no, and you don't want to do that

Kyle Gospo•5/16/24, 5:20 PM

keep them seaprate, duperemove will eliminate the drive use concern of that model

Kyle Gospo•5/16/24, 5:20 PM

even steam itself uses separate copies of the EA app for every EA game

I've put bazzite on my smaller drive because it's my first linux distro and didn't know if I was going to enjoy or able to make it work, but since it's better than windows for my laptop, is there a way to partition my other drive so a part of it is available on bazzite?

If you shrink Windows it's often good to do that in Windows, sometimes it freaks out if you shrink it's partition with Linux. You could probably make a new btrfs partition with the free space with Bazzite in Gparted or KDE Partition Manager. Apparently there is a way to share the btrfs partition with Bazzite and Windows if you really wanted to.

Renard•5/16/24, 5:27 PM

what is btrfs partition?

Renard•5/16/24, 5:27 PM

I'm a complete linux noob

Renard•5/16/24, 5:27 PM

I know nothing related to dual OS

wolfyreload•5/16/24, 5:28 PM

Its the filesystem that Bazzite uses by default. Windows has Fat32, exfat, NTFS for example.

Renard•5/16/24, 5:36 PM

Oh okay

Renard•5/16/24, 5:42 PM

I'm on the secret world legends protondb page, and I see this, but I understand none of it

Renard•5/16/24, 5:42 PM

Renard•5/16/24, 5:42 PM

I can either use protonGE (I don't know how to set it up) or protontricks with all these things after

Renard•5/16/24, 5:43 PM

What's protontricks?

You should be able to download one of them with protonplus oor protonup-qt

Renard•5/16/24, 5:45 PM

I started installing it with protonplus already

Renard•5/16/24, 5:45 PM

I'll see if it appears in the proton list in steam game settings

Renard•5/16/24, 5:46 PM

Will try your method if it doesn"t show up

RRenard I started installing it with protonplus already

Brunvik•5/16/24, 5:47 PM

It should, since protonplus and protonup-qt do the same thing

wolfyreload•5/16/24, 5:47 PM

Ah good

wolfyreload•5/16/24, 5:49 PM

Usually go with no tinkering unless the game has issues

This is the video I watched before installing bazzite

YouTubeMike's Tech Tips

Bazzite for gaming, initial impressions and setup

In this video, I will be going through what I like about Bazzite and how it has exceeded my expectations and where other gaming distros fall short.

After that I jump into a small demo on how to setup Steam and Lutris and I end off with how to install other software using the discover app.

He told about the x11 vs wayland, the steam play and some other things

That was quite useful

Vosian•5/16/24, 5:51 PM

I've installed Sunshine on my home destkop. I had to rebase from Aurora to Bazzite, and I had to play around with the Moonlight settings a bit, but it is running quite nicely now. Even over a VPN it is quite nice.

Renard•5/16/24, 5:51 PM

Looks like it's working, firs time I launched the game it gave me an error stating the updater encountered an issue, and now the launcher is downloading the game correctly

Renard•5/16/24, 5:51 PM

Thanks for your help

Renard•5/16/24, 5:51 PM

And for later

Renard•5/16/24, 5:52 PM

protontricks is useful isn't it? should I set it up or I can ignore it for now?

Renard•5/16/24, 5:53 PM

(If a game is on the steamDeck, does it mean it should run with no issue on bazzite?)
