The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There’s a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It’s fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.

Plot twist: Dad knows about the monster in the woods and that’s why he wants to make sure anon gets home on time.

As a large language model, I don’t have an opinion on this subject.

Well, for starters, unless you’re running a quite old card you should be using amdgpu, not radeon. You seem to have them both loaded.

Post a dmesg?

People are playing it on Steam Deck. Handhelds might not be viable for high end raiding, but there’s a lot more to the game than that.

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

using Plasma

Plasma and “apps apply scaling themselves” works perfectly for everything except non-DPI aware apps. If you don’t use any of those, it all just works.

Ideally all DPI aware apps would apply scaling themselves and non-DPI aware apps would be scaled by the system, but this is complicated to actually do. All apps run in the same xwayland environment at the same DPI under Plasma, so you have to set scaling for the whole environment.

In a business school they’re the same thing: stuff we have to put on the syllabus so it looks like we care about them.

It’s not like they actually teach those subjects, they just need to appear on the timetable. So putting them together works fine.

ERROR: […/src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:1877] Code 0 : Device ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver

This is the smoking gun, btw.

I see you’ve got it working, so I’ll just add a bit of explanation.

AMD GPUs used to use a driver called radeon. It was replaced with the current amdgpu driver. For a while, you had devices that were supported by both drivers and you could choose between the stable radeon driver that was missing features like Vulkan and HDMI audio or the brand new amdgpu driver that had the newest features but was unstable and not well tested.

The kernel has a policy of not unnecessarily breaking things with kernel changes so even though amdgpu has been well tested in the years since, devices from that era still default to the radeon driver and need to be forced onto the amdgpu driver.

I mean, there is, but people have worked hard to set it up so you can just click the button and it all happens.

There’s a lot of foods that only became a thing because someone was really hungry.

Slackware just does as it’s told and gets out of the way.

There’s no such thing as stopping processor degradation, it’s just that it usually takes so long that nobody cares anymore.

I realise it’s a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it’s running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it’s a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

I meant to do this when I built my old system back in 2018, but I found the handful of games I regularly play worked okay on Linux so I never got around to it, and Linux game compatibility has improved leaps and bounds from there.

If it’s a Steam game, for most of them these days you only have to tick a box in Steam’s settings to tell it to use Proton for all games and the game will just work when you click play.

You might give it a try. Or don’t, I’m not your mother.

I’ve stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.

He gets really upset that I won’t spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I’m not sure what.

They’ve done new lighting and stuff like DLSS that applies to the entire game, and they’ve also done a bunch of new textures and art assets for some of the game.

You joke, but I did a ten year old dungeon earlier today and the group talked about how much more colorful it was.

If stuff is designed for big servers that run Linux, it’s easier to get it to run on a desktop PC if the PC runs Linux too because then it’s the same thing except much less powerful.
