Around 6-8 months ago or so, give it take, I switched from windows to POP os. However I switched back rather quickly as I was unable to get RTX features to work like Ray tracing and DLSS. I was watching a video from some ordinary gamers and he mentioned he got all but frame generation working on his Linux machine.

My main question is this: how easy is it to get RTX features working on Linux these days? Was I just doing something wrong before? Was I using the wrong distro for that? I really wanna switch back to Linux but I paid good money for my GPU and want to be able to use it to it’s full extent.

    I play mainly Witcher 3, and DLSS worked (gets turned on, at least) since long ago (a minimum tinkering with environment variables is needed to force Proton into working with Nvidia). RTX I kept switched off as it gave me weird lightning artifacts, but recently I tried to turn it on with the latest Proton Hotfix and 535.129.03 drivers, and wow! it works and looks pretty good. Still caught an artifact or two in some places, but it might be a game’s own glitch.
