Weird. I use Bazzite which is off of Kinoite and the upgrade from 39 -> 40 was seamless.

I run PopOS on my T450s. Runs like a dream, but probably not considered 'lightweight .
Out of curiosity, any examples? I know for NYC people use Citymapper, but that’s available for most big cities.
Bazzite has been amazing for me!
LACT isn’t a bad stand-in for some of adrenaline’s features, but it obviously doesn’t cover everything.
Hmm that’s not a bad idea. I am running an older setup so I’ll have to see how that fairs while I do normal tasks.
Thanks! It feels good to be back.
Aah okay that makes sense. I wouldn’t mind the extra space.
If that’s turned off, do you know if the game generates and caches shaders as you play? If so, does that also apply to games run outside of Steam?
Currently I’m just playing games like Hunt Showdown and Helldivers.
Yeah I saw that when I was previously running into this, but wasn’t sure if it would leave performance on the table. Also, I’m curious if you could run it once, turn it off so you don’t process them again, and if that would be beneficial for subsequent runs of the game even after updates (assuming not since they’d probably be invalidated).
Performance wise it was better for almost every game I played! I’m more used to Linux because that’s what I use at work, but I don’t have the greatest Internet connection, so that’s why the shader caches suck.
I’ve tried Linux gaming for a good bit but it doesn’t seem like it’s quite there yet. For the games that worked it was amazing! The only other thing that was annoying was the constant downloading for the shader caches basically every day with steam (yes I know they can be disabled). I was using Bazzite for those wondering.
CDK or bust
Any recommendations on tailscale setup? I’ve wanted to do this but have been weary of opening it up to outside my local network. Currently running it all on proxmox.
There are several Signal forks on f-droid that remove the need for Google services iirc.
Ooh I know, but there’s also a few games here and there where anti-cheat doesn’t work on Linux. Yes I know dual-boot like you said but I’m too lazy to switch between both.
I was running Bazzite for several months before I switched back to Windows. Unfortunately for me I have a broadcom wifi adapter, it kept disconnecting every 10-15 minutes, and that doesn’t bode well for gaming. Outside of that I really enjoyed using it! At least my steamdeck counts towards usage of Linux…
Edit: also steam having to download pre-cached shaders almost every time I started up my computer was kind of annoying. I know you can disable that, but then you’re leaving performance on the table iirc.
I mean I’ve been daily driving Linux and more recently Bazzite specifically for games and everything else without issue.
