A quick google tells me that some optiplex can be have their bios reset by having a jumper inserted on 2 pins on the motherboard. And if that fails, pulling the cmos battery might also work.

Besides any concern with speeds, would having a Steam library on a NAS using btrfs? I can't think of any reason why it would be an issue, but figured I'd ask first.

RippsOP•6/8/24, 6:52 AM

mounting using cifs with fstab would probably fastest, but it probablly still be slow as hell

PotatoDos•6/8/24, 6:52 AM

I'm getting display on the intel graphics. I'm so glad I had this spare VGA cable around. No need to reset the bios.

Is it normal to see this freespace error in the updater?
"installing package libva-nvidia-driver..... needs 16KB more space on the /usr/share/doc/libva-nvidia-driver filesystem"

RippsOP•6/8/24, 7:01 AM

I think sometimes the fedora distrobox, when it's being updated, because those files are socketed into the distrobox from the host filesystem as read-only, so when the fedora distrobox tries to update the package it can't overwrite some of the files

Thanks for the help.

Another one joining the Bazzite fray

Astral•6/8/24, 7:32 AM

I'm basically the local bazzite saleswoman of my area now except well, it's free so y know lmao

Vekta•6/8/24, 7:32 AM

I mean to a certain degree you do have to "sell" it to newbies

Astral•6/8/24, 7:32 AM

Yeah

Astral•6/8/24, 7:32 AM

I mean it more from the

Astral•6/8/24, 7:33 AM

You don't sell it for money part

Astral•6/8/24, 7:33 AM

Lmao

Astral•6/8/24, 7:33 AM

But they have used Linux before and were looking at their options before Windows 10 hits EOL so I suggested Bazzite and here we are lmao

Vekta•6/8/24, 7:33 AM

A friend of mine will probably be trying it out soon. I've been sending him screenshots of dozens of games running on it

Vekta•6/8/24, 7:34 AM

my old "gaming" desktop was saved with Bazzite. earned some upgrades ...hopefully it will be up and running for another 10 years

Pez•6/8/24, 7:39 AM

perfect time for it, windows users are very susceptible to screenshots of literally anything else right now

Vekta•6/8/24, 7:40 AM

he's messed around with linux before but he's unsure and didn't know anyone else that used linux. It was kinda funny when he found out I use it (I've known him since high school for years) it was like he found a long lost cousin or something

Pez•6/8/24, 7:40 AM

all it took for one of my friends was telling them it runs GTA IV at double the FPS

Pez•6/8/24, 7:41 AM

i may be a charlatan but it worked

Vekta•6/8/24, 7:41 AM

lol

Vekta•6/8/24, 7:42 AM

tbh this is the first time I've been truly able to see what I cna do with linux. my 1050 non-ti wasn't cutting it. I got to upgrade to a 1650 gddr6 and bazzite has run everthing I've tried at 50 fps+

Pez•6/8/24, 7:48 AM

GTA IV is the killer app

Pez•6/8/24, 7:48 AM

game runs like doodoo ass under windows without installing a bunch of hacks on top

Pez•6/8/24, 7:48 AM

my modest 3060/3600 build can max the game out at 4k with perfectly smooth frametime on linux

Pez•6/8/24, 7:48 AM

and on windows it struggles to keep pace

Pez•6/8/24, 7:49 AM

very funny tbh, makes me wonder how well the game could have run at launch if it wasn't tied to a broken graphics API

char•6/8/24, 8:39 AM

of these handhelds which is the better option for a all-round device that can run steamos/bazzite

GPD Win 4 (2023)
ROG Ally X
Ayaneo Air 1S

halva•6/8/24, 8:46 AM

isn't ally x not even out yet

matt_schwartz•6/8/24, 8:48 AM

the best option from a reliability standpoint is probably the legion go, or at least in how easy it was to get Linux working on it from the beginning

char•6/8/24, 8:48 AM

I am not a fan of the size of it

char•6/8/24, 8:48 AM

if they made a mini version and removed the tablet stuff I would be a fan

Hhalva isn't ally x not even out yet

char•6/8/24, 8:49 AM

yeah but I will think of something to replace it in july

Cchar yeah but I will think of something to replace it in july

halva•6/8/24, 8:49 AM

i mean like nobody knows how well it will run linux lol

char•6/8/24, 8:50 AM

it's the same chipset

char•6/8/24, 8:51 AM

I had the original Ally and barely any issues w it aside from short battery life

char•6/8/24, 8:52 AM

sold it and bought the OLED SD

char•6/8/24, 8:52 AM

horrible decision

char•6/8/24, 8:52 AM

the OLED SD is going back after < 1 day of ownership

char•6/8/24, 8:52 AM

I cannot use it for literally more than 5 minutes

Cchar it's the same chipset

halva•6/8/24, 8:55 AM

yeah but it's rarely the chipset/apu that's the pain point of support lol

char•6/8/24, 8:55 AM

I mean it worked on the original model mostly fine

char•6/8/24, 8:56 AM

and the new model only improves battery capacity, analog sticks and RAM

matt_schwartz•6/8/24, 8:58 AM

when did you get an Ally

matt_schwartz•6/8/24, 8:58 AM

Because let me tell you it was not fine on Linux at launch lmao

matt_schwartz•6/8/24, 8:59 AM

until someone tears one down or asus supplies exact specs with model names it’ll be hard to tell how they work without people with devices in hand first

char•6/8/24, 9:00 AM

like December

char•6/8/24, 9:00 AM

I had it for a few months but the steam deck oled got released and I stupidly fell for the FOMO
