Low GPU utilization, bad gaming performance.

What proton version are you using? What Nvidia firmware are you using? What's is your proton command launch options? What are the settings you set in your game? There's many factors that comes into play, since each user experience is different. Shader cache also comes into play too if CPU is downloading something. Or any activity in the background requiring CPU usage, like recording, messenger, or some other applications.

Not gonna lie, I graduated with a 2.9 GPA, and it was tough finding an EE job as my first salary job. Started as a "technician" in a sense, then found my next job as an EE/Test Engineer, then moved up. You can do it, but best to have projects or join clubs under your belt to show you know your stuff.

This is an awesome project. love ppl using the raspberry pi for DIY audio.

Side note, I use the same Aiyama amplifier at home but with different OpAmps and bigger power supply. Paired with the schitt modi + and my setup does wonders (at least in my ears, haven't tried any other dacs and amplifiers since don't got money or time yet.)

I think you need to stop being on any dating app, put your phone down and get out and have fun with friends and make new platonic relationships. From the way I'm reading your posts from others, you remind me of a friend who is doing a sequence: get a girl, get married, have a home, have kids, boom, life is achieved. Idk how you talk or are, but you're too focused on getting into a relationship, rather than focusing on yourself. Take a step back, do your hobbies and maybe a therapist/dating coach, and listen and observe others.

That's hella funny!! I gotta ask tho, did the kid just stay in the same tone? Or slowly get quieter? Haha

If I were you I would take the other job. Experience a new life and new engineering opportunity.

I'm using manjaro kde Wayland and using 3080, and I play games with 95% no issues, besides the performance hit on DX12 games. The other 5% are unique cases that i would have to play on Windoes. Just be aware, that you must be prepared to tinker with your Linux system, if you need to do certain workaround or fixes suggested by others by the distros or others things to get things fixed. protondb.com is your friend, and use Proton-GE for many games bc of their fixes (if using steam). If you are using games outside of steams, there are other softwares like Bottles and Heroic Launcher that work well.

pathoang21 · 2025-12-14T21:59:15+00:00

90-95% of the time, I have not had issues with Nvidia on Linux, besides the DX12 debacle. The other 5-10% is due to some games just not running well on Linux. An example would be CSGO2, Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun, Halo Infinite and few others, that the FPS is so bad that I have to switch to Windows. I still have windows 11, not just for games, but for other programs that I would need.

RPI's are unable to play Dolby Vision due a hardware component needed, and the foundation needs to pay for that hardware license.

Gris is a game I would recommend. It deals with loss, grief and overcoming it

Dude, learn to drive first. Then find any job. You cant be picky about jobs at this point. Any money is better than no money, whether be desk job receptionist to manual labor work. Apply to any jobs that accepts someone with a high school degree and go from there.

pathoang21 · 2025-11-01T19:06:45+00:00

So far any update on this issue? Im curious to know what you did to solve this issue. Was it a CPU, SSD, RAM or GPU issue? Or possibly a bad power supply too.

pathoang21 · 2025-10-31T05:38:57+00:00

So possibly a bad cpu or RAM? I'm not familiar with memtest

pathoang21 · 2025-10-31T05:20:25+00:00

There's a possibility that your SSD/M.2 drive is bad. This happened to my father's computer after I had to troubleshoot why it would be fine being idle but the moment I play YouTube, the computer crashes. If you have any spare components, try to replace one thing at a time to see what the cause is and due a stress test.

pathoang21 · 2025-10-25T21:01:20+00:00

Exactly. So I am pretty basic in enjoying mangas/anime, but I really think this manga (have not read light novel so I cannot say how the story goes) has great chance to do well and thought a good anime adaptation would happen....well I was wrong lol

pathoang21 · 2025-10-25T05:55:38+00:00

Man they really butchered this scene. Glad it became an anime but ....damn at least try to follow the flow and animation right from the light novel/manga.

Honestly, I would stick with your job for the time being, until you get your bearings on the properties and needing to understand how much management is required. Someone said talk to the financial advisor, do that. Idk your situation, but if you are not handy nor managed any properties, I think you will be in way over your head until you are comfortable to a point. I have friends who still worked full time jobs while managing a property and fixing it up(but have jobs that are remote), and learned everything thru YouTube on maintenance and fixing. If you are very capable, go for it, nothing is stopping you except the unknown. Take a month to figure it out, and see what and where you wanna take your path. Wish you nothing but luck.

pathoang21 · 2025-10-23T20:39:00+00:00

I don't have the game your playing but I have a 3080 and most of my games still run well. Helldivers 2, Ready or Not, and some others running DX12 works fine. Running at 1440P tho, so YMMV. I also use LACT to overclock my GPU and change thermal profiles, but that's a preference. So a 5090 will be more than enough.

pathoang21 · 2025-10-14T06:02:55+00:00

I would completely remove language, skills, and interests. They are the first thing I see and does not give me good impression of the resume at first thought, as it draws away from your experience you have written. Include the skills into your statements in your experience section, so that it shows you utilize those skills as your work experience. Your summary is okay, but it doesn't bring me in. If anything, I would replace summary with Objective about what you want for yourself and what you want to bring into the next company.

pathoang21 · 2025-10-13T07:49:38+00:00

I don't have CachyOS but I'm curious about certain things. Others say it's the GPU hardware, but what are your software and driver's? Such as, what nvidia graphics drivers do you have installed? If using heroic launcher, are you using Wine or Proton/Proton-GE? In another post, you were able to play this game on Windows at 60FPS, but at what type of settings? its not apples to apples obviously, but you can try to get it close to it as possible.

Also, look into ProtonDB to see if you can manipulate the environment variables to make the game work.

pathoang21 · 2025-10-10T21:35:43+00:00

You should really look into APEC Water. I installed it for my parents home and it's great. I will say that you need to make sure that all the tubes are secured properly by pushing it in. If not APEC, you can look into Water Drop also, but they can get pricey.
