The 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
SPARKLE Intel Arc A770 TITAN OC Edition, 16GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, TORN Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA770T-16GOC
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
XIt works great if your GPU is nvidia
XIf not then the answer ranges from "no" to "nooooooooooooooooooooooo"
XSometimes things might work
XBut it's a roll a d20 wisdom save while on a rowboat while skiing down a train track if things work
CWith or without rebooting?
Kwith
Kimage switch
Kbetween nvidia & base
CGotcha, thought so
Kbase will support NVK, nvidia will continue to be proprietary
Jmain, don't say base, people will get confused. 
Chah, right...
CI 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
CBonus points if I manage to get a job at AMD to fund that desktop lol
CRX 6650 XT, or the regular rx 6600 xt
CMSI 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 
Hshould 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)

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

COfftopic, 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)
CSo... the Ally, after I brushed off the idea of getting it... it's kinda becoming very compelling
KWouldn't the OLED Steam Deck be cheaper?
KOr are you wanting the newer cpu?
CThere's no official distribution of the Steam Deck on Mexico (shocking, I know)
KOh, weird. I had no idea
