Ok, i’ll give you that

Border walls are pointless (look at the southern US border they climb over, through, and even under), but a beautiful hedge running from coast to coast would be nice

Time to call our citizens back and close the border, or at the very least mark the US as one of the most dangerous, if not most dangerous, places in the world. Cancel that deal they just signed with that scammy US co (saw the article earlier but forget where it was).

I’ll look into this tonight, ty

As a VR user, some of my games work as well as the flat games do (my god did proton do a damn good job on the flat games to the point I keep forgetting what distro I am using until I look at the “start/task bar”) but some VR games refuse to load, others the visuals are extremely weird or darker than on windows (sharp light lines from ray tracing I assume or maybe dlss stuff), and some don’t have the 1080p crispness I am used to on the monitor/in video playback from windows. I am confident these issues will be addressed as soon as they are able, hopefully before 10 is killed in the back alley, til then it’s a duel boot for me.

Yes, I spelled it the way I did ;)

Has flatpak/snap fixed the screen lease issue for vr yet? Had to install the version off steam for vr when I set it up

I’m using the “official” Nvidia driver and Kubuntu, due to VR, and have not had any issues with video. Still wish I’d gone AMD though

This is an issue for me. I have a G13 and cannot find drivers to get it to work, I’m talking to program the buttons so they do something as right now it does nothing but display G13 on the screen. Of the 2 options I have found/been told about g13d and g13gui neither will compile to work on my system

Yeah, make sure you get steam from the steam site not flat pack and if you use Nvidia, use the official Nvidia driver, also make sure you select compatibility in steam. Sometimes you need a different Proton version. Turn settings down and the fps will normalize.

I just saw that suggestion from someone else, will try that if wlx doesn’t work out, ty

Wlx, that’s the one he suggested. I have it in a folder in steam and will be testing sometime soon. Will check out envision as well, ty

Steam/SteamVR is where all my games are located, I like to have 1 launcher. Tho I cannot interact with the monitors from inside steamvr, yet, if i click on the window it closes unlike in windows where I control OBS and other stuff, also only shows 1 of my 2 monitors. BUT, when I get a chance the creator of Desktop+ that I use on windows suggested a linux app that does most of what his app does so that may give me the pc control I need since I do most everything in vr for streaming.

edit: I think some of my issue may be the poor old Ryzen 7 3800 I am using vs the RTX 4070ti super. The Ryzen 7 is having issues with a few games now, especially the VR mod ones like Satisfactory

So far, with the 2 games I have had a chance to try, other than having to lower the settings to bottom, they load and play if a little stuttery. With how Proton has improved by leaps and bounds I have no reason to believe it won’t keep improving at near the same pace. It is just that darn translation layer combined with the very high requirements of VR that needs to be overcome. If enough linux users go on the vr games and lament there is no linux native option we may get movement on that end. The flat games run so smooth right now I forget which OS I am using, compared to 2 years ago. I even have the disadvantage of an Nvidia card, at least the official driver is better meeting our requirements, shoulda gone AMD…

Then VR games will work at better than min specs. Trying hard to get off windows, mostly there. Except when streaming VR games, Kubuntu is my daily driver. All my flat games (like 8 of them) work flawlessly now that cloud is syncing. Just need drivers for one device and software for another but may just have to deal with the loss of a left hand kb, and 2 buttons on trackball.

I did get some useful looking apps recommended not long ago, not 1 will compile on my os and I am way to tired at the end of the work day to read read and read some more(I used to do more complex stuff 20 yrs ago but, well, I forgot most of what I knew. Why is “make” looking to github instead of the directory I am in?

Proton is is coming along great, I used to support Cedega to play win games before.

Shhh, don’t give away our secrets

ZoneAlarm was so upset with me that day…

That is close to my thought, “Hey asshole, you gotta sleep sometime…”

Fords an absolute asshole,

and he is OUR asshole, for now (no telling if/when he will flip-flop, let’s hope he sticks to it)

We are going to bring production back to the US! First step, remove Bidens attempt to bring production back to US!
