Um acktually, games like Warframe IN THE VIDEO show this happening and I did this with it fully pre-compiled. Please see 12:42 in the bottom left corner. Inaccuracy my foot, please watch the video.

If you have an old CPU disable it. Listen to what I said.

DLSS 3 does not work, but some features are backward-ish. Was able to get frame generation on Witcher 3 Next Gen, but not Cyberpunk (probably because of DLSS 3+

@@Trafotin yeah, Proton's experimental branch does have initial support though. Not for all games yet, but we're getting there

I can block on my host machine. Way harder to do on an OS controlled by Valve.

If you left Windows less than a week ago, I am sorry this has been your experience, but I strongly recommend getting off Garuda and moving to something like Bazzite instead. You don't need to use Garuda to play games and Bazzite is a lot less painful and better suited if you are new to Linux.

@@Trafotin It's all working well now. It wasn't the night light. I'm not really sure what it was. I was inspired to switch after setting up 5 raspberry pis multiple times each I'm running qbittorrent, openvpn, arr's, pi-hole/unbound, jellyfin, zoneminder, home assistant on them. 4 of them are headless. So, I am kinda new but I kinda know how to get things going and am a glutton for punishment lol The pi-hole is what really pushed me to switch. After seeing Microsoft trying relentlessly to access my network, I had enough. After being blocked like that for a couple of weeks, they text saying someone is possibly trying to use my account and I have to go click on stuff to stop them from locking my account. What a pain, especially if they were to actually lock me out. Thanks for the tip tho. If I hit a wall down the road, I do have Bazzite on my radar

ProtonUp-Qt is not run by Bazzite's or Valve's devs. They include it because it's a useful way to troubleshoot issues and so people can play as many games as possible. And that icon in the system tray? That's updates for the Steam Deck, which also apply automatically.

Both of them will have good performance since the two of them implement new stuff quickly, just choose whichever you like, I personally prefer KDE because it has great customization

2 cents? Use GNOME. I have had more bugs and issues related to NVIDIA come out of KDE, save for a spell last year where I switched to KDE twice last year because of odd bugs in Fedora and libadwaita. Those have been fixed now and NVIDIA is just less polished on KDE. There's also an issue where monitors are forced to be your lowest possible refresh rate, so I have 144 and 60 Hz monitors, and all of my games are forced into 60 FPS vsync on KDE.

@@Trafotin thank you

Because I would rather use an OS that run containers, gets actual work done, and has many more eyeballs on it.

@@Trafotin yea thats what I mean I think freebsd is so underrated and everyone always talks about linux I think if freebsd got more attention it would be easier for beginners and more drivers would be made for it, and its more unix like, faster and probably more secure.

I don't do videos on illegal content.

​@@eobardthawnemcoc add installer as non steam game. Launch, Install. In preferences, point launch executable to installed game executable. In case of portable variants just add have executable. In steamgriddb optionally grab UI elements.

I suggest using the program "Bottles", really good for keeping external programs isolated and organized, making it easy for troubleshooting

Doesn't support Secure Boot because Nobara uses custom kernel drivers to improve gaming performance, which causes problems because they need to be signed with DKMS. Nobara also replaces SELinux with AppArmor and Fedora is built with SELinux as the default. Top it off, Bazzite doesn't have these problems and Secure Boot works just fine.

If you play those games use Windows. Or learn how to make sacrifices for the betterment of gamerkind by using Linux so we get a higher userbase and everyone can enjoy games like LoL and Fortnite in the future when gamestudios are forced to release games on Linux to survive.

Fortnite works in XCloud on Linux, but that's about it.

@@Isjan-og4ph I trust him to make proton-ge for me, just not a distro where the stakes are a lot higher.

@@Soccera0 yup yup yup

He also made a hobby distro he only intended his dad to use. Don't use it, use Bazzite instead.

Never heard of Proton UMU but I'm going to speak with some people about Wine-GE.

Their kernel already comes with many of the cachy optimizations out of the box

It is not available for v2 on fedora.

@bhargavjitbhuyan9394 The CachyOS kernel IS available for x86-64v2 CPUs on Fedora.

Don't they use the CachyOS Bore kernel?

linux-tkg and call it a day

Don't exactly recommend dual booting, but the best solution I have found is 1 drive for Bazzite, another drive for Windows 11, but it's so dependent on someone having a drive bay or slot space for NVMes. Usually I'm the one who reviews their Micro Center or New Egg purchases.

I concur, thank you for taking time to (professionally and politely) correct some of the incorrect information in this video. I will add that the Nobara dev explains all this on their site and have a very active community on Discord. Agree with Debian, using LMDE as it is super stable for someone who uses their laptops once or twice a month only. :)

When Elden Ring first came out, it was broken on Windows because FROM didn't implement DX12 shader caching correctly and the Linux players could play just fine because of Fossilize.

The importing did not work most of the time I have tried it, but I still recommend it anyway. Best way to use GOG, Epic, and Amazon Prime Gaming.

​@@GottKrampf is cachy os good os and what kind of games do you play? Ive seen it as best distro

@kleddo3126 Personally i wouldn't bother with Arch based distros and just go straight for Arch. Cutting down on the initial setup is tempting but often enough results in much slower and more frustrating troubleshooting. I've haven't tried CachyOS myself yet as I've heard a fair amount of complaints about its performance, booting issues, hardware compatibility and failed installations so i would highly recommend additional research. I myself aren't particularly bound to a single distro atm. Having a x670E Gene as my MB makes swapping drives with different installs very fast and effortless so i make plenty use of it. The ones i frequent the most are Mint as most used, Fedora and Arch for more specific needs, PopOS for keeping an eye on Cosmic and very occasionally Windows for stuff that at least currently cannot be archived under Linux. Before i get into what i currently play have a short list of my hardware, 7800x3D, 7900 XTX, 2x16GB 6000MT/s Cl30, 2TB 990 Pro with Mint. Although i mainly rely on Mint for everyday use i usually go for either Fedora or Arch if i feel like I'm missing out out performance i should be getting or actually require newer drivers. More than often enough using the right version of Proton / GE and or other tweaks is more important than the distro / drivers used. Other compatibility layers and games that offer native Linux support will likely wield different results. The last demanding game I actually played at release is actually already older than i anticipated. Ghost of Tsushima, i also compared it against Windows and actually ended up with a slightly better performance on Mint, PlayStation login / multiplayer hasn't been available via proton at launch but had been accessible by logging in over windows and that carried over... so some workarounds where needed for full functionality. That aside i mainly play soukslikes like the Dark Souls trilogy, Lies of P, Elden Ring, some RTS with the different Supreme Commander entries and Star Wars Empire at War, some shooters: Armored Core 6, Heroes of Valor and also some more relaxing games like Stardew Valley and Celeste. One solid advice i can give is checking if your desired distro plays nicely with your hardware beyond the surface. As example people often forget the importance of stuff like checking if Rebar is actually enabled and set at a reasonable size. If Rebar has a positive effect or non at all can of course vary on a bunch of different factors.

I've only tried CachyOS-deck on my Rog Ally and on an old Thinkpad. It's very fast to install. I had issues so I did not use it for long, a few hours. Arch is great if your time is worthless. I never had time for it. "The Ubuntu's" are great, used them for almost nine years. Not great if you want new stuff. I want the new RX 9070 XT (if it's good).

@@GottKrampf Saying to avoid Arch-based distros in favor of Arch is bad advice for a new user. The amount of tweaking you have to do to Arch to get anywhere near CachyOS is ridiculous, and comes with next to no benefit besides learning. Think about how daunting that would be to a new user who just wants to get rid of Windows and have their games work: a great way to scare someone away from Linux. I've been on Linux exclusively for over a decade, used just about every common Debian-based distro, Manjaro, Arch, NixOS and many more. CachyOS is one of the only distros that feels good for gaming out of the box and it's still very lightweight compared to a lot of "just works" distros. Performance on Fedora is awful, Debian has old drivers, Arch & Nix take a lot of tweaking, Manjaro is unstable. Cachy comes out of the box with the drivers you need, configured themes, a high-performance kernel and a few tools to play with your system sans-CLI. Even though I have no issues configuring Arch, Cachy is my #1 gaming distro. Nix will continue taking the spot on all my other machines though

Still, Ubuntu sucks though

Good to know. I've only used rebase from desktop mode to gamemode and back.

@@PengWingAtomic It is fine if you rebase within the same DE, Vanilla Fedora Kinoite -> Aurora -> Bazzite (KDE) etc. So deck image to non-deck image with the same DE is also ok.

This is half-true. I have moved fairly seamlessly between the 2 with no discernible issues aside from the NVIDIA related ones. The process is exactly the same on normal distros and absolutely nothing to do with atomic desktops.

I think they already fixed that on the latest proton

If they haven't fixed the bug you write steamdeck=1

Yeah it’s not necessary anymore with Proton Experimental (I think they even pushed it to the latest full proton release) and the GE versions

Tried it yesterday. Did not need launch option, I just used Proton EXP. The anti-cheat launcher thing didn't show up either.

I believe they pledged support on the Discord, but now it won't work in the US because of Sinophobic regulators.

I get it and that was why I put the lengthy disclaimer at the beginning. I don't even use it, I was just hunting for a lightweight VM desktop distro at the time.

Non issue. Windows and Mac uses more memory, Next comment?

I run it too, but don't recommend. It's not a bad experience per say, but I really don't like System76's architectural practices and refund policy.

I agree and after further inspection past this video, GNOME on openSUSE may have worked. In the video, I used openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE.
