c0m47053 , in Radeon on Ubuntu?

One warning, if you use a display over HDMI, then you might have a bad time with Radeon on Linux. I use an LG C2 TV as my monitor, and there is a bug in the driver that forces it to a crappy ycbcr mode that ruins text clarity. I did try all manner of workarounds like hacking up the EDID profile, but I gave up and went back to Windows for now.

It’s a very specific issue, but a showstopper if it affects you

just_another_person ,

That’s the display advertising a specific function set, not the card, and it has to do with the large panel size and pixel density. If you used a proper monitor I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have that issue.

c0m47053 ,

Ok, then why does the same display work perfectly in windows? The display supports full RGB both 8 and 10 bit uncompressed. There is an open issue for this on the driver gitlab repo.

Don’t monitor shame me please. Also, the pixel density is within 5% of my 27" 1440p monitors.

I have been using Pop-os for a while now. I want to try and switch to arch but i just cant figure it out lol. I really like the feel of pop os tho. I dont use a dock, only the top bar and tiling function and it works great out of the box without having to install tiling window managers and stuff.

Also i’m on a laptop and the battery power manager of pop os works great.

Anyways, pop os has been great for me :D

If it crashes when launching the game:

github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/…/5043

Tl;dr; Use the Flatpak or replace libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">cd "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin/"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rm libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ln -s /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 ./
</span>

If it crashes on VSH maps:

github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/…/5044

Unfortunately, there is no known fix.

Duallight OP ,

Ah, yeah crashes are all on VSH maps so that explains it. Thanks!

shitescalates , in Team Fortress 2 crashing

Been fine for me. I think it crashed once. On vsh I had a problem where I couldn’t punch.

FinancedPizza , in Team Fortress 2 crashing

Yeah it doesn’t run the best in general for me and I have had some crashes but not many.

I switched to just using a window manager two years ago, and I haven’t looked back since. Currently using qtile (WM written and configured in python) and it was pretty straight forward to install/configure. This is the video that made me want to try it out.

I use Gnome because it seemed the most Windows like on the Linux Mint website.

0ddysseus ,

Not trying to start an argument, just curious on your perspective. What makes gnome seem like windows? I really can’t see it myself. For me KDE Neon feels pretty much the same as windows 10 but with more control and customization. Gnome feels kinda more like Android - everything hidden and big ol icons and doesn’t use the whole nested window configuration system

It just seemed to me like the most familiar looking at the preview screenshots on the download page. This and the fact that cinnamon is the most supported by Mint out of the 3.

Arthur_Leywin , in What desktop environments are you using?

Nobara Official. I wanted a KDE look but I did not want KDE itself. If Nobara official didn’t exist I’d just be going with GNOME.

just_another_person , in Strange fullscreen problem with Kalevania

ALT+Enter?

monstoor OP ,

Yes, the first part of the config file reads as follows: “{“account_tracker_service_last_update”:“13334489856807897”,“alternate_error_pages”:{“backup”:true},“announcement_notification_service_first_run_time”:“13334506503682677”,“autocomplete”:{“retention_policy_last_version”:108},“browser”:{“has_seen_welcome_page”:false,“window_placement_popup”:{“bottom”:429,“fullscreen”:false,“left”:4,“maximized”:false,“right”:696,“top”:28,“work_area_bottom”:1170,“work_area_left”:0,“work_area_right”:1920,“work_area_top”:0}},”

I’ve tried changing the window size fields to other values but this seems to make absolutely no difference at all. Alt+Enter has the same effect as I have previously described.

The game appears to be programmed using javascript.

Stiltonfondu , in What desktop environments are you using?

Gnome Wayland mainly.

I’ve been flirting with Hyprland wick seems really nice. I’d fully switch to it if gaming performance was on par with what I get on Gnome.

KDE on my desktop, GNOME on my laptop. I like both, but I like to tinker more on my desktop, where I have good internet and can do a bunch of downloading and customization comfortably at my desk. With my laptop I want it to just work (and I hate KDE’s defaults) so I use a mostly vanilla GNOME. Also has good trackpad integration so that’s a bonus as well.

I did have a heavily kitted out Arch with XFCE on my laptop before, but I reinstalled my OS because something broke and it wouldn’t boot and I couldn’t be bothered to troubleshoot and just wanted a working laptop lol so I installed Endeavour with GNOME and have been happy

tarlitz , in What desktop environments are you using?

Gnome on my desktop and laptop. I use xfce when working in a vm, because it’s a bit lighter (I usually just need a terminal + text editor). I prefer gnome for regular use.

theshatterstone54 , in What desktop environments are you using?

No DE. Currently on DWL, but I’ve used Hyprland, River, Sway, Qtile, SperctWM, BSPWM, XMonad and Awesome (from most recently configured, to the first one I ever used) . I have used both GNOME and KDE at times where I didn’t have anything else on the system yet, I’ve used Cinnamon full time in the beginning, and I use a lot of XFCE apps as a part of my setup, notable examples being Thunar and Ristretto (and I used to use xfce4-screenshooter).

I’ve been using Nobara for the last year on my main gaming computer, it’s been great. Pop_OS is solid too, Ive used it on my laptop for a bit, pretty smooth too.

Most mainline distros will work fine. If you just plan on gaming mostly and want an easy solution, Nobara is really good.

ZeroHora , in GE-Proton8-9 and Wine-GE-Proton8-12 Released
@ZeroHora@lemmy.world avatar

What’s the difference between the GE Proton and GE Wine Proton?

Grass ,

I think proton needs steam to work properly but wine proton has proton patches without steam dependency

ono OP , (edited )

GE-Proton (proton-ge-custom on github) depends on and is built for use only in Steam, alongside Valve’s official Proton releases. When installed, it shows up in Steam’s “compatibility tool” list.

Wine-GE-Proton (wine-ge-custom on github) is a custom version of Wine with some hand-picked patches from Proton’s source code, built to run without Steam, either standalone or with game launchers like Lutris.

Yes, GloriousEggroll is terrible at naming. But he’s doing a good job with functionality, so getting used to his confusing names is worthwhile if you have a need for this stuff. :)

It’s wine-ge-custom, not wine-ge-proton.

wine-ge-custom and proton-ge-custom.

ono OP ,

It’s wine-ge-custom, not wine-ge-proton.

Tell GloriousEggroll. The text you’re trying to correct was copied directly from the release page:

“Wine-GE-Proton8-11 Released”

kogasa ,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, I guess he did call it that. The repo is named wine-ge-custom, as is the AUR package.

ono OP ,

The repo is named wine-ge-custom

Indeed, as already noted in my comment explaining the difference between the two.
