    This is why you don't duel boot. If Windows can't play nice with others it doesn't get to exist at all. Proton+Steam means there is never a reason to run windows at all. "But I need some non-game windows applications." K. Proton is able to reliably run games in a library of tens of thousands of games with all kinds of bad programming and obscure hardware use. It's a standard for being able to run windows apps in linux that is going to cover any other application you have.

    I have really been struggling to get proton to work in OpenSUSE, despite ProtonDB having only positive experience with the games I've attenpted. Running Tumbleweed X11 KDE with an 30 series Nvidia GPU. And in trying to fix them I seem to have broken my display drivers altogether. Plenty of system restarts, but all this happened without going into windows for a month. And that's why I dual boot ๐Ÿ˜ข

    I haven't run tumbleweed in a while, but I did have a similar issue on arch with X11 kde.

    In the Nvidia settings, ensure that both Force Composition Pipeline and Force Full Composition Pipeline are disabled (unchecked) otherwise some games launched from steam using proton 8 or newer freezes on focus.

    Obviously you'd have to fix your display drivers first. Maybe a reinstall is the quickest solution there.

    Yeah, trying a Snapper restore since I'm out of things I know to look at, but that appears to be the next step. Thanks for the info on the Nvidia settings, is that in some config file?

    [โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

    You could save it to a config file and then load that before starting X
