Screen problems in RE4
Hi, today I bought Resident Evil 4 (the OG, not the remake) on Steam and have seen some performance troubles. So I looked it up online and saw that lowering the resolution could help. I tried it (I have a 1080p display and lowered the game's resolution to 720p) and now the game plays great in terms of performance. However, every now and then (specially when saving or looking at the inventory) some weird artifacts appear on the screen or some flickering. It's not a big deal. It doesn't prevent me from beating the game (for the 99th time) but I want to fix it anyway.

Resolutin in Proton game downscalled = poor performance
Good day.
I am using Steam Direct X11 game and Proton for playing. My problem is that I have a weak CPU, so it is suitable for me to lower the monitor resolution to a non-native one. When there are too many units in the game, it starts to lag.
In Windows, this happens good, but in Linux, it's done differently. The image seems to be recalculated from a higher resolution, which leads to a decrease in performance. The performance at a lower resolution is then worse than at native resolution in Linux. Do you know how to force Proton to calculate the resolution as Windows does?
A workaround is to run the game in a window. But I would prefer fullscreen in a lower resolution.
Thank you for all suggestions.
Btw: X11, Muffin (for gaming compositing off), Nvidia 1060 driver 570.

Why doesn’t AMDGPU support blanking line adjustments like CRU does on Windows?
I’m a complete noob when it comes to the deep technical side of Linux, but I’ve been trying to move off Windows. I tested both Bazzite and Nobara on my system (7900 XTX + 3440x1440 240Hz OLED), and they were great… until I ran into one major issue.
On Linux, the VRAM clock on my GPU stays stuck at 910 MHz, which means I’m pulling ~50W at idle. From what I’ve seen, this is a common issue with the 7900 series and high refresh monitors.
On Windows, I fixed this using CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) by increasing the vertical blanking to around 200 lines. That dropped idle VRAM to 64 MHz, lowered idle power to 15–21W, and everything still worked — even VRR.
On Linux, I tried: • Exporting the CRU EDID and using drm.edid_firmware • Setting up modelines in X11 • Disabling the compositor
It kind of worked… but something always broke. Either VRR stopped working, or Wayland glitched, or an update undid everything. Eventually I went back to Windows, even though I really want to daily Linux.
I’m not here to bash Linux at all. I respect everything the community has built — I’m just hoping someone more experienced might know: • Why AMDGPU doesn’t support blanking line tweaks like CRU • If this is possible to implement at the driver level • Or if there’s any interest in creating a CRU-style GUI for Linux that makes this easier and more reliable
Would love to see this become a real feature someday. I’d even help test it, if someone smarter than me built it.

Using a controller does not prevent suspend.
I'm using a controller (to play Bayonetta) and it is functional but the system suspends every 15 minutes unless I remeber to move the mouse. It's like the controller is not recognised by Linux as input. I'm using Linux Mint with i3.

Why do people replace OSes? Why not just dual-boot?
I see Windows and Linux as tools. Both suck and thrive in their own ways.
Why replace Windows? Why "leave" Linux? Why not just, use both?
With dual booting you can play games that work best on Windows, use the games that work best on Linux.
Especially if you are on a laptop, with Linux you can probably reduce energy consumption and RAM usage when you wanna use the browser or do some light work.

My experience and why you should not switch with Nvidia
I decided to switch over to CachyOS back in February. Overall my experience was pretty good, nearly all of my games worked and even the ones I couldn't get running I ended up finding groups that have workarounds to get it running. I did retire my old PC and setup Apllo on it so that I could gamestream from a Windows machine if necessary, and throughout this whole time I only used it for 1 game which I also now have running on Linux.
CPU Brand: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor Kernel Version: 6.15.2-2-cachyos Driver: NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 Driver Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 575.57.08So if my experience was so good, why am I saying that someone with Nvidia should not switch over. There's two really egregious issues, one that most people probably don't care about and one that will affect everyone. I'll start with the latter.
The Nvidia drivers do NOT support shared memory:
I encountered this early on when trying to mess around with LLM using LM-Studio, and at the time didn't know the cause, I simply stopped using LM-Studio. However more recently when trying to play Stellar Blade it also happens every time I play the game, which has lead me to understand the nature of the problem. How this manifests appears to be different for everyone, for me it causes all of my background applications to stop repainting and occasionally Plasma to crash, switching to software rendering. If at any point you exceed the memory capacity of your GPU you're going to run into problems with programs crashing or other weirdness. This is not normal and usually this overflow would be copied to RAM potentially causing a performance hit but otherwise working correctly.
My second reason is VR Support I have a Valve Index, which from what I understood prior to switching was the best case scenario when switching. After days of trying to get it to work I ended up finding out that I can get it working if I unplug the headset when I boot and plug it in after, no clue where the bug exists put this prevents plasma from taking control of it and thinking the headset is another display. After that SteamVR and Envision both appear to work and I can use my headset, with horrible screen tearing that makes it unusable.
I am now considering switching to a 9070 XT which I believe do not have these issues but am concerned about FSR4 working as well as DLSS (or working at all since it appears this is in early stages) since I recently obtained a 4K monitor.

