@volpeon oh, yeah of course I mean V3

Just tell me what you need (I don't think the whole .affinity folder is required?) and I can send it to you somehow :3

@SteffoSpieler It looks like the file should be at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Affinity\3.0\Settings\Application.xml ​​

@volpeon I don't have an affinity folder inside AppData, but I have the same file in this path: "C:\Users\<username>\.affinity\Affinity\3.0\Settings\Application.xml"

@SteffoSpieler This must be it then ​​

Uuuh, this outline doesn't match at all what's rendered? I know from experience that especially the right curve doesn't behave like it should

@volpeon Lol? I hope that's an issue with AffinityOnLinux and not Affinity itself

@SteffoSpieler Guess I won't get around trying it on Windows after all ​​

It's a Wine issue. V2 has the exact same problem

@volpeon @Baa oh but, that does really affect how well the GPU operates ;;

like i get why because the open drivers are much less painful to work with in every way possible.

but they're an entirely reverse engineering based effort, Nvidia does not at all help these people, if anything they've been encrypting their firmware since the GTX 980 so it's exceedingly hard to actually make proper drivers for it.

i don't want to be 'that person' but please don't blame linux for nvidia's shitty actions.

@anthropy @Baa The driver is literally developed by Nvidia? github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

@volpeon that's sad to hear. just out of curiosity, is this WINE or Proton? if not Proton, it might be worth trying it there, as Valve has added many tweaks for these kinda issues.

It's super easy: just 'Add a game' and select the binary of the program you want to run so it shows up in the Steam games list, then rightclick on it, -> properties -> Compatibility -> 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool' to activate Proton. It's just like with some native steam games basically

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip @anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @Baa@mk.absturztau.be the open/closed only relates to the kernel part of the driver, userspace is proprietary. and you can use the legacy (aka closed) on cachyos (which still sometimes works better and the open ones only target rtx20/gtx16 and newer)

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip @Baa@mk.absturztau.be @anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz ok guess you’re on rtx50xx

@volpeon @anthropy @Baa what they said is the case for nouveau however

what gpu do you have? anything older than the 2000 series runs better on nvidia proprietary

@ada @anthropy @Baa Yeah, I know. And I use an RTX A4500

@volpeon
Oh, my bad, I initially misread and thought you were using Nouveau.

..The Nvidia OpenSource driver is also problematic though indeed, the userspace is still proprietary, and idk how far it has come since I initially heard this announced, but back then it was still fairly unstable.

Then again I guess Nvidia in general has been less smooth on Linux than AMD in a lot of ways, but I do get why people buy the hardware, so I'm unsure what to advise there in that case.

@mkljczk
@Baa

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip @ada@ublog.kimapr.net @anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz a Pro model ​​
Might be worth trying the driver from their website if Catchy aren't packaging the proprietary driver https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/257493/

No expert in this realm though, good luck ​​

@Baa @anthropy @ada It's weird because CachyOS ships nvidia, nvidia-open and nouveau, but its hardware detection tool only lists nvidia-open for my GPU. I could install the packages manually, but honestly, I saw enough about how Affinity runs on Linux independent from the GPU that it doesn't seem to be worth investing any more effort

@anthropy It's Wine with patches specifically designed to make Affinity work: github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux
So I would assume that if there was a more simple solution, the community would've taken it. ​​
