So I turned off fractional scaling (i did that before as well and nothing changed) and ran more updates and then shut down and rebooted- issue seems to be stopped for the moment.
if it comes back, I will create an update post. Thanks!
Follow up - issue came back. I’m thinking it may be hardware or driver at this point. I am going to mess with that this evening and I will report back.
If that doesn’t work - I will do the os refresh bc I haven’t actually done that yet.
Edit: this is more of a log for myself at this point, but I am refreshing the os now.
edit two, the editing: refresh complete. will update tomrrow.
Hahaha - update on issue, it was my switch, but not the switch, I think WHEN I used the the switch (like toggling between my other machine) it made things mad until I rebooted. Then when I rebooted it was fine until I used the switch again. So I just changed the things I used on the switch and everything is kosher now.
Maybe I’m missing something, but it didn’t look like the GPU was engaging at all. 15fps? That doesn’t seem right. Given that the overlay had a battery percentage reading, and the GPU readings were all zero, I’m guessing this was on a laptop, and it didn’t switch from using the iGPU to using the GPU.
Either that, or NVK has a lot of work to do, and that doesn’t track with recent news about its progress.
OP, is this your test? Can you shed light on the results?
I believe you’re correct that the GPU isn’t being engaged at all. For one I highly doubt it’s NVK because it’s certified as “Vulkan 1.3 conformant” meaning it’s a complete to spec implementation. The overly also say it’s using a “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4090 Laptop GPU”… Then it also says that there’s 0 watts being drawn from both the GPU & CPU which is extremely odd.
Maybe it’s a driver issue?
Nouveau doesn’t support power/load reporting yet. Some games will work better than others. Just because it is comformant does not mean it will be fast either. Comformance comes first then optimizations.
That said, it could still be running on the wrong gpu, but i don’t know. My experience when I’ve tried it on my 4080 hasn’t been mind blowing performance, but much better than before all this work started landing.
What about the proprietary driver? IDK if they’re even using Nouveau or not. NVK is apart of Mesa… Also just noticed that they’re running it under Wayland directly… And with HDR. Kinda in a very experimental area. Point is we need more specs. Would love to see a hw-prope.
It is definitely Nouveau. NVK is just the Vulkan side of it. NVK is in a experimental level. I personally would not run it daily yet, ignoring the lack of some video features and dlss in games. They have made huge strides in the last couple years with it though,
Edit: He has been posting videos for a while now running NVK, btw.
I’m aware. I’m just pointing out that he needs to publicize his specs hw-prope and that he’s stacked on 3 layers of experimental software. Nvidia on Wayland is WIP, HDR on Wayland is WIP and NVK is work in progress, even VKD3D with NVK is experimental.
It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that NVK’s latest progress has little to do with performance, and that it will take years to achieve performance parity or even remotely near the proprietary drivers.
One thing that should raise morale for us all, is that Nvidia is now actively contributing to the respective FOSS drivers.
Oh really? I thought I saw elsewhere that it had achieved and even exceeded performance of the proprietary driver in another test. Maybe it was just that specific case.
It can be fast in one test and slow in 49 on one generation and on another generation it could be faster on 10 and slower 40. Just the nature of complex software supporting various generation of hardware.
they’re the secret fourth and fifth window buttons that the government doesn’t want you to know about (one pins window behind everything when there is a lotta windows, the other pins it on top of everything)
The above user seems to be on Plasma. In which case it’s buried in the settings somewhere (KDE in a nutshell lol). I believe it’s somewhere in the themes section, IIRC.
On Gnome you can access the same functionality by right clicking the header bar. There’s also an option to have a window always move to the workspace you’re on, which is pretty cool.
E: idk who’s downvoting me relaying features that someone asked about, but that’s hilarious. How did that offend you?
I had some trouble with 2.4.4 on proton 7. It would get very laggy after being open for a while. I updated to 2.5.0 on proton 9 beta and it’s been running smoothly with hundreds of mods.
the only thing that wasn’t working {for me at the very least.} were the direct downloads from Nexus via MO2 but that’s inconsequential since you can always just install the mods manually.
but yes, MO2 works perfectly in Wine/Proton. it’s especially easy to set up a shortcut to it using Lutris. for example, installing New Vegas using the GOG install script and then editing the settings to replace NV’s executable with the MO2 executable.
I really only wanted mods to fix the horrible 2011 Xbox 360 UI and to remove the dynamic enemy level scaling, but for the latter no manual install guides were provided and it seems you must use one of these mod organizing softwares for whatever fucking reason.
For mod organizer no install instructions were provided for a Linux/GOG combination so I just gave up trying to mod Skyrim. I just wanted two goddamn mods and I failed.
damn is there a 4.2.2? Only readon for me using the ols version is rhat it has been like this since windows and everything is just symlinked from there lol
Nice man thats awesome you should check out lampray
Currently only supports BG3 and cyberpunk2077 but has plans for Bethesda games I think the beta on his discord might allow them. Anyway it’ll be a linux mod manager for multiple games once complete
Thanks for shouting this out. Honestly the only thing keeping me going back to Windows is the complexity in getting modding done on various games, Bethesda and BG3 among them. I know it can be done, but there are too many hoops for my post-work brain to jump through. End up running out of spoons to keep learning all the new concepts. This is exciting, definitely keeping an eye on this as hopefully the final barrier breaker to switch to Linux full time.
I’m dual booting windows and linux and I’m only using Windows for applications I can’t get to run on Linux. If I’m installing Vanguard on Windows, could that be a safety concern for my Linux partition? Since I have no personal data on Windows, I wouldn’t mind installing it there, as long as it’s not an issue for my linux partition
Gonna give this a try! I’ve been jumping between clients on my Hyprland desktop… rn I can’t do global PTT on any third-party apps, despite Hyprland passing the input through to the app exclusively. I haven’t even looked at Vesktop, though!
Have you been able to update the flatpak version yet? I also get the pop-up when launching Vesktop telling me there’s an update. But when I when I try update through flathub it says I’m on the newest version already.
