If you use the steam deck image scaler, it only works if you turn the res below native in game. also you should only use one scaler at a time, preferably the one in game over the steam one.
Tried bazzite, nobara, chimera and holo iso. Bazzite seems to be the most polished on my asus g14 (6700s) and it has the ROG tools out of the box and just works. Only problem is my audio keeps breaking and sounding like its in a tin can. Got any ideas? I would just buy a steam deck oled if they would just have added egpu support….. The LCD SD was just not powerful enough for me.
Man watching this was painful. Chris knows Linux better than I ever will but watching him trying to setup in game settings and FSR had me screaming at my screen lol.
you are running FSR twice. the games "render scale" setting IS FSR1 and then you are applying FSR from Steam overlay on top so you are probably at like 540p lol
Does is launch directly into Steamos Big picture mode just like steam deck? i don't wanna see no desktop, unless i choose to switch to desktop. please let me know or I'm not gonna try it.
I'm late to this but it seems like you're doing built-in FSR scaling AND steam game UI FSR scaling at the same time which probably hurts quality (and maybe performance?) a lot
Hey Im having a problem with one my internal drives, I installed this OS liking it so far, but my 2nd drive is asking for a password to mount each time I boot, any ideas? Im new to Linux so apologies if this is obvious
Eaaaah AMD GPUs and CPUs are guaranteed good things in linux except, when the only distros that actualy start are fedora and suse based while all the debian based ones including Ubuntu fail to even start. On 3700x and 6800 literally most distros start into black screen then instant crash and reset. The ones that work flawlessly-ish like my tumbleweed which i am using atm cant shut down the computer. Literally, hibernate, suspend, shutdown all do restart. I have to boot up any sort of windows to actually shut down my computer. The last debian things that actualy boot perfectly fine are Debian 9 and Ubuntu 20.04lts Anything newer dies.Have not experienced any of this while running on 2060
excuse me but manjaro is *not* a good system. it won't just implode on noobs, but it implodes in ways that just don't happen with mainline arch. if you want arch easily, just use the install script or something like endeavor which uses *real* arch.
Seconding this. Arch is dead easy to install these days. Just grabbing the binary version of Lutris afterward will pull in 90% of the dependencies you need and a web browser + VLC will pick up the rest. Steam goes without saying. Or just use flatpaks and never worry about dependencies again
Besides having less background stuff hogging the battery life, such distros get more people to try Linux. On Windows, Playnite is the choice game organizer to gather steam, Gog, emulators, in one hub.
13:51 i literally screamed Noooooo
LOL every time the QRcode on screen
Hoping Valve releases a SteamOS for general desktop use so I can dump Windows for good.

fsr only work in windowed mode

Yes, it's like a console
fsr at bottom of quick toggle ui (the xbox button + A) lol

I think your just scratching the surface. The ujust/distrobox stuff makes containers running software as easy as it gets..
What is the advantage of this vs Garuda or Nobara SteamDeck Edition?
Tighter Steam integration and significantly harder for the user to break.
the only problem i've had with bazzite is its fedora
Pardon my ignorance, but what's wrong with fedora?
@@LeftyPencil i do not know how to use rpm
I've never ever done games. DOOM was the last game I played. Cuts down on hardware costs. Whats the big deal.
Testing shows kde has better performance for gaming then gnome
PC gaming is expensive, isnt it? even those windows/steam handheld device. that kind of justifies sony PS5 route. 😁
No pc gaming is not expensive. In fact you can buy cheap hardware and you get more game discounts than playstation.
Ps5 is nice because it still has physical copies and no online requirements for most games
if you just game, dont care about quality/fps and dont care about being future proof... sure, get the ps5
Why don't you do stuff for average linux Users like linux Mint? Arch is too complicated for average people.

I had a PC that is built that had a similar situation with chimera, B550M 5700x 7800xt. Nobara had no issues and ran great out of the box.
I don't get games..... I just dont.

Could have installed windows and launched into big picture mode. What is this mess with borderless and full-screen on linux.
I've never had an issue with borderless and fullscreen lol
