well turning it on doesnt seem to do anything, bios is in drd mode. windows pc doesnt pick anything
well turning it on doesnt seem to do anything, bios is in drd mode. windows pc doesnt pick anything up though when connected to usb
KWindows never worked, no? Their repo says it's missing drivers
KI'll test as soon as I can
ᕲno i mean on my desktop
ᕲnot picking up the deck
ᕲso idk
KYeah I do too
KDeckMTP says it doesn't work when connected to a Windows pc
KIn the repo
ᕲi thought it means booting windows wont have working usb port
KNaw not my understanding, few others in the deck discord had that problem too
KRegardless I'll double check with a Linux host today
KJust in case
KAnd pass that along to sentry for fsync if I find something missing
�Sorry if this is too off topic, but what’s the state of Nvidia on Linux? Is it still garbage?
Or really I guess to be more specific about my goals, if I want to upgrade from my RX580 to something that can run Alan Wake II without looking like a slide show, is there something I can get that also isn’t trash on Linux but also wouldn’t be a downgrade in performance from the 8GB RX 580… without spending more than maybe $200?

KIntel Arc gpu maybe
DHow about RX 6700?
GNvidia is pretty good nowadays, but it's still not as plug and play as AMD is (for instance, their newest driver is having issues with Wayland right now.) If you want a headache-free experience, go with AMD still.
As for GPUs, perhaps look at the RX 6600 XT? If you're at 1080p, it's about 50% more performance and you can easily find it for around 200 USD nowadays

Kalso an option. No idea about 6600Xt pricing
EIt's... I can't think of a better word than NVIDIA. Not as bad as it was, but still not quite there. I would go with AMD. Much less of a headache
TNvidia isn't exactly garbage, but their drivers introduce weird bugs, their wayland support is not very good, and gamescope and waydroid do not work properly with them. AMD is king. Although I'm seeing ARC brought up, but iirc their drivers on linux are still lacking
Twell the intel arc part of intel drivers specifically. but i heard it improved too
KThe Xe driver just got merged, should it should be replacing i915 in the next major kernel version if I recall rightly.
GThe Arc drivers are definitely very usable on Linux
Tif thats the case then yeah i would use intel dGPUs over Nvidia if given the choice now lol
Ti know nvk is in rapid development now
GEither Arc or a 6000 series AMD GPU I'd say
Tbut it still may take a while before it's very mature
Talthough impressive progress with nvk
KI'd almost swap my 6700xt for this just for more VRAM, but I don't think Intel + AI on Linux is really a thing (I'd want the extra ram for Stablediffusion, my 12GB is a bottleneck) https://www.amazon.com/Sparkle-ThermalSync-Cooling-Backplate-SA770T-16GOC/dp/B0CHN7YZX1

Jyeah the next kernel will be a red letter day for nvidia users. it won't be as performant, but at least your basic desktop stuff will stop being garbo
GNo doubt it's the best deal for 16 GB of VRAM at the moment
KExcept anyone who games will still use the Nvidia blob, no? So it won't matter much except for non-gaming folks
GI upgraded to a 7900 XTX primarily for the VRAM for AI stuff myself
Kyeah that's sadly outside my justifiable price range at the moment
GDon't blame you. Still much better than Nvidia though, hah
Jyeah but you'll just flip to the nvidia image. But if you're buying today I'd just go AMD.
Tublue plans to have a just recipe to switch between nvk --> closed source one (and vice versa)
KNice
GI hope Nvidia will one day be in a state where I won't have to second think using them. NVK is very promising
AI'm not sure if Deck-Gnome has the same issue with the upside down screen on LGO desktop mode.
Awho can help me with logitech g29 dont work for me some odd reason?
AI vaguely remember the upside down issue being a non-issue on deck gnome, but I tested deck gnome a few months ago
CLike both joysticks at the top?
COooh, weird device, how's performance?
Hjoysticks at the top, the grip and its shape
XVery bad, it's a terrible device and I regret purchasing it. It has difficulty doing anything above SNES emulation, but not because of the hardware. It's because the sticks kill your hands when you try to use them.
XHowever bazzite does boot!
XThe deck UI runs at about 20 FPS though
CUntil the 7600XT in 3 weeks
