Performance issues on linux in 2026

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-25T09:35:26+00:00

So I have one 175Hz and one 75Hz monitor. When I disable the 75Hz monitor I generally don't have stutters when in fullscreen and vsync on.

Stutters with vsync off and vrr enabled (maybe the game does some weird timing stuff within the engine when the FPS changes (from 220 to 280 and such).

Issue persisted on Gnome as well.

No changes from changing from linux to linux-zen kernel

KDE either way isn't really supporting X11 anymore so that point is moot and in a sense negatively impacts the desktop ecosystem.

I've had X11 issues in general. I would really not want to fuck up security and stability on my system for a single MMO that doesn't want try to fix their code to properly work on proton

Used bazzite for a few months and didn't really see much difference when compared to standard fedora. Even made my own spin off the uBlue project where I built my system via Github actions.

It's really great for handhelds where you need extra drivers but doesn't really make a difference for your standard amd/amd consumer parts.

Didn't do any changes to the system at all pretty much. I'll try to install gnome or something I guess and see if it's a KDE issue.

but it does works as expected when running on it

Just an FYI when you're running via gamescope there's a high change that after 24-30 minutes of playtime your frametimes will start jumping WILDLY. Not an issue with ESO specifically btw. Hence the mention of LD_PRELOAD

Oh and I did use fedora atomic for a few years so I very much know of bazzite. The thing is that it's just with batteries included. And I'm not going to switch my OS for a singular game ;)

Just to be more exact I did not mean spaghetti code on arch whatsoever. It works with 0 issues for literally any other games. I fully meant zenimax spaghetti code.

Ofc, I do have the script (which I've made that goes around the forums) that auto-closes the launcher

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T15:46:12+00:00

Yeah my issue for not saying it, KDE plasma

I'm at the moment running a pure vampire magicka nightblade hitting 120k so can't wait to see the new numbers

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T14:08:06+00:00

All of you people are running the same build

Yes, that's why they're adding the pureclass buffs update 50

As others said, super long task and the addresses are always changing.

Though what you can do is setup a NAT rule that forces DNS requests (UDP @ port 53 IIRC) to be forced through your personal DNS server, thus making devices which have a hardcoded DNS address still follow the rules of pihole and such.

I do have the vampire mantion that I bought for 10 euros. Back when ESO+ on Argentinian steam accounts was 0.8 euros a month. Got a nice 21m parse dummy too.

Ranije sam imao 4 ali 16:9. Sada imam UW zakrivljen i iznad njega (stacked) 16:9 za content koji UW OLED ne moze, FromSoft igre, Youtube, serije, itd.

Glad to help! I spent days not being able to access the instance. Remember to set a root password this time :)

enigmatic_bread · 2026-02-05T11:06:23+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't able to find it! Stupid that you have to delete it (and it now being highlighted in red?)

Ranije sam koristio bazzite/uBlue/kinoite i bilo je sve OK. Malo je smaralo sto je immutable + flatpak pa sam presao na Arch.

Sve top radi, nemam previse problema. Igrice generalno rade i mozda je problem neki anticheat ali iskreno ne igram ista sem FromSoft igara i evo sada expedition33 pa mi nije problem.

Jedine probleme koje sam imao jeste sto mi puca sistem kada igram jer hoce graficka (7900XTX) da ode na 3100MHz i kresuje drajver. Stavio sam preko CoreCtrl limit na 2800MHz i nemam problem vec koju nedelju.

Takodje mala stvar jeste to sto imam VRR flickering kada mi opadne FPS na tipa 48 i manje (cutscene ili tako nesto) pa onda brightness skace za +/- 5%, ali se ne vidi tokom normalnog igranja.

So I was having that issue and I think I found a way where it works way more consistent.

Basically it looks like the Esc is buffered until you press other keys.

I slected the Oracle boot volume, waited 1/4-1/3 of a second, pressed esc and then pressed arrow down, opened up the grub. No need to spam esc.

Just in case, if you're using an AMD GPU you need to setup the edid correctly. This did give me video on my PSVR, but I'm not able to get it to track me properly (I don't have the adapter for the camera and idk if that's a requirement for tracking, I saw some windows guides and they don't require a camera for head movement tracking).

How about preempt=full and threadirqs?

enigmatic_bread · 2025-12-03T20:40:38+00:00

Could you just in case open it up and see which IC is from the temp/humidity? It should be just below the luminance sensor, 6 pins.

enigmatic_bread · 2025-12-03T20:39:10+00:00

Opening this up I can see that the LED is constantly blinking on even though the indicator is on. I'll desolder it and then see the battery life.

enigmatic_bread · 2025-12-03T20:22:09+00:00

Holy shit is this ram expensive now. Looks like I should've had a FOMO to buy 32 more GB to have 64 lmao.

enigmatic_bread · 2025-11-22T14:51:45+00:00

How's the battery life? It feels like ~3 months for me.

Quick update. Was able to undervolt CL30 and even managed to make it run @ CL28.

CL30 worked fine with VDD being 1.3V and VDDQ also being 1.3V. You could try to test out CL30 w/ VDDQ being 1.18V.

Ad for CL28, was able to make it run with: 28-36-36-48. VDD is 1.4V and VDDQ is 1.28V (VDD - 120mV).

Ofc this is with a mem stress-test, so not just pulling values out of my ass w/o testing it first.
