I just checked and realised I’m on 6.16 as well. I don’t think the xanmod kernel will solve your problem, it could be worth a try though, if you are desperate.

I have/had the same problem in cs2 (native; so no proton involved) and AMD RX5600XT.

My performance degradation is seemingly fixed for now after my last system update (and switch to latest xanmod kernel (which is at 6.12 I think))

I have an 5600xt and i used to have crashes quite regularly. Disabling hardware accel in firefox helped. Now i only have crashes when playing games from heroic.

Unfortnately all those crashes turned some friends away from linux

You are supposed to use --mangoapp instead of mangohud see gamescope --help

When it was on sale recently I didn’t buy it. Instead I removed all Sony games from my wishlist, knowing they would require PSN even for single player games.

Nushell is pretty nice.

For Rocket league you need to manually enable proton under properties.

Its running without problems for me now

Often even when its on sale i have already lost interest.

Quality can only increase. If people have to think twice about buying games and don’t preorder every half- finished game

AFAIK steam has optional drm. If the devs dont use it you can play the games without steam. I think it says on the store page if it’s drm-free

Nothing is gonna change. Consumers gonna consume

People will preorder the next cash grab and whoever cares about quality games will just have to wait. Although i have to admit that it will be pretty much impossible to match the love and care larian poures into their games.
