Thread 719063064

What's stopping you from gaming on Linux with an AMD GPU?

>>719063064 (OP)
I have a girlfriend

I just set up OBS with a PNG image, how many kids do I have to groom for twitch partner?

TPM requirements and kernel level anticheat

I shitpost with Paint so I need a non shit OS.

Switched to Bazzite a week or so ago. Everything from powerline/wireless printing, word processing/pdf editing, watching videos on VLC went as smooth, or even smoother than on windows. Setting things up for ultrawide and gaming in HDR where available (needed a few Environment variables added in i.e. Lutris or Steam), to overcloxking my XTX with lact. Everything easy and fast to setup and understand.
Only thing that for the love of God doesnt want to work is using optiscaler with reframework to enable DLSS in resident evil games..
Anyway, i havent booted I to windows for days.

>>719063064 (OP)
I'm already gaming on Linux with a Nvidia GPU.

>>719063127
Gay. Come back when you have a wife

>>719063064 (OP)
Try turning on path tracing on AMD

>>719063542
yeah windows sucks fat nuts n you know it

>>719063653
>tips fedora

im on cachyos with a 4090 and the fps is about 20% worse than on windows on dx12 games
havnt tried dx11 games though

>>719063748
This means nothing in the Big '25
If it pleases you, I'm currently masturbating to episodes of Card Captor Sakura

Nothing. I'm doing just that.

>>719063659
Yea, try that also on an nVidiot GPU kek

>>719063127
sorry to hear that

>>719063064 (OP)
Why did they not say "with fake frames" though?

>>719063127
Female or male?

Linux gaming still suffers from regressions, either from linux driver updates, linux runtime updates (like proton), and regressions introduced by updates to the actual windows software you're running through its compatibility layers.
You also have to tinker tranny to get full speed in every single one of your games where you care about getting 100% performance.

This
I played vidya on several different distros over a couple years but ultimately just went back to Wangblows
The tinkertrannying can be novel for a while but one day you take a step back and look at the circus act you've created just to run your games and you just wipe your disk and flash a w10 usb

>>719064472
I've been using linux for a month and the only game I had to boot windows for so far is BF6.

>>719064698
I agree that you rarely absolutely have to switch to Windows. Most shit you can get to run, only thing I used W10 for while mainly on linux was some gigantic TESV modpack

>>719064289
>>719064472
Good morning sars, might we know when MS deems us peasants worthy enough to not have our ssd/hdds bricked when updating?

>>719065025
I've been running linux since you had to mail order installation CDs, lower your tone when you're speaking to me.

>>719065025
Look man Windows fucking sucks donkey balls for the most part compared to most modern DEs, if I didn't play video games I wouldn't use it

>>719063064 (OP)
ok now turn on raytracing

>>719063838
based

>>719063064 (OP)
Everything on Linux sucks

>>719063064 (OP)
Because I actually play games

>>719063064 (OP)
Can't generate AI slop.

It's at least 90% good enough these days. If there's something that doesn't work automatically from steam I just go to protondb and find a fix. But I also don't play new AAA releases. If it was more of a challenge I'd probably accept it because I have no interest in using windows or any other ms product outside of work

why doesn't jewvidia just make better jewdrivers for linux

>>719068441
Linux is a waste of time

>>719068441
Too many distros. That's the problem with Linux is that it's so all over the place. I'm having a totally shit time with my laptop's NVIDIA GPU since making the switch. Probably going to install Windows on my 2nd SSD because I still need it for some things and my Win 11 VM runs like shit and it doesn't seem like there's a fix for it.

>>719068793
The distro doesn't mean shit. The drivers work on all of them as long as you have a Linux kernel

>>719063064 (OP)
I'm on a laptop amd is more expensive.
Yes I'm serious

>The Nvidiots crawl out of the woodwork
Try turning on gameworks or old Physx on your modern meme card.
Nvidia proprietary slop does not matter, will quickly be forgotten about and compatibility will soon only be maintained by open sauce AMD drivers.
It works just fine on AMD when using the correct implementation, but game devs will continue to be paid off to use the wrong one.

>>719063570
>optiscaler
I shrimply followed their manual install instructions
https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler/wiki/Manual-Installation
and it worked in 1 game I tested it in

>>719069581
Raytracing sucks on linux on any card. I would know as a 9070 XT owner on Arch

>>719070058
It's not really a priority for them

>>719066730
You're joking or clinically retarded, Linux has always been first to get any new AI-slop related tech. Windows later gets scraps and ports.

>>719064289
>don't play EA sloppa
>use an older proton version
>use a distro with snapshots
Problem solved.

>>719063064 (OP)
Solidworks doesn't work. And no, im not bothering with dualboot

I don't get why valve isn't introducing an official kind of protondb directly into steam

>>719070734
Maybe because protondb is completely useless and you can't trust it for anything.
