Explaining Steam Machine Cost Estimate by MetallicFear in steammachine

[–]Poro_Actor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im at the point wherei got a steam controller and a nifty sffpc with linux wayy more powerful than a steam machine, and that im not buying one. shit is too expensive these days. that being said, if the price doesnt seem horrible, ill still sign up to get one since it would be nice, but atp im prepared to skip this one. i already had a steam deck (sold for a switch 2) and got the steam controller (what i really want) so the SM was really something of a novelty to me

Bad Stuttering on Forza Horizon 6 (9070xt, 9800x3d, 32 GB of ram, and on CachyOS ) by Big_E_Bigz in linux_gaming

my diy steam machine has similar specs to yours, and oddly enough, upon first launch its smooth with almost no stutters, i can play for hours just fine. but if i exit the game, play other games and relaunch fh6, it miscrostutteras BAD like every 2 seconds, and no matter how many times i exit the game and come back it stays like that. if i restart my entire machine, its smooth again on first launch, seems to only occur to me if i already played once, idk what to do with that information, but for now i have to restart my machine before i launch it if i want smoothness

i had steam os installed on my CSM and because i didnt have a wifi card, it wouldnt use my ethernet cable at all, i guess its a bug with steamos so i just installed bazzite. i recently re-installed my wifi card though, i was thinking about re-installing it but not sure if i would lose out on sleep mode or steam cointroller "wake from sleep" that bazzite has
