On 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.

HDMI 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.

As 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.

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 8:23 AM

Obviously 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)

are there any terminal commands to increase performance or improve other aspects of linux? is there a HDR equivalent?

KDE has HDR
Bazzite usually tries to already have those terminal commands "Preinstalled"

It’s wonderful. Not without its flaws but overall a huge step up from the Nvidia Wayland experience.

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 9:26 AM

Hmm, 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.

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 11:28 AM

I did have issues running certain commands from here, for sure: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite-arch

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 11:28 AM

I tried the first one, for instance:

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- '  distrobox-export --app steam'

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- ' distrobox-export --app steam'

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- '  distrobox-export --app steam'

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- ' distrobox-export --app steam' and it lead to this output:

Error: crun: executable file ` distrobox-export --app steam` not found in $PATH: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

Error: crun: executable file ` distrobox-export --app steam` not found in $PATH: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

Error: crun: executable file ` distrobox-export --app steam` not found in $PATH: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

Fixed by running them separately:

distrobox-enter bazzite-arch-gnome
distrobox-export --app steam

distrobox-enter bazzite-arch-gnome
distrobox-export --app steam

distrobox-enter bazzite-arch-gnome
distrobox-export --app steam

distrobox-enter bazzite-arch-gnome
distrobox-export --app steam

You do want a second version of steam?

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 11:30 AM

Ah, I hid the original Steam by editing the desktop file. So I guess technically it's still installed, but it's hidden.

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 11:30 AM

The idea is to have Steam (potentially Lutris, Bottles, etc) use mesa-git.

That's why most of the time isn't all the time

P

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 11:33 AM

Still 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

Kasher_CS•8/17/24, 11:34 AM

Shouldn't matter

PrussianPrince•8/17/24, 11:34 AM

Yeah, 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.

K

Kasher_CS•8/17/24, 11:34 AM

Oh yeah, of course you want

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch-gnome

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch-gnome

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch-gnome

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch-gnome and not

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch, might be the reason

PPrussianPrince Yeah, fair. 😄 Do you happen to know how the settings/saves/games/etc get shared...

@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.

For 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.

If your perf overlay is something similar, it should be the same way I would think. As in, if the refresh rate is not moving at all, VRR is not working.
