Planning on migrating over to water-cooling once again but need to figure out runs / radiator placements in my Jonsplus i100 again as this CPU is another beast.
Mostly playing Risk of Rain / Rimworld so not really pushing the system that hard.
See image when I was running my system as 9900k / 3070 under water.
It’s crazy how good this is, from a software engineering perspective I have no idea how they pulled this off. Morrowind is such a complex game, not sure how they reverse engineered it.
You could go down the GPU Passthrough option to a VM. If you have integrated and and another GPU you could use LookingGlass and never even have to leave the Linux instance. Single passthrough is what i use to run Gamepass as you do get some good games Day one.
I recently loaded Fire Emblem Engage, super mario oddosy, donkey kong tropical freeze, and both zelda BOTW and TOTK. I was running them on my steam deck so performance was so-so, some games better than others, all of them definitely playable though (except super mario sunshine, but that was one I tried probably almost a year ago, yuzu is better now)
emulation still proves to be the best way to play.
Ty! it wont go even further here I guess, but my bank account seems to be happy it seems to be finished for a while. Or maybe I need another chair?.. Argh here we go again
I’m gaming on a NUC 11 Extreme kit with a Sapphire Pulse Radeon 6700 XT running ChimeraOS.
Currently it is doing really well, though some games appear to not be using anti-aliasing and I’m not sure why. But aside from that I am super impressed with how well Proton and Lutris have come along!
One issue I’ve run into with immutable Linux distros is getting the xone drivers for the Xbox wireless dongle to work. Not having that is a no go for me and gaming.
It is currently not possible. Games installed through GamePass have some kind of Windows compatibility layer which cannot be run by any wine or proton versions. At least not yet.
Yep, for steamdeck your options are to install windows or to stream. Greenlight is a good linux application that handles the streaming better than the website imo. It can also do remote play if you have an Xbox, which generally has much lower input latency.
I’m not super sure what exactly causes the XWayland funkiness on Wayland with NVIDIA’s driver. The Phoronix article mentions “DMA-BUF v4 Wayland protocol support”
This is the root cause for what you’re experiencing, and isn’t improved by any Wayland protocol support. It has entirely to do with the implicit sync stack that exists within Xwayland and nVidia’s lack of support for implicit sync entirely. nVidia proposed an explicit sync method in another merge request that was shot down by the X devs as they “don’t solve anything for the Mesa driver” by supporting explicit sync as a concept. Explicit sync is a concept that has less of a performance penalty, and other vendors support the notion of switching to it, but nVidia’s hostile relationship with the X developers and FOSS as a whole has caused roadblocks at present where the projects don’t wish to collaborate with nVidia’s proposals.
So to summarize, this is exclusively an Xwayland issue, nVidia and the developers have disagreed as to how to proceed, and neither side shows any signs of flinching. nVidia is hard nosed about implicit sync and refuses to implement it in their driver for various reasons, and the Xwayland devs are being hard nosed and absolutely refuse to accept nVidia’s merge requests for adding explicit sync support for reasons relating to what I can tell is basically “bad blood” between the groups. Even if the project accepts explicit sync, nVidia still has to add the feature to their release pipeline, which would put it past the 545 release some months down the road. Again, even if everyone agreed effective today, we still wouldn’t see resolution on this until early 2024 at the soonest. Xwayland will remain broken for nVidia users basically for all time, at the present rate of development. Our applications will all be ported to Wayland before this gets fixed.
Sorry for the soapbox moment, but, it has been incredibly frustrating to see this all play out.
No, I’m grateful for the rant. It’s been driving me nuts and with the apps I need to use for work not supporting Wayland whatsoever it basically makes me stuck on X, which sucks because Wayland feels much better for me other than XWayland.
It’s a really bad issue for me, it makes XWayland completely unusable. Like, characters appear in different order as I’m typing. The cursor sometimes looks like it’s a character behind. It’s obnoxious that such a huge bug is stuck in politics.
