Hi have just moved to Linux 2 weeks ago after being fed up with windows 11. I am using fedora workstation and so far I am loving it.

I am running it through steam with Proton Experimental and i get the same through Proton 9.0

After further testing it appears when multitasking ans switching windows which explains why it happens so infrequently

I have never touched Linux/GNU and I installed Linux after the Microsoft recall and when with standard workstation (GNOME) as a dual boot. After the first two weeks reinstalled fedora over top of windows and haven't looked back.

That was 2 months ago and and having no issues even gaming on my machine works great.

Thank you so much I will have to try that on the morning

Really? I have migrated to Fedora Linux and have had 0 issues playing games. Literally just installed steam then heroic launcher for my games on GOG and Epic. I did have a little issue get ea games to load but that was as my as blocker blocked ea games from fetching the librsry. Which in fair EA faorness EA sucks and should be vlocked.

This seems like it might work but I can't seem work out do you have a guide i can look up ?

I have tried r clone and I keep getting the error about the account being locked out and never connects and I get a similar issue with Celeste.

I am using Gnome with a nvidia card

I am using Wayland I will try disabling ste overlay

I have tried that still same issue. Not sure what is going on its the only game that does this. After more testing it only happens when switching from the game to discord or another app.

No I am using gnome boxes
