This is my first post on these forms, please be nice! lol
I have an issue with MX Linux 23.1 with my current build - certain titles via Steam are experiencing low FPS, about half compared to Windows. 2nd issue is I cannot seem to open Battle.net via Bottles. Again, previous build, no issue.
I've tried various NVIDIA drivers and Kernel versions, as well as different versions of Proton but nothing seemed to improve the issue.
I am wondering if there is some sort of compatibility issue with my hardware? I am using a MSI Mag B660m Mortar Max motherboard with an Intel i5 12400f overclocked to 5 ghz. Kinda a unique board in that it allows you to overclock
non-K processors. In order to do so, apparently it uses an older Intel firmware that Intel didn't lock down. Thinking it might have been the older firmware, I reverted it back to stock but the same issue occurred.
Am I allowed to use the W word in these parts? lol. On Windows, no issue, same games having issue on Linux, run much better on M$ Winblows. Which makes me sad =(, I'd really prefer to format my Windows partition. I've done some searching, and I can't seem to find anyone else with this specific hardware and these specific issues.
Tempted to put in my old Ryzen and B550 MB. Please the attached Quick System Info:
Thank you again.
