Is this a known thing? I’m running the game on EndeavourOs, Wayland, latest 590 open drivers, proton GE 28, rtx 4070 super and 5700x 3d, the cpu usage looks normal around 30% so I don’t think it’s the bottleneck, I have tried both xwayland and Wayland, the gpu usage is around 60-65% and I get anything from 85 up to 100 fps but the gpu can do more than that, not sure if it’s a dx12 thing. Changing settings doesn’t seem to help much and I was just wondering if anyone has some tips.

Hopefully one of you guru's can hop on and give me some advice. I have used Linux exclusively for a decade now and have built my own homelab and Linux gaming PCs. This is just my first Nvidia Card since my 1080.

Scored an open-box basically new 5060 Laptop with 32GB of DDR5 at BestBuy for $940 with tax three days ago. Saw that the new price jumped from $1299 to $1499 in just the last few days so I'm pretty pumped. I've only taken it out of the box to inspect it's condition. Haven't done anything yet. Didn't know about the Nvidia DX12 performance issues and saw a Radeon 7700s gaming laptop with 16GB of ram new and on sale right now for only $1049 new. Reports say that the 7700s is essentially equivalent to 4060 with a few benchmarks that go either way. I wouldn't mind shilling out the extra money if AMD Linux Gaming is that much better. I see that AMD is either at parity or beats Windows in most benchmarks where as team Green takes a 10-30% hit on DX12.

1. Should I count my blessings and just tough it out until the new DXVK extensions or w.e they are called become fully upstream or jump ship and exchange my laptop for an AMD laptop?

2. I know this is in the realm of speculation but will Linux gaming finally reach relative parity with Windows after these merges are fully fleshed out and any future gains will just widen the gap? Also if anyone has an idea of the timeline? I saw some wizards in some of the threads already ran some benchmarks and saw massive gains on RTX Gpus but saw graphical glitches with the new changes. is this a next week thing or are the pieces in place but months of testing will need to occur before everything is stable?

3. This is less a Linux gaming question but with prices the way there are, and a budget of $1200 at most, are there any better options for decent rigs or am I pretty much getting the best I can get?

This is also not an Nvidia bad AMD good or vice versa kind of post. If there was a Radeon laptop or desktop at a better price/performance ratio, I would have gotten that. Just want some advice before I'm out of the return period.

Thank you.

So this game is weird. Out of the box, the cutscenes (and intro videos) give a blank test screen, which is usually a problem of missing codecs. Switching to Proton GE displays the videos, but they have no audio. This is *really* important for how story-based and atmospheric this game is.

I did look on ProtonDB and a few reports mentioned that the game needs these codecs to show the videos, but installing it didn't do anything. However the installer for the codec has so many options I wonder if I'm missing something?

Curiously, some people don't have this issue with the audio and others do on ProtonDB. The videos are encoded in .wmv and do work if you play them through VLC, but it's immersion breaking to exit the game everytime a cutscene plays and track it down in its files.

Hello, games such as Arc Raiders, Marvel Rivals, Helldivers 2, RV there yet, and RDR2 keep randomly crashing. Previously it would freeze up my entire system and i would have to restart. But I switched from Arch + Hyprland to Arch + KDE and that fixed it. But games are still randomly hard closing, no freezes or anything. I tried switching to CachyOS (basically Arch + KDE) to see if it was user error causing it, but my games still crash. Games outside of steam seem to be fine. Games like Minecraft and Hytale both ran just fine. It's not the ring GFX timeout issue others have been having. It seems like this started around like December? I'm not sure if there are any driver regressions or any updates causing this. Games like Arc Raiders used to be perfectly fine on my setups but it just started breaking and the games not even playable anymore. Should I try switching to something like Bazzite? Any ideas? I probably didn't include enough information so let me know if there's any other info you guys need.

Would like to play DS3 seamless co-op with my wife through PartyDeck, so we can just plug both monitors into my PC. I'd also like to get this working with Master Chief Collection, but i think if this gets solved that'll be a no brainer.

Downloaded DS3 no issues, and then took a little bit to get the Seamless Co-op mod up and running, kept giving me a white screen but that's fixed.

I downloaded PartyDeck, and the DS3 Seamless Co-Op handler from the proton link.

Now, the handler appears to be pointing PartyDeck to the right files, but when I click play... nothing happens.

