So much fucking this. So many people these days are straight up just useless at their jobs, but companies and managers tend to fall into some sort of toxic positivity bullshit and it’s just so hard to give negative feedback to someone notoriously bad at their job somehow. An advice would be to just keep it honest and expect some sort of improvement, otherwise they may try their luck somewhere else.

The game optimization is garbage and it sucks on desktop PCs too while also looking like shit.

SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, 0 A.D, Xonotic, Sonic RoboBlast…

Uhm, btw ^^

Even SD is too big for me after all. Would be nice to have a handheld with the exact power as SteamDeck, but compact

I hope ANV gets better over time

Steam home console now makes more sense than ever given that the current console generation is sort of ass. A box with gigantic library of games from day 1, supporting all modern TV features, new titles all the time guaranteed, flexibility, not being locked down to just one ecosystem… And if it’s comparable to PS5/Xbox it can get a lot of traction, just like Steam Deck.

If there anything related to amdgpu in output of sudo dmesg?

I’ve got the same gpu and never seen this

Maybe it’s playing a video in the background while on the menu? Then it could be a problem with codecs. Have you tried GE-Proton by any chance? It has media-foundation codecs builtin

See that, GoG? This can be done, it doesn’t hurt and there are already tools that can be used to build it without all too much effort.

Heroic Games Launcher supports GoG pretty well. You can install it with Flatpak using Discover in desktop mode.

When you login to GoG and install a game, you will be able to “Add it to Steam” (top-right hamburger menu in game’s view) and it should then be available in your “Non-steam games” in gaming mode.

Other options are Bottles and Lutris

The thing with trying different distros drives me a bit nuts. If you’re getting consistently bad results across so many different ones, then you can see how distros don’t matter all that much after all. What really matters is your hw config combined with software config. Stop trying different distros expecting that some of them will maybe do something differently, stick to one and try to figure out the problem or ask for help. Only resort to other distro if you know that it will make something easier (eg provide more up to date packages).

You said what’s your hw configuration, but not much about how you handle NVIDIA drivers. By default, your GPU will run on open drivers built in Linux kernel called Nouveau, combined with OpenGL (and for your GPU that’s it for now) implemented in Mesa. This is enough for basic things to work, such as the desktop, video playback, office applications, but not necessarily games. For that you need the proprietary NVIDIA drivers. Check manual of your currently used distro for how to get those drivers in place. For your GPU even the newest drivers are available (560), so it’s good if your distro offers that. For drivers older than 555 series, use X11 session instead of Wayland.

Oh, the article is written by Jason Evanghelo. Of course, he’s a giant Linux shill working at Forbes :D

Still great to see such press

Do other games run in general when using Vulkan API? (most modern games on Linux run with Vulkan, whether it’s Wine or native). What’s your NVIDIA driver version? Did you even install akmod-nvidia?

Why would display protocol matter here? Makes no sense to me.

I updated quite some time age and it was completely painless, why wasting time reinstalling?

As a Pole, I want Kaliningrad to be renamed to Królewiec (or Kralovec for that matter), all Russians deported and the land split evenly for Czechs and Slovaks so that they finally get their sea access.