Sorry if this get asked a lot. But what is your reason for switching to Linux? Detailed answers would be better. (Not just "because windows sucks") And what do you think the pros/cons are to using Linux either in general or in terms of gaming?
These questions are for my curiousity only, I have my own opinion on Linux as a whole, hence why I don't use as a daily driver (yet.)

New GPU = New Problems
I swapped out my 2080 Ti for a 5070 Ti and that's where everything started going wrong. No matter what I tried doing with reinstalling Nvidia drivers my monitor would be capped at 60fps and a low resolution, with no option of going higher. My system says "LLVMPipe" is the graphics processor instead of the 5070 Ti. Frustrated, I reinstalled Arch Linux via Archinstall (I had it that way before) with the open kernel drivers instead of the proprietary drivers and still no luck. Not to mention I can no longer install anything with pacman since all hostnames in my mirrorlist somehow won't resolve. It's been a rough 6 hours of troubleshooting...

PSA: in case games are not loading, check Mesa version and firmware
In case you have trouble starting games recently, check two things:
- firmware loading. It seems with kernel 6.15.2 there is some change in how gpu firmware is loaded.
There might be error like this in kernel boot log:
Direct firmware load for amdgpu/vega10_ip_discovery.bin failed with error -2
Older kernel (6.14.8) does not have this issue.
To check kernel log, run command in terminal:
sudo dmesg
You should look for errors in the log.
- Mesa version. Some games that start with Mesa 25.0.7 do not start with Mesa 25.1.0. Cause is not known or if newer version fixes this. Looking into it.
These seem to be recent issues, some distributions are in older versions and don't have same problem now.

Elden Ring does not work anymore
Up until the beginning of this month Elden Ring was working fine for me. But recently when trying to load my games or starting a new game, the game just crashes. It gets to character creation just fine.
My distro: Ubuntu 25.04
graphics: nVidia 980

how to use gamescope to open the finals in stretched resolution
i am a big fan of the finals but i prefer to play in 1080x1440 stretched, i do this via the amd adrenaline software on windows but i am yet to find a way to do it on linux.
couldn't find any threads relating to my issue so i asked ai and i got this command back.
gamescope -W 1080 -H 1440 -w 1920 -h 1080 -f -e -- steam steam://rungameid/2073850
it crashes instantly with these errors
```[xwayland/sockets.c:64] failed to bind socket @/tmp/.x11-unix/X0: address already in use
(EE) failed to read wayland events: broken pipe```
i am using manjaro on wayland, my hardware is all amd and i have two monitors if that matters.

ZZZ poor performance despite no component being maxed out
Problem: The game runs between 30 and 50 FPS despite no components being maxed out. FPS is set to "unlimited" in the game settings, tho VSYNC is also on, so target FPS is actually 75.
I am certain the game can run at 75FPS because it does exactly that during combat segments
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: GTX 1660S (Proprietary drivers version 575.57.08-4)
RAM: 12GB at 1333MHz (according to `sudo lshw -C memory | grep -i clock`, tho that doesn't really seem right. I suspect this might be the issue, but I'm not really tech-savvy enough to confirm it or know how to fix it)
MOTHERBOARD: B350AM4-M2 from ECS Elitegroup
Proton version: GE_Proton10_4-1

Have you noticed that screen tearing functionality is broken on kernel 6.15?
downgraded to kernel version 6.14.9-arch1-1 and all is working as expected. using plasma 6.3.5 on wayland. has this bug been reported yet?
