I actually got really lucky with my HTPC build. My brother was basically getting rid of his 5600x + GTX1080, and gave it to me for free. so all I had to do was transplant it into the smaller case + pick up an AMD GPU + a power supply that fits

AruOP•8/18/24, 11:39 PM

so I basically paid close to the price of a PS5 for my HTPC

AruOP•8/18/24, 11:39 PM

otherwise I probably would've just ended up with a minisforum HTPC

DevilFish303•8/18/24, 11:40 PM

im interested to know what the statistics are for minisforum buyers, how long ago they bought a PC, which one, and whether or not it still works or has been replaced

DevilFish303•8/18/24, 11:41 PM

as far as i can tell generally people are happy with it, im looking at mine thinking its not a good product

AAru I actually got really lucky with my HTPC build. My brother was basically getting...

sold the 1080?

Qq.sold the 1080?

AruOP•8/18/24, 11:42 PM

nope, my brother ended up wanting to give it to his friend since I didn't want it

side note, Bazzite got a few very short mentions in the recent Digital Foundry podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQz8ZQBJSQ0

On the eve of release, the team ponder the dearth of Black Myth: Wukong PS5 reviews - and then some last-minute footage emerges. Will Judd joins the team to discuss the latest AMD Zen 5 problems, more rumours of Xbox exclusives coming to PlayStation 5, while The Verge bravely talk about the game nobody's supposed to be talking about but everyone...

basically it was just mentioned as an alternative to SteamOS in the discussion

@Kyle Gospo did we start reporting as "Bazzite 40"? I noticed it jumped up past "Bazzite"

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 12:01 AM

Nope, unless they do some very strange parsing of the pretty name

Oh neat!

Jjonginator Did you ever figure it out? It seems more like a game by game thing. No issue...

Mcromae•8/19/24, 12:31 AM

No, unfortunately never figured it out, I just restarted and it went away

can anyone help i installed bazzite yesterday but cant find my headphones through my wired xbox series controller

johnny•8/19/24, 1:40 AM

anybody happen to have an 8bitdo pro 2? I'm using bluefin and the rog kernel (due to my asus device) and i wanted to see if any of you could replicate the behaviour of the device constantly disconnecting due to this issue https://jakob.space/blog/sorry-guys-i-have-to-troubleshoot-my-usb-drivers-before-i-can-play.html which is apparently solved by having a kernel with that

option enabled. I see that it is enabled in my kernel, so that doesn't fix it for me. It could be perhaps fixed in a later kernel version or broken in such.

does bazzite come with KDE plasma 5 or 6? how can i upgrade to Plasma 6?

WWoodsBeatle does bazzite come with KDE plasma 5 or 6? how can i upgrade to Plasma 6?

Valerie•8/19/24, 1:40 AM

It comes with Plasma 6.

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 1:40 AM

thnx

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 1:41 AM

my laptop has a touchscreen. should i download Plasma Mobile instead?

Valerie•8/19/24, 1:41 AM

No, and you probably couldn't anyway.

q.•8/19/24, 1:50 AM

did anyone here try ntfs2btrfs

q.•8/19/24, 1:50 AM

how was it

q.•8/19/24, 1:52 AM

feels slightly sketch but i cant do the le ol transfer everything to and from other drive on one of my drives since its way larger than any other drive in my pc

spencer•8/19/24, 2:11 AM

im installing bazzite on my deck now. do i need the discord app to take advantage of the discover overlay? i usually just prefer using it from a web browser

Gidarth•8/19/24, 2:12 AM

Could someone explain to me which TDP control to use on the rog ally x? There’s two: the HHDaemon and the SteamOS slider. What happens if I set one to the default 13w and the steam one for 20w?

Gidarth•8/19/24, 2:13 AM

Or if I let the HHdaemon control on turbo and limit it on steam?

GGidarth Could someone explain to me which TDP control to use on the rog ally x? There’s ...

Valerie•8/19/24, 2:15 AM

HHD should be hooking into steam, so it's the "same" slider.

Gidarth•8/19/24, 2:18 AM

Okay, I’m assuming they won’t “sync” since one is discrete and the other is continuous, so I should trust the last one I set up?

GGidarth Could someone explain to me which TDP control to use on the rog ally x? There’s ...

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 2:19 AM

They both control the same thing

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 2:19 AM

You can use the steam one to set per game

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 2:19 AM

Consider HHD to be the default

Gidarth•8/19/24, 2:20 AM

Ok, so I’ll set that one up to be the middle one and then if I need more power adjust via steam, does that make sense?

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 2:20 AM

Yep

Gidarth•8/19/24, 2:21 AM

Thanks

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:33 AM

why is there a risk when dual-booting linux? what are some of the ways it happens? is data recoverable if it happens? how would i be able to tell if i lose data? Does Linux have a recovery program and/or revert back to a previous save?

WWoodsBeatle why is there a risk when dual-booting linux? what are some of the ways it happen...

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:34 AM

There's no risk by just dual booting Linux

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:35 AM

If you share a drive with Windows, there is a constant risk that Windows could eat your boot partition. There is no fix for that

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:35 AM

If you go out of your way to Mount an NTFS partition from Linux, there is a risk you could lose data in that partition. The NTFS driver is not officially supported by Microsoft

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:35 AM

There is no fix for that

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:35 AM

There are recovery tools for every Linux partition type

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:36 AM

Kyle, you would not believe that sheer amount of relief that you gave me

Pez•8/19/24, 3:36 AM

only windows can recover NTFS :sadge:

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:38 AM

what is the best (paid or free) linux recovery tool? I believe you said Kyle to not format Linux files in NTFS (only BTFRS). NTFS wouldnt run games, right? But if they're on my Windows drive which are NTFS, what do I do? Doesn't formatting a drive after mounting it wipe the data?

WWoodsBeatle what is the best (paid or free) linux recovery tool? I believe you said Kyle to ...

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:38 AM

The only thing you can do is take them off that drive or format it as something else

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:38 AM

Proton does not support EXFAT or NTFS
