I have always had issues with KDE Plasma. On a dual monitor desktop setup, games would either open full screen on the secondary monitor, or an errant click would lead to them dropping out of full screen in a way that was unrecoverable without restarting the game. I had a much better experience with Gnome on that front, and my experience with Hyprland has been perfect. I can swap my game between any number of workspaces and full screen it with super+F.
Did anyone see the MASSIVE rumble/haptic motors in the grip area? Yeah. This is the answer. They packed a lot of stuff in there.
I knew 4chan would eventually immigrate to Lemmy.
This isn’t why it failed. It failed because the software, user experience, and compatibility was immature. That is no longer the case, as proven by the steamdeck, and offering a mature ecosystem with VR, controller, and console/PC that all interact seamlessly will be the major selling point.
I’m expecting $799.99 for the low storage model, and if it performs as well as a typical $1000-$1200 PC, I think they’ll enjoy the same level of adoption seen by the Steamdeck. The target will be people looking for an entry level to PC gaming, and current PC enthusiasts on lower end hardware looking for an upgrade that’s simple and reasonably positioned price wise against traditional PCs.
If you’re unfamiliar with the channel, their content is top notch and very consistent. They’re also champions of consumer protection and investigate shady bullshit going on in the tech sector.
And that my friend is the primary caveat to Linux. More work. For the day to day user browsing the web, checking email, etc, it typically just works.
Certain use cases will require a lot more tinkering, and thus more work. If you have patience, and enjoy the work, enjoy the learning, it’s not a bad thing.
If you have an AMD GPU, corectrl is a graphical application for controlling your GPU and CPU, works great, but make sure you know what you’re doing.
ckb-next is a reverse engineered solution for controlling RGB on Corsair peripherals. I’m not certain what other functionality it may have but it’s worth checking out.
It looks like there are a couple of apps in development for the streamdeck, python-elgato-streamdeck and streamcontroller. Both of these may require some education to utilize.
I’m not sure which Vortex you’re referring to, is it the mod manager? If so, you’ll likely need to dig up some other means of using mods.
Wine and proton used through steam have done a phenomenal job of making gaming accessible on Linux. Unfortunately, making other windows software work as if it were native is very touch and go with wine.
When anyone switches to Linux they really have to think about all of the caveats and potential deal breakers that may crop up. A dedicated Linux user will go out of their way to acquire hardware that they know to be directly supported by either the kernel itself or another reverse engineered kernel module. For instance, I use Razer peripherals, because openrazer and polychromatic do an incredible job of making them work without any loss of functionality.
I hope some of this is helpful
I’m not recommending Nvidia. I’m making a point by giving an example of the procedure for installing drivers for the most common GPU (by a wide margin, amd and intel market share accounts for single digit market share) being far more difficult on Debian than other distributions that are more beginner friendly.
Did you even bother to read the thread?
I get so frustrated hearing this take over and over again.
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
This is the process for installing the DKMS Nvidia GPU drivers on Debian.
The process to install said drivers on Ubuntu, Pop, Mint, etc, is literally clicking an icon.
Yes, following the manual is easy for you, and easy for me. It’s not easy for the tech illiterate elders in our lives. And it’s not easy for me to drop in weekly to solve their problems either.
I’ve ran Fedora on and off for years, by my measure, it’s not old man proof.
I run CachyOS with Hyprland, after using EndeavourOS for quite some time. I definitely recommend either one, if you’re willing to learn to do things via terminal.
After a fiasco with my 72 year old father in law’s laptop, I no longer recommend Linux Mint to people. On a fairly new Asus, multiple attempts at installing were needed to get it running, and he had constant issues that pushed him away from it. Installed Ubuntu for him, no issues over the past year. Sure it has snaps. He doesn’t know the difference and everything seems to be working fine. The goal is no IT support calls from the old man and Ubuntu achieved it.
Just spitballing, because honestly the amount of effort that must go into sustaining this attack in the long term just baffles me. Like, why?
I wonder if it could be a state actor? I can imagine that the powers that be in MANY countries could be motivated to keep users away from operating system software that isn’t spyware.
Not this guy again.
Blatant poor copy of The Long Dark.
I won’t stop calling you out for being a hack.

And it’s essentially perfect. Just slap the game files in the correct folder and go. Support for modern screen resolutions, runs smooth and stable.
Edit: it also has access to multiplayer. Hop in the official devolutionx discord to find friends to delve with.
