Sorry, I have a Radeon rx580, no experience with Nvidia yet.
Thank you. I will look into it!
Unless you want to play recent multiplayer AAA titles your steam library will work with little to no tinkering.
There is a website Check My Deck, which is originally designed for steam deck users, but linking your steam library you can check how many of your games will run out of the box, and how many require some additional steps on Linux/Proton.
For the ones not on the list you can check ProtonDB for guides and opinions from other Linux users.
Thank you. I have a relatively big GoG library, so lutris is already installed :)
So far loving it!
That is for later, but definetly will do some experimenting with the deck.
I dont know you but it means a lot :)
Thank you! Yes, it needs to be enabled there. Its basically just 3 extra clicks and the game is good to go :)
Just dont ask which distro your buddy thinks is the best. Thats some Matrix level red pill bullshit you are not ready for.
Thats like an ancient feature I am now used to :)
Yaay, I can spend another 500 hours comfortably having no idea what am I doing with my builds!
As soon as I find the time will do the same thing. Congrats!
I use wired in-ear headphones while cycling for convenience of not needing to charge so they are always ready to go when I go for a ride. Also I wear my phone in the back pocket of my jersey, so its an extra string holding my device in case it would fall out (never happened, but just in case). I use some half-decent BT headphones for media consumption when home.
Just ordered a pair of wired in-ear headphone from their website for like 15 USD with free worldwide shipping and they sound amazing.
While they have products in the thousands, most their headphones cost under 100 AFAIK
Of course regardless the phone will be 100% overpriced.
Mapped the back button for the minimap, show/hide loot, inventory and one for instant sell (Shift + left click).
Changed the right touch pad as mouse + left click for menus.
Set the left touchpad to work as a D-pad so I have 4 additional buttons there. So far left-right is the map zoom and up is the loot filter, down is the skills menu, but I’m thinking of making it into a virtual menu to include more stuff.
Cant comment on online mode so far, but suspend on offline mode works perfectly. I had the game running for 3 days like that and only quit when there was a new patch released :)
Last Epoch - on a gen 1 SD it runs great. Set for 40 fps, medium details, about 2 hours of battery life. Levelling my first character, a Falconer. It’s an offline char for now because of the server issues, but it’s fine, since I’m not planning multiplayer anytime soon, first I want to enjoy the story and learn all the mechanics without distractions.
The game is really good, and looks beautiful. Maybe the only negative is the default controller layout is not perfect, but nothing critical. With a little fine tuning it works like a charm.
Recently switched to Linux Mint.
There are really just a couple extra steps to set up Linux for gaming. In my opinion it takes less time to install proton ge, Lurtis or Heroic than downloading and installing GPU drivers on windows:)
For 90% I just download the game via Steam and enable Proton GE (if its not native) and play it straight away.
In some cases if Im not happy with performance I check the Proton DB page to see what settings/proton version/launch commands other people are using and that solves it 9 out of 10.
If you have GoG, Uplay, Epic, etc games just use Heroic or Lutris. Again, first time setup can take 20-30 min using a video tutorial, but after that its all good to go.
