First here's my build:

32gb DDR4 ram (2x16)

R7 5700x

RX 9070

Fedora Linux 44 KDE Plasma version 6.6.4

1440p 180hz with HDR main monitor; 1080p 60hz secondary.

I'm brand new to Linux and Fedora. (basically windows 11 broke and I couldn't reinstall it.) I initially tried Nobara but Fedora seems to fit my purposes better. I've tried looking around but I'm not finding much that isn't about Nvidea or anything recent.

However, I cannot turn on any ray tracing in most of my games both in steam and non-steam games (using PortProton) Is there any way I can fix this?

I found a possible lead with AMDVLK but I only see support for Ubuntu and Redhat; not Fedora. Would this hurt to try?

Maybe this is related, maybe it isn't but its notable. I also noticed that my game performance isn't as good as it was on Windows 11. I used to run most of my high-requirement games at max (like Space Marine 2) settings and well above 70FPS without FSR framegen. (I used to run Doom the Dark Ages on ultra without framegen at around 90 and now I'm on high at 50fps).

The games are playable which is what I care about, but I hear how linux competes with and sometimes beats windows 11 in game performance. Yet I see a significant drop despite my hardware. Are these things related?

Hi all,

So I've been forced to move off of Windows 11, I chose Nobara and survived the initial learning curve (more like a learning wall).

This is the last thing I want to iron out before everything feels perfect.

For some reason when I start the computer the mouse and internet (wi-fi and hard-wired don't matter) take about an extra 30 seconds before responding. I'm using a pci-e card for wi-fi, and my mouse is wired USB (specifically logitech g203). Waiting isn't too big of a deal but its a little annoying when everything else feels instant.

My keyboard, also logitech works fine, so does my other USB devices as far as I know.

Google has been my friend, but I can't seem to find anything related to this on my end.

Thank you!

Hi,

So I recently transitioned to Nobara after my windows 11 got screwed up. I already gave Bazzite a shot on a living room PC, so I figuredNobara is a good do-all OS for my main PC. And so far I like that I haven't had to go into terminal for every little thing. That said I've been diagnosing issues one-by-one.

I've looked into it and I see the difference in how windows and linux treat drives. That said, it doesn't help me right now.

Steam found my other drives perfectly fine. No issues there. I can play all the games there.

However, I also used Epic Games store for some exclusives and the free games, along with all the other annoying launchers.

Because of upgrades over time I have 4 extra drives of varying quality. I don't have one drive dedicated to one launcher. If I have a new game I'll put it on an SSD, if I have an older game I'll put it on an HDD, and so on.

Heroic worked at first, but my cloud-saves aren't syncing. So I have to start from scratch with many of my games. Lutris looked promising, but the launchers crash when I try to direct them to my game folders. (it can't handle opening run/media/user/drivename) The settings in Lutris and Heroic only allow one destination path/folder.

I just want to play my games and maintain my cloud saves. What am I supposed to do and what are my options?
