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?

GidarthOP•8/19/24, 2:13 AM

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

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

GidarthOP•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?

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

GidarthOP•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

GidarthOP•8/19/24, 2:21 AM

Thanks

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

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:38 AM

And if you do so anyway we can't support you if you have a problem

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:39 AM

And the best recovery tools are all free and built in

Pez•8/19/24, 3:39 AM

i tried it for fun and it torched the whole disk don't do that

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:39 AM

oh ok so i cant run those games from the drives? i would need to specifically download them on the flash drive which Bazzite is on

WWoodsBeatle oh ok so i cant run those games from the drives? i would need to *specifically* ...

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:39 AM

If you are installing bazite on a flash drive we also cannot support you

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:39 AM

So no, don't do that

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:40 AM

On my end I have a separate game drive that is BTRFS formatted that I share with Windows via winBTRFS

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:40 AM

That has a risk of data loss because you're using a community-made driver for BTRFS on Windows, but it's just video games so not an issue for me

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:41 AM

And in 5 years it's not bitten me once

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:41 AM

so I guess i shouldnt format my drives then? since formatting from NTFS to BTFRS causes game issues. i'll take that into account

WWoodsBeatle so I guess i shouldnt format my drives then? since formatting from NTFS to BTFRS...

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:41 AM

What

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:41 AM

can i mount them but not format them?

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:41 AM

I'm not sure you understand what formatting means

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:42 AM

im confused yea

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:42 AM

You cannot mount an NTFS drive to play games. Period

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:42 AM

We will not support you in that in any way

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:42 AM

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:42 AM

Reformatting a drive means losing all the data on the drive, that's the only way to change the format

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:43 AM

from some guides on google and YT, some people showed how to mount the drives, but did not specify if that would wipe that drives clean hence why i was confused

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:44 AM

i do have a microSD with some games on it. i read on universalblue that microSD cards auto-mount. would that mean that data is automatically lost?

WWoodsBeatle from some guides on google and YT, some people showed how to mount the drives, b...

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:44 AM

Mounting and formatting are two different things

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:44 AM

You mount an already formatted drive

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:44 AM

But again, if that format is NTFS you're not going to be playing games

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:44 AM

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:46 AM

does Bazzite have hibernation, fast startup and secure boot and if so, how do enable them? should i enable them though since i plan to cycle between Win11 and Linux sometimes?

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:48 AM

Fast startup is a Windows concept, we do not have that

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:48 AM

No hibernation

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:48 AM

Secure boot works

WoodsBeatle•8/19/24, 3:49 AM

the password for secure boot (or something else i believe) is 'universalblue'?

Kyle Gospo•8/19/24, 3:49 AM

Yep
