For wayland
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
add on line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX = "nvidia-drm.modeset=1 amd_pstate=active"
if you have an amd cpu also add amd_pstate=active
Then rebuild Grub config sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

    I built a "how-to" using Debian (Linux Mint, etc). It works perfectly, but it does take a while to install the microsoft libraries, visual basic, etc. I got the same game to work in Fedora a while back but wanted to test it now to see what, if anything, changed. Fedora seems to install .wine on the fly, as needed, so that's a really cool plus. I really want to use Fedora for a while and this process checks a really big box for me. Just finished the game install, and i do believe it's even smoother with Fedora than LMDE (no offense LMDE lol). I could be wrong, but i've played Ghost Recon Wildlands enough to know what the hiccups are, however small, and so far, i don't see them in Fedora.

    Edit: Gaming on Fedora and possibly even Debian has become so much easier to set up. When you install Lutris, it automagically starts downloading libraries and dependencies. You can even copy your current game data without installing it agagin, although sometimes that doesn't always work. I use Fedora nowadays and it's so much easier than it used to be.

    This is amazing. I’ve never thought of Fedora as a gaming distro. Gave this a shot and runs way smoother than POP!, and even Linux mint… both felt clunky on my laptop… this just works. I ran into a snag where I had to disable secure boot after installing the cachy kernel. After I ran an update on cachy, it got what it needed for the signature and everything is back smooth.

    nice video mate, i switched to nobara linux at the start of december so far has been good but i notice a little impac on performance and for some reason games that run on vulkan freeze after X amount of playtime, i guess is a problem with the nvidia drivers would it be more efficient to install fedora and do these changes or should i just keep nobara?

    Possibly driver related? Does this just affect the Steam app itself or games running through Steam as well?

    Try switching the Desktop Environment off Wayland to Xorg. Works for me with an nvidia card and it’s the only thing that works with recent drivers. There will be an option to do this on login screen.
