I had a 3070 and now I upgraded to a 4070 ti super and havent had issues with either. Maybe I got lucky but I never understood all the negative views on nvidia and Linux.

Lmk if it doesn’t work. I can try and give you some other tips that might work

I stumbled on a reddit post that suggested the same thing and it did work for me. Thanks for the help!

I edited my post with the fix. Thanks for the help

I edited my post with the solution. There was a setting I had to enable globally and per game to enable dlss. Thanks for the help

I have an RTX 4070 ti super and it works great. But I use proprietary drivers.

That’s reassuring. But based off the mixed answers, I’ll just do a clean install to reduce headache.

I’ll just do a clean install and re do it lol.

Thanks for the info. I’ll make sure to double check all that before. I have another question. If I edited fstab to add mounting hard drives on boot. Will I have to redo that when I hook my drive up to a new mobo? Or will the drive UUIDs and mount paths be the same?

Others say that I can drop my is drive into a new PC. I’ll back it up and try that, if not I’ll just do a fresh install.

Yes. I’ve made posts about my problems before. But I use an E drum kit to trigger vsts in a daw. It’s just easier for me to use windows.

I recently made the switch to linux as well and I have it on my laptop and gaming PC. I do keep a portable install of windows on an external drive for more niche cases, such as music production which I had terrible luck with on Linux. When I booted up my laptop with the windows drive, I noticed that my keyboard backlight wasn’t working. And it took me a second to realize that Windows doesn’t come with basic drivers… In Linux mint, my keyboard backlight worked right away. I also wish I made the jump to Linux much earlier.

Thanks for the info.

Oh I see. That is pretty cool. Can you launch that with steam in the desktop version?

Isn’t gamescope more used with handhelds?

Oh I see, that is pretty handy. It was kinda annoying and unintuitive to get mangohud running.

That’s kinda what I was figuring. I’ve been using mint for several months now and I really like it and I’ve gotten it all adjusted to my preferences. I’ve checked out pop os, but I’m not a fan of the OS layout. It reminds me of android lol.

Is there really much of a difference in game performance between “game focused” distros and other ones like mint?

Thank you! Vosk seems to work so far. I was able to use the spirit box item and it showed it was reading my input.

Oh OK, I didn’t realize thats how it worked. And tbh I haven’t tested the proximity chat because I just assumed it didn’t work. I’ll test it next time. Thanks for the reply.
