Ksome cards can be disagreeable w/ BTRFS. The alternative is you've filled your write cache and it needs a bit to catch up before it can continue. This can happen with slow cards
YHi Guys, I'm looking for opinions on whether or not giving Bazzite the larger share of my disk partition is worth it. I'm using a Legion Go and read that the Lossless Scaling application (Windows only) is a gamechanger FPS-wise. Would it make more sense to mainly stick with Windows for that reason alone, only sideloading a few indies to Bazzite, or is the impact of Lossless Scaling not as big as mentioned and are there other compelling reasons to go with Bazzite as my main OS?
CHappens on slower SSDs and flash drives too. Both with most of the drives I have and also 1tb SSD I use this does happen
KI've actually been curious about this -- what does Lossless scaling offer that gamescope itself doesn't?
KIt looks like both have FSR, NIS, and Integer scaling
Kis there more?
YIt has something resembling FSR3 built in, resulting in framegeneration and doubling fps.
KInteresting, wonder how they pulled that off
Kah, something proprietary -- that's cool
Kexplains how it's working without engine data
YI guess so. I won't even begin to pretend that I understand the technical aspect of it lol
KI suppose on Bazzite's end the closest right now are the mods that convert DLSS to FSR3 w/ frame gen
AIt is and is not pulling data at the same time
YBut it has me wondering if it alone is reason enough to keep Windows as my main OS...
AIt works for all games
Kthose have engine data so I suspect they'd do a better job
Kbut of course it requires the game have DLSS in the first place
Kor, just have FSR3
AI had a GitHub with the spec
ACan't find it right now
ARead? Use first then tell us
AWe're on Linux we don't know lmao
AI also heard it feels a bit rubber bandey
Ki mean that's frame gen in general, you're doubling the framerate but getting the same or worse input latency
Kdefinitely cool tech on a handheld
Kdon't think I'd want it on a desktop tho
AFor me I use Linux because linux
AI can't speak for the perspective of an average gamer
AAlso gyro is a big deal to me
AIt really feels incredible now
AUsing just the stick feels like going back to the stone age
AOnce you use it you can't go back
CI use Linux because I stumbled upon a comment of microsoft's privacy violations and said "Fuck this shit" and been using Linux fulltime since. Also liteally most stuff just works perfectly fine
@YungJizzle Also Legion Go user here and I have not even made it past Windows 11 setup screen, literally installed Bazzite as soon as it asked for a Microsoft account

AYeah also that, once you're used to the system doing what you want it to and not asking for account credentials or suggesting news stories
ADebloating is a big deal in win but not linux
AStuff just doesn't autostart
CYou can have it your own and ngl, KDE honestly is quite light on the system too and is fully featured too
YYeah, those are all compelling reasons to consider Bazzite. But in the end, it's a gaming device for me on which I want the best gaming experience I guess. I'm testing the Lossless Scaling as we speak.
GIt's up to each individual to decide which tool (OS) works best for them in the end. If you have a feature in Windows you cannot live with, then keep the tool around. In my opinion, you have to have a reason to want to change over to Linux. I think all of us here are on Linux for one reason or another that pushed us away from Windows. It certainly doesn't help to install Bazzite and see how well it works for you. Only then can you make an informed decision.
GThere might be things in Bazzite that truly make you want to keep it around, for instance, that will outweigh the frame gen feature
Calso in the news of Apex and the whole fallout w/ that:
Linux is also more secure because you can play games that need anti-cheats without giving them full access to your entire system, big W there. Even if Apex stuff isn't EAC fault, for Genshin Impact for example their anti-cheat exploit literally gave you DMA access from userspace on Windows

GAs for my personal reasons: the primary reason I use Linux is because I want to actually own my computer and not have it run by a soulless corporation that's only interested in collecting your data
RGitHub
A script which takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord - JustTemmie/steam-presence
Rhas anyone used this?
KI did yeah, used both EXT4 and BTRFS
Rnot sure how to use it on bazzite, it needs systemd or cron to work
CBazzite got systemd
Roh ok
Ri was trying to install it in distrobox
Ryeah it installed fine on bazzite