For reference, I'm on Kubuntu 25.10, using Wayland, using the steam flatpak, I can provide more information if needed.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I downloaded gamescope, bubblewrap, and the fuse-overlayfs but it's possible I ended up with the wrong ones, the github doesn't really go into detail about where youre supposed to acquire these, I just typed sudo apt install gamescope and same for bubblewrap and fuse-overlayfs

I'm attempting to dual boot windows and linux. However, every time I press the power button on my primary monitor (Pixio PX275h), It never turns on from thereafter though Displayport. The problem goes away when connected through HDMI but that means no G Sync.

This happens no matter what distro I'm on. Be it Fedora KDE, Nobara, PikaOS and Cachyos. This is on the latest stable Nvidia driver with an EVGA 3080 FTW.

Hi, I was using CachyOS for like a year and it's been working like a charm for me. Everything runs very good. Recently I have been seeing just so many videos about bazzite and everyone switching win11 to bazzite. Is it really that good is it worth swapping cachy with bazzite

Also I always prefer arch over anything and i hate immutabe distros so for me i think that only is a big reason not to switch

i love the game, but the motion blur and all the issues it causes drives me crazy.

there's a mod that fixes this. however once i install, the game straight up refuses to launch.

even adding the DLLs as wine override doesn't seem to work

the proton log is 50k lines long, so idk if i should share it lol

Hello! I've been loving my experience with the system, I use dual boot and I only use windows if I absolutely have to. Everything is great but the only problem I'm having is center click. I don't like the dragging and I specially DONT' like the paste. Suposedly on quick settings the center click paste is disabled but it still keeps happening. Is there any way to make it work like it would on windows? No pasting nor dragging?

Hello, I use arch, proton 10 ge and heroic launcher from aur with pipewire. I noticed that I have no sound on payday 2 for some reseason, nor join a friend party, even with code it says failed to connect after loading for 30 sec. Any way to fix this 2 issues?

i use cachyos on kde plasma on my i5 12th gen + rtx 4060 laptop

my situation is as follows: i prefer to play cs2 with a 4:3 stretched aspect ratio and that just doesn't work well with x11, i managed to get it to work with gamescope, putting my launch settings as;

gamescope --expose-wayland -W 1440 -H 1080 -f -S stretch -r 144 -- %command%

but then my cursor would get stuck in an invisible box which meant i couldnt aim, and i managed to fix that with

gamescope --expose-wayland -W 1440 -H 1080 -f -S stretch -r 144 --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

at this point 4:3 stretched works just fine and steam overlay works but the performance is noticeably choppier than wayland. and wayland perfectly does the 4:3 stretch without me tinkering with anything, the performance is great, but breaks steam overlay, which i really need. so i guess my options are a) stick with wayland, enjoy the great performance but don't use steam overlay, or b) bite the bullet, get used to the poor performance with x11 but have access to a working steam overlay !

i'm new to linux and loving most parts and hating some parts but this was an annoyance to me that i couldnt manage to fix... i mainly want steam overlay for its game recording feature because i want a shadowplay-like tool where i can save clips of my gameplay which i love doing, and screenshots, which i can use obs for, but its a bit of a hassle. i would love being able to use the features steam already comes with...

i hope soon steam overlay works with wayland / vulkan, or whatever's wrong and prevents us from getting the best of both worlds

Der neue Cosmic-Desktop von System76 lässt sich auch unter CachyOS und Arch Linux installieren. So geht's.

Der Beitrag Cosmic-Desktop installieren unter CachyOS / Arch Linux erschien zuerst auf Rund um Linux.

Happens on Proton GE, doesnt matter if i use gamescope or not.

I'd say it happens only about 5% of the time, but thats just enough to annoy the hell out of me.

When it happens, it always happens like this- my game freezes on the loading screen, and then the game + steam crashes entirely.

Anybody else experiencing this?

I'm new to linux and linux gaming. I used the steaminstaller via Kubuntu's app store, and installed a few older games (Age of Empires II 2023 and Thief Gold).

They downloaded fine, and when I try running Thief, it gets to the main menu in a smaller window, and the mouse pointer will only travel halfway down the menu as if there's an invisible border. Clicking new game caused it to shut down.

I tried loading AoE II, and it made it to the startup menu. I selected play game, and it shut down immediately.

Both of these games worked fine when I had windows 10 installed and I have an older Nvidia 470 that I installed a driver for, so it should work. Any ideas for diagnosing the issue?

Both games rank as "gold" on protondb.com
