Next year should be 100% Linux for me. Steam is dropping support for Windows 7 at the end of this year, and I don’t have any other newer Windows PC to run Steam on.
Nor do you want them. Windows 10 was pretty amazing when it was released, but now it’s essentially just adware and spyware. They’ve added no new features for the benefit of the consumer, and have added thousands of changes for their snooping and ad-serving.
I think it’s a lot of the same game on both, but some I only played on the deck. Some I switched back to desktop for sections where inconsistent frame rate was wrecking me like GoW Valkyries. Dave the diver was entirely deck. Also have a laptop but vulkan support is incomplete on haswell so some games were launched and crashed if they didn’t have opengl.
Same as you friend, in fact the Deck helped me to realise that the vast majority of my games play fine on Linux doing nothing but enabling Steam Play for all other titles in Settings. That’s literally all I had to do.
I know it’s definitely not the same experience for others but I’m glad I could make the 100% jump to Linux. Especially with Cosmic on the way for PopOS!
Funny thing is that the game would probably work close to perfect if the devs just switched on the linux support in EAC. Sadly, it’s just isn’t worth for the devs. Linux user pool is too small and those who would play would generate new bug reports due to unconventional setup running through a compatibility layer.
Phoronix is going to be flooded with almost identical headlines like this if they make an article every time the (brand-new) NVK Mesa driver gets a commit that improves performance somewhere
I think I've read somewhere that FSR3 has trouble when there is a too low base of "real" frames it has to work with. So don't expect it to do miracles in every scenario.
Hopefully something like this can be included in a future version of Wine/Proton/Proton-GE. Proton-GE doesn't have an issue page. I think one would have to reach out via Discord. I don't use Discord though.
Just Linux for me…I haven’t used windows since windows 7. I’m probably going to sell my steam deck though because it mostly just sits in the case on top of my computer (where I usually play since my computer is plugged into my 50 inch bedroom TV. But the stream deck is nice and fun to play with.
Sorry but multiboxing with a compatibility layer is pure cancer, for some reason proton just keeps gobbling up resources until the clients eventually become unplayable and need to be restarted.
alt tab doesn't work for switching and also MINIMIZE ON FOCUS LOSS? fuck you linux, absolutely fuck you.
