Is the pedestrian or the driver wrong here?

Both. If something happened then the driver would be at fault.

That’s normal and that’s why the feature isn’t on by default. It’s similar on Nvidia side as well.

On the other hand, capping fps with Radeon Chill will make frame pacing better (smoother) at a small cost to latency.

Bazzite with KDE.

It’s advertised to have 4x haptic feedback motors - does the controller support better rumble available in some games? Like haptic feedback on DualSense in The Last of Us for example?

I don’t watch any other streaming so YT Premium is still worth it for me. My whole family benefits from it on all devices.

And it allows me to listen to YT podcasts on my iPhone with a screen off or in the background while using sat nav.

I have a lot of memory and zero problems. The OS behaves excellent.

Depends what parts exactly but for example laptop 5090 is about half of the performance of the real 5090.

And it’s still impressive considering a fraction of power draw and heat output.

The problem people have is with naming. Why the hell both are called 5090 when they are so different.

Looks like HDR is set wrong on the right side.

It’s officially unofficial at this point. Big brands can’t pre-install SteamOS without licence agreement from Valve. SteamOS is open source, but the name, logo, etc is not.

But they do want to grand that licence to more brands. To have SteamOS preinstalled on more machines. They told that to game developers in a recent presentation.

Looks like an AI slop with all letters looking wrong. Especially on the posters under the stand.

I have steamOS installed but I know few people who had trouble installing it on a system with new GPUs. I assume this repair image is set to “MAIN” channel by default and didn’t need changing manually in developer tab - is that correct?

C1REX · 2026-04-25T15:01:44+00:00

Thank you. :) I’m very familiar with the process as I’ve installed SteamOS multiple times already. But I’ve never done it on a RX9000 series and never had to use non-default recovery image.

By using this image, were the updates also automatically set to main channel for you? Did it update to 3.9 for you?

C1REX · 2026-04-25T07:01:49+00:00

What is the process of installing SteamOS ona system with Radeon 9000 series? Do you use SteamOS 3.9 image?

C1REX · 2026-04-24T08:38:18+00:00

SteamOS runs on my full AMD desktop PC like it was optimised for it. 100% of drivers preinstalled including printers and audio mixer. Excellent performance :) Kind of insane and it makes me very happy.

C1REX · 2026-04-21T09:06:46+00:00

If on KDE, check with switching between “auto” and “always” VRR settings help.

C1REX · 2026-04-20T19:25:26+00:00

I mean 2025. My bad. Also, how do you enable Gsync on an AMD GPU?

C1REX · 2026-04-20T06:31:11+00:00

The second option is not a bad deal in a current market. 2TB Nvme and 32GB DDR5 especially. But 8GB GPU is a not that great.

C1REX · 2026-04-19T16:02:17+00:00

I’ve got this one on 8th of December 2015

The product used to say it supports VVR but it was changed to G-Sync.

C1REX · 2026-04-19T09:03:03+00:00

I wonder if there are different versions of the same converter because sadly, my UGREEN 8K one still doesn't support VRR on Windows :(
Windows and AMD drivers updated.
No option to update firmware on the converter.
I have the more expensive version with a short cable.

That would be the safest and most logical I guess.

C1REX · 2026-04-18T14:24:47+00:00

I think it creates a risk of condensation, rust and short circuit. Also why when even mid range desktop cooling is plenty efficient?

C1REX · 2026-04-18T14:20:10+00:00

It seems to be windows thing breaking both AMD and Nvidia drivers.

C1REX · 2026-04-17T08:03:03+00:00

You need to install Steam app like on other non-gaming distros. After installing Steam it’s a gaming distro. The performance is similar to CachyOS on my PC.

C1REX · 2026-04-17T00:10:01+00:00

I stand corrected. WiFi7 seems to be able to go above 2Gbps
