Bgaming is a weird island far from those areas and it's really excellent that it's catching on there
Aarent like 99% server run on mostly linux lol
Byep!
KNot for 3D rendering necessarily no. CUDA+Iray is often used on Windows for that
Bpixar's whole pipeline is linux
KSure you can do it all in Linux, but that basically means all blender all the time.
Bif valve were just boosting linux as hard as they can, they'd promote godot
Bgodot vs unity/unreal is a big OS battlefront
KIs it even a battle? Pretty sure zero AAA studios are using godot. Might be wrong, but I'd be shocked.
Bzero AAA titles use godot.
Bit's a battle because more indies are in the last few years
Bif big games started getting made with godot, that would have a trickle-down effect for native linux support for the titles
KEhh... native Linux support is kind of dead
Kcause Proton is too good
Kso why bother? Just do windows and make sure proton (well, steam deck) works.
K(from the perspective of devs that is at least)
VI don't think it is, games are still getting Native Linux ports.
VBut it's still comparatively small.
KLess than used to
Kand it was small even then
VOnly recent ones I know of are Rimworld and BeamNG.drive
KThese days though it's easier just to make sure it works on Steam Deck via proton and call it a day. No one is porting games to Linux anymore like Loki or Iculus used to do either so far as I know.
VIt's a shame because BeamNG's Linux port is actually alright
VIt's buggy but the performance difference is drastic
TIs VRR broken? It’s not working with my ally x
BI think you've hit on the reason why I think games devs themselves using an engine that runs on Linux itself is important
BUnity is a C#-first experience
Gok so the hardware acceleration option didn't work and uh ujust update is broken
it's doing nothing at all
it's doing nothing at all
Gmaybe because I ran an update through steam deck client?
LUpdating in game mode should be the same as in desktop
Bit might be running a background update still
Bgame mode starts the update process
Btwo at once is dwarf fortress style fun
GYeah decided to do it in the terminal my diagnosis was correct on that
Gnonetheless doesn't seem to be hardware acceleration related the issue
Gnewish to linux - when you first install Bazzite or get an update that includes a new kernel, and the boot screen says it's updating kargs, what does that mean? what is a karg and why does that need to happen?
Gjust curious
Akernel argument
Aits updating the kernel command line
GI'll still try updating bazzite but if that doesn't resolve it something is off
Gwhat is that? how is it different from the kernel itself?
Aits the parameters you pass to the kernel
Gas in, all the mods and things bazzite has added?
Glike scheduling and stuff?
Ano, essentially settings that make your device work better
Aas for why it takes this much time
Aits due to the technology bazzite uses, not the kernel
Gright - so like settings unique to my hardware
KIt used to take a comically long time for kargs to update
Kbut I've noticed it's gotten faster
