What have I missed in the last year or so?
Howdy! I've been out of the Linux scene for about a year or so- Thinking about wiping my old Linux drive and starting fresh with a primarily Linux dual-boot. I have a couple of questions out of interest before I hop back in.
Has there been any interesting news or advancements in the last year or so?
Have distros changed much re: performance and latency (And I know this question has been done to death)? I remember people said KDE had less latency a couple of years ago. I also saw people at the time saying it was too minor to matter; for those who care about such minutiae, have there been any advancements?
Any interesting or niche things?
Thanks!

How to get mods working on GTA V enchanced?
I saw that script hook V was released a few days ago for the GTA V enhanced edition. Has anyone gotten it working on linux? I've tried setting a dll override for dinput8 both in winecfg and as a launch option but that doesn't change anything. The game just loads normally without mods.
I'm on fedora 41 and I used proton hotfix to run the game.
Here are the launch options:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;socialclub=n,b;version=n,b;" %command% -nobattleye -noBE

5090 HDMI does not have audio output
I got a new 5090 to replace a 3090 on my PC running PopOS. After installation everything looks great but no audio: simply no audio device to choose from (except a "dummy output"). Audiojack works as normal. I reinstalled the whole system, problem persists. I installed a new EndeavourOS, same problem: no audio output device. I updated nvidia driver to 570 in both cases.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? I plan to try it on Windows see if it works.

Can I delete GTA Online?
Since GTA Online does not work on linux anymore, can I just delete the Online part of the game to save some storage that I can use for other games?
I have tried the following to delete the "dlc content" which is for online, however in my case it broke the single player (I got stuck in a mission where we would be planning to rob a small bank from a gas station or something like that): https://steamcommunity.com/app/271590/discussions/0/3463849349657905246/#c3463849349658001403
I am not sure if I deleted something I was not suppose to. Can some one let me know if there is a clear way to reduce the game size?

Ubuntu 24.04, fps drops and frametime flops when moving the mouse or arranging windows
Hi, I’m testing some different distros as I’m recently having some issues with my current endeavouros installation.
I tested ubuntu and everything works out of the box, Bluetooth is one of those things that need constant maintenance as it’s a motherboard wifi/BT chip and it does not work well with many distros.
After many years of hate I’m actually feeling really comfortable using ubuntu but this fps drops on the desktop is turning me insane, does anyone know what could be causing this? It’s a fresh install.
Running on an AMD car RX 7800, and as you can ser the cpu and gpu are not being stress tested or anything, this can happen with only one file explorer window opened and moving it causes this, it’s easy to ser as it moves smoothly and then starts skipping frames.
It searched online for many fixes, disable vsync in wayland, in mutter, but cannot find anything useful.
Thank you so much

I have very bad(compared to what I had on windows) performance in all games. How do I, as a newbie, figure out what is the problem?
I use fedora kinoite and I think my problems with performance is somehow connected to nvidia graphic card I have (same games run way better on my laptop that do not have graphic card and that have kinoite too). I installed drivers with a https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#OSTree_.28Silverblue.2FKinoite.2Fetc.29 guide.
What should I do? How do I pinpoint the issue as linux noob?

Rimworld not showing any chinese characters if opened using steam client
The game is runned on steam without anything, no wine, just straight click play on steam.
Tried methods to solve the issue:
- sudo pacman -S wqy-microhei
- sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-cjk
- checked fonts using fc-list :lang=zh
- export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
- launched RImworld using LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 %command%
- Googling the problem
This is the second time I encounter this problem. The first time I was doing dual-boot Windows, with my game files located in windows hard drive. I got called out by people, saying that mixing usages of partition will never do me any good, and I accepted that as the cause of problems. But now I wanted to install Arch linux, specifically EndeavorOS with KDE Plasma on my laptop, and since my university lecture require us to use VMWare, I thought of using it to test how hard is Arch for me to use, and lo and behold, the problem happened again.
The ironic thing is, at this steam link somebody said that launching rimworld without steam would work, and surprisingly, it did! WHY!? WHY IS STEAM LIKE THIS!?
If anyone has any idea on how this happened or how to solve this problem, you have my upmost gratitude. Thank you for reading this post
