Did not realize there was a separate thread for the FPS stuttering. See below for the post I made on #2891 (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2891#issuecomment-1000976337) > Installed Arch Linux with KDE Plasma but...

@romanstingler I learned that the cache is really at ~/.cache/nvidia/GLCache (mainly for awareness for others who may be looking in ~/.nv/ to no avail). After purging the cache and trying...
