Frame time and consistencies

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 10:04am

(running 5600g with 6600xt hellhound using bazzite exclusively in game mode)

Frame time was perfect at 16.7ms, wanted a little bit more performance and I flipped a switch on my GPU from silent to OC, since then my frame times have been jumping between 16.2 to 17.2, Even after switching back to the silent profile.

Happens on the simplest game even that the lowest resolution and settings.

In game V-Sync and system fps cap both enabled And every combination in between tried.

Which Linux distro shluld i use

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 9:19am

I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for real now. I know my way around it decently, nothing crazy advanced but I can install stuff, mess with terminal, etc.

I want something that’s good for: gaming, streaming, maybe run some Windows apps with Bottles

Main thing is I want a desktop environment (like KDE or something that looks smooth/minimal) for regular use and gaming, but I also want to be able to switch to Hyperland when I’m just working or wanna mess around.

My specs:

Ryzen 7, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, SSD

Distros I’ve looked at:

Bazzite (KDE + Hyperland) looks 🔥 and seems built for gaming

Nobara, kinda like Bazzite but maybe easier?

EndeavourOS, I like that it’s Arch-based but not sure if it’s too much setup

Anyone using Bazzite + Hyperland? Stable?

Is it better to have both DE + WM or just pick one?

OBS + NVENC on Wayland still good?

Project Zomboid full of issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 7:18am

Yesterday while I was playing Zomboid with a friend my session kept freezing and I had to hard reset my system... It got so annoying after more than ten times even when only just opening the game to the point i quitted for the night. I added a swap partition and that partially fixed cuz now my system freezes but not forever.

Now I'm trying to join my friend's server and then the game randomly puts steam online and offline. I will give log output details once i boot up my computer again, for now I'll just go to sleep.

Joystick disconnects after some time playing any game on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 6:25am

I'm having an issue where I can play a few minutes whitout touble, but after that period the joystick doesn't respond. I've tryed Xbox-S joysticks (my main joystick), an old 360 joystick and generic ones, all of them whit the same issue. Also, I've tryed the same joystick on Windows whitout trouble. Firmware is updated and trouble happens on wireless and cable. Heavy and light games. On Steam and GOG games.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600, 32gb RAM and AMD 6300 4GB GPU

The difference between linux distributions?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 5:46am

Hello!

Is there any difference in game performance between CachyOS/Nobara/Pika/Pop! (and other "game distros") and a regular fresh distro (Mint/Debian/Ubuntu)?

Thanks for the answers!

tf2 not launching anymore

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 4:43am

I think I've tried most possible solutions that I've managed to come across, but has anyone else had issues launching tf2 lately? The game was working without issue up until at least last week or so. If I use the default native Linux runtime it doesn't launch after the "play team fortress 2/OpenGL" popup selection. If I use proton, the game launches but I can't connect to the servers.

Things I've tried: - reinstalled TF2 - reinstalled steam - a bunch of different launch options from protondb - verified file integrity

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Display won't Show any signal after being turned off and back on Nvidia

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 2:14am

Hi,I have recently purchased a Palit gamerock RTX 5090 and have installed cachyOS today,I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 240hz and to avoid burn in I turn off the display whilst it's downloading stuff after a re install since I do those often, sadly ,and I have been encountering this issue across every Nvidia GPU I have owned since 2022,the system will not display anything after I come back and turn the display back on,I am using KDE Wayland and have disabled all options that make the pc turn itself off or go to sleep,same settings I had across my full AMD systems, be it a 7900xt,7900xtx,9070xt,7700xt&7800xt. I have had these issues on GPUs ranging from a 3080 to a 5090 since 2022 I have searched for potential fixes on Google but with the search engine becoming awful and unusable even with the Reddit prefix,I'm unable to find anything that's exactly like my situation or any fix,I've even asked for assistance in the cachyos server when I last had an Nvidia GPU which was in 2024 with a 4090 but alas , nothing.

These are my system specs:

R7 9800X3D 64GB 6400MT/s ram X670E-A 16TB in nvme SSDs 1500w PSU Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 240hz if it matters

I have not added anything to the system after installing it,so I'm not sure what else to provide since driver or open or closed kernel module does not seem to matter.

Horizon Forbidden West: Massive frame time spikes makes the game unplayable!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Jul 2025 - 1:54am

Hello, I've been plagued with this issue, have no idea how to fix!

Used proton-GE 10.10, proton-GE 9.27, Steam proton 9.0.4, all to no avail. Increased iGPU VRAM size to 2GB, tried running in Xwayland, in a native X11 session, on Hyprland, on Sway, no change...

Running on Arch Linux, NVIDIA open driver 575.64.03. All packages up to date. System (pacman) installed steam.

My CLI args to get to this are: mangohud prime-run gamemoderun %command%. I'm at my wit's end, so any help would be much appreciated! This is the only game that I'd like to play which exhibits such problems, everything else runs perfectly fine! Many thanks :)
