SHow's the user desktop environment experience on AMD gpus? I currently run Nvidia with gnome and it's making me pull my hair out lol. Wayland is just not stable at all for me while x11 is perfect but never wakes from sleep. Willing to go to team red if it means stability
Azero issue here lol, well except some plasma being plasma moment
SI figured as much lol .. nvidia in general just seems God awful on Linux desktop
KDid anyone else hostname change?
LHello everyone, someone try oculink with Bazzite but with AMD cards ? I have an Nvidia and I will perharps switch it
DOn a Lenovo Legion 7 with both integrated and dedicated graphics, both work out of the box as far as AMD is concerned.
Did have a bug of steam games not liking a KDE update and installing MPV and Deluge.
My game weren't displaying over HDMI, showing a blank or frozen screen but, alt-tabbing they were playing in a little tinny window.
Unplugging the HDMI from the laptop, the laptop screen games were fine.
Reinstalling Bazzite fixed the issue. Don't know whether to file that under #JustPlamaThings or user error on that one.

AHDMI 2.1 does not work thanks to HDMI forum. Other than that everything just works. I seriously considered switching back to nivida a couple months ago because I could really use HDMI 2.1 but it really is just copium thinking nvidia is a good experience.
PAs a note to this, I quite literally got a HDMI 2.1 to DP 1.4 adapter yesterday for this reason. Works well so far, VRR also. Haven't tried HDR yet.
PObviously shouldn't have to do this, and technically it's a subpar solution (DP 1.4 is inferior to HDMI 2.1, but thankfully there is DSC, maybe there are also other weird things I haven't noticed yet)
POn another note, I managed to
rm rf my home folder.PI tried to create a
~/.local/shares/fonts folder, and somehow it ended up starting with ~/~. Thought I'd just cd ~ then rm -rf ~, then the rest is history.
RHmmm, the only thing I was missing was the game not running with the enabled mods
RMaybe that vid can help
Ware there any terminal commands to increase performance or improve other aspects of linux? is there a HDR equivalent?
KKDE has HDR
Bazzite usually tries to already have those terminal commands "Preinstalled"

Wok thnx
AI have spent at least $100 on adapters. If they work, some update comes along and breaks them. I've given up. Waiting for rx8000 or nvidia to get it together.
PI've waited about a year until I finally purchased an adapter. Here's the one I went for: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-102101-BLK-Computer-Adapter/dp/B08XFSLWQF
8K Flexibility Across Standards Bridge the gap between 8K DisplayPort and HDMI with the Cable Matters 8K DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. Effortlessly convert a DisplayPort port on a gaming PC or multimedia system to an HDMI connector for a television or monitor. Maintain support for the latest HDMI ...
PWe'll see if it holds up for me, did you try that one as well?
AAmazon doesn't say I bought it.
AFor me VRR jumps around and does not follow FPS.
PFrom what I've read around, this is apparently the "best" one... still have to try HDR though to see if it works properly there.
LIt’s wonderful. Not without its flaws but overall a huge step up from the Nvidia Wayland experience.
PHmm, strange... For me, there was an issue where moving the cursor would increase the refresh rate of the monitor (to max). But it seems to be gone now (unrelated to the adapter).
In general, VRR does seem to follow the FPS fairly decently but again, just got the adapter yesterday so heh.

POn recommendation, I'm moving some questions here from #bazzite-help 
PWhat's the "proper" way to install/update mesa-git on
bazzite-arch distrobox? I installed the Gnome variant, then used paru mesa-git, selected aur/mesa-git (this was 1) and said "yes" to all the conflicts. For example:KI think its ideal
Note that you don't want to use bazzite-arch on bazzite most of the time

PI think I should also install
(there seems to be a mismatch of versions)
lib32-mesa-git too, because running pacman -Q | grep -i mesa I get:(there seems to be a mismatch of versions)
PHmm... why is that, if you don't mind me asking?
PI did have issues running certain commands from here, for sure: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite-arch
PI tried the first one, for instance:
Fixed by running them separately:
distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- ' distrobox-export --app steam' and it lead to this output:Fixed by running them separately:
KYou do want a second version of steam?
PAh, I hid the original Steam by editing the desktop file. So I guess technically it's still installed, but it's hidden.
PThe idea is to have Steam (potentially Lutris, Bottles, etc) use mesa-git.
KAh, fair enough
KThat's why most of the time isn't all the time
PStill the error above confused me - I assume something definitely went wrong somewhere because they shouldn't error like that when ran as a single command 
KShouldn't matter
PYeah, fair. Do you happen to know how the settings/saves/games/etc get shared between the native Steam and the bazzite-arch one? Do they use the same folders, etc? Wondering about any conflicts.

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch-gnome and not distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch, might be the reasonKIf its in ~ its shared
Ayou also can put it in custom home if you don't want to share
Nmesa-git is just for the like bleeding edge updates right? when there's an official release it'll come through SteamOS update button right?
KYes
Ehdr on my 4k60 tv with my rx580 8g is super borked but i blame the age of the gpu and the awful hdr handling of the tv
Hi like the (new?) sleep animation
P@Akanar I see what you're talking about in terms of the refresh rate jumping around.
I've only seen it in a particular game so far, though - in Witcher 3 for example it follows the FPS pretty much perfectly.

PSo, I wonder if it also happens without the adapter in that one game I had issues with (Warhammer 3)... would have to test.
KHello, I have a question regarding VRR, how do I know if it's working? On the perf overlay it shows a constant 120Hz and some games feel even laggier than on Windows
PFor my LG C2, there is VRR info in the OSD. It shows if VRR is enabled, and the refresh rate fluctuates and does not stay fixed.
