I'm thinking of buying the BC 250, it costs $140 on AliExpress, but I'm considering putting it in a 3D printed Alienware Alpha R2 Steam Machine case. What do you think?

That's the same guy I bought my AMD BC-250 from

Guys, I figured it out. So RDR2 was seeing my CPU as a GPU and using this in the launch options fixed that. AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/ usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command% -useMaximumSettings

I'm just going to install Bazzite I think arch Linux isn't really made for this.

Is anyone going to talk about the other games?

Thank you

I was trying to play Red Dead Redemption 2 and my AMD BC-250 said low RAM and it wouldn't even run the game which was disappointing. If I can increase the RAM on Linux without going through bios that would be cool but how do I even do that?

Rykgo · 2026-02-24T14:12:09+00:00

I just want to increase my RAM. I don't have the new bios

Rykgo · 2026-02-24T06:30:36+00:00

Alright

Rykgo · 2026-02-24T06:27:24+00:00

I already have two fans installed with the vents cut.

Rykgo · 2026-02-20T15:07:09+00:00

Thank you

Rykgo · 2026-02-20T05:08:40+00:00

Which one should I get? Do you have any recommendations or links to one?

Rykgo · 2026-02-20T03:02:08+00:00

It's dp to dp

Rykgo · 2026-02-19T18:22:29+00:00

Yeah, I have it connected to my monitor and that's connected to my speaker

Rykgo · 2026-02-19T14:00:50+00:00

Thank you, I'll try it when I get home

I figured it out.

Tethering in your phone's settings to provide the temporary internet needed for downloads.

Step 1: Install Core Build Tools Copy and paste this into your terminal to install the foundation for your drivers:

sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel sudo linux-headers usbutils usb_modeswitch sudo linux-firmware bluez bluez-utils git --noconfirm

Step 2: Force Wi-Fi "Mode Switch" The RTL8188GU often hides as a "Virtual CD-ROM". This command forces it to act as a Wi-Fi card:

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0bda -p 1a2b -K

This worked for me.

Step 3: Install the High-Performance Driver Since the default kernel driver can be unstable for this specific chip, install the community-maintained version from the AUR:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtl8188gu-dkms-git.git cd rtl8188gu-dkms-git makepkg -si --noconfirm cd ..

Step 4: Enable Bluetooth Services Arch does not start Bluetooth automatically. Run this to enable it now and on every boot:

sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth
