I'm currently in the process of (finally) migrating my gaming PC to Linux and through that eradicating the last bit of Windows in my private life.

However, I happen to have a Nvidia card in my PC (GTX 1650 was the only sensible choice since I'm limited to a 250W PSU and it was almost half the price of an RX 6400) and Linux (nobara in my case) isn't exactly making it easy for me, especially since I'd like to have gamescope / the steam deck interface.

I made steam start in Big picture mode on my linux mint HTPC to achieve that interface. Does that not work for you bc of the Nvidia card?

[–] accideath 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The regular old af Big Picture mode should work fine but it’s ugly and clunky imo. The new steamdeck specific big picture mode (or rather session) doesn’t work. I just get a black screen. That might be fixable but I haven’t dug into that yet. It should be able to work with current drivers. Wouldn’t be as complicated with AMD graphics and I’m looking if I find someone to trade my 1650 with an RX 6400…

I see, thanks for the clarification

Yeah I don’t think that’s gonna work. It uses Wayland which AFAIK is not supported by the proprietary Nvidia driver. No idea about the open source one but I don’t think that’s ready for prime time yet anyway.

I have read that it does work (if you’re lucky, using the right drivers, sacrifice your firstborn,…) And in all fairness, nobara linux did get Wayland to work on my NVIDIA card but not gamescope. I‘m still getting a black screen
