Ai've been considering upgrading to Arc
ZYeah basically
Etried a few months back on Bazzite-Deck and the only issue i had is that Proton and hardware accelerated raytracing doesnt exist yet
ZThough not sure if there is a way to apply the same rule to multiple matching app/window names
ERT seems to be locked to linux native vulkan
Await so Proton doesn't work on Arc?
Aoh
ZProbably there is, but never tried by myself
Ayeah i don't care about raytracing lmao
ERT doesnt work on Proton with arc
Ethats the ONLY thing ive found
Ai'm getting the A580 or A750 in the near future once my 1650 starts to struggle (it will)
Ei cant say i ran into any other issues
Eidk where you can buy but in germany the sparkle a750 is cheaper than the sparkle a580
Eand as far as my personal intel (pun intended) goes, sparkle is the best AIB so far
ZGlad to help
Ebut yeah i've been running Bazzite-KDE for a while now on my main workstation rig
Etrying the occasional game
Emostly doing hardware acceleration outside of games
Ei dont really run into any quirks other than pytorch requiring a specific intel library
Ai'm tempted to get a new M.2 SSD to dualboot
Ei cannot speak for arc on windows
Efor that you'd need to look at the most recent GN video probably
Eand i'll say
Efor CAD nvidia probably still wins
Ethank you anyway rei
Elikely getting the stadia controller for my ever growing collection
Etrue
Ei can recommend not using windows at all more
Ebut if you must you must
Aif Affinity Photo/Designer get ported to Linux i'm switching
Ei want apple for those things tbh
Emac mini to remote into seems like a great idea
Ai just installed the 6 month free trial
Hfrom what ive seen affinity is a bit more willing to run in wine despite the lack of resources put into compatibility
Hhopefully there's going to be a push to make that work at some point
H:^

Htbh like i wouldn't be coping about that as hard if the gimp devteam were to show they'd be ok with inviting more workpower for it
Hbut it seems that even changing the name from an awful innuendo is next to impossible
H:/
Hlike compared to krita and blender, gimp devs seem to be actively defensive about the current state of things
SThey haven't used catalyst drivers since like 2015 though? Personally I haven't had any issues with my Rx 470 or my 6650xt both on windows and Linux. Maybe they sucked back then tho? lol
KGimp is like CinePaint I think
Hwell yeah, im just saying old amd drivers were dogshit lol
Hlike anybody who's ever had the misfortune of interacting with catalyst will agree
Hwhich, funnily enough, applies to windows and linux both
Hthey were just all around horrible on all platforms
Hnavi were already on the new driver architecture
Hit was just relatively new and unstable because of that
