the only reason I use computer is games and a bit of documents editing but I lose half of my fps when I played on Linux which is a big deal when all I have is a potato laptop

You might be using the wrong driver or something. Usually Linux has at least comparable framerates to Windows, if not faster.

No it's not, I have low end Ryzen apu I used both AMD pro and amdgpu driver and I still lose 40-60% of the performance

Don't manually install any drivers, the ones in the kernel by default are ideal. Maybe a power related setting like cpu governor. Newer dxvk versions don't have the shader compilation lag that previously existed either

I used Endeavors OS out of the box driver and manually install driver, this is my post relating to this issue https://lemmy.ca/post/15927798

FWIW I had to install newer drivers from a PPA because the latest stable Mint didn’t support my RX 7900 XT.

Shouldn't be a problem anymore, was only an issue with firmware when the card was super new

This was literally last week

What version of mint? Why are they so incredibly behind? Hasn't been an issue on other distros for like a year

Mints default channel is based on Ubuntu LTS

So is my distro pop os 22.04, no issues

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Pop!_os ships with specific kernel tweaks to make it play nicer with GPUs

In this case looks like they just go to the basic effort of updating the linux-firmware package

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago

Applause to them, even if that's all they're doing. For personal computing you can basically always count on Pop!_os to work no matter your hardware configuration (within reason, 32-bit machines aren't really something you need to consider anymore)

The latest LTS, currently 21.3

What distro were you using? This sounds like a possible Wayland issue

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

It's Endeavour OS

CS2 beg to differ.
