nesamdoom posted:This thread is very much responcible for my not logging into guild wars 2 for dailies in months. I only have windows install for some games i don't bother to put effort into setting to run on linux. But, i haven't had random crashes or system freezing errors or anything just deciding not to work since I last booted windows. kinda funny how people think linux takes so much work but 90%(i guess) of online tech support for computers is trying to figure out why windows hosed up for no reason. I need to go through the gimp thread and learn to use that better since i'm so PS dependant now. I still can't believe adobe managed to buy macromedia and then killed the best parts of it and over time pretty much let the rest become pointless. maybe i should wine up my 05 copy of dreamweaver since i always liked that. but to my point, it's nice how stable linux is compared to windows when everyone seems to have the idea that linux is so much work. guess i'll keep using my linux laptop to fix everyone's windows computer. If you use Steam, I've been using the Ubuntu 22.04 pre-release (It has the PS5 controller kernel drivers!) and Proton has been loving perfect! It's played everything I've thrown at it, including: - Elite Dangerous - Halo MCC - MSG V - Sable - Doom (2016) - Dark Souls Remastered - Cloudpunk - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut - Psychonauts (Windows version works better than Linux Native version -- Had to switch to Proton 5.13-6 but it was just selecting a different menu item) - Journey and loads more. I do do a courtesy check on protondb because sometimes folks will say stuff like "oh there's some stuttering unless you use this early version of proton" or "use WINED3D=blah for better performance", but it has been so painless It looks like guild wars 2 has a reasonably good rating on it, and some folks have said online works by the look of it! |

Grinches are Glowing posted:hello Linux thread I have this steam OS thing going on for my steam deck and apparently it's great for emulator games from the past but now I'm wondering what games or programs I could try to make work or if there even is a limit at all given there is a guy who made diablo 2 run on that and also there was this guy who played doom on a pregnancy test and Theres a website that took me through it step by step with a script that autoinstalls stuff that integrates w the deck software also reddit searching will help u set it up a bit too https://www.emudeck.com/ Too much is always not enough! |

Gubbinal Girl posted:I'm boring and stick to Ubuntu. It seems to be the most commonly supported distro for the stuff I do and it "just works"* ive been using ubuntu but it kinda feels crap with the snaps thing. like i had to install flatkit or whatever so now i have two programs that do the same thing differently and thats in addition to my package manager. feels wack tbh but icba to update myself on the current state of the world re: distros, so

knuthgrush posted:Don't use arch if you're uncomfortable with the command line. Mint is about the most user friendly Linux out there so I'm not sure why you had to rely on the terminal so much? nah this is a cool rear end post. Also, idk, Arch was how i learned some of the best things re: the command line haha. Trial by fire  Elementary OS is a name i havent heard of in a long while... how is the state of that? I really really want something as sleek as the old Unity dash was but like... KDE feels overengineered and GNOME feels... wrong... Too much is always not enough! |

knuthgrush posted:I've found that proton works well for a lot of games. Obviously there's a wide swath that doesn't but I can live with that and protondb helps me navigate it. If proton stops working, try proton GE. Also sometimes some games work amazing with tweaks. Too much is always not enough! |

I've been absolutely loving my Steam deck. Getting 60FPS on Doom, Doom Eternal, and GTA V, on high quality settings at 1080p is just lovely. And even just 40 FPS is super smooth and responsive because the monitor on the deck itself can run at 40hz. It's allowed me to play games I otherwise couldn't have afforded the hardware to run, and it's so so nice being able to curl up and chill with a game. I'm incredibly grateful for Valve for the last 6-7 years of their linux efforts. They've poured billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of man hours into gaming on linux, have dedicated teams working on mesa, wine, etc. to ensure poo poo works, builds bespoke software just to speed things up and they open source it and contribute upstream. No other company has been willing to take a leap as big as they have, aside from maybe Apple with the m1, and it looks like it has broadly paid off. In the last ten years my linux experience has gone from "Oh, I'm missing wifi drivers in Ubuntu, better use Arch Linux", to, "I can play all the same games my Windows friends do with minimal tweaks, and everything the OS needs to do works out of the box", it's honestly just astonishing how much progress there's been and I'm looking forward with hopeful eyes to the next ten years

nesamdoom posted:Yea, I mostly think it'd be assholish if they were active. But less, as pointed, with multicores and especially high clocks. But I think it matters.

So apparently that may be entirely fixable. I was reading about Asahi Linux (linux for apple computers) and basically apple isnt doing anything special, it's all in software, and the options for Apple level battery life exist in the linux kernel already but nobody turns them on lol

nesamdoom posted:
Huh? No it's basically stock Linux, and they're working on making sure you can install say, an offshoot of Fedora, and have everything work ootb. Most of that is fixing bugs but they fo recompile the kernel to flip on some pre-existing switches for energy dependent scheduling. They also developed a pipewire filter to get the speakers sounding nice and a system daemon for making sure the speakers aren't driven too hard. And they've added drivers/interfaces for stuff like the touchbar and drivers for the camera firmware chip But like, theres no tricking its a clean wipe and install

tricking an apple unix to linux. That's a cool tip for shifting things to better battery.
