Putin would love nothing more than for that to happen.
Typically, no. AMD (and Intel) are generally plug and play with the same OS install. Drivers are open source and provided via Kernel and Mesa packages.
I do not use EndeavorOS so I cannot confirm if any additional packages are needed for Vulkan support. However, that wouldn't change if you're just upgrading from one AMD GPU to another.
Running Bazzite here and it's been great. Wife made the switch from Windows 10 too (she did not want 11).
Arch was fun when I had an interest to tinker, but Bazzite is great when you really just want to play games.
This is the one thing I miss from using Gnome. I might look into a way to recreate on KDE but I'm already used to using KDE as-is now.
I really started to dislike Windows and projects like Bazzite made it incredibly easy to make the jump. The wife is now gaming in Linux for the same reasons.
Great suggestions. The Ventoy bros are weird. Just use what works for you.
Dunno. I've come to rely on the "cast" functionality from my Android, but finding a FOSS client with even similar functionality is proving difficult.
Chromecast will continue to work, until it doesn't. I'll use that time to test some options and see where I land.
I was already considering Jellyfin as a possible replacement, and this pretty much ensures it.
Checking this out now! So far I like it. Only think I lose from using Gboard is the access to gifs, but I can work around that.
Ouch, didn't realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.
If there's a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.
Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.
But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.
Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.
That's the one. Waiting for the patch to make it's way downstream.
Hopped around for a while and enjoyed Fedora the most. I'm now on Bazzite and love it.
+1 for Bazzite. I stopped hopping around when I tried it with Fedora 38, been using it since.
I've had one problem related to kernel 6.9.x affecting Steam game stability on my old hardware ( i5 2500k). Newer systems have BIOS settings that mitigate the issue. It's not a Bazzite specific problem. However, I was able to roll back and pin a previous image that uses kernel 6.8.x. Will unpin and update once I see a fix deployed.
I loved Doom 2016 and hated Doom Eternal. I'm gonna be real skeptical until I see how it actually plays after release.
Bazzite Desktop Removed Feral Gamemode
Describe the bug After the latest update and reboot, I found that every game on Steam using "gamemoderun %command%" ceased to work. When I look into it further in the terminal using gamemoded -t th...
This is just a heads up for anyone running Bazzite Desktop and using gamemoderun %command% to launch games. Took a bit to figure out why my games were no longer launching. 😅
>It's inclusion was an oversight that affected only desktop images. Feral gamemode is completely replaced by the existence of System76 scheduler and joystickawake, both of which require no manual setup on the part of the end user. > >You can simply remove that from your launch options.
