Anyone Else Having This Problem With The New NVIDIA Drivers?
I'm using the 3090 ti. I updated my drivers to the new 590 ones. But it looks like there may have been a regression because I can only do 4k 60hz instead of my usual 4k 144hz. I had to install the 580xx proprietary drivers for my monitor to start working again. Just wondering if anyone was having this problem too?

I have a laptop Precision 3541 & Nvidia Quadro P620 4gb. It crashes on windows but not with linux.
I am able to play games using bazzite and it actually plays modern games well at 30fps 720p but on windows 10 and 11 i get blue errors such as video menory error. Why causes this??

I'm making my dream game about building circuits. I'm a full-time Linux user so of course it has great Linux support :)
Why does gamescope stutter and lag after a while??
I have been trying to use gamescope's --force-grab-cursor so I can play games like enter the gungeon or other games where I keep flinging my cursor to the other monitor accidentally.
Well basically after a while my fps drops from 180 to like 60-80 with alot of stutter, but it doesn't even feel that speed it feels even lower.
My launch commands:
gamemoderun gamescope --force-grab-cursor -f -W 1920 -H 1080 -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 180 -- %command%

Sharing my script for setting up Ubuntu 24.04 for gaming/stream hosting
I recently switched my gaming/streaming host PC from Windows to Ubuntu, and wanted to make sure I had a quick way of reproducing the configuration (like with any of my computers). Thought it would be worth sharing here in case anyone else is looking for a quick way to get started with gaming on Ubuntu now or in the future!

Path of Exile 2 freezes
Hello everyone.
I recently installed PoE2 on Ubuntu after a hiatus. I had no problems playing for 72 hours in older versions, but now my game freezes and boots me out into the login screen after only a couple minutes of playing, even if I stand perfectly still. The graphs show a massive and incremental spike in network latency that goes from 11-100ms to 10000+ms in the span of seconds before the game freezes and I am booted out to login. I also notice many many microstrutters in the brief time I am able to play.
I tried many fixes (updating drivers, switching to Vulkan, Dx11, Dx12, clearing shader cache, disabling Steam overlay, switching gateway, changing Proton version, reinstalling, verifying files integrity, lowering graphics settings, uncapping fps...). As I side note, I noticed I am NOT able to turn off "Triple buffering" (I have no idea why).
I am gaming on a Ryzen 9600X (lightly undervolted, I don´t think it's a factor here) paired with a Radeon 9070XT; PoE2 is the only game giving me this problem, and it is currently unplayable. I searched on protonDB for the same problem on the same platform to no avail.
Can anyone help me? I had just reached mapping and I want to try it so bad.

Software needed for Steam
I'm a long time Linux Mint user and I'm trying to figure out what packages I should install for best performance with Steam. I know I need playonlinux for Windows-only games. I searched `apt-cache` and got:
steam-devices
steam-installer
steam-libs
steam-libs-i386
Which ones do I need? Also do I need the package `i386`?

There are some indie games about resizing application windows in Windows. Do these work on Linux and via proton? Just wondering
Switching from AMD to Nvidia in 2026 worth it?
You probably are wondering why a i even considering that, i heard everywhere that AMD is supporting linux and nvidia sucks on it (but it was a while ago), how things are looking like right now?
I don't want to EVER purchase any AMD card again. It's just terrible experience, in linux most of the distros that are using newest kernels they just freeze after 50 seconds of usage (i have to use LTS kernel to make it work, but i can't use NTSYNC if i use LTS kernel, and my games performance overall in linux is worse) and this issue literally exists since 1.5 years, in windows the drivers are crazy dogshit, each driver update introuces a new crash for a different game and you have to downgrade to a last stable version that released 10 months ago, of course auto updates are fighting me from doing that, i disabled auto upadting in amd settings but of course the fucking winows update did the thing for me and made the game im playing right now unplayable again so i have to downgrade again. Also VR experience is terrible due to encoder bugs in the drivers.
So yeah, FUCK AMD.
Please tell me if nvidia is in a good state for linux right now or im gonna be stuck on windows when i buy it.

GTA 4 not working on Ubuntu after adding to Lutris
Hi everyone,
I’m currently using Ubuntu Linux and I downloaded GTA 4 from streamrip.com.
After downloading, I extracted the files and tried to add the game to Lutris manually, but the game does not launch / does not work.
Things I’ve tried so far:
- Extracted the RAR files successfully
- Added the game as a non-Steam game in Lutris
- Selected the executable file manually
Still, nothing happens when I try to run it.
I’m new to Linux gaming, so I might be missing something.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Lag ? x86 >>> ARM Steam Frame
https://youtu.be/lwYhI1hDAh8?si=Tvc4u8hLkNWOahgX
(I'm not here without information 😊)
Hey hey!
I'm worried about lag and games freezing at times due to the x86 to ARM translation layer. What do you think?
In the video I'm sharing, this developer compares the Quest 3 and the frame. He shows the FPS at different resolutions, with and without "adaptive FOV". Everything is very encouraging except for the end (10:30). Watch the very end of the video; as soon as the game issues a "directive", everything gets more complicated...

Fallout 76 runs brilliantly...for about 40 minutes.
Sorry for the tech support thread. I figured this was the best place to ask as opposed to the r/Fallout76 subreddit. I will try my best to stay within the guidelines.
First I'll describe my issue:
The game launches and runs brilliantly at 144fps on lowest settings. After about 40-90 minutes of gameplay it crawls to a standstill at roughly 20-40fps. I used to think certain events occurred in-game that caused the fps tankage, but I'm now more confident that it just seems to happen after the 40 minutes. When I open any sort of menu, say like a weapon modification bench, my fps goes back to full. Once I restart the game it resets the cycle.
I am running Fallout76 through Steam running Proton 9.0-GE.
OS Fedora 43
GPU RTX 3070 Ti (8GB VRAM)
RAM 32GB
CPU AMD Ryrzen 5 3600x
Kernel Linux Kernel 6.17.12
Drivers 580.119.02
Running Gnome over Wayland (tried both borderless and fullscreen).
My launch options are set to:
DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti" gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f --force-grab-cursor -r 144 -- %command%
Some things I've noted/tried:
* VRAM usage is actually pretty stable. Only ~3.5/8GB is used.
* RAM usage sits around ~5GB, CPU usage is 25%
* Various versions of Proton seem to all do the same thing. Experimental, 8, 9, Hotfix, etc.
* Optimization options online suggest editing Fallout76Prefs.ini, however I have no such file in my local installation.
* I've set "Presentinterval=0" (it's a common piece of advice) and it hasn't fixed it.
