  • ARC Raiders | Launch Trailer

    Jump

  • What reviews? People seem almost universally hyped on this one. There was a preview that IGN did during the beta that was pretty maligned because of how little the author seemed to understand the game.

    I played the server slam and it was really well polished and put together.

  • GE-Proton10-14 Released

    Jump

  • Thanks! I appreciate the update, will have to give it a try myself after work.

    So I am enabling HDR and Wayland (because I need it for HDR). Out of curiosity what are your other commands doing there and how are they working for you in Hunt?

  • GE-Proton10-14 Released

    Jump

  • Yeah also rollbacked to 10-12. Haven’t had a chance to test 10-14.

    I am skeptical due to the change log. It seems he is applying game specific fixes on top of 10-13. I imagine what was making Hunt slow was in a downstream project.

  • GE-Proton10-14 Released

    Jump

  • There were major performance regressions for Hunt Showdown in 10-13. I wonder if that is fixed in this release.

  • GE-Proton10-14 Released

    Jump

  • I don’t know for sure but I run Mangohud with a wine version display and I know the version string for 10-13 was messed up. It was something along the lines of 10-12-gitsha. So maybe he was fixing that?

  • Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally )

    Jump

  • It’s a little confusing because of things shifting around but my understanding is that this the launch of Microsoft’s debloated and handheld gaming targeted version of Windows. Basically they saw what a better experience SteamOS was and realized it was a problem.

  • Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far... | JayzTwoCents [27:59]

    Jump

  • I am kind of shocked about the 7900 xtx. I have the same GPU and I am getting good performance under Linux.

    I did some just for fun benchmarking on Doom The Dark Ages last night and I expected Linux to be slightly slower due to the built in ray tracing but I actually got better avgs under Linux. The max frame rate was slightly higher under Windows but the lows were way better under Linux. Overall fairly close performance with a slight edge to Linux.

    Maybe Bazzite is doing some magic here. What distro was he using?

    Edit: I watched a bit of it, he is running Bazzite, no idea why he is seeing such crazy different numbers. I typically run Proton GE, and I assume he is running Proton Stable, so that would make a dent. People are mentioning low power mode in the comments, but I never have had any issue with that and my 7900 xtx. I haven't had to do anything weird or out of the ordinary.

    I think it’s most likely due to me not playing the same games he is, Stalker 2 is basically the only he is playing that I have played in the past and I've haven't done a comparison of that game on Linux vs Windows.

  • How the hell do you forget you have child in a car? That has to be a drug situation or some kind of mental impairment.

  • Final Benchmarks Of Clear Linux On Intel: ~48% Faster Than Ubuntu Out-Of-The-Box

    Jump

  • Interesting - is that kernel level thing? Could other distros use that on the right hardware or is too much to maintain multiple kernels that are that hardware specific?

  • Final Benchmarks Of Clear Linux On Intel: ~48% Faster Than Ubuntu Out-Of-The-Box

  • What is clear doing that is unique and what are the trade offs?

    Why isn’t this mainstreamed into other distros?

  • What the fucking fuck is this? Websites are comically bad now.

  • What do y'all recommend as an arch based distro?

    Jump

  • It’s had a few security issues in the past and last I heard they introduce a lag between packages going into the arch repos and things being available in Manjaro - even for critical security updates.

  • If you are dehydrated from an illness typically something Gatorade or water with a bit of salt in it will help you hydrate better then just water.

  • What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?

  • Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?

    Jump

  • I don’t believe those products have native Linux versions. You would need to run them from a compatibility layer. To be honest nothing on my desktop has needed that so not too familiar with the best way to do that.

  • Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?

    Jump

  • I am trying to dance around Linux distro concepts that are probably not super beginner friendly, so my descriptions might have been obtuse, but yes you can generally do anything on any distro.

    Bazzite is a immutable distro, which gives you certian advantages, but makes it harder to accommodate some use cases. In general, if the software you want is on https://flathub.org/ you are golden.

  • Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?

    Jump

  • Desktop mode on the Steam Deck is using KDE Plasma. You can use that on the vast majority of Linux distros.

    Here is a few the spring to mind:

    • Bazzite - A good place to start, their project goal is to basically be SteamOS like experience you can put on any machine.
    • Fedora Workstation with KDE - Bazzite is based off of this project, it's a more general experiance, lots of people enjoy it.
    • Kubuntu - Ubuntu is very popular distro, this is their KDE version.
    • OpenSuse Tumbleweed - For folks who want the most up to date software possible.

  • Anyone else seeing Intense OLED flicker on Gnome VRR? Any flicker on KDE?

    Jump

  • For posterity's sake here is what I ended doing.

    • I reinstalled Bazzite and switched over to KDE variant
    • Flicker seems a lot better then Gnome under KDE, especially at the desktop level
    • In the games I have tested, flicker still feels more prominent then Windows 11 - mostly noticeable in HDR games with fluctuating framerates and in menus (even if that menu has stable frame rate)
    • Flicker patterns are different under KDE then Gnome, some games has less flicker, some more, overall an improvement

    HDR is working well under KDE, the Wayland mode in GE Proton introduces a big performance hit in some games unfortunately.
