The more I think about this, the less conspiracy theory it seems 🤣

Incase anyone wanted out

It’s been fairly good for me on bazzite with my Nvidia card. I have to set some launch options in Steam from time to time to make HDR work but otherwise I’m happy (I had Nvidia issues on a different machine using Ubuntu but switched to different drivers and things improved)

When I was a kid, I made a jam and ham sandwich, I thought I’d created something entirely new 🤣

Pure addiction planet crafter, I bought the dlc in a heartbeat

Planet crafter, steer clear of that game. That’s some addictive shit, I 100%'ed that game before I even knew what I was doing. Really hit the subnautica style base building, alongside a progression system that frankly didn’t take the piss with my time

I’ve been running bazzite as my main gaming OS for about a month now, actually pretty decent. Recent updates have made my Nvidia graphics card “just work” with a few launch options in Steam to support HDR and I’m very happy. I still use windows 11 to play the odd game of battlefield so I have a custom theme for grub which makes things feel fun, even if I only see it for 5 seconds 🤣

I use Ubuntu in work daily because I HATE WSL when it comes to dealing with network bs, and thankfully my business is happy with Linux on the user side (most companies are windows or Mac shops)

Yeah, and I’m on bazzite

It’s funny how some stuff is almost out the box but then it didn’t work for me (I actually would of gone with MO2 directly but once STL worked I couldn’t be arsed and just wanted to get in with gaming 🤣)

I tried that but kept encountering issues, steamtinkerlaunch seemed the most reliable, even if a few hoops to get going

Gonna read the article, but wondering what this changes for say, fallout 4?

I’ve been using steamtinkerlaunch, so that I have mod organizer 2 with mods. I basically have to launch STL, then mo2 to play my modded fallout. I’d love to be able to just launch the modded fallout directly but each time I’ve tried anything it keeps launching fallout without the mods 🙃

Haven’t seen this mentioned, best way to prevent this is to fry the egg, make an omelette or even scrambled eggs 👀

I feel like that scene in Forest Gump with the shrimp

I did my part 👌

Well, got most stuff working

Fallout 4 with mods was a bit of a ball ache but seems to be working now (had to use steamtinkerlaunch to get mod organiser 2 working and then I could install mods from my downloads)

The mods being the most annoying to figure out how to get mod organiser 2 to work, since downloads from Firefox got cancelled or failed after a period of time [had to use Jdownloader for larger mods to reconnect of any network public] - I want to get the nexus mod links working on mod organiser 2 instead but an issue for another time

I live in Linux in work, it’s just come the evening I’ve genuinely been in the mindset of “launch game, play game”

The benefits of speed from Linux are finally pulling me over

I’m actually taking the plunge

I’ve basically reset my SSD entirely and have two partitions - 600GB for windows with FC / BF and then the remaining for Bazzite

So far it’s been easy breezy with steam and bazzite after the initial downloads (thankfully I have fast internet else I’d be back to waiting days 🥲)

I’m considering it a fair bit, fallout 4 and other games will work better on Linux at least

Nice!

I’ve been on windows for ages because of EA anti cheat which drives me nuts (I enjoy the random game of battlefield or FC with friends)

I really want to make the jump for other games like Sims 3 etc which this update is amazing for but EA enabling Linux will be the final nail to make me jump

That setting is no joke, I was pissed I didn’t enable it sooner

My machine went from 45+ seconds to 13 for boot

Can’t wait for fallout 4 script extender to need yet another update 🙃

Only thing holding me back is game companies not empowering stuff like battlefield

I daily drive Linux for work, just use windows to play some games in the evening
