Hello everyone, I own a Framework laptop 16.

I have been expereiencing an issue where after a few minutes(1-5) the fps is getting cut in half.

About my system

The root is on btrfs(cache,tmp,root,log,snapshots)

The home is ext4

GRUB + kernel zen

CPU: Ryzen7 7840hs

GPU: Radeon 780m

RAM: 128GB(2x64GB) 5600MHz Crucial

DE: Hyprland

Shell: Bash

About the issue:
Almost every game I try starts with a pretty high fps 60+, and after a few minutes it drops down to mid 30s, and there it stutters. I mean it climbs up to 45 and then suddenly drops back to 30. The frame time looks like a squarewave.
Thermals aren't even that high(highest is 79 on the cpu and 69 at the gpu).
The GPU clocks stay the same for all the time(2700MHz)
The GPU power also stays quite the same fluctating between 30 and 40W but most of the time it is in the upper 30s(36-38).

Deathloop performance

I experienced this issue with a number of games including CS2, Deathloop, Beamng,Snowrunner.
Beamng data

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I am trying to rdr on my fairly old laptop with a GT550m, the last Nvidia driver that it supports is 390xx and I am using Manjaro Linux with the proprietary drivers.

When I try to run the game just by wine RDR.exe it gives the error "A hardware graphics adaptor with support for D3d_level_011 is required". I am pretty sure my card supports dx11 (techpowerup says it can) I have also been able to successfully run the latest version of BeamngDrive through wine, which i am pretty sure is >=dx11 only.

If I try to run the game through steam proton, it will give an access violation C00005 error before even opening a game window.

The result of vulkaninfo is as follows: (I'm not sure my card supports Vulkan at all):

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : setup_loader_term_phys_devs: Failed to detect any valid GPUs in the current config ERROR at /usr/src/debug/vulkan-tools/Vulkan-Tools/vulkaninfo/./vulkaninfo.h:247:vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices failed with ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

the most recent thing I attempted was following some Windows guides to forcing the game to run in dx10 mode through addon scripts, but none of them have made any difference.

Getting things to run on this system has always been dodgy, some games only run thru wine directly whereas others do work thru steam, sometimes a newly installed game will seem like it doesn't work until restarting.... for some reason. All this to say, I am just looking for some workaround to one of the two errors I would get above, expecting to actually fully solve this is a pipe-dream:)

Any advice on steps I could take to troubleshoot and workaround these problems to eventually get the game running would be appreciated.

System information

• CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1155G7 @ 2.50GHz
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (TigerLake-LP GT2 [8086:9a49])
• Distro: Pop!_OS (latest updates installed)
• Kernel versions installed:
  • 6.12.10-76061203 (works fine)
  • 6.16.3-76061603 (causes issues)
  • 6.9.3-76060903 (removed, older version)

Issue description
After updating to kernel 6.16.3, I started experiencing severe performance regressions on my laptop. With kernel 6.12.10, everything still works fine.

Here are the problems with 6.16.3:

• In the game Bloodstrike, the system becomes very laggy when using "High Performance" mode.
• Strangely, switching to "Power Saver" mode makes the game run smoothly at around 60fps.
• When the AC adapter is plugged in, performance drops heavily again, regardless of power mode.
• Even playing a 1080p YouTube video causes stuttering and noticeable system lag.

This behavior did not exist on kernel 6.12.10, where both games and video playback were smooth.

Steps to reproduce

1. Boot into kernel 6.16.3.
2. Launch Bloodstrike or play a 1080p YouTube video.
3. Switch between "High Performance" and "Power Saver" modes.
4. Plug in the AC adapter and observe the performance difference.

Expected behavior

• High Performance mode should increase performance, not reduce it.
• Watching 1080p video or running games should not cause lag.

Question

1. Is this a kernel regression related to power management or Intel GPU handling?
2. What’s the recommended way to report and debug this further?

Hello. I recently got a new lenovo laptop, it's an ideapad 5 with a ryzen 7 8845hs and igpu. I'm using ubuntu 25. I could play cs2 for about a month on it, and one day after updating cs2 i got an error that read:
"createSwapChain: the selected graphics queue does not support presenting a swapchain image"
I'm not sure which update specifically caused it since I had not played nor updated the game for a couple months.

Any ideas? I saw some people had the same problem a couple years ago on dota 2, but did not find anything related to cs2.

So I'm currently in the process of backing everything up on my pc and making the switch to linux since security updates are stopping for win10 next month and I don't want to switch to win11 as my main OS.

On my windows pc I use GOG Galaxy to be able to see all games I own, so I use integrations to log-in into steam, epic, ubisoft, origin, xbox*, mainly to have a graphical overview where I can see everything I own, that also automatically updates when I get a new game. now to the question. Do Integrations work on Linux too? if not is there a software for linux where I can log in to all the above accounts and have a combined automatically updating game library.
*Yes I know I can't play my xbox library on linux, I just want to be able to see all games I have, it's not necessarily to actually be able to play them all on linux, I will have to have a small win11 partition as a backup for that.

Have ipad and android phone I could use, but haven't been able to locate anything compatible.

Haven't been able to locate any of the linux compatible stream deck managers citing mobile compatibility.

i just got settled into bazzite because of mutas recommendation months ago too on it cause i thought a lot of people saying its one of the most ... put together systems for gaming and stuff and home brew all that stuff but then muta says theres this arch like system called cachy OS that runs games as well as steamOS on his steamdeck which is also arch based i think right? and bazzite is fedora based but people said on yt that its more advanced then basic fedora

but i got pretty sold by what muta says about cachy OS tho and im sitting here like well can i just run an ISO and it just flops it all over to cachy and keep all my settings and software and files? or is it more painful then that? how tf do you distro hop as muta explains and is it worth it?

also i dont care about distros too much.. i think any linux is a good linux. but the angle im at is well since steamdeck is arch based, should i go to some other system like cachy which is arch based? thats all i care about. cause ive had tiny hiccups with bazzite and its confusing layout but overall its still wildly great

Hi! I have been using Bazzite for a while now (60 days) and didn't get much time to play initially as I only played for 20-30 mins a day. I finally got a strech of free time and I played for few hours for the past few days. Bazzite has been smooth and trouble free for me but I am now presented with a a very peculiar issue.

I have a Ryzen 7 5700X + RX 9060 XT 16GB setup. I only use it to play games. It was running properly till yesterday and all of a sudden while I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn remastered, the fans suddenly started ramping more than 50% (crossing 3800 RPM). Then it's drops down to Zero RPM mode for 10-15 seconds and then the fan again ramps up to 3800 RPM and make a huge fan noise for 5-10 seconds and the cycle keeps occuring again and again.

I tried to adjust the fan curves with LACT & CoolerControl but nothing worked.

This issue simply doesn't exist while I install windows 11.

Please guide me through this issue.

Hope this is a good place to ask, does anyone have the files for the Steam game with malware, "Block Blasters?"

I genuinely have no idea what it is that people, specifically gamers, are missing from being able to mess with their root folder. It's bizarre to me that people advise against Bazzite for people who are specifically new to Linux and switching from Windows for this reason. What are you doing that you can't do with flatpak, appimages, or distrobox?
