He has done some other good videos but yeah this is a pretty shit take that amounts to “stop having fun”.

All the analogue systems have official unofficial jailbreaks. I’ve never used cartridges on any of them.

Actually on Tumbleweed right now. I've been generally impressed but my suspend broke out of no where and it's the latest in a long line of (mostly) minor things breaking with updates. The upside with how fast the updates are is that usually things are fixed as quickly as they break but suspend has been broken for me for about 3 weeks now.

I honestly just don't think rolling distros are for me. Or at least, not for my use case of chill out during my downtime and play a game PC.

Right now I am pretty frustrated with HDR under Linux. Well frustrated may be the wrong word, but it is the thing right now that gets me to boot into Windows to play games that have HDR.

I am wondering if I would have more luck using the deck variant for HDR because apparently Valve has this figured out before everyone else.

Kind of the boat I am in.

Just want my gaming desktop to work and be stable. Or at least more stable then my current rolling release, Tumbleweed.

I do have an AMD GPU, so that sounds like it will make things easier.

Are you running the -deck variant that gives you a Steam deck experience that has a DE for "desktop mode" or just the version with a more traditional DE?

I had a pretty bad experience with Nobara where KDE was super unstable. Probably hardware specific, but when I switched off it everything was stable.

It feels like a real low bar to cross for an article on the subject, especially given that comments were public

Unfortunately no.

CoolerMaster Tempest GP27U

I would not recommend it for anything besides running Windows as it has issue connecting to Linux and Mac devices (duel booting Linux and have a MacBook).

Actually I wouldn’t recommend it period. I’ve had a lot of problems with it.

Read my original post - for HDR content I need to turn off VRR. Not ideal but it’s the reality for my monitor.

I’m into it so far but the traversal stuttering on PC is really hampering my enjoyment of the game.

Wondering if I should have picked up the PS5 version instead.

 

I've done some Googling on this topic and some folks are saying it should just work and that distro I am on, OpenSuse, used to patch Firefox with support for global menus or that the Plasma extension should give you support but I haven't been able to get anything to work.

Anyone know what is needed / if this is even possible with current Firefox?

Me again!

Using Discord while playing Hunt Showdown and if I alt+tab away from the game into Discord to volume adjust, unmute myself or someone else, the left clicks are going to the game and causing some not so great misfires. Anyway to prevent the left click from propagating into the game window?

Using KDE + Wayland and Discord Flatpak if that effects it at all.

Weirdest damn thing, occasionally my network connectivity was being lost. Not the wifi signal, but just the route to the internet. I finally realized today it happens whenever I do a fresh boot (i.e. first time after system boot) of Heroic Games Launcher.

I am running OpenSuse Tumbleweed and using the Heroic Flatpak. Any idea how I would debug what the heck is going on so I can give a bug report to the Flatpak maintainers? I was poking around /var/log but didn't see anything interesting.

Edit: Correction, it brings down my network on every single launch, not just from a fresh boot. The network eventually comes back up, but it blips for a good few minutes.

Message that pops up in KDE is "This device appears to be connected to a network but is unable to reach the internet. " and trying to open websites leads to an error page.

 

Like the title says I am trying to understand how these things should work together. Part of my issue is I don't have a good mental model on the Flatpak permissioning / sandbox model. My use case is running a game on Lutris, which is a Flatpack, and using my package install of Mangohud. I am also curious if I should using a Flatpak version of Mangohud instead of the package installed version, and understanding how I would set up Steam as a Flatpak in the future when I switch away from the packaged version.

Thanks for any helpful tips or links you can provide.

 

Mangohud works really great for this inside a game, but outside of that I am not sure what to turn to check temps at idle.

I would prefer a GUI tool (QT since I am on Plasma), but I am also comfortable with the terminal. What are you all using?

As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I've been running the package version for awhile and it's been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro.

I know how to do this, I am just curious if I shouldn't do it or if there anything I should be aware of. Will my game library just work between the two?

Question to help me increase my understanding on what’s going on in the Linux desktop stack. I’ve heard Gnome doesn’t support VRR while KDE does.

Why does this matter, isn’t Wayland or X11 the one that would ultimately need to support VRR? Basically when running a game that I want to use VRR with, why does it matter what my desktop environment is doing?

 

Got a Steam Deck on the way, anything I should know before I dive in when it arrives?

 

Any recommendations for games like Hunt either in tone or gameplay?
