I guess getting rid of Windows won't be so easy after all.

@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

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

@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.

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

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

@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
@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.
