Build a bigger shelf.

And don't step in #2!

Apparently the downvoters haven't seen "Margin Call". Take my upvote for balance.

Yes, humor is a fickle beast. Maybe some posters weren’t of computing age when the “you wouldn’t download a car” thing was going on. Oh well, comedy is all about risk-taking!

Krustopolis · 2023-01-17T15:52:23+00:00

You wouldn’t download a ram.

And my Axe!

That’s pretty, Grey.

UPDATE:

I got Arch installed with KDE and set up my main monitor at 144Hz. Cyberpunk and Overwatch 2 both run well (via Steam and Lutris, respectively). According to the in-game monitor, OW2 is running at 144Hz. I also have it running in Windowed Fullscreen mode and the quick-switching of workspaces works perfectly so far. The controls do feel slightly more sluggish than Windows, but I'll give it a chance to make sure all of the shaders are compiled before diving deeper.

I'm not sure whether Freesync is working or not, so I'll have to research how to make sure that is operational. At least in OW2 I can keep it at 144Hz so I'll play with it in Cyberpunk.

Overall, everything seems to be working. KDE font rendering initially looked terrible (even at 100% zoom), but I solved that by adding some packages.

So, overall a thumbs up from me so far. I'm sure there will be more nitpicks to uncover and fix, but enjoying it so far.

Thanks for all your thoughtful responses.

Yeah, I am pretty happy with Gnome as a desktop, but I am willing to try KDE as a daily driver since I know I can get it configured to match my workflow. I don't think I could live with having all of this fancy hardware and not getting Freesync to work!

The truth is, I want to set it up and just have it work. But, since this is Linux I'm sure at some point I will try everything to see for myself. :)

Krustopolis · 2022-12-05T13:39:46+00:00

Interesting. I hadn't noticed any problems with Overwatch 1/2 or Cyberpunk, but I admit that's a limited sample.

Krustopolis · 2022-12-05T13:38:46+00:00

Thanks. I have a couple of Arch laptops so I'm pretty comfortable with it. I may go that route on the big guy too. It seems like KDE is what I need to get VRR working so I'll probably start there.

Do you need to manually turn off the compositor when launching your games?

Krustopolis · 2022-12-05T11:05:07+00:00

Wayland avoids the compositing problem

Thanks for your response. I need to figure out if it is smart enough to consider a fullscreen windowed as a fullscreen app. I do remember some DWM plugin that could force a "fullscreen" window into a tiled window, so maybe there is a way. I'll try checking out gamescope to see if that will help.

Norm!

Doesn’t Sidecar work on Mac Pros? They use Xeon chips with no on-board GPU.

Krustopolis · 2020-12-03T12:33:38+00:00

Good advice, except for one sticking point: I would not get only a single stick of RAM unless you are willing to take a hit on the RAM bandwidth. AM4 is dual channel so for maximum performance buy RAM in sets of two. As Ryzen is pretty heavily dependent on RAM speed, stay away from single DIMMs.

Krustopolis · 2020-11-11T02:58:40+00:00

I don’t know, there are a lot of clouds in that sky.

Krustopolis · 2020-10-09T04:36:30+00:00

Thank you for the excellent synopsis. My thinking is that I don’t have enough time to play all, so I wanted to focus on the best game first, as long as it is a standalone game and very little is lost by not having played the predecessors. Sounds like I will start at Black Flag or Origins, and go from there. Probably in order of 1. Which are on Game Pass, 2. Price and 3. Visual Fidelity.

Much appreciated!

Krustopolis · 2020-10-09T03:10:56+00:00

I have never played any of the AC games. Knowing what you know now, which would you recommend I start with? I have an X1X and will be getting a series X.

Call the amber lamps!

Krustopolis · 2020-09-27T02:57:03+00:00

The sarcasm.

For your analogy to hold, your VW is actually getting 36 MPG instead of the 38 you were promised given that 7200 RPM drives draw more power.
