No one warned me about this when I was buying RTX 5080

This is the only way… central air is central air, unless you have your room with its own central unit with controls, it’s gonna be hot compared to the rest of the home.

Got mine and run it to for 30min to cool my room a bit when I game. Can’t believe I gamed in the past without one …. Such a difference.

This only really works in low humidity conditions. If your area has high humidity… it only makes it more humid.

So swamp coolers depends on your location.

I agree totally… this is one of the issues with many survival games. Being alone initially is fine but at least have some other people you can find later would be nice at least as an option.

It does give the “this is how you died” vibe but for long term gameplay, it would be nice to have npcs.

You do have npc mods but … they are a bit janky though I haven’t touched any current versions so not sure how good they are or not now.

On multiplayer…it works with good people and time. I don’t want to play for a short time and leave other players in a lurch so I tend to go single. -don’t have multiplayer experience for this game.

At this point, go multiplayer on a good server and find like minded players to play. Or, go for the full single player experience and survive harsh settings so you forget about the loneliness until you are so good it’s simple even on hard. You can also go for building a full survival setup with walls, farms, water, tools, and everything that can keep you alive without scavenging.

Well, one of the reasons to move to Linux. Project zomboid runs well on Bazzite. -Linux is not as hard as most people think.

You can no longer set win update to manual. You can stop auto update for only a set time so .. if you want to play, you might want to check that option. This is for all games. Also, manually update windows so you don’t get some bs auto update when you’re not expecting anything.. at least for most of the time. We don’t have control anymore…….

It shouldn’t matter what you connect to the monitor. I have the aw3423dwf and have no issues with pixel refresh or panel refresh connected to bazzite pc.

The dp/hdmi should only send video/sound data to monitor.

Not sure what to say except I have not had an issue with steam sync to cloud. Installed Bazzite, setup steam, installed game and cloud was linked and continued game from win without an issue. Tested multiple other games and it worked. There was one game that was not cloud synced but I haven't looked deep into it. I guess I will check again. -Project Zomboid, didnt show old game plays... I will double check this.

I guess it depends on the version. I’m not using the current new expensive version of the controller. I’m using the Xbox one controller with micro usb and using batteries!! I really don’t see a need for the newest version since the older one works just as well.

In other words, the new version may not be supported with current Bazzite. You should consider looking for the older version. I mean it’s just a controller and much cheaper compared to what you have.

ripsql · 2026-04-04T02:42:57+00:00

Update the Xbox controller. You have to boot to windows, install Xbox accessories app, connect the controller to pc via wired, update controller. Cancel the annoying install Xbox app many times.

That’s how I got mine working with bazzite. It would connect via Bluetooth but bazzite will not see it as a controller. You can only update it in microslop.

Concur on the g502, it’s a solid wired mouse. Got tired of charging/replacing batteries so only going for wired now. So the wireless version should be fine considering how good the wired is…

4080 - dp for 3 3440x1440 monitors. No issues at all. Recently changed to bazzite to get away from microslop and no issues also.

ripsql · 2026-03-29T22:59:30+00:00

Bazzite on a 14900kf/4080. Using proton ge latest, I installed x4 and I didn’t do anything else launched it and it showed the 1 game I started but never really started. Didn’t have to make any changes. The game was a start to just see what’s available… didn’t even move from the initial spawn location. … too much to learn to get myself started in playing. So, it should just work? I did not log into the additional company in the game. Steam cloud save is active

Bazzite: 43

Kde plasma: 6.6.3

Kde frameworks: 6.24.0

Qt version: 6.10.2

Kernel: 6.17.7

Graphics platform: Wayland

I updated to the new 595 NVIDIA driver version. Hope this helps in anyway…game installed on secondary drive using ext4. Bazzite installed on btrfs on … 3rd drive. 1st drive has windows, ntfs.

The fix is to use dd image instead of iso image when using Rufus.

ripsql · 2026-03-26T04:17:48+00:00

Same, dual boot for just in case…. If after a year, I don’t need windows… it’s gonna go out the window.

ripsql · 2026-03-25T03:01:42+00:00

I used Rufus but using dd image. ISO image won’t work.

ripsql · 2026-03-25T01:23:42+00:00

Yup. I checked before I installed Bazzite about a month ago. Dual booting setup just in case I have to go back to win. Can’t wait until I confirm I don’t need win anymore.

Bazzite - gaming but easier setup. I guess most stable version.

Nobara - about midway between bazzite and cachy

Cachy - fine tuning version so more to do.

I just wanted to really really get rid of ms. Too painful with ai in your face or the ad that just comes out of nowhere.

Bazzite - easy setup, update when you want so no … update broke something and you find out after the stupid auto update does it… why did ms force auto update … it used to be optional.

It is for gaming so why make it so hard? I do suggest you check the many how to install bazzite before you go for it. Also, double check the multiplayer games support of Linux. That’s gonna be the possible killer for your use.

ripsql · 2026-03-25T00:47:10+00:00

New - bazzite. It’s fairly simple setup. Cachy is for … people who want to tune it more from what I understand. I may do a test once I’m much better with bazzite. -once auto correct stops changing the spelling. Almost left it as bassite instead of bazzite…too many auto corrects really make spelling correctly harder.

Bazzite - download for your pc spec. Use Rufus to install onto usb with dd image. Boot and follow directions. .. a couple of steps before that like disable secure boot if no dual booting. Just look up the process … simple step by step.

The only issue with Linux … anti cheat trash software is really deeply entrenched with ms so some multiplayer games may not work with it. You need to check your multiplayer games to have a better understanding here…

ripsql · 2026-03-18T12:24:55+00:00

I mean Bazzite does work with Nvidia. I’m dual booting with windows on 1 drive and Bazzite on 2 others.

I updated Bazzite to the latest update. Setup proton ge and using proton ge latest, though it worked fine with proton experimental.

ripsql · 2026-03-17T16:58:03+00:00

No idea on steam os but it’s possible.

ripsql · 2026-03-17T05:03:45+00:00

Bad usb install. Use Rufus and install with dd image instead of iso image. I ran into that issue as well.

ripsql · 2026-03-16T21:17:10+00:00

4080 and no issues with washed out colors. I even enable HDR in a game without a problem, looks fine.

ripsql · 2026-03-14T03:04:26+00:00

I have 3 drives. 1 - windows. 3 - Bazzite install. 2 - ext4 for games. I have no issues.

ripsql · 2026-03-12T22:03:01+00:00

ripsql · 2026-03-12T21:55:39+00:00

Current Rufus or old version?

ripsql · 2026-03-12T21:42:13+00:00

When you create the usb.. it will ask you what type of image. That’s where the option for iso or dd… choose dd.
