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.

Few days ago I did the weekly system update which included latest NVIDIA drivers. Everything went smoothly, no error messages, systems works as usual. Today I wanted to play some game and I noticed that the performance was horrible. This is what I found

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0aff
        Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0aff
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

 
xrandr --listproviders            
Providers: number : 0

I've tried to reinstall drivers, and ran some fixes I found online but still no luck. Any ideas how to fix it?

update

Just remembered. After last drivers update I wasn't able to run any Steam game. I always got some directx error. Before I had no issues.

update 2

I'm on Fedora 40, currently I'm using drivers downloaded directly from NVIDIA website. Before that I was using whatever drivers from these repositories

The only thing I remember related to messing with drivers was playing with podman containers accessing my gpu (nvidia-container-toolkit).

Currently I'm using driver version 550.107.02

I am also experiencing this issue on Fedora 40 with the Negativo drivers, and I believe this is a flatpak issue. Here is a GitHub issue detailing the problem. Allegedly it has been fixed, but I have updated to the latest commit and am still having the same issue, so I am unsure what to do (I've spent a number of hours trying to troubleshoot this). You might have luck just running a flatpak update, as that is supposed to solve this issue (YMMV though, it didn't fix it for me).
