I've had to boot to Windows to play both Stalker 2 and now Oblivion Remastered. Both games run at least 50% better on Windows side with my current rig which makes me infuriated. Has anyone else noticed a huge difference with this shitty UE5 games on Linux? Have you been able to do anything about this?

I'm on Fedora 42 and I've installed Nvidia drivers with the default guide for it. I'm using the open source drivers if I remember correctly. Are there proprietary Nvidia drivers for Fedora and are they measurably better when running UE5 games? All other single player games run almost better on my Linux install but UE5 is the opposite.

I'm getting so desperate that I'm thinking of just building a new beefier PC so I don't have to use Windows so much. I upgraded to the Nvidia GPU from an AMD GPU about two weeks before I got my first OneDrive pop up and decided to switch to Linux (**** me).

Specs:

OS: Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
Linux 6.14.3-300.fc42.x86_64
Display (MSI G27CQ4): 2560x1440 @ 144 Hz
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 4.21 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate [Discrete]
Ram: 16Gb

Ive been using my laptop for college and games for around a year by now, i've occasionally used steaminput on certain games for gyro aiming and its been mostly working fine with steam games and non steam games.
Most of the time i just ran my itch copy of celeste, using my switch controller natively, and now that's broken too.
It happened yesterday when i was trying to change the controller profile for halo mcc where the ui stopped responding mid configuration and i had to restart the system, from then on nothing's worked, the only application registering my input is input-remapper, not even dolphin sees any other devices.

Been troubleshooting for a while since and i just can't figure out what i should be doing.

Any help would be appreciated !

Looking to get a pc for my wife and will probably be putting fedora 42 gnome on it. I know the 3070 ti is faster technically but was unsure how much nvidea is doing in the present with there drivers. Also I know 3070 ti is 8gb vram while the 6700 xt is 12gb. How much is that going to affect current and near future gaming? If I remember right the 12700k is a better gpu than the 5800x.

System 1: $700 12700K CPU 6700XT GPU

System 2: $750 5800x CPU 3070 TI GPU

NVIDIA sent out a security bulletin today to reveal a fresh security flaw found in their Linux GPU drivers. So it’s time to get updating again to be safe.

People continually say adding the following code ******** to a script or file or something to modify starting parameters etc, but where and how do you add it? One example given was to add "dx11 / --use-d3d11" to get Steam or game to use dx11 instead of dx12.

When trying to play SKSE, NPCs mouths will move like they're talking, but the audio doesn't play and subtitles don't come up until they're done moving their mouths, and they won't start moving their mouths for the next line until the previous line has completely finished playing.

I've tried Proton Experimental, Hotfix, GE, and Proton 7, all have the same issue. I've tried setting the launch option WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% as well.

Any ideas?

Linux-wise, I'm total noob, so keep that in mind.

The goal is to give my old laptop a last chance before donating it to electro-junk container so it could serve as a HTPC with the possibility of lightweight gaming (like, very lightweight).

What I need:

• possibility to install old proprietary Nvidia drivers (from 384 to 390)
• possibility to disable Optimus and force the OS to use dGPU only (no BIOS option for that). This tool seems lovely. This is necessary since iGPU cannot even handle Steam itself lol

And that's basically that. What I tried so far:

• Ubuntu - first encounter with Linux so it went pretty bad
• Nobara - I liked it but it doesn't support such an old GPU. I would have to switch to Xorg and somehow install unsupported drivers (which I tried but with no results)
• Zorin OS - another good overall experience, with apparent support for 390 driver. However installing resulted with "pk-client-error-quark: Error while installing package (...) post installation error code 10 (313)." Despite that, I feel like overcoming this issue would be my endgame on the matter of perfect distro.

I'm pretty sure it can be done but my absolute lack of knowledge blocks me quite effectively to perform any troubleshooting without help. I can always go back to Win10 but it puts a significant strain on this pc and Win7 is not an option anymore.

So, where should I head?

