I was using popos but the latest cosmic update broke it for me. I really like the Exodia's UI. My primary use cases are gaming and programming (usually app and website dev) plus studying. Is exodia a good option? What performance can i expect in games and will it be easy to setup for gaming?

I know on Windows it's just a monthly GPU update, and that includes the new game support. But for example, Crimson Desert gets released on March 19th. Windows would most likely get the driver for game support before the game drops or a few days after. When would the same process happen for Arch?

System: Arch Linux, GNOME 49.3 Wayland, Kernel 6.18.6
Hardware: i7-7700HQ, NVIDIA GTX 1050 Mobile (driver confirmed active)
Problem: Random freezes/stutters in Geometry Dash. FPS counter stays high but game hitches. (Proton)
Weird facts:

• With VSync on FPS counter drops visibly
• With VSync off FPS counter stable but stutters persist
• Other heavy games (KSP with mods) run perfectly

Any known GD-specific issues on NVIDIA+Wayland?

Hi I am using Linux Mint.

I recently got Fallout New Vegas on GOG and am using the heroic launcher to play it.

The problem I have is that the game launches but i am only having a video input when I am playing on windowed mode. When I enable Fullscreen (i.e dis-select window mode) the game open with a first initial screen and it minimizes permanently. I hear the Music but no video Output.

Any Solutions?

On Looking in Heroic settings I see following

Wine: GE-Proton-latest

I cant seem to change the proton to a previous version.

well First I Tried zorin os but that didnt work I was able to boot from my usb and I could install it but it either showed a completely white screen for ever or when I made it boot without drivers it was a weird Resolution and I couldnt install drivers same thing with ubuntu i also have the Problem that I dont have a huge flashdrive only one thats like 4 Gigs and Idealy I would Like to Download a Stripped down Version of Linux and just install kde Plasma because I think thats the best looking ui

I also would like to have a cool dual Boot ui cuz i saw one on a steam deck dual Boot tutorial.

my pc specs are:

random Gigabyte mobo

Intel Core i7 4790k

RTX 2060 super 12gb

Lots of random sata ssds

24 Gigs of ddr3

hope that someone can help thanks

Hi, just wanted to quickly share Mesa 26 improvements in ray tracing. It was the first game that came to my mind which stats show MESA version along with Vulkan version. Pretty exited to see oncoming improvements, wonder if Vulkan 1.4.340 would bring further boosts. Right now seeing about 8% ray tracing improvements. Looking forward to check different games this weekend along with it's stability.

CPU R5 7600, 6000 MHz 32 GB CL30, Linux 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64. GE-Proton10-28, in-game Supreme preset

Mesa 25.2.7

Mesa 26.0.0-rc1

GameTechBench (roughly 50% boost, or I did something wrong xD):

Mesa 25.2.7

Mesa 26.0.0-rc1

I'm trying to mod rivals and no matter what i do they dont work in game. Im on popOS so ubuntu with kde plasma as my desktop environment. I use steam for rivals, I downloaded the patch that you needed to get the skins working but they still dont work. Any suggestions?

I'm unable to get REFramework and OptiScaler to work together in Dragon's Dogma 2, has anyone gotten them to work together? If so, please advise. I use an AMD GPU so the Nukem DLSSG mod isn't necessary for me, just fakenvapi and OptiScaler. I've tried using Ultimate ASI Loader to no avail.

How the hell do you set this?

The gamescope command isn't a variableName=value setting. So doing gamescope = -W 3840 -H 2160 -f --

Doesn't work. Struggling to find any examples on the internet with this Name=Value format.

Usual use case of pc:

I play Where Winds Meet at Ultra (Proton Ge 10-28)
No problems with FPS and so on at 120

---------------

Problem:

Recently I have been having hard resets where the system hangs, and reboots

Journal logs are missing during this timeframe, cannot use system rescue to restart, suggesting its a complete hardware lockdown

I thought it was a problem with CPU and Motherboard, hence was planning to RMA and stuff.

But today I kind of stumbled upon something new which kind of confused me.

I have LACT installed, I had enabled overclocking before, and undervolted

Set VRAM Voltage -60 mv , Power limit to 162 W hoping that would fix things.

This had helped for some days until the issue of hardware lockup and reset happened again.

Then one incident when Where Winds meet froze, instead of a hardware lockup this time I was able to system rescue reboot. I saw journal logs

https://preview.redd.it/8wxyqy1ao4fg1.png?width=1002&format=png&auto=webp&s=0578bfb9adf0d03efee48b4a582b758a7e1f221b

Hence I disabled GPU overclocking in LACT to see if the problem persists, no change

I downgraded my mesa driver to Ubuntu repo's mesa driver instead of kisak

No change, same issue.

Finally while looking up online I came across some thread saying that driver is boosting clocks beyond rated maximum on GPU.

So I decided to keep the LACT display on rightside and opened where winds meet and entered the new area after the nine mortal ways' fake mistveil dungeon.

My GPU power usage was going above 182 W occasionally

My lact then and there showed Throttling : ppt0 something and goes back to nothing brings it down to 182 W

My GPU core clock jumps near boost clock
According to sapphire:

• Boost Clock: Up to 3320 MHz
• Game Clock: Up to 2780MHz

How can I make sure that:

My GPU power usage doesnt cross 182 W

My GPU core clock speed doesnt go over game clock (I honestly dont want to overclock it too much at this point -_- )

I bought this PC setup on Dec 2 2025 and only after the return period all these problems started. Been having problems on and off, I want to find out what exactly is causing me problems.

Pls help

Currently i don´t play videogames but i want to help another person not related to me. Currently the title question is: What is the best NVIDIA GPU to use on Linux that performs at least as well as on Windows? And what is the best Linux distribution to use that NVIDIA GPU?

I was trying to play cs2 on kde neon , and this appeared. It worked before , but I think I did something wrong

Last couple days I’ve spent few hours trying to play some Metin2 pServer (Shiva international and Elveron) on my laptop (Endevour OS), first I tried through Lutris, but no result, probably I’m dumb, launcher start and update client too, but when I click start game nothing happens. Same with Shiva. So I decide to try using Steam, I added launchers in library and forced compatibility (proton ge), same story again. I downloaded bottles, when I create the bottle the process stuck while downloading dependencies every single time. I did read that sometime is firewall who block certain ports that client and launcher need and that could cause that issue, I fixed these ports through command line, zero results again. So time to try Wine, and this time something different happened: a wine window alert from the Anticheat dll that sad “a debugger found running, close the process from your memory and try again” or something similar (actually I’m on train only with smartphone). I was nostalgic when decided to try this game again, like when I was teen, but now I have to work and I’ve already spent at least two hours and it doesn’t work. So I ask u my beloved fella, is there a solution? Or do u have any suggestions about MMORPG Linux friendly and their p.server?
