Thanks for clarifying. Missed that.

You need to run these commands on the machine having the problem. Giving output from another machine doesn’t help solve anything.

If you’re getting dead output on your 5070, it means the driver is more than likely NOT loaded, so the output will be different.

Boot the 5070, and when you get a black screen, hit ALT+F2 to drop to a console shell. Login, and run ‘nvidia-smi’, and you should get something that confirms it’s loaded, or something that says it is not loaded.

If it’s not loaded, it means you haven’t installed the drivers (you sure you did?). Check your packages, make sure the driver is properly installed, then do this to blacklist the nouveau driver which may be in conflict.

Reboot. See if it works.

Well the driver is loaded, and you have processes engaged with it, so it’s functional.

If you’re losing output, maybe you have a conflict with the nouveau driver. Have you blacklisted it?

Run ‘nvidia-smi’ and post the output

You sure your PSU can handle that card? Sounds like you may not have enough wattage.

Many. Probably 6.14+, but the forums are filled with complaints, so check those. Quadro cards aren’t really meant for gaming, so it’s not unexpected.

Install Flatseal and give Steam every permission that it gives you the option, then try again.

Would also be good for you to try games from other sources and see if they work.

Are you running the Flatpak version of Steam?

Nvidia lags on the Quadro drivers, and I believe latest drivers have issues with newer kernels.

I bet your graphics drivers aren’t even working. Run nvidia-smi and post the output.

Probably not in the way you’re imagining, and definitely not in a way that is just as easy to access as any other site.

Have a look at https://letsdecentralize.org/

Just use whatever works. Stop worrying about what others are doing and trying to be cool with the in-crowd.

If you’re saying everything works fine with local files, but just not remote ones, then it’s a mime types problem.

If not, there’s another angle to attack.

I build with MSI stuff all the time. If you’re concerned about BIOS utilities, all of their boards update directly from withing the BIOS utilities AFAIK. Haven’t come across a board in years that doesn’t.

Even if you do, it’s quite easy to build a Live Windows USB disk to run utilities that doesn’t require a license. That shouldn’t be a barrier to entry for you for anything if you’re looking to run Linux.

MSI is one of the most compatible you’ll find. They make server components as well.

Kind of a dead site.

This is the defacto stance of advertising agencies doing horrible things.

“OOHHHH, You mean you DIDN’T want ads on your coffee maker or vibrator??? Our bad. This was a technical error we will fix immediately!”

I think you mean LiveUSB, but it depends on the game. If it’s a large game, it’s going to install and run from USB, so it’s not going to perform well. Small games that fit in memory will be fine.

If you want to specifically take steps to make this work better, get an external SSD and turn the Live Image that way. It’s still not going to perform well with large games, but multitudes better than from USB.

Unless you have a specific game to try, you’d get better info from ProtonDB, or comments online to find out what the general feeling about performance is going to be.

Well it’s a templatized thing, not exactly code. If it does what you need it to do, then just feel okay using it.

Fair warning though: it will break. Lock your package versions, and don’t be surprised when an interface changes and you need to rework it.

I can’t wait for all these fuckwits to get what’s coming to them.

If it works for you, it works for you. I’m confused on what sort of feedback you may be wanting?
