Yeah it's great! Every time I get frustrated I shake my mouse so when it goes massive it makes me laugh 🤣

Are you on Linux?

@@ukGagesadly not but maybe you know how to fix it on Windows 11?

I only play on Linux now so not sure. If there's an option to change between vulkan and direct x on Windows, that might be worth a go but I'm very much guessing! Interesting that it's happening on Windows too. I know it's happening on PS5 as well as Linux. There must be a bug on all systems at the mo

Glad it's helped 😁

It does the job I need it to do perfectly, thanks 😁

I'm not sure about Mac's sorry!

I'm not on a Mac, same issue

Same issue while running Linux? It's a standard Linux steam setting

I've had GeForce now and The Amazon one recommended for anything that's kernel level anti cheat and streamable. I'll give them a look if there's anything I really want to play that won't work

I'm on an Asus Rog Strix Scar, what did you have to mess with? On Bazzite I installed Asus Control Centre with a GUI and everything just worked with it. I think it's AsusCTL underneath the gui

@@ukGage I have the 2024 Zephyrus G14, so the slash lighting on the back was flashing very annoyingly and from what I could find, there isn't any real customization tools for it on linux yet. I was able to disable it eventually. And for some reason I had to restart my laptop a few times before the keyboard lighting & function keys would work.

Ah that's a shame. I was using openrgb for my laptop lighting but the Asus control centre gui worked for me and gave me better control. If you've not tried it already, it's from asus-linux.org/

Thank you, I need to get playing again to be honest!

Except it doesn't and can be demonstrably proven with a few simple tests and benchmarks

Thanks. A few people have said but I really like it. My frustration was with Firefox being crap 🤣

It's a great film 😁

Thanks very much 🙂

It's an Asus Rog Strix Scar 17

It's great 😁

I'll check it out, thanks!

Great to hear another success story with the switch. I agree with you about "what people say", it's why I said it in my video, so many people tried to put me off buy an the reasons they gave simply were false. It's possible it's been years since they've tried I suppose if I'm giving them done benefit of doubt! Ultimately, I think it's great that everyone has more of a choice now 😁

I'll do some more digging, thanks! I've found 3 programs that work with them so far with varying degrees of customisation 🙂

Why is it weird? The whole video is about me as a new user making the switch and giving feedback of my experience in making the switch. Subject experience should never be gatekept, there are experiences and points of view that are relevant at different stages of learning. Yes, they don't work. Did plenty of research as well as testing. There's some good alternatives out there 🙂 Someone much cleverer and more experienced than I may get them working at some point

You can't use WINE like that. Its a user space translation layer and does not have direct access to the Linux Kernel. Therefore "Windows drivers" in WINE don't have access to the hardware and only work with the NT Kernel. If you want supported hardware when running Linux buy supported Linux hardware, it'll be plug and play. "Drivers" is a Windows thing ( apart from NVIDIA ). Note: Don't confuse "drivers" with "software to interact with your device", in Linux they're two different things.

Thanks 🙂

Appreciate the like, op. I've tried numerous Linux distros but I keep failing to see the benefits that compensate for dealing with wine/proton file waste and messes, and the incompatibility. Even if Linux eventually can run 90% of the software perfectly, I'm always going to find prefix folder stuff maddening. I just keep returning to one of these open source playbook Windows cleaners. I've been someone who's run customized Windows distros since XP though. Back when it was risky to do so.

Correct, it's talking about why I moved from Windows 11 to Linux. I've used Revi before and a few of the other Tiny / Stripped versions and my issue was the same with each - after installing the latest security update, you have to strip it again and everything comes back - has that changed?

The best one I found was the Chris Tutus scripts, but in the end, it always ended up coming back to full bloat

@@ukGage yeah I love his stuff too. And yes you are supposed to keep windows updates turned off, then enabled them and let them run right before a new playbook update. I've never understood the argument that if windows update is such a headache, why not disable it for maybe 6 months? If you are really afraid of some vulnerability you can just manually download that update off the site if you want, and ignore the rest

As I said in the video. It's not for everyone, the same as revi and the Tony's also aren't for everyone. It's not about making an argument to switch, it's giving an option as someone entirely new to the software as there is a big stigma around how difficult going to Linux is. No arguments, just options and my own personal experience aimed at a standard user.

That's great! The more I read the happier that I am that I picked Bazzite. I had a list down to three and pretty much guessed at the end 🤣

A mistake from me in my understanding. A few comments have already set me straight 🙂

Sounds like a very interesting setup! If you have time, could you let me know what tools you've used to do the sharing? It'd be great to be able to game upstairs without moving everything about.

@@ukGage The short version is I bought a second hand threadripper pro, built myself an AI cluster with a pair of RTX A5000 cards, using Proxmox as the host OS/hypervisor and then discovered the hard way that running games through an LXC with multiple GPUs doesn't work very well. I've just put in an Arc B580 as well, which I feed through PCIe passthrough into the VM that's used for gaming. Sometimes I'll use the VM as a remote play steam host, other times i'll just play directly in the VM. Not much in it, other than some games run fine using network play on native Steam and others work better being played through the VM itself. Proxmox is brilliant for this kind of thing. It's also running my media server, network storage and a bunch of other things through containers, all of which I can run as and when are required. Setting up the gaming VM was probably the hardest part of it to be honest, and that's only because of my hardware choices and original use case. Fortunately I picked a board with enough PCIe to run 3 GPUs. If I didn't need both of the A5000s for actual work grunt, I'd have used one of them for the VM. Actually I'd probably have set up virtual GPUs and split each A5000 onto a few VMs, but that's the flexibility you get with Proxmox. Every client device in my house is now a ChromeOS device, though bare Linux would work just as well. I mainly went with Chromebooks/a Chromebox because I'm integrated into the Google ecosystem and like having the phone hub. If I wasn't bothered about that, I'd be running Linux on all of my client devices instead.

