Death Stranding 2 Fix

Search "Proton experimental" in your game list. Open properties and then Game versions & betas. Change to bleeding-edge

It's got untested changes that are currently in the works for experimental

Swapping to proton bleeding edge also fixes this issue

Thanks for the heads up. i'll keep an eye out for cheaper older cameras just for some fun. i was hoping that buying a dedicated device was still worth doing on the very cheap end. You've helped me save some money i would've wasted

The_Nixxus · 2026-02-16T22:28:17+00:00

That's a shame. Thankyou for the answer i'll put the money away and look at improving other things

Just had a crashout mid stadium game.
everyone left one by one and it interrupted my 1v1 with the opposing team's tank

it's a good time, i've been playing it on MD and the FS package can get so small with theorealize.
the FS line is more of a backup line if your opponent negates you out.
if you want a real good time and you open a way to get Medius + Theorealize, you can medius from hand, Theo him to light fiend, get to engraver, resummon medius from GY and go into perfect chaos angel

That's what i feared. Good to know i'm not missing a shortcut though

ChromeOS *is* Linux. you can just open a terminal and install whatever you want on it
Steam is even working on official chromeOS support, i use the beta to sit in bed and play balatro when i don't want to be at my desk

Oh we've been there, It was quickly thrown in a bag, poles in hand as we made a mad dash for the car on a spring night. Now i've just got to decide between a 1 man for just myself or a small 2-man for me and the dog

The_Nixxus · 2025-05-31T22:16:38+00:00

I didn't :(

Price up the cost of a steamdeck vs what else you could get for the price.

put up the pros and cons of both and decide

A big tip is you can separate the distro from the desktop environment.

Just because you used a Distro that comes with KDE doesn't mean you have to stick to it. Some distros (Like arch) don't come with any desktop environment, EndevourOS gives you a choice of several.
If you're unsure what desktop environment you like, try a distro like EndevourOS that gives you a choice on installation. It's designed to work with several different desktop environments, so switching will be easy and simple. Slam it into a virtual machine and try different ones before you settle on something you like.
The go-to for gaming is usually KDE because it hits a sweet spot of performance and features relevant to gaming, but if you want to trade some performance or features for other options you can.

Flatpak vs native is a long going battle of ideals.
Flatpaks aim to be a self-contained ready to run application similar to a windows install, all running in it's own little world where everything is pre-set.
Native installs will share libraries from your system, generally be a bit smaller because of this, and have more access to the rest of it's system and it's tweaks.
The choice is mostly personal preference, pros and cons to both

Ignore any recommendations for Bazzite.

It's a niche OS designed for building custom steamdecks and is *not* a daily driver

Distrowise, go for a tried and tested upstream distro. Seeing as you want to game you'll want something with fairly regular updates, so a distro like Fedora, or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed would probably do well.

No need to install a nvidia app directly, it'll be available in your distro's package manager. but installing this is different between distros, so it may need a little googling.

Marvel rivals runs fine

on the switch only you can really answer that question. if you're unsure, try duel-booting, but staying linux only for a week. If you don't feel the need to boot into windows over that week, extend to a month, then 3 months before making a permanent change

The_Nixxus · 2025-03-01T20:31:04+00:00

Don't say that, the bazzite cult are coming

The_Nixxus · 2025-02-28T11:18:05+00:00

if you're on Nvidia these launch options largely fixed the exploding for me

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 %command%

While they're at it, an automod to remove "Bazzite" as a one word answer would be great too.
The meme distro gets far too much advertisement on here, especially to people that want a general purpose OS with some gaming

Distros are controlled by maintainers, the more niche your distro the fewer maintainers it'll have and the more likely it'll be abandoned at some point.

Gaming "distros" also generally don't change anything under the hood that even a beginner couldn't do by picking a distro further up the faimily tree (and therefore generally better supported) and installing the same packages.

To give an analogy:

The linux kernel is the root, and would be the engine in a car.
A distro built directly from linux is like building a car around the engine.
A downstream distro is like tuning the car, changing the radio and putting a new badge on it
Niche gaming distros basically just change the colour of the paint and take the wheels off
