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 would reinstall the rpm fusion ones and remove the ones from the official site, also check if maybe there is a flatpak update for steam if you have it. Also blacklist your nouveau driver in the grep config file, it could be that its using that.

If you want to check if its working use glx-gears with the info flag and set the opengl to the nvidia card. It could be that it doesnt work, its been a long time since my driver broke.
