nvidia-all VS linux

- rollback the driver using github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all and get rev530.41.03-250.

The TKG DKMS package already has an open issue, and it seems like there's a patch for it. Looks like you'll need to manually patch it, though.

Have a look at nvidia-all

Stay with Endeavour. Install the DKMS Nvidia drivers from https://github.com/frogging-family/nvidia-all

git clone https://github.com/frogging-family/nvidia-all cd nvidia-all makepkg -si

If the installer detects no nvidia GPU then it wont install the driver, but you could just reinstall the system and keep your /home directory (your games and stuff) or you install the driver beforehand via nvidia-all aio installer and follow nvidia do's and don'ts from the archwiki. But be warned gamemode is laggy with nvidia (desktop big picture is fine), because valve hasn't enabled video acceleration for nvidia in gamemode yet.

Or you could just clone https://github.com/frogging-family/nvidia-all and run makepkg -si from the directory. Choose your wanted driver branch and choose non-open and WITH dkms when prompted. That will allow you to also use custom kernels (DKMS I mean)

But mainly I use Frogging Family's github for my kernels and Nvidia drivers. https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all Couple commands, a reboot and I'm up for gaming again. Mainly I use this github for more up to date drivers. And you can test the opensource part or vulkan drivers. Vulkan and the normal DKMS driver works fine for me.

Interesting! I've used Linux Mint for the last 5+ years (and am using the Xanmod kernel, which is on 6.6), but have always been Pop OS curious. This increases my curiosity, I may have to give it a go on my laptop.

For those on Linux mint you can install the xanmod kernel for improved performance, specifically tailored for gaming on Debian based distros.

Generally, Arch is the better platform for getting various kernel versions, but there's always stuff like Xanmod which is easy to do in any distro. Worst case, could always use linux-tkg script to build your own kernel - with that kind of hardware it shouldn't take long for the kernel to be built.

Still a bit of a noob. I haven't heard of that one. Do you mean this: https://xanmod.org/? Is there any stability or compatibility issues that come with it?

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Xanmod Kernel

There are different drivers available but the best way is to install linux kernel 6.3 which has built in support for rtl wifi. I also have similar adapter and had the problem. I recommend xanmod kernel because it is newer and has the needed driver and it is focussed on desktop performance.

For Debian : https://xanmod.org

Alternatively, try the xanmod kernel https://xanmod.org/
