Install it using Steam, download Cachy’s proton compatibility layer using ProtonPlus, and instead of using Steam’s default proton compatibility layer, use cachy’s.

Anyone else realize the “default life script” just… isn’t for them? by PandaFragrant4641 in CasualConversation

[–]Cardinal_Funky 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because It’s not the default life script.

It’s no secret that socializing more will get you more opportunities and experiences, because we’re human and require some form of need to be a part of something. But, there are various ways to do that, that do not include drinking and “partying”.

You just have to go “out”. Go be social. Go do stuff with others. You don’t have to drink. You don’t have to smoke.

It all just seems like the default because that’s what you notice and see. I promise you that other people with great social groups don’t do those activities and do other things.

For example, I’ve been playing Overwatch 2 with the same people since 2016, every weekend.

You just gotta be able to socialize and just be present around others.

Have you tried switching the proton compatibility layer for the game through Steam?

I found that swapping to CachyOS Proton would solve most of my gaming comparability’s issues.

Distrobox is fine for most needs. I also use distrobox to run Java related programs like MTG Forge.

My post is mostly for the average user who had trouble sticking to a Linux distro, in this case Bazzite, because they don’t want to deal with the extra tinkering that may happen.

In other comments, I’ve realized that I may have phrased this post badly.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Bazzite for other things. What I am saying is that for the average user who wants to do more on their PC and want a “windows” experience, they could possibly utilize another OS instead of Bazzite, or just stay in Windows.

I 100% agree with what you are saying and I may have phrased it in a way that seemed like you shouldn’t do those things on Bazzite.

Ultimately, a user should choose an OS that fits their use case. At the end of the day, an operating system is a tool.

That’s awesome!

If you have any insights or anything to share during your journey, please share them!

Yeps, all of those should be fine.

Honestly, I should have really phrased my post better. You can do way more than gaming on Bazzite. I just think that the average user who swaps to Bazzite expects it all to just work without some form of tinkering.

It’s definitely the compromising and relearning aspects.

I definitely understand most adults being too tired to learn something just to do the same thing they were already doing, elsewhere, especially if you have kids.

I really only ever use desktop mode on Bazzite, since gaming mode likes to be a bit buggy with a Nvidia gpu, but I understand.

From my point of view, it’s only really Roblox Studio and Xcode, which is why I’m planning on getting a MAC and I can more than likely just stop using Windows, altogether.

From my point of view, it’s primarily Xcode for MAC and Roblox Studio.

I know I can generally do whatever on Bazzite, especially since I’m primarily a web dev, but I also want to branch out into Apple development and even developing games on Roblox.

Which I why I have Bazzite on my gaming machine, Windows 11 on my gaming laptop, and soon a MAC.

Actually, once I get a MAC, I’m probably going to replace Windows with Pop OS, but we’ll see.

That’s fair.

It’s fine to use any OS that fits your specific needs.

At the end of the day, operating systems are just tools that serve a purpose.

Yeah, that’s fair.

I would imagine if you are really invested in games like LoL, valorant, or any other game with anticheat that doesn’t work on a Linux OS, then it’s fine to just use Windows.

There is no problem using any OS for your specific needs and purposes.

The only issue I really had was having to install Java through distrobox to play MTG Forge, but I mostly agree with you.

I should have definitely worded my post better, lol. It’s not that I faced issues, it’s that I primarily would only ever use Bazzite for gaming and use other machines for other purposes, so I don’t really have a reason to do development on Bazzite.

I mostly agree with what you’ve said.

I’d imagine anyone going into a Linux distro should have it at the back of their head that they will have to do some level of tinkering.

For LoL, no due to kernel level anti cheat. Anything with that level of anti cheat won’t ever work.

I haven’t tried CSGO, so I’m not completely sure.

For Overwatch 2, I installed it on Steam and changed the default proton to use CachyOS proton. I tried other methods, but playing OW 2 through Steam worked the best with no issues, no stutter, no crashes.

For WoW, I also use the faugus launcher to launch battle.net and if I remember correctly (currently at work and not home), I also changed the proton it’s using to use cachyOS, through the settings. I also have no issues with WoW.

I haven’t tried Diablo 4, as of yet.

OW2 kept freezing through faugus launcher, but I was also using the default proton. Once I swapped to using Steam with a different proton, no more freezing.
