CS2 bad experience (frames and refreshrate)
I'm having some issues on CS2. Game starts and runs, but if I have my second monitor enabled, i dont feel the frames im getting. FPS counter says 200-400 but it feels like 50. Also when disabling 2nd monitor i get more stable 300-400 frames and it feels smooth. Anyone know anything ab it? Is it just related to having Nvidia GPU?

ohhh wait
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
have u experienced something like this? d11?
harsh-harlequin•4mo ago
I’m a very silly fella and did not read the game title properly
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
No worries man
Could this be directx11 problem?
someone mentioned that in another discord

in my experience cs2 has always been a bit clunky through emulation (granted I haven’t tried It on linux, I do all the macOS stuff here LOL), but generally it’s like
really inconsistent user to user
I’ve had people get stellar performance and others get the most insufferable experience even with hardware and conditions equal
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
I'm running it native
its linux supported now so no emulation
I mean I probably am

Dx11 is not x11
You wouldn’t be using DX anything except for DXVK to translate from DX to Vulkan
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
Oh my bad
vicious-gold•4mo ago
And that’s not applicable here with native ports
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
Yeah one is 240hz and one 60hz :&

Nvidia strikes again
You need Wayland
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
How is Wayland on Mint?
vicious-gold•4mo ago
Probably not great given Mint’s penchant for being backdated
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
Maaan
I dont wanna switch distros again
i've gotten everything set up pretty good
i'd rather buy another 240hz monitor
that will fix my issue wouldnt it
vicious-gold•4mo ago
Mint isn’t great for gaming given the backdated nature of packages. I hate how /r/linux_gaming still has it at the top of the list

I installed gnome in mint on my laptop
i probably have to do it on myu desktop too then
What's the cleanest between gnome and KDE plasma?
I NEED a clean desktop relatively easy to use. Thats partly why I wanted to use Linux in the first place
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago

other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
My current desktop for reference
vicious-gold•4mo ago
Either can be clean. Gnome kinda forces the issue by not having desktop icons by default
other-emeraldOP•4mo ago
docks = workspaces?
as long as customizing a close similar desktop works in kde plasma I'll consider it
on Mint I had a tray with open applications where I could right click for example Vesktop and get extra buttons like "Fix Vesktop"
but now I dont have a tray and Vesktop is acting up
