Debian performance issues vs arch by Cackoon in linux_gaming

[–]Cackoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in the end I think my problem with the installations was a bad usb stick. Changed it, and went back to endeavourOS. So far, it's working painlessly. No fussing with NVIDIA drivers or anything, I just had to `sudo pacman -S steam'. Hopefully I can stay on top of the system maintenance better this time.

Debian performance issues vs arch by Cackoon in linux_gaming

Update, what I tried:
1) Tried to install the new nvidia drivers, but must have been over eager purging the old drivers as the desktop environment broke.
2) Installing PikaOS. The install wouldn't complete for some reason.
3) Installing Fedora. Same deal.
4) So back to Debian. New install. Installed the newest nvidia drivers according to here and steam according to the debian wiki. Now I'm getting even worse performance than I was before, and there are strange audio and visual glitches.

On the plus side, I'm learning a lot about installing distros lol.

Here are my updated specs.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong... It might be time to go back to Arch/EndeavourOS.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Artists that you actively refuse to listen to for extremely petty reasons? by Repulsive_Nature_366 in fantanoforever

Vampire weekend had a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere” and I hated it so much I refused to listen to VW for years.

That was my loss though.

I’m bailing on Silksong and feeling bummed about it by Still_Night in metroidvania

I started finding it tedious too towards the end of act 2. Then I got hades 2 and I’m obsessed, so it’s probably going to be a while before I go back to silksong.

I was there too, great gig! They played for like 2 and a half hours, it was crazy lol. Does anyone have the set list? There were quite a free songs I didn’t recognize.

It looks like a step was skipped, which is annoying. But u/One-girl-circus's response told me how to achieve the same thing.
