... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? ๐Ÿ˜ 

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

My largest showstoppers with Linux is the lack of DRM support, the lack of "just works" installs, no Parsec (I've tried Moonlight/Sunshine many, many, many times, it never works for me), and ... this one little thing ...

I would use Linux more if either Virtual Desktop or Steam Link worked in Linux. As it stands, neither work, and current implementations of VR in Linux are still alpha / experimental beyond Index / SteamVR direct tethering, not an option for someone that has a cheap standalone headset.

You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil's were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.

[โ€“] Blaster_M 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Parsec is like Moonlight / Sunshine in that it video streams your desktop for remote access. It is very low latency and lets you even game remotely. I've used it to remotely video edit and also test things, mainly to control my beefy desktop from my laptop in a remote location. The difference between Moonlight and Parsec is, Parsec's 1000x less painful to setup, especially when connecting from across the internet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Parsec's own website offers a linux download. I've never used the software, but are you saying it doesn't work?

[โ€“] Blaster_M 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The client works fine, but you can't host a linux system using Parsec.

It's been a couple of months since I have used it. (Moved and haven't set my server up yet). Does hardware decoding on Linux work now?

[โ€“] Blaster_M 2 points 6 months ago

Depends on the gpu driver, the distro, and how many hoops you feel like jumping through to enable support.

There shouldn't be any hoops. This should all be native by now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

So AMD, Nvidia and Intel all have DRM support as that is what draws content to the screen. Without DRM you wouldn't have a GPU. You can see it in /dev/dri

I think they are talking about direct rendering manager

[โ€“] Blaster_M 1 points 6 months ago

exactly. I'm referring to playing protected content and hardware video decoding.
