@Mumbling Hugo liking your vids! I'm using Win11 but deciding whether to move to Fedora 39 for more security/privacy. I'd use QEMU and Win11 VMs w/ GPU passthrough to run games and video editing software. Just wondering: 1) would silverblue be good for this or should I really use workstation?, 2) do you think it's worth it over just staying with Win11?
Thanks for your support! I wandered when you use windows with gpu pass through, do you login with your Microsoft account and chrome browser with your google account? If so there is no more privacy than just using windows, both companies can still collect your data and sell it, it might be more secure if you browse some shady websites using Linux but only depending on your use case, maybe tor over a vpn and/or using a vps to setup wireguard. But if you just use windows in a vm with daily tasks, I don’t see a lot of benefits in privacy with all the hustle. As for silver blue vs workstation, you can start with workstation, it has more support and solutions online when you encounter issues, silverblue might be more “secure” and “bulletproof” as an immutable system, but it is not using dnf as the package manager and sometimes the compatibility issues can not be solved using the conventional way, I ran into issues with my wifi card in my laptop recently on bazzite os video, bazzite is based on silverblue, I had to jump through hoops to solve it.
Very good point, but the f38 second time is so much worse than f37, so I'm keeping the first time for a better reference when making it. Need to think of a better going forward
@@MumblingHugo Look at how Gamer's Nexus benchmark. They publish their methodology on their site. People have already got this down to a science, so you can just implement what they already do and adapt it for Linux.
Check out the video called from zero to gamer in my channel, it has all the popular distribution setup from system installation to Nvidia, it includes fedora
Love your videos, keep grinding 👍
Thanks

Just to let you know : Native versions of the newer Tomb raider games (2013, shadow and rise) are not playable anymore due to missing libraries.
I need something new now
What about using the flatpak version of Steam?
Edit: Native Tomb Raider games still work on Steam Flatpak.
I think the second or later runs are more representative of real world usage as you won't be playing on a cool laptop.

Cool I will take a look, thanks
I have always had problems with Fedora and have tried others like Nobara and still have problems.
please make a vedio on how to setup nvidia on it (optimus laptop)

hey Hugo do you know how to limit games frame rate to 60 fps or less ?
Not really no
@@MumblingHugo ok 👍
