bear , in Radeon on Ubuntu?

AMD GPUs are fantastic on Linux. I’m running an MSI 6800XT and the only flaw is the the RGB lighting isn’t properly exposed so I can’t turn it off. Everything else just works and I’ve never had to give it a single thought since buying it. I just put it in and started playing my games.

I have an RX 6800 (before I had a GTX 1080) and Linux works pretty well with AMD. You don’t even need proprietary drivers.

I only installed 1 proprietary library to enable ROCM but keeping the stock amd kernel GPU driver.

Generally speaking amd is favored over nvidia on linux because it’s driver lives in the kernel (more free), better wayland support (this is changing tho) and not having to install a driver manually or an installing a restricted driver from the package manager. I’ve been running my 6900xt for a couple of year and it’s been great. The only downside of amd is if you need/want some of the nvidia tech like rtx and cuda. Here are some older benchmarks from when the 7900 xt was coming out www.phoronix.com/review/rx7900xt-rx7900xtx-linux

It’s been working flawlessly for me. Brand new cards can be a little bit buggy at the beginning as they release before the drivers are quite ready, but my Vega 64 and RX 570 have been absolutely flawless the last 4-5 years. AMD’s fine wine reputation is especially true on Linux.

I’ve always had issues with NVIDIA’s drivers and basically never with AMD. I can’t recall when is the last time I had driver-related graphical issues, but I sure can with NVIDIA. The only time I’ve had issues with my AMD cards is when I bought the Vega 64 at launch and had to run a dev branch kernel and mesa for it to work properly, but once that made its way to mainline and release kernels I haven’t had to do that since.

NeroAngra OP ,

That’s great to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

karot9100 , in Please help with distro decision

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

strongarm , in Baldurs Gate 3 on Steam Deck

There was a video when the Steam Deck was announced with the Larian CEO playing on a Steam Deck and being blown away by it, he mentioned that they would make sure it rund via proton on the deck.

Also BG3 was one of the games that was used in the video marketing and screen shots for the Steam Deck so I’m confident Valve will be putting their best efforts to work with Larian on this

sway

fraydabson OP , in steamtinkerlaunch mo2 game shortcut

I figured it out! I had stl all wrong. Once I set it up as a compatibility tool for fallout now I can launch fallout from steam and it works great.

d_k_bo , (edited ) in Team Fortress 2 crashing

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!

Lumbercrack , in What desktop environments are you using?

Tried XFCE, KDE and GNOME but settled on GNOME.

XFCE struggled with window management especially when gaming. KDE is too messy and inconsistent. GNOME is just easy, and my wife can use it without asking questions.

Pungentstentch , in Dark Souls 3 stuck on "Launching"

Do you have mangohud on our globally enabled?

EviTRea OP ,

I don’t know what that is but I had it in launch option and it does nothing as well

IUsedTo , in What desktop environments are you using?

KDE. It doesn’t get in the way.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever , in Dark Souls 3 stuck on "Launching"

I ran into this with Boltgun (and Remnant earlier in the week). Other symptoms were Steam not actually closing unless I kill -9d it.

From debugging, clearing my download cache got me to the point where it “launched” but nothing happened. Whereas Remnant launched normally. And steam closed normally the first time and then grabbed a crap ton of (presumably) shaders and redistributables. And now I am back to the previous symptoms.

So I assume something is funky with the current version of steam that is corrupting the download cache and I am not going to care until at least the next steam client update.

EviTRea OP ,

okay, guess I’ll wait

Try Steam stable vs beta perhaps?

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.

scutiger , in Dark Souls 3 stuck on "Launching"

Try manually selecting the latest version of Proton in the game’s compatibility settings, currently 8.0-3. That fixed the issue for me.

EviTRea OP ,

Tried every version down to 6.3-8, no version changes anything.
