a cheaper lower power version of the 7900 XT from what I read. But I have no idea if folks are running it without any issue on bazzite
KSo far as I'm aware whatever Intel or AMD CPU you decide to go with will be fine as well.
KIt's all the same 'driver' on Linux. It'll be fine. The only time there's ever issues for AMD is when a card is brand freaking new and needs support added to the kernel/mesa. But the 7000 series are established enough you don't have to worry about that
MI have a 7900 xtx in my htpc. I love not having to even consider settings.
DDoes anyone know why I’m getting an error for flatpaks when trying to install bazzite on my oled steam deck?
"Failed to install flatpaks-error-quark: Aborted due to failure (while pulling runtime/org.gnome.platform/ x86_64/45 from remote Anaconda: Error reading from file descriptor:input/output error (4)."
"Failed to install flatpaks-error-quark: Aborted due to failure (while pulling runtime/org.gnome.platform/ x86_64/45 from remote Anaconda: Error reading from file descriptor:input/output error (4)."
Jthat's a big boy haha, out of my budget for sure.
Mpeople joke about the 4090 so I was not prepared for the 7900xtx to be just as large lol
Jany thoughts about 7700 vs 7700X and 7800X3D for that particular card?
Jryzen 7 8700F seems super discounted too compared to others... I totally am in the dark with AMD cpus tho
AWhat sort of performance are you looking for?
JI mean I have a 4k TV but am find with upscaled 1080p (if that's even a possibility). Honestly I'm coming from Deck on my TV so I'm just trying to get like PS5 level graphics
Jhaha
APS5 graphics is basically last gen AMD. If you want a build on a budget, you could probably go with something like a 5600x + 6700XT
Jok thanks, I'll poke around more, appreciate you guys. Any other things to look out for as far as compatability? For example mother boards or chipsets to stay away from? Best/worst things for wifi or bluetooth to be mindful of?
Jthank you, good info
Jreally good to know. Same with bluetooth then?
F
FWhen your OS makes you do the thing they tell everyone not to do ever.
OI have the GRE, it works fine for games
Joh good
OSteamVR has been finicky on every platform but I'm still not sure if that's drivers or SteamVR or something else
Owas finicky on the 6700XT as well so idk, could just be my 3900X isn't ideal for VR, which I already know
MIf you can find a last gen 6950 xt they were 2.5 slots. They are solid and will be a decent upgrade over 6700xt for not much more.
7800xt is basically the same performance
7800xt is basically the same performance
Jok yeah I'm looking at something around the price of a 6700XT now more or less, I'll take a look at the 6950 xt too
BI got lucky and picked up a new 6950 xt for $500 several months ago. That card sold out in an instant lol
Jyeah you can't even find them anymore
TWould having the ui scale all the way to the left in game mode be 100% scaling
TI like 1:1 pixels
TAnd i sit close to my display
JAre there particular motherboard brands that the linux gaming community has best luck with?
Jamy to avoid?
MWell msi doesn't prevent a secureboot failure from stopping boot. Maybe that was finally stopped.
Honestly haven't really had issues with anything
Honestly haven't really had issues with anything
TI figured it out there's 10 notches like in KDE, so 2 ticks is 100 percent
TAll the way to the left is 50
AAvoid gigabyte
ABut no gigabyte is anecdotal from my own personal experience
Jnoted. Also for an M4 motherboard, how do I filter out non-Intel wifi motherboards? Is there a particular chipset to target that's best for linux gaming?
TI think my PC going to sleep is what causes gamescope issues so I just disabled sleep and dimming the display
TI'll turn it off before work if I need to
TPlus I want to be able to play videos on it while I sleep and it going to sleep is annoying
Jok cool thanks
Vonly thing i'll say about a motherboard, is i honestly recommend one with a error readout. even if it's just leds and not numbers/letters
Vit'll save you so much headache when troubleshooting if you know where to start looking for an error
Oagreed, so helpful
Othe existence of error readouts also generally means a little more attention to detail was probably paid to the design
Vthe number/letter ones are obviously better but the LED ones will at least let you know if something is cpu, motherboard, ram, or pcie related normally
Vbeen pretty happy with asrock stuff. asus makes some decent hardware but their rma track record is abysmal and were raked by gamer's nexus for it. no opinion on msi other than i have some of their nvme drives that are just micron drives with their sticker slapped on em (lol).
Omy MSI board is probably fine
Obut then again I've been having an issue lately where my system freezes before POST unless it's a cold boot
WDoes it seem possible that xbox game pass games could ever be played directly on linux rather than streamed? Is it a matter of libraries/etc being supported, or is there some encryption schemes or something else that would keep it from ever happening?
WI let my game pass subscription expire since I couldn't play any of it directly, and game streaming seems mostly poor.
