Sometimes, after playing a game for a while and alt-tabbing and coming back to it, or, after playing a game for a while and relaunching it, the game loses almost all of its performance. From what I've seen, the issue is with the GPU, as it appears to have much smaller power draw (according to MangoHud). Worth noting, that such thing happens in all 3D games (War Thunder was just easy to show) and on KDE and Gnome, so it's not game or DE exclusive. The only way to fix the issue is to completely restart the computer.

SYS INFO:
* Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)
* Kernel 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64
* KDE Plasma 6.4.4 on Wayland with VRR enabled
* AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
* AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT
* mesa 25.1.7
* 32 GB RAM
* 2 TB NVME SSD drive

And below, two screenshots, showing the game running normally and abnormally, with the issue present.

dramatically low performance and lower power draw

Recently I've had some performance drops on Windows 10. I'm also worried about the lack of support for Windows after October, and my experiences with Windows 11 haven't been the best, so I decided to either migrate to Linux or use a dual boot with windows. One of my friends recommended Pop OS or Nobara. I did my research, but I'm still in doubt between the two and need some help choosing.

I was on Arch for a really long time, but returned to Windows when Oblivion Remastered came out. It was very poorly optimized upon release and my RTX 4080 struggled to maintain a stable 60 FPS outdoors.

I read that driver version 580 was supposed to address this bug. Did it?

Does anyone know good Palworld settings to make the game playable on CachyOS?

I tried many Proton versions and all of them crashed in the menu.

Only with Proton 8 I was able to get into the game, but it was unplayable.

All my other games worked without problems.

Also, the reports on ProtonDB are outdated, and I think since the latest Palworld updates it doesn’t work for most people anymore.

I tried to install cjkfonts using `winetricks cjkfonts` however when I go to `drive_c/windows/Fonts` cjkfonts are not there. Instead they are in `dosdevices/z:/usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto`. This make the game that I want to play cannot access those fonts.

However, when I `wine notepad`, notepad can render chinese characters correctly

Hi all! I’m very new to Linux, my network engineer brother recently gifted me an older Think Pad with pop_os, as well has been continually educating me more on topics of online security/privacy etc… I’ve learned a fair bit in a small time, but still very much feel like a novice.

I’m looking to get into pc gaming for the first time, but I’m definitely wanting to steer clear of Windows 11. I don’t really play competitive multiplayer games requiring anti-cheat, so I don’t think I would miss much by being a full Linux convert.

As a console player my whole life, pc gaming always intimidated me, but now I’m both wanting/willing to put the time in and take the plunge. I’m happy to put the time in and research, but can anyone help give me some ideas on where to start? I’m looking for as powerful of a laptop a budget of $2500 US can get me that pairs really well with Linux?

I’ve also been doing a lot of research on which distros fair well with gaming, but I am also happy to receive any advice on that front that people are willing to depart with! Thank you all for your time!

I love Linux. I have it on my (personal) work laptop and a couple others. However, I plan on installing a de-bloated version of Windows 11 on my main desktop computer once the Windows 10 EOL comes to fruition. WINE doesn't support everything, but I need it to. Is this a fair decision to make? Am I now a "fake" or a "poser"? (Not a genuine concern). I'm certain those on Arch are going to say so. Also, my desktop does not have the specs good enough to run Windows in a VM even with GPU passthrough because my CPU is already a bottleneck my GPU, so taking away some of my compute to host a VM is not going to be acceptable for VM videogame perfomance.

Hi! I am trying to use VR on Linux but latency has been an issue. ALVR runs at about 74ms and WiVRn at about 60-65ms of latency but that is simply too high for games such as Beat Saber. It's really been driving me crazy and I hope that you guys here would maybe be able to help out! My network latency as reported by ALVR is only around 5ms, I use a 5Ghz network and my PC uses ethernet so I don't think this is much of a network issue. I have a Radeon RX 6750 XT and I'm on Fedora 42. Thanks for responding!

Problem:

Launching wineboot -u (or any other wine command) on a fresh prefix (~/.wine) hangs indefinitely. Ctrl+C does not interrupt.

With NVIDIA drivers installed, Wine immediately crashes with access violation (c0000005). Removing NVIDIA drivers and using amdgpu allows Wine to run correctly.

Steps Taken:

• Verified 32-bit libraries installed (lib32-nvidia-utils, Vulkan working)
• LANG=C, clean user, WINEARCH=win64
• Tested on fresh prefix
• Tested on an old kernel, same result.
• glxinfo shows NVIDIA RTX 2060 correctly
• nvidia-smi works correctly
• nvidia and amdgpu modules are loaded
• I have no custom xorg.conf
• Other Wine builds such as staging or AUR, proton don't work with same behavior

Additional Context:

Previously, I had a different Arch Linux installation with GNOME, where Wine and games worked correctly with NVIDIA drivers. This issue only occurs on my current setup with Openbox.

Question:

What could cause Wine to crash immediately when NVIDIA drivers are installed?

Are there any further diagnostics I should perform?

Are there any patched Wine builds recommended for Arch Linux with this hardware?

My helldivers 2 used to work and i tried to play it today because it had been a while but it stopped working
i used to use proton hotfix or experimental with

mangohud gamemoderun WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE=1 %command% --use-d3d11

but this does not launch anymore i also looked at steam db but the options provided there like DXVK_ASYNC=1 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 gamemoderun %command% --use-d3d11 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES

do work but i get like 3 FPS

i am on manjaro KDE and have GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 9070/9070 XT/9070 GRE
and CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (24) @ 5.658GHz

Love retro boomer shooters and need another to add to your list? Mala Petaka has just arrived on Steam and it's rather colourful.

As much as I like SwayFX, it keeps having problems with GTX 1650 and Gaming I did not have when I was still on KDE Plasma. Does anyone have the perfect setup for that? I use Arch personally and don't think it is the problem though I would love to hear what Distros you guys use with your WMs.

I personally just wanna play my Steam Games but also GOG stuff through Heroic Games.
