So I switched to mint about a month ago. Loving it. Playing the few games I still play. Performance as good or a touch better than windows.

Had to do some stuff in Windows only software. Boot into mint. Open browser. Weirdly slow. Open steam. Takes a while. Launch helldivers 2. Literal frame rates so low and stuttering so hard that I can count the individuals frames. Also happens in the opening video.

I haven't done anything special or done some downloading of now software or messing around.

Haven't been able to really find a trouble shooting path to take but man. This is just like when I tried Linux years ago. Great and then just shits the bed for no reason.

Should probably include some specs.

Hello,
I installed EndeavourOS, but I have a problem with my headset. It disconnects every few seconds. Sometimes it works for a longer time, but then it starts disconnecting randomly again.
Do I need to install something to make it work properly?

Hello!

I'm looking to see if I can get any VR mods working with Cyberpunk 2077. It current runs perfectly via Proton in normal mode. I tried UEVR via these instructions, but the game crashes when I attempt the injection. I'd happily pay for the the Luke Ross mod, but I've read that it relies on an API call that's not implemented in WINE/Proton. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks!

I recently bought a new PC, and I'm having some trouble playing games through Steam. I think it's specifically a problem with Vulkan, as games launch fine when using an OpenGL renderer (for those games that allow you to choose rendering before launching).

I thought it was because I didn't have Vulkan drivers(?) installed, so I installed amdvlk, and that got vkcube working. But that didn't fix the problem for Steam games...

I'm not sure what to do, and I haven't been able to find a solution online.

A little more information:

• GPU: AMD RX 9070 XT
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• Distro: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia (based on Ubuntu 24.04 noble)
• Kernel: 6.11.0-26-generic
• Steam installed through sudo apt install steam
• Proton version set to Proton Hotfix (the default)
• Mesa version: 25.0.0

Let me know if I need to provide any more info. Any help appreciated!

Hi. I recently started playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I noticed pretty low performance. I watched YouTube benchmarks on the same GPU (AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with Ryzen 5 7600 as CPU, 16GB RAM), and they had way better performance. Then I tried installing the game on Windows, and I too got much better frame rates.

With Linux, I get about 100 on ray-tracing ultra on 1080p, with FSR3 framegen enabled. However, even the framegen does not feel like it is doing anything; it boosts the framerate in numbers, but it still feels below 60 FPS. On Windows my monitor was locked at 60Hz so with FSR3 FG on, I got stable 120 FPS on same settings on the benchmark.

I tried running the game in gamemode too, but that did not help. Any further suggestions?

The issue happens whenever I enter a match or shortly after the game starts. I opened the game natively and the problem persists with any solutions that I can find through surface level googling

Hi community,

A while back, I used to use chromium with my linux gaming PC until recently I've been having this very strange issue. Whenever I have Chromium open for a long time (steam is also always open) and after a while launch a game on steam...I'll get REALLY low fps (like 10 fps). For this reason I've had to use firefox and the issue has gone away.

I would like to know if anyone else is having, or has had, this issue before. If so...were you able to fix it?

This is driving me absolutely insane...I just cannot find what is causing the issue.

PC specs:

mobo: Gigabyte B450 AORUS M

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

32G RAM

RX 6600 8GB video card

1440p monitor @ 165hz

1TB nvme

OS -- Arch Linux vanilla...however...I've tried a bunch of Linux distros and it's the same issue.

As per the subject line, I switched to Arch, last Sunday in fact, everything has been (mostly) smooth so far, but there are two points I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers on:

1) By default, KDE Plasma/Wayland has a Screen Tearing setting under Display Configuration that's turned on by default (Allow in fullscreen windows), would this override V-Sync or G-Sync in games at all?

2) In the Nvidia Control Panel in Windows, there's a toggle for Low Latency Mode (originally known as maximum pre-rendered frames) where you can set it to On or Ultra, and I am wondering if that setting exists for the proprietary Nvidia driver in Linux, because I want to flip it on, and nvidia-settings is unhelpful for this.

For those unfamiliar with the Low Latency Mode settings or those needing a refresher, I don't remember exactly when Nvidia changed that setting, but it used to be called "Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames," the default was either 3 or 4, and you could set it to 1 to keep the frame queue low and thus latency lower. Setting Low Latency Mode to On basically was equivalent to setting the aforementioned setting to 1, and the Ultra setting for Low Latency Mode was basically turning on the predecessor to Nvidia Reflex.

