Nvidia 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

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/6/24, 11:10 PM

well the intel arc part of intel drivers specifically. but i heard it improved too

Kamquat•1/6/24, 11:11 PM

The Xe driver just got merged, should it should be replacing i915 in the next major kernel version if I recall rightly.

Geechan•1/6/24, 11:11 PM

The Arc drivers are definitely very usable on Linux

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/6/24, 11:11 PM

if thats the case then yeah i would use intel dGPUs over Nvidia if given the choice now lol

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/6/24, 11:11 PM

i know nvk is in rapid development now

Geechan•1/6/24, 11:11 PM

Either Arc or a 6000 series AMD GPU I'd say

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/6/24, 11:11 PM

but it still may take a while before it's very mature

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/6/24, 11:12 PM

although impressive progress with nvk

Kamquat•1/6/24, 11:13 PM

I'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

yeah 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

Except anyone who games will still use the Nvidia blob, no? So it won't matter much except for non-gaming folks

Geechan•1/6/24, 11:14 PM

I upgraded to a 7900 XTX primarily for the VRAM for AI stuff myself

Kamquat•1/6/24, 11:14 PM

yeah that's sadly outside my justifiable price range at the moment

Geechan•1/6/24, 11:15 PM

Don't blame you. Still much better than Nvidia though, hah

j0rge•1/6/24, 11:15 PM

yeah but you'll just flip to the nvidia image. But if you're buying today I'd just go AMD.

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/6/24, 11:16 PM

ublue plans to have a just recipe to switch between nvk --> closed source one (and vice versa)

Kamquat•1/6/24, 11:16 PM

Nice

Geechan•1/6/24, 11:17 PM

I hope Nvidia will one day be in a state where I won't have to second think using them. NVK is very promising

KKyle Gospo Unfortunate, ok I'll update that script to handle gnome properly

Aru•1/6/24, 11:22 PM

I'm not sure if Deck-Gnome has the same issue with the upside down screen on LGO desktop mode.

HikariKnight•1/6/24, 11:53 PM

joysticks at the top, the grip and its shape

Xe•1/6/24, 11:53 PM

Very 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.

Xe•1/6/24, 11:55 PM

However bazzite does boot!

Xe•1/6/24, 11:56 PM

The deck UI runs at about 20 FPS though

It works great if your GPU is nvidia

Xe•1/6/24, 11:59 PM

If not then the answer ranges from "no" to "nooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Xe•1/7/24, 12:00 AM

Sometimes things might work

ChaiQi•1/7/24, 12:06 AM

Gotcha, thought so

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 12:06 AM

base will support NVK, nvidia will continue to be proprietary

j0rge•1/7/24, 12:06 AM

main, don't say base, people will get confused.

ChaiQi•1/7/24, 12:06 AM

hah, right...

ChaiQi•1/7/24, 12:13 AM

I am very much looking forward to fully working VRR, explicit sync, WINE-Wayland, native and hopefully less buggy Nvidia drivers, and building an all-AMD desktop

ChaiQi•1/7/24, 12:13 AM

Bonus points if I manage to get a job at AMD to fund that desktop lol

GGeechan The Arc drivers are definitely very usable on Linux

CharlieBros•1/7/24, 12:17 AM

MSI is launching the Claw which has an ARC iGPU, really ballsy move considering all the issues ARC is having with it's drivers, more specifically with Windows, but running it with bazzite, well

HikariKnight•1/7/24, 12:19 AM

should mention the rx6650xt tends to be cheaper than the rx6600xt and is just a better version of the rx6600xt (if you care about mac VM support, i know the rx6600xt will work, not sure about rx6650xt)

GitHub

feat: Use HHD on both Legion & Ally · ublue-os/bazzite@0ec76eb

chore: Further setup script cleanup
fix(legion): Correct rotation on KDE Wayland (Thanks d3Xt3r)

CharlieBros•1/7/24, 12:22 AM

Offtopic, but one of the two big sale seasons in Mexico starts in May, and the Ally is already down to 13000 mexican rubles (770 USD), the legion is in most places 18000 mexican rupees (1070 USD)

CharlieBros•1/7/24, 12:22 AM

So... the Ally, after I brushed off the idea of getting it... it's kinda becoming very compelling

Kamquat•1/7/24, 12:31 AM

Wouldn't the OLED Steam Deck be cheaper?
