Plasma 6.1 discord screenshare is super broken, rolling back fixed my issues. Still a huge noob on this, but is there a way to ensure when installing bazzite that you use a specific release snapshot of bazzite? Or install an older version of Plasma, just in case I need to reinstall my OS for any reason?

You can pin a working install.

Additionally there is the

performance is generally quite a bit less than what i had on arch, but i got it fixed. i had weird framedrops in desktop use while doing literally anything, which only got fixed by typing in

sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:22 AM

just wanted to let you guys know, as im not sure if it shouldve been there already or not

M2•6/23/24, 2:23 AM

That was added to testing.

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:24 AM

extremely weird. havent seen that in ujust --choose and nvidia-smi told me it was still enabled

Is it really Plasma or is it Wayland

hotdog•6/23/24, 2:24 AM

Wayland has issues with screenshare

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:25 AM

aside from these starting issues though, works as expected as far as i can see

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:25 AM

no additional issues aside from the known ones (like firefox crashing)

Camm•6/23/24, 2:27 AM

I'm having issues with two major crashes intermittently, one kernel panics the machine into a reboot, the other freezes on desktop. I think the first is related to my Marvell AQtion 10Gbit NIC and seems to occur when downloading, the second I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm not finding anything in log files, any suggestions on how to get better logs to diagnose with?

Is there a way to make the wallpaper engine work? Or some similar software?

Camm•6/23/24, 2:30 AM

There's a plugin for KDE to use Wallpaper Engine, if you are using GNOME instead you are out of luck with Hanabie gnome extension being the closest option I think.

Renard•6/23/24, 2:36 AM

I just thought about something, do every game played on Linux gets his directx calls translated to vulkan? Is that what proton does?

Renard•6/23/24, 2:36 AM

Or is that at least one of the things it does

HHKCORREA Is there a way to make the wallpaper engine work? Or some similar software?

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:37 AM

install wallpaper engine via steam so its workshop content is downloaded, then in the area where you can pick wallpapers (directly in KDE), theres a wallpaper engine option. Point it to your steam install, and itll pick up the workshop content

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:37 AM

but as far as i know not every wallpaper will work, some may look broken

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:37 AM

its basically just piggybacking on the workshop content of wallpaper engine, so you dont have to run the actual software

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:38 AM

basically yea

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:38 AM

some games may not do that, depending on their DirectX version (i believe DX9+ gets automatically translated, but im not sure about DX<9

Renard•6/23/24, 2:38 AM

So, I remember being able to choose Vulkan as rendering API in red dead redemption 2, therefore, would it be possible and benefic to disable that "translation" and set Vulkan in-game?

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:39 AM

yup, that works. im just not sure if its faster or not

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:39 AM

i dont have that particular game so i havent tested it

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:39 AM

but for example Baldurs Gate 3's own Vulkan performs worse than translating it via proton

TTsubajashi (ツバジャシ)some games may not do that, depending on their DirectX version (i believe DX9+ g...

Renard•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

It is I think, but using another thing, like vkd3d for dx10+ I guess and vkvoodoo or smth for dx9 and less

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

dxvk and vkd3d are the tools used yea

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

dxvk definitely does 9 10 11, VKD3D does 12

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

im just unsure if d8vk got merged into it already yet

Renard•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

There is an option in Lutris about vkvoodoo or something near this word that said "used for dx9 and earlier" when you hover it

Renard•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

I'm not on my pc so I'm not really precise sorry

matt_schwartz•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

it’s been deprecated as of earlier this year iirc

Renard•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

Oh okay

Renard•6/23/24, 2:42 AM

I was curious about these kind of things, I kinda got lost in YouTube and stumbled upon a video talking about game optimisations, how GPU works etc.

Renard•6/23/24, 2:42 AM

And this question came to mind

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

its definitely a case by case basis in that instance

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

generally in my experience the games own variants perform worse than its proton equivalent

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

could be different depending on the hardware and the game of course

Renard•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

Yeah because like every tool existing, it has to be used properly, if the dev implementation is horrid, the translation may be better and the other way around

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

i mean some games perform generally better here too, although everything is translated in some form

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

for example i have much higher FPS in FFXIV on linux compared to windows on the same rig

Renard•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

I remember having better performance using Vulkan when I was on windows, that's why I was wondering

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

but in the same breath, i have around 10FPS worse in Cyberpunk on linux

TTsubajashi (ツバジャシ)for example i have much higher FPS in FFXIV on linux compared to windows on the ...

Renard•6/23/24, 2:45 AM

I have better FPS everywhere on my side using linux

Renard•6/23/24, 2:45 AM

But I think it's because my laptop has a CPU bottleneck, and Linux consuming less resource than windows gives more room for games to work

Renard•6/23/24, 2:46 AM

I don't know if that can be an explanation, I clearly don't know enough about the subject, but it's my guess

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:48 AM

just to make sure, i believe that its already a known issue that gpu acceleration doesnt work in xwayland on 555?

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 2:48 AM

i thought i could "workaround" the firefox issue by forcing it to run on XWayland, but it just outputs a mess

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)•6/23/24, 3:02 AM

little other question on the side: does anyone know how to get plasmas workspace behaviour to only work on the main display and not on secondary ones?

HHKCORREA Is there a way to make the wallpaper engine work? Or some similar software?

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 3:10 AM

Wallpaper engine support for KDE is pre-installed
