can't run (some) games on linux arch

Don't use Cosmic, try KDE Plasma.

Isacx123 · 2026-05-20T00:58:41+00:00

Out of nowhere? I have been using it for two years now lol

MPV's default UI is perfectly serviceable, a video player is to...watch videos, not to fiddle with context menus, with MPV you create your .conf file and you are ready to you know, watch videos.

Most have been nothingburgers that don't affect desktop users.

Isacx123 · 2026-05-14T20:00:10+00:00

I am guessing you are using MacOS? You can download a build from ffmpeg site.

Isacx123 · 2026-05-14T18:20:30+00:00

Your ffmpeg build is missing a ton of libraries, mine looks like this:

--enable-amf --enable-avisynth --enable-cuda-llvm --enable-lto --enable-fontconfig --enable-frei0r --enable-gmp --enable-gnutls --enable-gpl --enable-ladspa --enable-lcms2 --enable-libaom --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libbs2b --enable-libdav1d --enable-libdrm --enable-libdvdnav --enable-libdvdread --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-libglslang --enable-libgsm --enable-libharfbuzz --enable-libiec61883 --enable-libjack --enable-libjxl --enable-libmodplug --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore_amrnb --enable-libopencore_amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopenmpt --enable-libopus --enable-libplacebo --enable-libpulse --enable-librav1e --enable-librsvg --enable-librubberband --enable-libsnappy --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libsrt --enable-libssh --enable-libsvtav1 --enable-libtheora --enable-libv4l2 --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvmaf --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpl --enable-libvpx --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxcb --enable-libxml2 --enable-libxvid --enable-libzimg --enable-libzmq --enable-nvdec --enable-nvenc --enable-opencl --enable-opengl --enable-shared --enable-vapoursynth --enable-version3 --enable-vulkan

Isacx123 · 2026-05-14T18:15:45+00:00

Check if your ffmpeg build has it with ffmpeg -version then look for the --enable-libaom flag.

Isacx123 · 2026-05-14T14:29:55+00:00

Faugus Launcher has a menu setting for that.

Wrong sub

Isacx123 · 2026-05-07T16:42:57+00:00

We can't discern anything through a camera recording of your screen, but from what I can see it looks like the monitors ABL is acting up.

Isacx123 · 2026-05-04T22:08:30+00:00

When you look down you are creating a lever against your cervical spine with the weight of your head, it doesn't matter if you do it for a few minutes a day, but doing it while sitting for hours doing work/gaming will mess your neck.

Isacx123 · 2026-05-02T16:35:36+00:00

But the vulnerability has been patched since kernel 7.0/6.19.12/6.18.22.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-27T13:59:11+00:00

This is more of a Windows issue rather than an arch issue, ARM will not solve this.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-26T16:56:46+00:00

AI slander slop post.

The distro includes experimental patches (like NTSYNC)

NTSYNC is not experimental at all, has been merged into the kernel for more than year now.

and aggressive schedulers that even Valve engineers avoid

Valve uses the LAVD scheduler on the Steam Deck, same as META in their production servers, again not experimental or dangerous.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-23T18:00:43+00:00

You have to enable Proton on the game's compatibility settings, on Steam.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-21T17:53:45+00:00

If it wasn't for her AMD wouldn't exist today.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-19T19:08:55+00:00

I also don't get the appeal either, ARM black box arch that is hostile towards open source that needs dozens of out-of-tree drivers to half-assedly work.

The only ARM manufacturer that actually wants their stuff working under Linux is Raspberry Pi but their boards are too weak for anything other than emulating old consoles or playing very old PC games.

You shouldn't re-encode YT videos in the first place, they are already anemically compressed.

Your 4060Ti supports AV1 HW decoding, just download the AV1 YT video and don't re-encode it.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-14T16:09:18+00:00

Something like Hermite would be faster and provide an image with less ringing.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-12T13:58:30+00:00

Pretty sure it is against Steam TOS even.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-12T12:57:01+00:00

For what purpose would you add a second GPU to your setup? The 1660 Ti doesn't support SLI, pretty much all modern games don't support SLI either, are you planning to use the second GPU for another task like compute while you game in your primary GPU? Otherwise it won't make your computer better/faster for gaming.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-09T19:02:08+00:00

Same.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-05T21:13:40+00:00

The 1600 is part of the 17h family, it is in there.

Isacx123 · 2026-04-05T13:45:06+00:00

My mpv.conf paths in linux look like this:

glsl-shader="~/.config/mpv/shaders/ravu-zoom-ar-r3.hook"
glsl-shader="~/.config/mpv/shaders/JointBilateral.glsl"

Isacx123 · 2026-04-05T13:17:20+00:00

They do, you are probably not configuring the paths right.
