So I found the issue in case anyone comes across this. I had to switch to x11 gnome instead of wayland on the login screen in fedora 38. After that Diablo runs like butter!

Ahh thanks this looks promising. The only thing that I don’t get from that article is where they talk about the nvidia gui settings. I’m not seeing that. Is that the same as the nvidia xserver application?

I was wonder if anyone else is experiencing poor performance on Diablo 4 similar to mine. I’m new to Linux gaming, so pardon my ignorance.

Im running an nvidia 3090 on fedora 38. I have two monitors in my setup, which I suspect could be causing me some problems with gaming. I tried tried Lutris and stream but had similar results. They both seem to be capped at 60fps regardless of vsync being disabled. Also there is a horizontal glitchy/tearing bar about 1/3 of the way down across the screen when playing. I hover around 150fps in windows, but can barely maintain 60 on Linux with consistent frame drops. For me it’s pretty unplayable. Just looking for some advice on things I could try to improve the situation, as I’m loving Linux otherwise.

*solved. In case anyone has the same issue with fedora 38. There is a setting on the sign in screen for fedora where you can choose to load gnome desktop with x11 instead of the default GNOME with wayland. Changing to x11 solved the issue and now I’m getting upwards of 120fps and the game runs smooth as butter!

Great for the fediverse! I suspect that these changes to twitter and reddit are mainly a response to the growing hunger of generative artificial intelligence companies who are hoovering up data, basically for free. Change is never easy, but i'm optimistic that this is the break open source and federated communities needed to start taking off. I hope people can see the value in decentralizing and help support these open source projects financially so that they can really start to scale. The reality is, scaling is expensive, and we all need to help where we can. These Ai companies will not hesitate to suck up federated data also. If we want to live in an ad free world its gonna cost us.

I'm on iOS and i found that making a bookmark for the website on my homescreen works pretty much just the same as a native app. Love it.

Can someone explain what this means? I’m new to Linux gaming. Don’t really get what the difference is between wayland and x11. Will this improve performance in d4 on distros like fedora?

YouTube has a lot of good channels that cover daily military activity in Ukraine.
