Universal Blue

Purpose The purpose of this thread is to show you how to monitor the build progress of our images as we wait for Fedora 40’s release. Since Universal Blue releases every day due to continuous delivery this is mostly just changing some tags around. We’re as excited as you are! Merges are queued up and ready to go, the current plan is to post the...

Shit I thought bob was asking about Fedora, my bad

Cardiac•4/23/24, 12:51 PM

i tried28 games today :

Cardiac•4/23/24, 12:51 PM

26 work as well as on Windows

Cardiac•4/23/24, 12:51 PM

Only Starfield and Dragon's Dogma 2 are significantly behind.

Back in 2020 the Linux kernel added a split-lock detector since when they occur an atomic instruction spanning multiple cache lines and requiring a global bus lock is needed

Cardiac•4/23/24, 12:54 PM

With the Splitlock Detector enabled, I experience a 5 to 10% performance loss in every game. Titles like God of War, Dragon's Dogma 2, Fallout 76, and Lords of the Fallen become unplayable

I believe that this is already disabled in Bazzite

Cardiac•4/23/24, 1:03 PM

I do that by default and haven't checked. I was just saying, it's cool if Bazzite does it.

Cardiac•4/23/24, 1:09 PM

It seems to me that this is the first distro I've seen that considers this.

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:12 PM

How do you guys manage freesync on amd with multiple monitors in wayland kde6? For me, freesync goes all over the place after fullscreen firefox videos or fullscreen games. It somehow converts my desktop to a random framerate number ex. 48, 62, 72. I tried using gamescope to run the games in their own gamescope window, but almost none of my games would even start when setting the gamescope variable for the game through steam. I have disabled freesync on my second monitor, and they have the same 144hz, but the second monitor is 1080p compared to the main monitor being 1440p. Is it fixable or is it more of an issue of waiting for fixes because it's bugged?

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:13 PM

On a sidenote, when I installed bazzite, mangohud wasn't installed. I had to manually layer it on my install. I thought it was supposed to be build-in?

HikariKnight•4/23/24, 1:16 PM

if this was on :testing:testing it might have been dropped for a short while if it caused bazzite to not build so that we could get working test images and it will return, this is why we got testing

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:18 PM

I see, thanks! It is probably some kde6 quirk

HikariKnight•4/23/24, 1:18 PM

no idea why you would need to layer it unless you were using a flatpak (in which case you need the flatpak version which we do not ship)

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:20 PM

Oh! Maybe it was my bad... LOL. I see you guys don't have goverlay enabled by default and I was trying out the shift+f12 default hotkey to view mangohud and it wasn't working

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:20 PM

Maybe it is a good thing to enable goverlay by default in the future?

HikariKnight•4/23/24, 1:21 PM

goverlay broke other things (didnt use it myself) so it was removed, people can layer it themselves if they really needed it

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:21 PM

Ah ok ok

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:22 PM

Is there an alternative to goverlay besides manually editing the mangohud config file?

HikariKnight•4/23/24, 1:22 PM

not that i know of

robinustream•4/23/24, 1:23 PM

Thanks for the info btw

Will bazzite-deck installer do the right thing if I say "delete all partitions"? I figured I should leave the EFI part alone but that seems to have effectively done a factory reset after the reboot after install

Amok•4/23/24, 2:01 PM

Are you doing a fresh install of bazzite-deck or are you dual-booting

Amok•4/23/24, 2:02 PM

Because „delete all partitions“ means basically that, and it will create its own EFI partition automatically if you choose to follow auto-partitioning

iMartyn•4/23/24, 2:02 PM

fresh install, but actually it seems like it is still actually bazzite, it finally finished the post-install update that looked like it was rewriting everything with steamos

Chronus•4/23/24, 2:03 PM

if 40 releases today, do I just "ujust update" or do a fresh install on my Legion GO?

antheas•4/23/24, 2:03 PM

Just update

Amok•4/23/24, 2:03 PM

ujust update

Chronus•4/23/24, 2:03 PM

Thank you Antheas!

ive tried this many times and always fail, but with a single gpu passthrough. been tempted to swap out 5600X with 5700g or similar, but then theres also the thing that some anticheats can detect when theyre running in VMs (which is kinda crazy…)

Mervius•4/23/24, 2:06 PM

Is it possible to pass-through an igpu or does it have to be a dedicated gpu. (granted I couldn't get pass-through for my actual gpu working yesterday either...)

I did manage to add the igpu to the vfio driver

DevilFish303•4/23/24, 2:08 PM

i forget the exact details, been a while since ive tried this. Look up VFIO guides for dgpu

Mervius•4/23/24, 2:08 PM

but didn't get it functional in virt-manager

DevilFish303•4/23/24, 2:09 PM

if you have both igpu and dgpu it should be easy, you need your monitor hooked up to the igpu though or you will lose the display on the host when the dgpu is passed on

Amok•4/23/24, 2:10 PM

ublue folks prepare the images well in advance before the new version of Fedora is released, it’s just gonna take some extra time to test if everything builds correctly and if the resulting image is stable enough for use
