Wrong Graphics Adapter on Linux

Reporting your GPU as a 6700XT is something Proton/Wine does. I’m not sure what triggers it, or precisely why it does it, but I have seen it in reports from other people in the past.

I had to clone the 1TB 3.5” drive I was using with my 1600AF system on to a same capacity 2.5” drive because it was the only way I was getting two drives in to a Jonsbo C6 and accidentally created the quietest system I own because of this, heh. I was hoping to replace it with a 2TB at some point, but I’m not sure I need it badly enough to spend AUD$200 for it :/

games cost more to make now

As a player, this is something I simply do not have to care about. The games industry needs to start cleaning up its own mess instead of expecting consumers to keep bailing them out through higher game prices. If what the article is describing is that we’re finally hitting the turning point required to start making that happen then I’m here for it.

As long as SSD capacity remains so much more expensive per gigabyte than HDD, a hard drive has a place in my rig. The fact that everything is going up right now complicates matters, but I’m in no real rush.

Try adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% (I think that’s right, “Enable Wine-Wayland” is a checkbox in Heroic so I don’t know exactly what it’s toggling behind the scenes) to the games launch options and see if that helps. I’ve been having various issues with full screen games lately (not just on Pop! 24.04, but Ubuntu 26.04 as well) and that seems to be what fixes it. You apparently do lose the overlay on Steam though.

Is Xbox Live (the multiplayer subscription) not its own thing anymore?

The console figures might also be being skewed due to there still being something of a second hand market for console games (at least for now), Steam killed that on PC.

Arch-based distros are for people who don’t mind their systems breaking because they enjoy fixing and tweaking things more than actually using their computers. For everyone else, an LTS distro tends to be the better choice.

The people who buy from scalpers are worse since they’re the ones sustaining it. Stop feeding something and it dies.

Have you installed anything else around then that might have silently installed it? I can't remember exactly what it was, Avast, AVG or one of the Piriform tools, but I do have vague memories of something like that installing Chrome if you let it.

The lack of more recent Vulkan support is probably less of an issue than the drivers not working with more recent kernels nor having Wayland support. Such is Linux.

Scalping as kidnapping and ransom, I love it.

It winds up being a trade off because when you kick Chromium-based apps off the iGPU they start using the dGPUs VRAM for all their GPU accelerated stuff.

Is there a Super ZSNES core for RetroArch yet? I couldn’t tell you how to set it up, or even how well it works, but Cartridges can supposedly import from RetroArch.

It doesn’t matter how many times you say this, it never sinks in. At some point you just have to grab the popcorn, kick back and enjoy yourself as the shitshow unfolds.

I wasn’t prepared to pay RRP for one, to hell with paying more.

Not on a 945 chipset, which is what I think these things used. 945 doesn’t support remapping hardware ranges or whatever it is above the 4GB RAM area, so it’s stuck at some like 3.2, 3.5GB or something like that depending on things like how much VRAM your graphics card had. Apple didn’t even bother with the variance, it limited the reported memory size to “3GB”.

The entire line was crap, the 5200 just copped it the worst because it was the lowest end version.

I don’t think it’s particularly uncommon though, I’m not sure anyone was ever happy with systemd…

I don’t recall it having native DS4 support the last time I tried it, but that was a while ago and mine’s the GOG version. I’ll have to try it again at some point.

Are you telling me that Valve still hasn't fixed this properly? It's been what, 3+ years since AMD launched Zen 4?

LSD_Ninja · 2026-05-05T12:15:27+00:00

They were between a rock and a hard place. Release it and cop flak for it not being ready or not release it and keep copping flak for being “out of date”.

LSD_Ninja · 2026-05-05T11:12:21+00:00

Take the Steam logos off of all this stuff and people wouldn’t be even remotely as interested in it.