So for quick context, I'm currently running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 on Hardware listen below:

• Ryzen 5 7600 on Stock cooler (Latest chipset driver)

• Nvidia RTX 3060Ti MSI Ventus 3x (572.83 driver NVCP only)

• MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi (Latest BIOS version 25/3/06)

• 32GB (16x2) Teamgroup T-create DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 (Expo profile 1)

• 1 TB WD SN850x (Boot drive for W11 with latest firmware)

• 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD (Game drive 1)

• 500GB 860 Evo SATA SSD (Game drive 2)

• Acer Nitro XV272U W2 27" QHD IPS 240Hz (primary display)

• BenQ Zowie 24" TN LCD (secondary display)

• Keychron K8 Wireless Mechanical keyboard (I use it wired for latency reasons)

• HyperX Pulsefire Haste

I usually play games using official launchers like: Steam, Epic Games, Rockstar Launcher, EA, GOG, Ubisoft, Riot client, My.Games and some more.

So the games I usually being playing for the past 6-9 months until now are:

1. Cyberpunk 2077
2. Warface
3. Xdefiant
4. RDR2
5. Forza Horizon 5 & 4
6. Metro Exodus
7. Horizon Zero Dawn
8. Witcher 3
9. Resident Evil 4
10. Valorant (I don't play it anymore)
11. Apex Legends
12. Combat Master
13. Need for Speed Heat
14. Need for Speed Unbound
15. Nioh 1 & 2
16. AQW
17. TLOU part 1
18. Far Cry 3
19. Control
20. GTA V (SP/Online)
21. God of War
22. The Division
23. Assassin's Creed Unity/Syndicate/Origins
24. Tomb Raider
25. Doom

Question is, technical Linux knowledge and troubleshooting aside.

1. Experts who have tried-and-tested, switched from Windows 11 OS to Bazzite OS is there any benefit and noticeable advantages in terms of FPS (better frametimes, 1% lows, Average), input lag, latency, compatibility, drivers, mod support?

2. How are the Ethernet/WiFi drivers on Bazzite compared to W11?

3. Will bloatware, spyware, adware, and other forms of data collection will be limited or non-existent when compared to W11?

4. How is the update lifecycle on Bazzite when compared to W11?

5. How is the feature support in Bazzite when compared to W11? Like HDR, 10-bit, DLSS, LSFG

6. How is the resource utilisation outside of games when compared to W11? especially IDLE, Wattage, CPU/GPU/RAM/NVMe utilisation

7. How does 3rd party tools like VLC, Qbitorrent, Revo Uninstaller, LatencyMon, Process lasso, GPU-Z, CPU-Z, WD dashboard, Samsung Magician, Ryzen Master, Firefox look like when compared to W11?

8. Is there anything unique that I will experience in bazzite that I won't in W11?

9. What are the compromises that I have to accept and face when moving to Bazzite?

10. How is the multiplayer experience in terms of connectivity like ping, network latency, packet loss when compared to W11?

11. Lastly, how optimized is gaming and game support on bazzite when compared to W11?

Sorry for the barrage of questions that may or may not have been answered before, but, everyone has different system configurations and situations/use cases for why they switch OSes.

I just want you people to answer/link as much as you want and I will dedicate my time and effort to read it and decide for myself if I want to stay or move. If some of my questions above stupid, please ignore and I apologise in advance for that. Please let me know your thoughts, it is a BIG decision for me.

Seems like any game i try to use fsr3.1 frame gen in , it acts stuttery and laggy. Not acting right. My displays OSD is all over the place. Stalker 2 I'd use it on windows to achieve a high refresh rate and it would be a smooth experience. Not getting that here. Same in oblivion remake. Gamescope or not. I'm using a VRR OLED display with it. Is frame gen through rdna3 still not worked out completely? What am I doing wrong? Running Cachy os with a 7900xt and 7800x3d.

With GE-Proton or GE-Proton-rtsp video players do work but not properly, the video slider doesn't work so if someone else changes it or you join mid-video you can't really do much about it. Anyone know a fix for that or is that kinda just an issue for now? Been wondering for a while.
