Just installed and I have a couple of issue (Installing .rpm package and window flickering)
Greetings. I have some experience with Linux, but it has always been with Debian-based distros. This is my first time using a Fedora-based distro. Everything has been working well so far, other than two problems.
One; I use Windscribe VPN. They offer an rpm package for installation, but I can't for the life of me get the rpm package to install.
I tried to open it with Discover and I get this error; "Could not open file:///home/user/Downloads/windscribe_2.9.9_x86_64.rpm".
I tried to install via terminal with this command; "sudo dnf install ./windscribe_2.9.9_x86_64.rpm", and it appeared to work. The application icon appears in the Application Launcher, but when I click on it, I get an error reading "Could not find the program '/opt/windscribe/Windscribe' ".
I have tried googling around for help, but have found nothing particularly useful.
Two; I am experiencing a lot of flickering and visual artifacts with various windows. Steam has a lot of issues with various window elements or the whole window flickering, especially but not exclusively whenever I am resizing the window. Discord has the same problem, and even while typing this I am experiencing major input lag, which has made it a bit of a challenge. I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
I have a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU, RTX 4070 GPU. I am using bazzite-nvidia:stable and I have installed all updates available through the system update application.
