Tweaking Gaming Performance on Manjaro for i7-powered Laptops - Seeking Optimization Tips

Alright, alright. Enough of the banter. Why don’t we focus on what the OP actually asked about…

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Which generation? There are 13 of them so far. We have no idea what GPU you have. Integrated? Hybrid? NVIDIA? AMD?

Please post your system info as outlined here:

There’s no such thing as “the best kernel”. Install both the latest stable and LTS kernel and use whichever has the best support for your hardware. Boot one and keep the other for backup so you have something to boot into in case one won’t boot.

You already have the proper drivers installed out of the box. All you have to do is stay up to date. See Announcements posts for info about recent updates.

See ProtonDB.

This is a support forum, not a social network. You’re welcome to post on our unofficial subreddit if you’d like for general discussion. There’s also a GNU/Linux gaming subreddit.

P.S. Every question you have is already answered somewhere on the internet. Seek and ye shall find. :wink:
