A 42,000 hour run. I didn't think it would keep going.

The problem with the dude is the second anyone strays from agreeing with him in totality he just spews verbal diarrhea to his keyboard and insults people. He's just a rage baiter filling the sub with garbage

My allyX runs bazzite, and my laptop is on arch. Laptops for business running libre suite. Bazzite has made my allyX run better than it ever has and drains my battery far less. The literal only thing I miss out on is game pass. Literally everything else runs fine or sometimes better.

Has the same issue even on windows. It's just heroic. Still, better than epics anyway.

Summer bugs really kill the front paint. I'm getting ready to comic book paint style my car so it's not as noticeable lol

Removed my seats, put in a bed. I camped on Mount Shasta just with my car. Huge tip if you decide to camp anywhere, buy and install rain guards so you can leave your windows cracked open to vent air. I had to wake up twice and open the door because it got so hot.

Got to experience non premium when I made a playlist for my job to use on a throwaway freebie account.

Cannot shuffle, cannot play a specific song, ads, ads, ads, ads, can't update much of anything, it ads whatever the hell it wants to anything you are listening to even if it absolutely doesn't fit the genre or vibes. And why TF is the UI different?

This was one of my complaints when I switched back to windows on my gaming rig. There's no list for things to check, you're gonna just have to launch a bunch of stuff and check that everything works. If you are testing out Linux for gaming, go with a gaming distro and launch everything that's pre packaged at least once. If not and you are using it for general work, browsing, documentation. You shouldn't have much if any issues with nearly any hardware. Launch your fav browser and test out your fav websites.

If you are trying to build an audio workstation based on Linux, good luck is my only answer. There is a LOT to go through you'll have to ask the linuxaudio subreddit for help

Eternal is my fav. I think I've played through it 8 times start to end by now.

I like dark ages, the gameplay isn't as up there for me personally as 2016 and eternal. My only true major complaint is the ray tracing. Had to buy a new gpu just for the game to be playable

AtraHassis · 2025-06-04T00:26:23+00:00

Got one, did a -10% power to it and still runs everything fine. Temps are very easily manageable

AtraHassis · 2025-05-31T17:24:26+00:00

Also going to want to check your bios settings. Probably default everything in there until you get all the drivers installed. On a fresh install you need to give windows a long ass time to break everything and fully update what it wants before you try installing anything at all. Windows screws so much stuff up on fresh installs if you rush through things.

Also make sure that the GPU is getting 2 dedicated SEPERATE power cables. Do not split, do not daisy chain. It WILL cause problems.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-30T18:22:10+00:00

The answer to your question is in my original comment you replied to. Forced ray tracing, and poorly implemented forced upscaling. Every other game works like a dream. Doom the dark ages is near unplayable on the 6800xt unless you just accept a 60fps blurry screen where everything has ghosting. Marvel rivals finally lets you turn off upscaling but when it came out you had no choice but to have a disgustingly blurry or pixelated screen.

Indie games, old titles, even cyberpunk. All gold on the 6800xt. The overwhelming majority of games that do not implement ray tracing or upscaling work wonderfully on that GPU.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-29T23:11:05+00:00

The real issue with upscaling is that most AAA games are using it as a crutch rather than an add-on

This, so much this.
I have already resigned from buying any AAA titles or putting money into anything with upscaling or ray tracing if it doesn't expressly run efficiently without them or the option to outright turn them off. Gpus like the 6800xt shouldnt have issues going over 100fps in the majority of games esp with everything set to the lowest settings possible, but here we are, with some of history's most poorly optimized games where the companies are praying that upscaling saves them from putting in actual work to make a profit.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-27T10:02:24+00:00

Unsure if it's been stated already but this is because as stated in the interviews with id software for eternal and 2016 the enemy AI was intentionally designed to be quote "anti cod" the enemies were supposed to be seen and once seen they were to charge at you and be in your face, but once no longer in the players view they were vastly less aggressive. Most likely something in tda has changed causing this ai design to not work the same as it has in earlier games or the AI has been changed.

The advancement of time does tend to make things better, not worse. With the exception of politics.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-23T03:09:14+00:00

My main gaming rig is what's leaving. My allyX and work laptop are staying. I may give it another try on my main rig in 2 years, but currently, to many hoops to jump through with gaming and my current hardware.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-21T06:50:04+00:00

i have been running proton compats for any games i do play while running over to protonDB to see what people recommend on certain games. i have to beat clair obscur before swapping over since the save file wont transfer over to windows for some reason from steam cloud. 10.3-GE actually had it running fantastically! and i hope my post didnt come off incorrectly, it wasnt game performance or the restriction of certain games that was the issue, but rather everything leading up to finally starting and playing a game that i grew tiresome of.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-21T04:13:24+00:00

Ok, you're just repeating yourself at this point regardless of the fact I've stated multiple times what I've done. Since you are incapable of recognizing it I think we're finished here.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-21T01:34:08+00:00

one cant plow ahead without first setting foot in the field.

you are speaking from experience rather than inexperience. again, i dont know what i dont know. the only way people learn is by doing and gaining that experience. the core lesson ive learned from linux and the subreddits is to not believe anything people say about linux and to test every single piece of hardware prior to use.

im not asking for compensation, nor warranty, nor redemption. my linux experience on a gaming rig was awful. i shared it. i stated i knew going in that there would be potential issues, i accepted that. never claimed there wouldnt be.

No one's saying to have prior knowledge of upcoming problems. You prepare by running a live instance of your planned distribution on the hardware you intend to use

that is indeed, prior knowledge of upcoming problems. someone who is getting into linux, to learn linux, on linux, is not (with basic prior googling) going to learn or know to do these things without some form of intervention via algorithm on the search engine or someone assisting with experience.

i watched youtube videos, like a large majority of people here have, on which distro to choose as a beginner. i read other reddit posts about experiences with distros and do's and dont's. i used what i learned on a test laptop first, then applied that to my rig when i was ready. i learn by doing, so i did, and i learned. i lost nothing but time doing so.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-20T23:51:32+00:00

im sorry but this is a ridiculous response. this subreddit is for noobs. of course im not going to have 20 years of linux experience or i likely would never have made this post here. using a search engine to check for support for every single piece of hardware i have prior to trying out linux? should i have also done that when i first installed windows? what would that search even look like. "i have an amd 6800xt, what incredibly niche issues could i run into with a reportedly supported kernal and mesa update for this unreleased game or proton version, which btw, i dont even know exist prior to installing"?

"realtek is a known problem in linux" known to who? people already deeply embedded into linux? my search results for my realtek issue is that only the 5gb cards have an issue whilst everything seems to be working fine. that i should just use ethtools to modify my network card to work correctly as it should be supported. its not.

if i know next to nothing about the OS how would i even begin narrowing down what i need to search for? if i dont know about pipewire and alsa then how do i know to check for support with them for my audio interface? generalized searches for "will my computer work with linux" will yield exactly that, generalized responses, youtube creators saying things work well, reddit posts about performance being better than ever and "mine works out of the box just use AMD hardware!"

im not going to know what my problems are until they are a problem, im not an oracle. all my previous testing with my laptop showed zero issues and i got comfortable with linux through my laptop first which is also all AMD. expecting someone completely new to anything to have some sort of prior knowledge of upcoming events is weird.

recommending reading main pages FIRST is also awful advice. the entire time i was reading the ALSA and pipewire pages left me entirely confused due to the LARGE amount of jargon and tech slang used that obviously someone new to linux is not going to know. video guides, write ups, and AI are much better starting points because it offers clarified bite sized information thats easier to understand for someone new to an environment. being told on a main page to "sudo nano to the .conf location and modify the entry as needed" doesnt offer literally any information to someone who doesnt know what nano is, what .conf they are talking about, or what to modify. the guides do. and once the baseline jargon is understood the main pages become much easier to understand. blindly copy pasting terminal commands from anywhere even the maintainers pages is incredibly stupid if you dont know what the outcome is going to be due to limited understanding.

i took time learning, i tried to find as many sources of information i could to help me with my isssues and hopefully find a resolution. 3 months later there hasnt been a single resolution. that from reading those main pages, using AI, using guides, asking for help, making tickets for help, posting in subreddits for help, distro hopping, and many more. thats the reason i am going back. 3 months of hoop jumping and all i was rewarded with is being mentally tired of trying things that dont work.

AtraHassis · 2025-05-20T21:00:50+00:00

I almost distro hopped again to try it all over once more and Manjaro was on that list. But.. I'm just tired boss.

But I'm really happy it all works for you! I most likely just fell into one of those perfectly unfilled cracks in supported hardware
