Good evening guys, So I've run into a weird issue when importing my steam libraries, etc.
Basically I have three drives, My 240 gig sata ssd for bazzite. A 2tb nvme for windows 11, and a 5tb external hard drive for media and larger games. The latter two are ntfs while the sata ssd is butterfs. I did read the documentation and I understand that importing ntfs game libraries is a bad idea bc incompatibility but maybe this is a good example of why specifically?
For some reason my copy of Proton 9.0 installed on my external hard disk and it's stuck asking for it to be updated. When I try that, It mentions that there is a disk write error and that proton is using zero bytes in the game folder. I also can't uninstall it or move it elsewhere?
I've also tried switching proton versions in the steam compatibility settings menu with no dice since it's still relying on the 9.0 version to some extent.

Check if its mounted read only, sometimes Linux mounts Windows drives read only

iirc proton tries to mount folders like z:/ and c:/ when it's starting up the game, when you using ntfs, the colon character is an illegal character in ntfs, so you have to do a bunch of hacks to get proton to work correctly with ntfs. Just in general Ntfs and Linux don't worked that well together. So while it's definately possible to use ntfs for your games it's more of a hassle than what it's worth imo.

Nah Intel was fine back then, kernel+mesa. go.

AMD was still wonky cause iirc AMD's open source driver didn't come out until like 2015.

I could never get games to run if reading them from a Windows partition. It was a huge headache and I think the only game that ever worked was something Valve developed like Dota 2. You really do just need to bite the bullet and have all your games on linux-native partitions - sorry

Games Joyce•7/21/24, 10:48 AM

The silver lining is you should be able to copy the data over from your windows partitions to linux ones, and it'll all survive the move just fine

Games Joyce•7/21/24, 10:48 AM

so you shouldn't need to redownload

radeon was utter garbage tbh

halva•7/21/24, 11:59 AM

catalyst drivers are absolutely the biggest piece of dogshit there has ever been

Kamquat•7/21/24, 12:01 PM

Yeah I stuck to Intel graphics back then and just gamed on console. (or windows)

Crono•7/21/24, 12:26 PM

If anyone wants a good benchmark to test scx_lavd 1% lows in

:testing

:testing

, Witcher 3 DX12 in Novigrad is probably your best bet

Crono•7/21/24, 12:26 PM

Shit's unrunnable

Crono•7/21/24, 12:28 PM

I don't think even an X3D chip can run it without frametime spikes by default

Apex•7/21/24, 12:47 PM

I finally put bazzite on my GPD win mini as I kept having blue screen issues on the included copy of windows 11

Apex•7/21/24, 12:47 PM

I should've done this ages ago

Apex•7/21/24, 12:47 PM

Sleep/resume actually works

Apex•7/21/24, 12:48 PM

VRR is working, fan curves are working seriously guys TREMENDOUS job here

Apex•7/21/24, 12:48 PM

It's so nice to be able to close my unit, slip it in my pocket and pick back up where I was playing

Froggyman [R5 7600X RX9070XT]•7/21/24, 1:24 PM

I'm trying to connect from my deck to my PC

halva•7/21/24, 1:24 PM

Froggyman [R5 7600X RX9070XT]•7/21/24, 1:25 PM

But on deck I get a black screen.

Hhalva i mean, what is your pc running

halva•7/21/24, 1:25 PM

steam link on the receiving end should work just fine

Froggyman [R5 7600X RX9070XT]•7/21/24, 1:26 PM

Nawg it does not work.

What do you mean?
Linux? Wayland
The first descendant :p :rylo:

halva•7/21/24, 1:27 PM

if that's the case, your best bet is using sunshine and moonlight, they do support wayland properly

Froggyman [R5 7600X RX9070XT]•7/21/24, 1:28 PM

Makes sense.

Thank you!

halva•7/21/24, 1:28 PM

yeh np

halva•7/21/24, 1:29 PM

valve dont really seem to care about streaming at this point, so it's safe to assume it will remain broken forever

Froggyman [R5 7600X RX9070XT]•7/21/24, 1:29 PM

:pepefacepalm:

There's gotta be a solution for Wayland streaming down the road.

Proton also uses symbolic links, which NTFS can support but it is a bit weird. It could be because of the illegal characters; I was under the impression it was also because of symlinks usage.
