I’d just like to interject for a moment…
I’m not saying i like windows, but i literally cannot do on linux what i want to do with my setup right now. Linux doesn’t work, windows does, so windows is the right tool at the moment, because it is the only tool, unless i go out of my way to get a different gpu, which i’m not going to do.
It was one from cable matters, but i didn’t try it myself, just read all the experiences online. They already make it clear themselves on the product page that vrr doesn’t work, which is a dealbreaker for me personally. Some people claim they got everything working including vrr after flashing a custom firmware, but they still have to replug the cable everytime after they boot before it works, and even after the firmware flash it still doesn’t work for everyone. i think this is the cable. They link it at the top of the thread.
TV’s usually don’t have DP unfortunately, including mine, and even the best adapter that i found recommended was janky at best, so i figured i’d rather put up with windows nonsense when i want to play a game.
I don’t see what’s wrong with dualbooting. I was using only linux full time for 4 years, until one of my favorite online games started using anti-cheat. Some people might say that i should’ve just given up the game, but i chose to dualboot. And now i just bought an LG OLED C5 as a gaming monitor, realized hdmi 2.1 isn’t working with amd on linux, so i switched my dualboot around where windows now uses the bigger SSD, cause i have to pretty much play everything through windows for the best experience. It sucks, but linux is still there for productivity, and general tasks that i don’t want microsoft to snoop in on. Windows is purely a gaming system for me now. Using the right tool for the job and all that.
Declaritive, reproducible proton config? Nix:
Yeah i just watched the LTT video and it doesn’t actually look that bad when he’s holding it. I’ll probably be sticking to my PS5 controller since i don’t really have a good reason to buy another one. Now that i think of it, i remember initially being sceptical about the PS4 and 5 controllers as well when they came out, but i always ended up preferring the newer design. PS4 controller felt uncomfortable after using the PS5 controller, and the same thing happened going from 3 to 4.
Ps5 even advertises 8k, because some easy to run indiegame might be able to be run at that res lol.
I guess with the steamdeck’s touchpads in mind this design makes sense, but damn does that thing look bulky lol. Maybe it feels more comfortable to hold than it looks.
After reading the title i was like “wait, is this about the game, the programming language, the movie, or corrosion?” Too many damn things called rust these days lol
When it comes to this i personally tend to agree with what Brodie Robertson always says in his videos about SteamOS. It’s kinda silly to keep waiting for an official release when things like Bazzite exist, but if the SteamOS release helps with more people making the switch, then that’s still a good thing in the end.
Well the good news is that amd, from my understanding atleast, works much better for deeplearning on linux than on windows, because the rocm drivers are much better than the opencl windows drivers. Rocm still lacks behind nvidia though, as with most things when it comes to amd vs nvidia, so i’d say it depends on how important it is for you to get the better performing card. Nvidia drivers have been getting better for linux, so it should be doable to use an nvidia card. But it sucks cause i agree with you that nvidia as a company is ass lol.
The nice thing about gta 4 on linux is that you don’t even need to manually bother with dxvk, which people also use on windows because it improves the game’s performance.
It’s not really a live tracker or tracked by popularity, but if i’m looking for software in a specific category to see what choices there are i often go the archwiki list of applications.
I think he’s referring to framework financially supporting omarchy and hyprland.
Yeah i was pretty young at the time, maybe like 10 years old or something lol, so it was probably too complicated for me back then. I tried ubuntu and linux mint somewhere around 2010 on my first laptop, but i just tried it because it looked so different compared to windows, but i didn’t get the point of it and switched back because my windows games didn’t work lol. Ended up giving it another try back in 2021 when i saw LTT talk about how linux was actually usable as a gaming platform, and i got sick and tired of windows and their creepy questions everytime you clean install. Have been using linux ever since.
Bruh i remember as a kid watching a tutorial on youtube from some guy installing yellow dog linux on his ps3, wanted to try it as well but never managed to do it at the time, and then later the other os feature was removed from ps3.
Streaming services suck in general if you ask me. Even on windows the apps are ass imo. As an ultrawide user i always hated that i can’t zoom in on movies or shows to get rid of the black bars on the top and bottom and fullscreen it properly. I understand that that’s a weird edge case but it’s just one of the problems i had. With disney+ in particular, even on the windows app i couldn’t stream in 4k. I figured i’d try watching on ps4, but the audio would have this weird clipping like once every minute, which wasn’t an issue with the hardware, because it also happened on ps5 and with different headphones. I even went as far as buying an android tv box because i wanted to be a good boy and watch it legit, but that didn’t work out either, cause the box started getting slow and it would randomly exit the app in the middle of watching a show. So in the end i gave up and started pirating. Their service was so awfull that i saw no other option, which is kind of insane when you think about it. And now i can watch it in my player of choice, and properly fullscreen it on my ultrawide display.

XLibre claiming to be apolitical is hilarious when their readme sounds like it’s written by a MAGAt. Never touching that project that’s for sure.
Also pretty sure that stuff about the founder is bs, unless you can back that up with a source. From my understanding he ended up stepping down because he was already putting more attention into determinate nix, which was causing friction.
I guess i’m not commited enough lol. I didn’t want to pay out the ass for a similar sized monitor either, that would’ve still had less features as well. The tv was just way more versatile, aside from the dp thing, especially since i also still play on consoles. I saw you deleted your other comment, but no, there aren’t any good adapters that can actually provide all the features i want to use, including vrr, so i just can’t see that working. Maybe these issues will be resolved at some point in the future, and i can move most of my gaming back to linux, but for now it’s mostly going to be productivity, and i still daily drive it on my laptop since that thing can barely play games anyway.
