Can't hurt to try latest, been a couple kernel updates since then

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 8:55 PM

releases are more or less major footnotes and not when updates actually come out

arongkatzOP•6/10/24, 8:56 PM

ok ill do it today, i think what messed up my sleep function on the 8840 was the simpledeckytdp plugin, since once removed it started working so...

arongkatzOP•6/10/24, 8:56 PM

ill let you know how it goes

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 8:56 PM

appreciate it

So, first time I've tried HDR on KDE Desktop in a long time and to my surprise... the colors and everything are just working. Before it was not doing so well.

LJMPRO•6/10/24, 9:10 PM

Played a little Dark and Darker to really set the mood and man did the colors pop.

LJMPRO•6/10/24, 9:11 PM

At least they seemed to!

ChaiQi•6/10/24, 9:13 PM

Nice!

Kid•6/10/24, 9:20 PM

Hey, I'm thinking about building a PC for my friend, I still got a 2070 super and I think Bazzite would be perfect. I just don't have any experience with Nvidia on Linux. . .

Kid•6/10/24, 9:21 PM

do you think Bazzite would be fine with an nividia gpu?

j0rge•6/10/24, 9:22 PM

sure, I'd wait a bit though

Kid•6/10/24, 9:22 PM

for the e....sync stuff?

j0rge•6/10/24, 9:22 PM

yeah

Kid•6/10/24, 9:25 PM

Alright

Damn.. I don't know if I should give him bazzite or windows

hes coming from Xbox and a console like PC would be perfect.
He doesn't know much about PCs... and having an Appstore is perfect + the steam deck like gamemode.

But I bet he wants to download his xbox games . . . . . .

j0rge•6/10/24, 9:25 PM

if you care about your friend and he's on an nvidia card don't recommend an entirely new OS

Kid•6/10/24, 9:26 PM

haha okay, good call.

Jj0rge if you care about your friend and he's on an nvidia card don't recommend an enti...

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:26 PM

this, plus they come from xbox, they might want to use the xbox stuff from windows (if they know or learn about them)

Kid•6/10/24, 9:26 PM

Bazzite and just steam gamemode and I tell him to press the update button weekly would be fine ...

But my worries are the nvidia + xobx/ms stuff

Kid•6/10/24, 9:27 PM

he still got the last gen xbox btw

Kid•6/10/24, 9:27 PM

but f*ckery with lutris would be too much for him

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:27 PM

i would honestly sit down with them and learn what they expect to do with it and decide on OS from that, and if you go with bazzite then teach them how to know if a game is supposed to work on linux or not

Kasher_CS•6/10/24, 9:28 PM

Bazzite autoupdates

Kid•6/10/24, 9:28 PM

but not the gamemode version, right?

HHikariKnight i would honestly sit down with them and learn what they expect to do with it and...

Kid•6/10/24, 9:29 PM

Yep, I guess I'll do this

KKid but not the gamemode version, right?

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:30 PM

gamemode doesnt work on nvidia

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:31 PM

and honestly get your friends input, if they want to go unga bunga press button and not think if the game has anticheat or something then put them on windows

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:33 PM

if they are willing to do some reasearch before buying/playing a game (a simple search) then they might be willing to try linux first.

plus if you put the games on a btrfs drive they can be used on windows anyway if they end up moving to windows later

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:34 PM

shoehorning linux into someones life almost never ends well (even though we want to)

HHikariKnight gamemode doesnt work on nvidia

Kid•6/10/24, 9:37 PM

sh*t, didn't know that. Ty. This is such a great feature, especially for a Console like PC.

HHikariKnight if they are willing to do some reasearch before buying/playing a game (a simple ...

Kid•6/10/24, 9:40 PM

Yea. I will tell him that.

He said he won't buy next gen consoles and wants to hop on PC, because Xbox is basically PC and more and more sony games are on PC now. So the best of both worlds :D

HikariKnight•6/10/24, 9:43 PM

yeah just make sure you get to find out what your friends expectations are.
if they are like "man i want to be able to play call of duty" then you know they will need windows no matter what if they want any of the newer ones (i belive some older ones work on linux but dont quote me on that and im too lazy to check)