I don't know specifically about those but I've been running lots on there (some in the video) and newer stuff like Space Marine 2. I haven't tried those but I'll see what I can find 🙂

Thanks, but I actually love it. It's very funny 🤣

What makes it easier than Bazzite? This is the only one I've tried and I'm genuinely interested 🙂

How did you get around the anti cheat with Fortnite!? About the Nvidia driver, it's preinstalled with Bazzite and gets auto updated

I nearly just went back to Windows 10, glad I made the switch though. Hopefully music production catches up for you, there's a few others talking about it in the comments and also still dual boot

Yeah, Fortnite is the one that my son wishes worked

I installed Marvel Rivals today, it's great! Blatant rip off of Overwatch though 🤣 It's all running in Ultra with no probs. My lot play Fortnite on their Playstation/Xbox so that covers it off at least 😁

Some of these more recent updates suggest so, sadly

Yeah a few people have said, that's great, always a fun one 😁 Thank you!

That's great! I got to the same conclusion as you about Krita, really like it. I found kdenlive after I did this video and think it's great. I love resolve but having to convert my files after recording in OBS is a bit of a pain so finding Kdenlive and seeing that it can read my files is great. If you have any recommendations for me for apps to try let me know please!

@@ukGage For photo manipulation I always recommend darktable. You can set rules for each camera and different settings on that camera, like the ISO or lens used (based on EXIF information) so it runs a set of effects and filters automatically at the time of import, like lens correction, noise reduction, hot pixels deletion, etc You can try waydroid, I don't think it runs Out of the box on bazzite (as you may need to break out of the inmutable situation to change your kernel and manage LXC stuff) but it lets you run a whole android container (not an emulator) that integrates to some degree to your desktop environment and can use your whole GPU/CPU natively (you can even install a translation layer like libndk or libhoudini to run arm apps and games) Helvum, qpwgraph and other are also cool tools, you can have a whole patchbay to connect your audio/midi/video streams between apps, devices and virtual devices however you like with full control over it. And for VR on the oculus, try ALVR. It might just work first try but your mileage will, most likely, vary. A lot.

Thank you. I downloaded it yesterday after someone suggested it as well.

So I've been told 🤣

I've not tried any music software yet. I've briefly tested putting my guitar through my Focusrite and that worked fine but that's about it (so far)

What games weren't working for you? I've been playing WoW and Minecraft online and had no problems but they do have very specific ways of doing multiplayer

I never have issues with Multiplayer games.. Curious to know what games.

I'm an Arch user as well, I prefer how stripped down it is and making it my own as well. That isn't for everyone, though. Distros like Bazzite are great for user adoption of desktop Linux. Some people just want a good out of the box experience with minimal steps. Getting people to use Linux is important, then people can decide if they want to learn more or not as time goes on.

Yeah it's a pretty big iso which I see people complain about but as you say, for me, it's great straight out of the box

That makes sense. I'm sure as I learn more I'll try more distros out

As long as it does not auto-start or has lengthy update processes, bloat matters very little and can help newcomers in getting started with the system. If desired it can be un-installed too, unless it is part of the immutable core, which is one of the reasons I do not recommend such distro's. This is commented from the 'bloated' Garuda Linux layer-distro built on Arch Linux directly (so it adds it's own repositories on top of the base Arch ones).

If I didn't have to open it multiple times to get it to show!

@@ukGage :D it's about the packaging format which Bazzite uses for Firefox. Just use something new like Zen (It's looking similiar to Arc browser (which is based on Chromium and doesn't work on GNU/Linux)) and it's Firefox based. Also it's pretty fast and getting updates very often.

I'll check it out. I'm only wedded to it because I've used it for so long and sync it with my phone which I'm sure lots of them do anyway

Exactly!

Thank you! Looking forward to learning more!

As in updates for the OS or programs? It's the only one I've used so I have no comparison 🙂

@@ukGage Yes, rpm-ostree and ujust in terminal. It's so slow compared to update from other distro. Other than that I have no problem, it's great!

Aha that makes sense, thanks!

@@JamesRichardsPlays just get an rgh 360 !

Great to hear all the stories of long term users!

Thanks 😁

@@ukGage yes!

What is wrong with my diction? I've never had that one before!

@@ukGage Oh, of course, you're English! Now I get why "water" turns into "wo'uh"!

Which demanding games are you flicking back for? I think the most demanding thing I play is Warhammer 40k and it runs brilliantly. I don't really play anything VR other than occasionally on my sons oculus but that's all built in so simple enough. Glad it's going well for you, Pop was one of the ones I had on my list to choose between. I was surprised as well how everything just works. You hear lots about how complicated it is or how nothing works.

@ukGage Heavy fps games such as ready or not, arma 3, Delta force and quite a few racing games are not running well for me on Linux. But being more into indie games recently I don't really mind that much.. and it doesn't take long to reboot into Windows if needed.

Thanks, I've not tried a racing game yet. Will give one a go

@@ukGage The ones I play (mainly from the old pre-EA codemasters) work just great. Some older ones had issues on newer windows versions but not on linux
