Update: I installed CS:GO and it runs insanely smooth. Metro didnt start at all. I now have cycled through many compatibility options and tried proton experimental, latest and now linux runtime. Now it works on solid 60 fps!

Hi folks! I made it! I built a daily driver with Linux!

But I'm running into the first walls, which was expected but is still annoying.

So I bought a 3060ti which I got for a reasonable price and tried playing metro last light redux. Sub 10 fps. I'm pretty baffled atm. Have checked (and for sure, reddit was the first answer) but so far no dice. I changed from open source to proprietary driver, no changes either.

Is there a troubleshooting guide or something? Can I even guarantee my card runs on full capacity without windows? (sorry, I'm not used to linux desktop).

Thanks for reading! Have a good one!

Which proton are you using if you're using it? A current one may be breaking it? Also, are you on Wayland or X11?

So, I'm very new to this Linux Desktop experience. I have a Linux server that runs cli only so I'm very much not used to the desktop version.

I tried many proton versions and they all seemed to not work. The only thing that did work (and exceptionally well too) is the steam linux runtime (last option in steam compatibility).

I had to google to find out what wayland and X11 are. My terminal tells me I'm running X11.
