That number is listed in game as a total available, and how much is used by the graphics from that. So…no. I found the way that solves it, and now it displays the full amount, though.
Performance is worse than alternatives, and there are some features that work on Windows but they have said they won’t support them on Linux. So, AMD is still unrivaled on Linux.
Damn, I was hoping to migrate my last windows PC to Linux using Bazzite-nvidia. I guess I won’t. My main rig (AMD) is running Manjaro, my Homelab is on Fedora Server, but I have a 3080TI on Windows 10… damn.
I tried this specifically to get Alan Wake 2 to work (with the 3080ti) and it is a less than spectacular experience as most of the effects on the game (shadowy figures, screen distortions, Ray Tracing) do not work properly in comparison to running on windows.
In bazzite-nvidia’s defense, it does just “work” but only to the extent that the Nvidia driver works. This is still more of nvidias issue and less bazzite-nvidia. Regular Bazzite with a 5700xt worked very well.
Are there any distro besides steamis (and by extension chimera) that’s support hdr? Or do you just need to launch the game in full screen so it takes over?
I built a couple of HTPCs like 7 years ago or something. Kaby Lake iGPU had support for 4k HDR so I figured I would use the i3 7100T and Linux would add HDR support soon (I was using LibreELEC which was a minimal Linux that just boots into Kodi). Welp still waiting…
Last time i used slim laptop for gaming it’s generate heat too much like i want to melt iceberg in north pole with it & climate activist start protesting arround me
I don’t say it’s bad but it’s not for me, in the end it’s nice for some people that need lightweight portable laptops especially if you work on long shift
Nice to see Slimbook here. It’s a Spanish company. I bought slimbook zero some years ago and it’s working really well. I would thinking about getting proper laptop/dekstop from them but in the end I went with Vant, another Spanish company. Vant is not as pretty but has better prices.
Had a issue with my zero just recently (motherboard battery run out), I posted on their forum and had a replay in a matter of hours with a link to disassembly video. I talked to them in Spanish but from what I see they reply in English without issues.
A “Linux gaming laptop” is just any “gaming” laptop you install Linux on. Ideally use AMD graphics, but even NVIDIA should work fine if you set up the graphics switching properly.
Honestly though, I don’t see a point in a “gaming” laptop these days, just get a Steam Deck and a business class laptop and be done with it. My ThinkPad E495 is still going strong years later, and it might outlive my Steam Deck. I’d much rather replace a cheaper Steam Deck instead of a gaming laptop when it stops keeping up with games.
I’m saying two devices can be cheaper than one, like in my specific example of a simple laptop ($500) and a Steam Deck ($500) vs a gaming laptop ($1k+). The simple laptop will also remain viable longer than the gaming laptop since it only needs to handle simple use cases, so you’d save money over time.
If you need games that don’t work on the Steam Deck (e.g. MP games with anti-cheat), then look into the rest of the handheld PC market. You should be able to use Steam Link to play from the laptop, or just connect it to a USB hub and play on a monitor for KB+mouse usage. I rarely play MP games, handheld mode works for most games.
This keeps the laptop light and inexpensive, which is fantastic for my primary use of my laptop, to get work done on the go.
