I have been trying so he can try Bazzite to get a more fluid experience in other games, but he don't listens to me, any recommendation?

Hello,

im running opensuse tumbleweed with x11 with a rtx5060. A lot of games run great, but Warcraft III is acting up. It freezes about every 5 - 120 seconds. But it only freezes in the menu. Ingame works flawlessly...

Its running on proton hotfix or experimental.

The freeze can be reset by minimizing and maximizing the game. So its quite an easy fix, but still annoying. Additionally it doesnt start correct everytime, sometimes it just opens as ablack screen. The sound is still going though.

So far Ive tried to use windowed fullscreen instead of fullscreen and tried wayland. But waylands results in an error saying "unable to intialize graphics"

nvidia-smi tells me warcraft iii is using the card and about 1.5gb of gram are in use.

Is anybody able to help with this problem?

Edit:
Installed via Steam
KDE Plasma
NVIDIA-SMI 580.119.02 Driver Version: 580.119.02 CUDA Version: 13.0

So, what is known about this? Have an AUS TUF A14 (2024) and it comes with a MUX switch, hence why I’m interested about this.

Any docs/usage on this? Would be nice to see how to implement it for gaming/etc.

I remember testing this few months ago and the performance was kinda bad on my RTX 3060Ti, not sure if its game or the nvidia D12 issue (or both), but was playable almost year ago on my SteamDeck when I tested it...no idea how its now

Those who are interested in the free week thing:

During the Free Week, players will receive temporary access to the full base game, including:

A Token for one plot,

Premium Status,

200 Grace.

You be able to build, craft, explore, and adventure exactly like regular players and join Clans and adventures!

Accessing Pax Dei and playing for free during the Steam Free Week is pretty easy: you will just need to select the free version of the game from their Steam store page, available from January 19 to January 26.

After the Free Week

Once the Free Week ends, players who wish to continue their journey can purchase Pax Dei base game, available at a -40% discount until February 2 on Steam and playPaxDei.com. To ensure a smooth transition, Free Week players will also receive a 2-days grace period (up to Jan. 28, 6 pm UTC) after the event to purchase the base game and continue exactly where they left off. If they choose not to acquire the base game right away:

Their plot(s)will be removed from the world,

All crafted items, materials, and character progress will be safely stored.

Should player decide to return later, their character and everything they crafted will be waiting for them in their Redeeming queue. They’ll simply need to find a new place to rebuild.

Testing it on the CachyOS distro, I’ve noticed in Elden Ring and other games these strange artifacts in the shadows forming triangles. I’m not sure whether it’s a Linux issue or something with the game itself, though it’s odd that it happens in more than one game. Does anyone know what this could be, or has anyone experienced it and managed to fix it?

These are the launch parameters I’m using:
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink gamemoderun %command%

Proton: CachyOS 10.0.... native

Hey folks, just switched from Turing to RDNA 4 because of the 4nm process, FP8 based upscaling capability and RADV which ensure the longevity of the product. NVIDIA has just released model L and M for DLSS upscaling capability. I hope it is not a stupid question, is there a way for RDNA4 card to take advantage of the new NVIDIA released model during Optiscaler injection, or to I have to wait AMD to release it’s counterpart model for me to get a better experience? Since closed source nature of FP8 based upscaling(at least for now), I assume that part stored in firmware(instead of kernel space and user space), can we count on AMDs good will that it will provide support for firmware update for the extended period of time?

So I've had encounters with Linux many times throughout the years, from working in linux based servers to other friends PC's, but what I wanted to know is how the gaming space is really on Linux. For context I mostly play fps games, such as marvel rivals, cs2 and some other genre's like sandbox games and even emulation, however I'm not sure if all of those work smoothly on Linux, if anyone has a guide or some other info for this it would be extremely useful.

As for the title post I would like some guidance as to if it is worth it, Should I finally ditch windows? I do a lot of coding, right now specifically I'm working on a project with my college with visual studio specifically, however I'm unsure whether this is windows only ( I'm aware that there is a Mac version but I think it's not being maintained ), and I wonder if there's an alternative. Also if anyone knows if there is a possibility of SSMS working on Linux. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I will have soon a 7800X3D and a 9070XT. I'm trying to get away from all these cancer companies like microsoft and I wanted to know if it's possible to have the same performances if not better on Linux when gaming. I play mostly single player games but I also care about stuff like ray tracing,modding games and path tracing besides FSR and multi frame. Is Anti-cheat also a big problem? so I can't play online games?

I'm considering moving over to Linux but I wonder about the state of nvdia 50 series drivers for it (5080) I'm not a super hard core gamer but my factory in satisfactory is getting pretty big and I don't wanna deal with my graphics screwing up in warthunder. Any advice?

Okay so I recently switched from windows when they force updated me to 11 while I was asleep. On windows I could get 120 frames on almost any game I played with the exact same hardware. I've narrowed down the issue to the graphics cards drivers through some trial and error. After trying all the avalable drivers default on the mint distro im still getting seconds per frame and massive performance issues. I'm using a "NVIDIA Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER]". Before like I said I could play damn near anything at at least 60fps now I'm lucky if a game loads entirely and the performance typically looks like this:

The Driver I've had the best sucess with is the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver. I've even tried downloading official nvidia linux drivers from the website but at best I can now get 10 frames a second with the xserver driver.

If I can't find a solution at the very least, what new graphics card do you guys recommend I'm using mint btw.

i dont know if this is the right place but i ran into problems for that i cant find any documentation

im trying to set up wivrn on my system and i am runing into problem when i try to start games

specs of pc :

arch with wayland hyprland

Headset: Pico 4 ultra

so i am trying to use wivrn and i try to use xrizer as my compatibility tooll couse its the only one that gives me an error that i can work with

i cant find any documentation on the following error:

On NixOS using a flake, launcher works, game works, for about 5-10 minutes, and then amd gpu ring timeout happens and resets. Crashing game

This is the only game that does this. I assume because its early access? but I have heard nothing but success on this subreddit about this game so idk

literally just changed from Xubuntu to pop_os 24.04 and the download speed just dropped like crazy, it's taking around 30 minutes to download CS2 for example and I don't know why, my pc is a Omen 16L desktop (I haven't changed anything so it's still stock)

Hi y'all. Just recently released the Linux build for my game.

Lenrual is a weird environmental puzzle game.
If you're into a mini-myst-like with ghibli/Journey-esque aesthetics and The Witness style interactions, you might like this.

You can check it out on Steam here:

More improvements coming for ray-tracing performance with Mesa. There was recently mentioned other work, most recent involves compiling any-hit/intersection shaders separately, which leads to massive improvements.
