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!

nvidia-smi gives info about gpu usage and drivers in use.

Damn! You're right. Thanks a lot. I completely forgot about smi.

This is the output:

I ran CS:GO in 150 to 200 FPS so it seems all right.
