I’m trying to get Zelda TOTK running decently on Ryubing/Ryujinx on Arch Linux.

System:

• Arch Linux / Wayland
• Ryubing Flatpak 1.3.3
• CPU: i5-13420H
• GPU: RTX 4060 Laptop, Vulkan detected
• RAM: 16 GB
• Firmware: 22.5.0
• Game: TOTK base NSP
• Updates tested: 1.2.0 and 1.4.3

Settings tested:

• Vulkan
• NVIDIA GPU selected
• 1x/native resolution
• AA off
• FSR scaling
• Shader cache ON
• Macro HLE ON
• Docked mode OFF
• VSync OFF
• HostMappedUnsafe

Problems:

• On 1.2.0 vanilla, the game boots but FPS is low, around 16 FPS.
• Logs often say: GPU processing thread is too slow, waiting on CPU...
• On 1.2.0 with TOTK Optimizer, the optimizer mod crashes early with invalid memory access.
• On 1.4.3 vanilla, FPS dropped to around 7 FPS and Ryubing crashed with: PrepoService command ID: 10107 is not implemented
• On 1.4.3 with NX Optimizer / TOTK 3.0.0 profile, it also crashed early, likely due to version/mod mismatch.

I’m not trying to get 4K/120 FPS. I just want stable 30 FPS if possible.

Questions:

1. Which TOTK update is best for Ryubing Linux right now: 1.2.0, 1.4.2, or 1.4.3?
2. Should I avoid 1.4.3 on Ryubing because of the PrepoService crash?
3. Should I use NX Optimizer at all, and if yes, which profile/version?
4. Are there better settings for an RTX 4060 laptop on Arch/Wayland?
5. Should I use Flatpak, AppImage, or Canary instead?

Any help for a stable 30 FPS setup would be appreciated.
