I purchased a system76 Thelio Mira Elite With a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. I kinda regret not going with Nvidia at this point but it is what it is. I primarily use it as a developer workstation, but want to play games on it as well so I can be rid of my windows box.

I didn’t expect it to be able to play the latest and greatest games but I did expect it to be able to play older titles reasonably well. Games launch from steam and seem to work, but I’m getting between 0 and 10 fps on the title screen of Kerbal Space Program. Other games are similarly functional but poorly performing.

Where do I start? How can I ensure my GPU is being leveraged? Is this as good as it gets?

    Yeah I’ve tried several Steam Play options. I get different behavior from crashing to some wonky rendering of the windows behind it, but none work

        What do you mean? There are the following:

        Proton experimental Steam Linux runtime 1.0 Legacy runtime 1.0 Proton hotfix Proton 9.0-4 …

        If you mean just the global checkbox, yes that’s on

          Yes, the option that says “Steam Play”.
