Hi everyone. I recently buyed the NBA 2k26 and a new DLC for Cities Skylines. The problem is after just a few minutes on nba and in the loading screen of Cities Skylines the eGPU drops to 0% of usage, weird artifacts appears on one of the monitors (always the one with steam).

I've been testing my Pangolin + eGPU 5060ti combo for almost a month, trying to make it fully stable so I could document it here on reddit, and it's been working really well, until yesterday when this problem started. I haven't tried any other games since. If anyone of you guys have a good idea of what's going on I would love to hear it.

I'm using pop_os 22.04 and nvidia drivers 590 series.

The Verge has a solid write-up on how age-verification laws are creating an unexpected problem for the Linux and open-source ecosystem.

Bills like California's AB 1043 and Colorado's SB26-051 were written with commercial app stores and operating systems in mind, but their broad language could rope in open-source projects that were never built to collect user data, lack the resources to implement compliance measures, and could see any age-gating code forked out anyway.

Carl Richell of System76/Pop!_OS also weighs in on why this matters beyond just compliance: "Many of these bills are written without a deep understanding of how open-source software is developed and distributed. When developers and users engage early and explain the mechanics, it helps policymakers see where broad requirements could create unintended consequences."

Worth a read, especially with similar legislation moving in Illinois and New York.
