Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

      I know you’re getting downvotes and rude responses, but you’re correct. As a NVIDIA and AMD GPU Linux user , I watched this transition happen. My Wayland desktop is incredible.

      Unfortunately Wayland breaks Inkscape and GIMP and even caused Firefox to be unstable for me.

      So like

      Thanks but no thanks?

      Maybe in 5 years. Let it stay in the oven for a bit longer.

      Nice non answer. Wayland draws giant black boxes on my rocket league half the time so that won’t work.

        I really don’t care about the votes, but that’s a you issue. What a rude response.

        Rocket League

        Never seen that once on either NVIDIA or AMD graphics. I’ve been hopping between Wayland and X11 for years.

        Are you running a “stable” distro? Cause I see this a lot here. You can’t always expect NEW and VERY BLEEDING EDGE tech (gaming on Linux) to work reliably on a distro that will take a year to include the latest packages.

        Boot into something like CachyOS. I doubt a distro like that with modern packages will have the same issue.

          As a matter of fact, I switched out of Ubunth which had this and other issues, no black boxes on Fedora.
