Kit's downloading flatpaks
Kinternet again, no progress bar
Kit'll finish
SShould I log into steam already?
Kno reason you can't
Kjust leave that in the background and use the system how you like
SWhat do the ! Mean on the desktop icons
Tthey'll go away when you click them once, it's a permisson thing
Tdont go into game mode ofc yet
Tfinish the portal and all that first
SYeah I'm just waiting
SShould I press install Emudeck?
Tif you want it, yea
Twait
Toh
Ton thedesktop
Tyeah if you want to set it up now
Tit will end up using more of your bandwidth though
Tso while that's installing other things, emudeck will also update on firstboot and if you install emulators from there now, then you know more internet usage lol
SSo stuff like decky loader how do I use it on a dualshock 4?
BDo you mean access the QAM (quick access menu that opens on the right hand side of the screen), if so, on gaming mode press PS button and X button together
BFrom there you can access decky loader plugins etc but only in gaming mode or steam big picture
SYeah with the frame rate control
BYeah that combo would let you access that area. If you're ever using a keyboard, it's ctrl+2
Bctrl+1 is the regular steam menu on the left
SYeah thanks I switched to Linux for a more unified gaming experience lol instead of opening 107 different launchers for everything
BWell I've been on Bazzite since August/September last year. Haven't had any major troubles. Very happy with it. Completed many games, steam, non-steam and emulated
SAlso I heard Linux can improve CPU performance a bit is that true?
KYes, especially in game mode
KYou're not running an entire desktop in the background
SSo id get better yuzu/Cemu performance?
KIt's quite possible
SAny essential decky loader plugins y'all recommend?
BFor Cemu specifically, i have been comparing Proton version vs Appimage vs flatpak for the current 2.0.63 build. I found Proton version with emudeck works great and is stable. If you need better battery optimisation you can try the appimage or flatpak versions but i found appimage crashed with Smash 4. For me, Flatpak has been the best for battery + performance but required adding to steam and setting up controllers/gyro through there
KTab Master is great
KCSS Loader
BIf you like organising your library-
yeah what kyle said
yeah what kyle said
KProtonDB Badges
KWithout question
KThere's also a controller tools plug-in you might want
KShows you the battery life of your Bluetooth controllers
SI keep my controllers plugged in, 90% of the time but that would be nice.
SIm excited to explore Linux but also a bit scared
B
KI tried it all the way back in 2006
KIt's a much better experience now, you're going to have some brick walls you run into but it's just going to be the learning curve you have to go through, Windows has the same thing but people have just forgotten
SI'm gonna be studying computer science too in college in like 9 months
KNice
SDamn you're probably way older than me
BMain area where linux can be awkward for me is audio. Occasionally i have to manually toggle the audio device selection in gamemode to get it to pickup a new audio device. Another time an app may accidentally get muted while in desktop mode and you will have to go back on there to unmute it
