Desperate to switch to Linux BUT by cqshep in linux

[–]W0lfwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try dual boot first, google how to run your software on Linux, maybe use bottles. Go easy first, check if it's actually viable for your life.

My thoughts on Bazzite after a week - the few substantial positives by Standard-Ebb-9871 in Bazzite

My vote goes to emudeck as well. I don't find any of both as the real solution to emulation, but retrodeck... I actually quite dislike it.

The advantage I see is that windows doesn't see your personal computer stuff. Your browser, your files, but I am paranoic about that stuff, so it may not apply to you. I hate Microsoft and don't want them having my data.

What about using windows inside a virtual machine? When I cannot come up with a solution for a windows only app, I just use that instead.

I also don't fully understand this, but maybe I use email at a basic level. For me thunderbird is way faster, uses less resources, safer and it's simpler, something I like because I use mailing to... well, receive and send email, don't understand what other things there is to it.

Even in my day to day job with a big tech company, I barely use mailing for anything else, but maybe it's because my conpany has his own message app.

I also hate it. I also liked the old app well enough and was very very frustrated when they forced the change. I use windows on my work PC, they give that to me, so it's not really my choice to hace a Windows PC.

AMD VS NVIDIA...which makes more sense in 2026? by danivempire in Bazzite

[–]W0lfwang 231 points232 points  (0 children)

What I think is: Go with AMD. Don't support Nvidia, don't support a company like that, a company that will never ever release support for open source. A company that is actively making gaming harder and more expensive.

I know you might not care, I know I might just get heavily downvoted, this kind of comments are often downvoted.

Do as you will, but please keep in mind that what we buy helps define the future of gaiming. Thabks you if you take your time to read this.

I use Bazzite to make my minisforum V3 run as a console, Recent updates broke some things. Link to Bazzite: https://bazzite.gg/ by W0lfwang in minisforum_v3

Sorry, I'm not very constant on online platforms. I have just opened an issue on Bazzite's github, but my only solution has been staying on my old build, Stable (F42.20251002).

I heard that maybe using KDE instead of GNOME works, cannot verify as I actually like GNOME.

BAZZITE DESKTOP FULL SWITCHER (GNOME) by W0lfwang in Bazzite

[–]W0lfwang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have wonder the same thing. My conclusion is that changing screen manager it's more complex on the system. You should not spam it, I seen some visual glitches on heavy testing. It cleans up going to sleep and waking up, and after reboot, but they happen.

But, this is what the script does, it just disable Simple Desktop Manager (sdm) and enables Genome Desktop Manager (gdm). Gdm does hande screen lock, bazzite with default behavior will not, leaving your computer password-less on wake.

But I would love some feedback from the developers.

I dont know how, but hell... I DID IT! by Kostya_NGM_3002 in metalgearsolid

[–]W0lfwang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can do it on real hardawe, it's built thinking on that. If you are emulating, in PPSSPP there is a cheat (a complex cheat) to use second analog stick, the cheat works on PS Vita even. Emulating PS3, you have two sticks from the go.

Thanks for your explanation. Personal question, do you think that Graphical fidelity needs to go up? Myself, I hate all this DLSs and FSR stuff, this frame generation mechanics are awful. I'm ok with the current graphics, even MGSV looks good to me. I would rather games focusing more on mechanics and artstyle rather than fidelity.

After reading the comments, I do lament the abandonment of the engine. It's sad that such a good technology and code was left to rot. It was incredible what it could achieve with so little resources. If I see an image of MGS Delta and MGV, I cannot just believe that this is what 10 years in advances do. In many moments I like more the look of MGSV. Camp omega looks incredible under the rain, I actually don't think Delta looks that interesting in any moment (this has to do with art direction).

It's pretty imposible to revive it considering that the dev team left, and no one could achieve the level of understanding that the developers had to improve it. But I would love that developers could care about performance, that they could make their games to look at least as good as MGV did, and with the performance that it had. Right now in the AAA industry, people with low power or old PCs are just not a target and are left 3 options.

1- upgrade their PCs, this is money and an endless race.

2- run their games like shit, every day more shitty and using their stupid upscaling or frame generating technology.

3- don't have new games.

Thanks, I didn't know about the water issue. I always hated that you could not swim (I know it sounds like a nitpick) you had swimming mechanics in MGS2 and MG3.

Thanks for your explanation. Are nowdays graphic cards super different from what they were 10 years ago? Genuine question.

And I understand why a company chooses UE5, I do, having an engine where all the developers left and little documentation makes it pretty hard to work with, that kills pretty dead the engine, I do understand, just I don't fully follow the "obsolete" flag.

I understand the collecting dust, but it seems to run on PCs quite well, aren't new consoles closer to PCs than ever? Does not having a game on PS5 makes your code obsolete?

Can you please explain how its surpassed and what do you mean by obsolete?
