What you say lines up with my main machine (AM4+2070Super) and is encouraging. Was thinking about trying PopOS and/or Endeavour, and completely forgot about Bazzite. Thank you so much for the response!

I’m on my way to linux, my main is still win10 for now but my pi4b 8gb is my linux plaything while I learn. That being said…

Anyone see SteamOS for PC happening? Is it still “limited” to AMD cpu/GPU? Sooner or later? Is it already possible? Somewhat out of the loop, sorry if this has been asked time and time again.

True! I wanted it on the server side so it would push with automodpack for connecting clients, some on really old pcs or underpowered laptops.

It works wonders after a couple of tests too. Meesa happy.

Was reading about sodium and some sodium addon just yesterday while playing with the idea of a server ran on a spare pi4b… Wonder if it would help with a 2-6 player server. I dont expect much of the pi4b (currently running piOS but I’ll dabble with any linux/gnu). I may just give sodium a go after all.
