From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wasted 2h trying to figure out why GTA V only run at 35fps and use 25w of power, turn out my dumb ass set power profiles daemon to powersaving mode and forgot about it. (lemmy.ml)

I just got this laptop (Asus TUF A15 2021) today and it surprised me that everything works just fine out of the box on Vanilla Arch, except NVIDIA gpu I had to install it manually on battery power that's why I enable powersaving mode. As for games performance it's basically the same as windows no more no less.

I had recently same issue, but with a different game. Out of nowhere the performance was bad. And it took me even a day to resolve this. My PC does not need power profiles actually, its not a laptop at all. Not sure why or how the profile changed, but it got me from say 100 fps to stutter-fest 17 or something like that. I think that there was a key combination in KDE I hit by accident maybe.
