it did eventually. Just installing it made my controller be recognized as a Steam Deck Controller, and I could use Steam Input to rebind the back paddles and the C and Z buttons. So, for those who need that information, you can stop right there and everything will work.

I mainly play Trackmania and I was having some issues minimizing the game or switching desktops and then going back to it, etc. I tried running the game in Wayland (using PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 on some proton versions), and all the issues I had with that were gone. Then I realized Steam Input didn't work on games running on Wayland, so all the setup I did wouldn't work anymore. I had to sacrifice using all the extra buttons and keep running the game on Wayland or keep the solution I had before. I tried creating profiles on InputPlumber to remap keys there, without success.

Searching more through the internet, I stumbled upon input-remapper, and I decided to try it. I thought I could remap the buttons coming from InputPlumber using that tool. I was wrong. It didn't detect any inputs and I didn't understand why. I finally uninstalled InputPlumber, tried with input-remapper again, and I could remap everything, and it worked immediately. Now I can run my games on Wayland while being able to remap my back paddles and the C and Z buttons to anything I want.

I hope this helps more people that are in my same situation. Maybe more people know other pieces of software that can achieve this, but at least what I found worked and I'm happy with that!

Thanks for reading!

I have been trying to play The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, after fixing it the game will boot up fine on Proton and is generally playable, but I have an issue with my mouse. The camera, mainly vertically, will have a problem updating and feel like it's snapping. I already installed TCoR fix and changed my mouse polling rate to 125hz via Polychromatic. The easiest option is likely just using a controller, but I wanted to see if anyone had an idea on how to fix this. I am using ProtonGE-10.

With all the work done in the past couple years and work from Valve, is the PC gaming market the group that makes it a more viable 3rd OS in the landscape?

Especially with a lot of large YouTube and social coverage on the topic makes it feel like this year is different.

Pessoal instalei o Linux mint em um note Dell antigo, com processador n7000, mas com SSD. Está demorando uns 5 min para inicializar. A máquina é muito ruim para essa distro ?

I'm trying to oc my gamecube controller adapter to something above the default 125hz using https://github.com/hannesmann/gcadapter-oc-kmod, but it's not working regardless of how I install it.

I've tried using the aur dkms file, but my controller still had its default 125hz polling rate. Building it locally and inserting the module with insmod gcadapter_oc.ko rate=1 didn't work either. Switching the adapter to PC mode makes it show up in the kde settings, but there isn't a way to configure its polling rate there.

I'm using the 6.15.7 cachyos kernel, and the adapter I'm using is labeled as "Old Skool gamecube controller adapter" (although the system sees it as ShanWan WUP-028)

Hi all, I'm new to linux gaming. I set up nobara for someone a couple weeks back and they were getting the super slow vulkan shader loading issue. The other day they let it fully load (~2 hours) but now their game takes about 10x longer to start up. Should they just clear them out and continue skipping it?

Hey everyone! I've been trying to run CS2 and TF2 on CachyOS with all the latest package and drivers but for some reason, it would quit running as soon as I hit the start button. I've redownloaded CS2 as mentioned in other places but that does not work either. Oddly enough, if I launch both games with Proton, it will run but I cannot play on official servers. I'm not sure what to do next so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the log for when CS2 attempts to run: https://pastebin.com/fXFjkAjU

Hello everyone!

I have a project idea and would like to know if the community would be interested and if we could collaborate.

The idea is to create a native Linux application that functions as a GTA RP launcher and client, but without the need for Wine, Proton, or virtual machines (KVM).

What's the goal?

The main goal is to offer a native, fluid, and optimized GTA RP experience for Linux users, who wouldn't have to deal with the compatibility complexities of a Windows application. This would fill a significant gap in the Linux RPG community.

How would it work?

The application would be built from scratch, using native Linux frameworks (such as Qt or GTK), and would have the following functionalities:

Manage the GTA V game (using the already installed version of Steam/Proton).

Connect directly to GTA RP servers.

Manage mods and server resources.

Offer a user-friendly interface for players.

Why this project?

I believe there is a growing demand for native gaming solutions on Linux. Creating a dedicated client would be an innovative way to strengthen the community and facilitate access to GTA RP for more people.

What do I need?

I don't have the technical knowledge necessary to program or architect a project of this scale. Therefore, I'm looking for people who are experts in:

Programming in C++, Python, or other languages.

Developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Network configuration and client/server communication.

Knowledge of games and the GTA RP community.

If you like the idea and are interested in collaborating, please reply to this thread or send me a message. Let's make this idea a reality together!

Thank you, u/Tricky_Plum_6014

Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.40-2-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (dkms-3.2.1) Manufacturer: ASUS

Tried Proton Log from someone else's advice, but I wasn't sure of what to make of it

I also followed several of the tips from ProtonDB from the several launch commands like

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11,dxgi=n,b" %command%

or

gamemoderun %command%

None of these seems to work for me regardless of the compatibility version from GE-Proton9-10, Proton Experimental, 9.0-4, 8.0-5, and so on

I'm almost desperate enough to try a different distro to see if it'll work, but I wasn't sure if I should do that yet, any comment is appreciated, apologies if I missed another info I should've put

My normal command is

gamescope -f -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 144 --force-grab-cursor --mangoapp -- %command%

and games would work just fine. as of yesterday or so games would no longer launch no matter the game. If I remove gamescope it launches fine. I would Like to keep using gamescope. I did some research and apparently there used to be problems with NVIDIA and gamescope. I have used gamescope for many many games with no issues till now

I originally tried on my Endeavour OS install that I have been using for some time but then since I have been meaning to try out cachyos I then tried same thing there and it still does not work with gamescope. I have looked through the proton logs but if im being honest no idea what im looking for. Any help would be appreciated :)

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
• NVIDIA driver 575.64.05
• OS: CachyOS x86_64

I have tried various proton versions

• Experimental
• Experimental bleeding edge
• 9.0-4
• 10.0-2 (beta)
• proton-CachyOS (native package)

I can successfully run gamescope -f -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 144 --force-grab-cursor --mangoapp -- glxgears
