Hello all. I am a relatively new Linux user coming back from Windows. I just now heard of this OS and I am a gamer. Why should I try this out?

it's pretty much as close to the steamos experience as you can get without sacrificing desktop usability

no update fussing, no unexplainable breakages that happen to you in particular and nobody else, always fresh software versions

Pez•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

pros: you hopefully won't nuke your install running commands you got from chatgpt

Tray•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

some stuttering, some applications hang, and no gamemode if u have nvidia

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

Bazzite and ublue are great for a no-fuss maintenance-free system

TTray some stuttering, some applications hang, and no gamemode if u have nvidia

halva•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

that's just linux in general lol

TTray some stuttering, some applications hang, and no gamemode if u have nvidia

GrimRaptorOP•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

I have Nvidia

halva•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

gamemode doesn't bode well with nvidia

TTray some stuttering, some applications hang, and no gamemode if u have nvidia

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:26 AM

The former two should only be true if you don't read our read me

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:27 AM

Nvidia's 555 drivers are coming soon which alleviate a lot of Wayland issues, too

GrimRaptorOP•6/6/24, 2:27 AM

Now a question about a good VM that can run something like Autodesk inventor or AutoCAD

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:28 AM

You'd want virtmanager/QEMU for that if you need GPU passthrough. It's installable with a single command, ujust setup-virtualizationujust setup-virtualization

KKyle Gospo The former two should only be true if you don't read our read me

Tray•6/6/24, 2:29 AM

literally doesn't say anything about it

GGrimRaptor Now a question about a good VM that can run something like Autodesk inventor or ...

halva•6/6/24, 2:29 AM

yeahhh you'll probably need virt-manager, and you'll need to setup gpu passthrough

halva•6/6/24, 2:30 AM

frankly the practicality is questionable

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:30 AM

If you have two GPUs it's quite straightforward

GrimRaptorOP•6/6/24, 2:30 AM

That or dual boot

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:30 AM

Single GPU passthrough is unsupported, but possible depending on your hardware

Tray•6/6/24, 2:31 AM

GPU with apu

:beagle: hellou guys, any one can say if this screen of update take so long time is normal?

MMr Joao1010 :beagle: hellou guys, any one can say if this screen of update take so long time...

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:32 AM

Completely normal

Tray•6/6/24, 2:33 AM

23 hours long or that the time

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:33 AM

It's the time lol

Mr Joao1010•6/6/24, 2:34 AM

i reopen

Mr Joao1010•6/6/24, 2:34 AM

because I left it on this screen for two hours, don't leave it

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:35 AM

Internet speed?

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:36 AM

Also if you have any layered packages it'll take longer

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:36 AM

Not two hours longer though, that's definitely internet

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:36 AM

Normally that process takes at most 20 minutes if you have a decent connection

Mr Joao1010•6/6/24, 2:36 AM

I don't know, at least the discover updates were quick

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:37 AM

Even with layers

Geechan•6/6/24, 2:37 AM

Yea 2 hours is unusually long

Mr Joao1010•6/6/24, 2:42 AM

is not using the internet, at least it doesn't seem like it

Astral•6/6/24, 2:42 AM

Graphics API logos that go hard

Bbdface.Adjust it for how much you'd need out of both OSes

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 2:47 AM

Ok cool thank you! If I want to be able to access the games through both os I had heard that it’s better to have them installed on the btrfs partition which would be the bazzite one right? So in that case I would want a pretty large bazzite partition for games and I’d want my productivity files on the windows partition? Or can I keep the pictures and word documents on the bazzite drive and just access them on the windows os also without issue? Sorry if this should be simpler than I’m making it but I want to be sure I’m doing it right and it’s my first time messing with Linux at all

TTray literally doesn't say anything about it

Be careful with games with both Windows and Linux ports. Trying to change between the two will corrupt the game. If you are trying to install games on an external drive, create two separate Steam Libraries: one for Linux native games, and one for Windows or Proton games

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:53 AM

Or just install native titles to your Linux drive

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:53 AM

And windows titles to the shared one

bdface.•6/6/24, 2:54 AM

Make that drive btrfs, and install winbtrfs on windows

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:54 AM

They also shouldn't corrupt, but they will waste bandwidth switching between the two versions every time you swap OS

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:54 AM

At the very least

bdface.•6/6/24, 2:55 AM

(on a btrfs drive) When I tried switching from a Linux version to a Windows version on Windows, I got some kind of disk error, preventing me from using the game on windows

bdface.•6/6/24, 2:55 AM

This problem didnt exist with NTFS

bdface.•6/6/24, 2:55 AM

But obviously, don't use ntfs with a shared drive

bdface.•6/6/24, 2:55 AM

As the performance on Linux is bad

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:57 AM

And more importantly it's straight up not supported by Valve

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:57 AM

And requires exceptionally shitty workarounds to make functional

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 2:57 AM

Like you make a support thread and I see you're using NTFS, my answer is no

bdface.•6/6/24, 2:58 AM

Spaces, and symlinks as well are problematic too