Hello,

I've noticed high VRAM usage in KDE, which has been affecting the games that I'm able to run properly. My hardware the following

Distro: Fedora 42 KDE spin

CPU: AMD ryzen 7800X3D

GPU: RTX 3080 10G

Driver version: 570.144 (though I have noticed this issue in earlier driver versions too.)

RAM: 32 GB 6000MT/s DDR5

Sitting on the desktop and running nvidia-smi sees my GPU running at 2.3-2.7GB of VRAM Usage. This is after disabling mallit-keyboard and exiting out of steam (or disabling hardware acceleration) and running no other programs such as web browsers

Unfortunately this effectively makes it so that my card is limited to using 8GB of VRAM for games, which is causing issues in newer releases, cause when I fill up the VRAM buffer, the game's FPS drops substantially until I restart the game. For example in Oblivion remastered, If I start the game in a dungeon, vram usage is at about 8GB of 10 and it runs at a locked 60 fps. Exiting into the overworld fills the VRAM buffer almost immediately and I drop to 20-50 fps with inconsistent frame times. Going back into the dungeon afterwards leaves the game running at 20-50 Fps though, as VRAM is still maxed out. This remains an issue until I restart the game. A similar issue is present in

Basically, I have a few questions here:

Is the high VRAM usage on desktop present for anyone using AMD hardware? Is this a KDE specific issue? If you're running on Gnome or another desktop, is VRAM usage still high? Are there any recommendations for tweaks I could make? I've tried stuff such as creating an embedded game scope session to launch into for more modern games, but unfortunately embedded game scope still has too many issues on Nvidia hardware to make that a viable solution for now.

Video at the end, I guess. Was expecting it to be at the top, but posted this on r/linux4noobs and the video got sent to the end of the post.

I dind't do much on the OS after installing it, but I believe everything is updated (both the Update Manager and the Driver Manager says there's nothing new to be installed for quite some time now).

I've tried everything in the ProtonDB page that vaguely mentioned texture issues or flickering of any kind and nothing seems to even reduce the problem. Everything in the game also works just fine, like sounds and controls, the problem is only in the flickering textures (the weird framerate is just because of the recording).

Specs:

• OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
• KERNEL: 6.8.0-51-generic
• CPU: Intel Core i7-8565U @ 1.80GHz
• GPU: Intel Mesa Intel UHD 620 (WHL GT2)
• GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1
• RAM: 16 GB

What I saw in the ProtonDB page and I tried includes this (there was some other stuff but I test so much things from there I can't remember all of it):

Switching Proton versions:

• Standard version as well as Proton Hotfix (don't know if those two are the same but, in any case, there's a drop down menu that specifies this "Hotfix" version)
• Experimental
• 8.0-5
• 7.0-6
• 6.3-8
• GE 9-27
• GE 9-XX (I believe it was 20-something, unfortunately don't have the files anymore)
• GE 7-48

Setting launcher options:

• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;winmm=n,b" mangohud %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
• __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 game-performance %command%
• gamemoderun WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 %command% -dx11
• RADV_DEBUG=llvm %command%

On the game settings:

• Changing resolutions
• Changing graphical presets
• Disabling the "improve performance by model swap"
• Fullscreen, Windowed and Borderless windowed
• Framerate cap
• Vsync on and off (which I still didn't figured out what it do)

Other stuff:

• Changing the config.ini file "WindowModeOption" line
• Deleting the config.ini file
• Installing the reframework mod that says to correct some dll problems
• Booting the game without external monitors connected

Other games that I was able to play without a problem like this one (I don't know, maybe it could help in something):

• Fate/EXTELLA LINK (Steam, install and play)
• PAYDAY 2 (Steam, install and play)
• Project Wingman (Steam, install and play)
• X2: The Threat (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues)
• Flatout 2 (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues)
• Project Wingman (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues and install vcrun2022 because the game wouldn't open)

hey, so i have an older laptop with and old ass pentium and 820M gpu. The newer distros example mint 22 dont support drivers for this gpu and installing 340 or 390 driver causes an never ending boot, so is there a distro that supports older hardware? or do i have to use older version of for example mint, if so what version?
