NVIDIA announce DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, plus DLSS Updater gets Linux support
6 Jan 2026 at 6:40 pm UTC Likes: 5

Quoting: GoEsrCool, but are we ever getting the DLSS override features? 😡 DLSS Updater (like DLSS Swapper) only lets you change the version, not the in-game modes.
We already have dlss override on linux. Take a look at the dxvk nvapi wiki on github. Also some distros like pikaos and cachyos have environment variables that let you update dlss version and change presets. I, myself manually replace game's streamline dlls with the latest streamline sdk version from nvidia github and use environment variables exposed by dxvk nvapi to update dlss preset to the latest and enable multi frame generation.

Quoting: Cley_FayeAh, I guess it is yet again time to update, log into wayland, be disappointed, log back into X11, and hope next month brings undocumented but welcome improvements :D
What problems are you facing on wayland?

NVIDIA Beta driver 580.65.06 released for Linux with bug fixes and expanded Wayland support
4 Aug 2025 at 7:54 pm UTC

I don't understand the bad vkd3d-proton performance everybody is complaining about. There are some dx12 games like kcd2 that perform very similar to or even better than windows, and many dx11 games that perform worse on linux. There doesn't seem to be a divide between dxvk or vkd3d-proton, games generally run worse on linux than windows using nvidia hardware.

NVIDIA 575.51.02 Beta driver brings NVIDIA Smooth Motion support to Linux, GeForce RTX 5060 series announced

Now with smooth motion support, alongside the ability to update DLSS to the latest version inside the driver itself (which dxvk-nvapi takes advantage of in its newest version allowing transformer model, DLSS indicators and MFG on titles that only support 2X FG), NVIDIA driver on Linux has come so close to feature parity with its Windows counterpart. If only we could have DSR and DLDSR, too.
Hopefully gaming performance will also improve with updates.

Lutris game manager v0.5.18 released with improved GOG and itch.io support, various other features
2 Dec 2024 at 7:21 pm UTC

Quoting: CaldathrasInteresting, I was hoping for an update on UMU support. There's no .deb file for Ubuntu/LM users yet.

I'm still on v0.5.16 myself.
I guess that "AppArmor profile" bit is related to umu. Also they say lutris downloads ge-proton automatically which would only work using umu.

GE-Proton 9-13 released bringing in a fix for World of Warcraft
6 Sep 2024 at 4:11 am UTC

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMeanwhile LUTRIS is still with the version 8-26 shown as "stable"
Yes, because that's the latest version of wine ge. This article is about proton ge. You're confusing the two.
As others have said, we should wait for umu proton, or use wine tkg.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard devs talk up their PC features, optimisations and Steam Deck verification
22 Aug 2024 at 3:37 pm UTC

Quoting: melkemindIt mostly looks good, although it's a bit puzzling that it has FSR 2.2 and not 3.1.
Thay are talking about a "heavily modified" FSR 2.2. Hopefully, it will suit the game's graphics better than just dropping the latest available version (FSR 3.1 doesn't look that much better than 2.2, though).

Wine 9.0 has a first Release Candidate released
10 Dec 2023 at 3:58 pm UTC

Would Wine-ge have wayland code after wine 9.0 releases? Is it based on wine or proton?

Proton Experimental fixes The Witcher 3 — plus better steering wheel support

Quoting: ljrkAlso note that you can use

 
--launcher-skip


in Witcher 3 to skip the annoying launcher :-)
Hey, thank you for the tip.
Can I ask where I could find different launch options for games? Do developers release documentation or something?

AOKZOE are the latest to attempt a Steam Deck rival with the AOKZOE A1

“They're a rather new company, so everything they're talking about and showing off should be taken with a rather large pinch of salt.”

“… but actually have a price-point that isn't ridiculous like some other vendors. Considering Valve are ramping up shipments now, how is a brand new vendor going to cope?”

Seeing some fanboy-y journalism here. It might not be able to live up to its promise, but having people who could innovate and provide more choices could be a good thing.
