All the games i played on x11 Openbox do the same thing, alt tabbing is instant, whether im playing on fullscreen or fullscreen windowed it behaves practically the same. so far i tested Half Life, CSGO, UT2004, Kovaak, and Roblox (Sober). The only one that behaves different is Ut2004, alt tabbing turns off the monitor if i run the game at a resolution different from the desktop, but all the other games alt tab instantly.
How can i achive true fullscreen? Since it reduces input latency, thanks in advance

So I noticed a weird thing. Sometimes when playing 3D games I get really low FPS (my GPU is usually well above the requirements) until I turn my monitor off and then on, which then suddenly brings the FPS to what I expect (e.g. ~25FPS -> 144FPS (Monitor Hz) in Horizon: Zero Dawn).

It's really not a big issue, takes 5s to fix, but I was wondering if anyone knows what could cause this.

If you need some HW info, AMD CPU and GPU (5600G (disabled iGPU in BIOS) and RX6700), 16GB RAM, but I doubt it has to do with it... Distro is openSUSE: Tumbleweed, am using GE-Proton (10-32)... Monitor is AOC 24G2U with DP cable...

As seen in the picture I don't have any option to change it to

The one on the top right of my screen. I can't click it and it doesn't go away until I restart the game.

I can't disable my Fn key from BIOS on MSI, or on my keyboard by pressing Fn esc..

I dno what to do, it's really annoying.

Im having these artifacts tired updating everything

Not mine, just from a site I like to read. Nice interview with the CEO of ZOOM (drm free pc games a bit like GoG do), chatting about how he got started in gaming and how the platform works in a world dominated by Steam. Worth a read if you're interested in one of the smaller platforms. Link:

I’ve been wanting to switch my gaming PC from Windows to Linux. My main frustrations with Windows are the forced AI and bloat ware. I’m a software engineer who works with Debian servers at work and runs a home server on Ubuntu, so I have some Linux familiarity, just not as a daily desktop driver.

My gaming PC is used 99% for work, Remote Desktop, Teams, and Outlook. I’ve mostly moved my gaming to my handheld, though I do game on the PC occasionally, which is the main thing holding me back from switching.

On top of work, I also host local LLM models and do some hobby coding. After researching, I’m torn between Fedora for its stability and work ease of use, and CachyOS for its performance and community recommendations, also read it’s great for local LLM.

Anyone using their gaming PC as a daily work driver on Linux? What do you use and would you recommend it?
