For some reason, i never have seen this blue ring and i have build some pumps. But i will try it on a test pipeline, which will go straight upwards.

Since currently I'm only playing Satisfactory, and I have downloaded the shader's, it should not come back the next day? Or is that wrong?
I mean, it's not the download which annoy me, its the time before I can start the game. It takes ages to download this 170MB from steam server's. Normally 170MB is transferred really fast for other things, but the update takes 5 minutes and longer from steam server's.
Yes. Arch Linux, but on a laptop. Nice combination. I thought the pre-caching is displayed as a separate dialog for Vulkan, which I can interrupt, if I want.
But I have every day a message directly right nearby the play button which reads something about "Download Update..." and the play button is grayed out.
According to the linked wiki, try to go to https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html.
Check on your laptop with dmesg | grep -i chipset
the codename of your graphic card. With this you can check which driver is the best on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA. There is a paragraph, explaining which driver is the best.
If I understand it right, the nvidia package is the correct one for 1050. So you can use pacman -S nvidia
with root privileges. All dependencies should be resolved automatically.
I would recommend to reboot, in case there are changed kernel modules.
2 things i have to note: Using Wayland is a total mess with nvidia. Specially on Arch Linux. I have screen flickering in GUI and games, the performance is so lala and tools like KeePass which needs access to the text in window titles did not work complete. On Manjaro, the flickering doesn't exist, but the other symptoms do. Maybe im missing some packages on Arch.
Second with Vulkan i have some tearing in games. I have not looked further in to that.
On the other hand, games like Satisfactory or Elder Scrolls Online, have more FPS with the same settings as on Windows.
Currently i test Arch and Manjaro in parallel on the same Laptop. But I tend to keep Manjaro and remove Arch. There are light pro's and con's, but overall, I'm more happy with Manjaro. But this has nothing to do with you're issue.
I have a 1050 in my Laptop and it works fine with the nvidia
package AS proprietary driver
I got it to work...
I have used the command grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=esp --bootloader-id="Arch Linux"
before, but without success. This didn't worked before. But now...
I have no idea, whats changed. Anyhow. Im happy.

Yes. Because some games work only with proper privileges. This can get complicated on NTFS.
Keep a minimum of 30GB free, for Windows update processes on the windows system partition. I don't how much the windows installation counts in space, but add that to the 30gb free space. I would recommend to have a extra partition for the games on NTFS and move your steam, epic, ubisoft, whatever library to that partition.
I have tried to use the same gaming partition between Linux and Windows, but failed every time. In the worst case this can alter your Windows privileges. At least I had this issue.
Currently I'm using Windows only for 2 games: Space Engineers and Empyrion. The rest works with better performance on Linux. Satisfactory, Ark survival, Elder Scrolls Online have more FPS on Linux with the same settings. I have to use a nvidia 1050 Ti in my laptop. With a AMD GPU the situation is a lot better on Linux.
I'm not a hardcore gamer, mostly im coding here and there. But sometimes gaming is a must have.
OK, many thx for the tips. Since my script in the service file is already doing some logging, i will try to use the last log entry, to find out, when it was last time running and exit the script, if it is not in the timeframe of 1 week.
Many thx for your suggestions.
In this case, shouldn't the output per pipeline be 33% rather than 50%? After all, there are 3 outputs. Or is 50% on the "middle" pipeline and 50% on the two new ones together?
