This is the only problem that's preventing me from my switch. I started my switch to linux around February and it was mainly a smooth transition. I was still using a 7800 XT.

I got a 9070 XT on launch day and learned that new GPU releases are not exactly good on linux. I've read that it was working nicely on day 1 but I was on Bazzite so I opted to wait for it to update.

Once the stable release dropped that had the requirements, it looked like my Steam games were mostly working again. However, my main games (FFXIV, and Hoyo gacha games) were still chugging. All of them use their own custom launchers and have their Wine prefixes.

From what I've read around, the RDNA 4 drivers are not in the kernel yet? Would this be the issue causing my non-Steam games to fail utilizing the GPU? This is really the only hurdle preventing me from daily driving linux again. I was getting used to it for a few weeks but the GPU upgrade forced me back to Windows.

Hey guys, I am getting crashes when playing Schedule I on Fedora KDE Wayland Spin. I have two monitors connected (1440p, 1080p). At first, I thought that the game fully crashes but what crashes is only the display on that monitor. I can hear sound, inputs from keyboard and mouse are working fine. I tried moving the game to the other monitor by pressing super+shift+right or left and it works fine (old display is stuck on the previous monitor) but it is just a matter of time until it crashes on the other monitor and have to reboot.

Things I tried: changing DP cable, playing on a single monitor, Re-seating graphics card, playing on the iGPU, connect HDMI instead of DP.

Hardware is AMD 9800x3d, 9070XT.

I have latest mesa, running on Proton Hotfix.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?

While Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed was already rated Steam Deck Verified by Valve, it's nice to see developers still making improvements to it.

It's more of a Wayland versus X11 thing.

And, even the lightweight X11 based desktops can no longer keep pace, much less dominate, in many testing scenarios.

From the story: "Wayland sessions were delivering the best gaming performance out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 25.04 beta. Often times it was a tight race between these desktop sessions but there were no instances observed where using an X11-based session provided a measurably better experience."

This is not an exhaustive test, I grant, but there is no denying that Wayland has clearly come into its own as a gaming platform. Now, if only Nvidia would get with the program, eh?

Hey everyone. So recently I downloaded Linux Mint Cinnamon and was looking forward to using steam again. However for some reason Steam is very slow and laggy when trying to play literally any game on my library. I have tried numerous things to get it to run correctly, but to no avail. My specs are as follows: - Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 Super - I5 9600k

Here is a list of what I have tried: - Deleting steam cache - Updating driver/ and using the recommended driver -Experimenting with all the other drivers on the driver manager list - Making sure my entire computer is up to date - Reinstalling steam - Enabling performance mode via bash - enabling protonfix on every game I tried -experimenting with other proton versions

What am I missing? Is linux just incompatible with my gpu?

Hello,

I am writing this post regarding an issue I found while trying to launch downgraded version of GTA: SA on steam. I have to first point out, that I did not run into same issue when using not downgraded version and proton 9.0 on steam. After launching ver. 1.0, window related with vulkan shaders doesn't start, but game does. After first two intro slides (Audio Company and Nvidia I think) games go completely black and unresponsive. In non-downgraded version some sort of video intro would start playing, yet here I can't even properly tab out of game (I can use keyboard but not mouse). I don't really know what to do, as I really want to use downgraded version on steam, as it worked out in other games I run on Linux. All future answers are welcome. I use Linux Mint 22.1 x86_64 on this PC.

P.S. I tried working with Bottles and Lutris, but they frequently were crashing with modded version and had lots of problems related to Wine Prefixes and Games not launching properly (problems with usage of Discrete Graphics Card for example - as I use Laptop with both integrated and discrete graphics cards).
