It's a very quick setup with infrequent troubleshooting depending on your choice of distro, actually. Meanwhile windowlickers have to sit and seethe when their PC forces an update on them.

i recently deleted windows and switched to linux on my desktop, works fine for me. Steam Deck made me realize i dont have to put up with windows. no forknife for me tho
>install multiple versions of linux >nothing works >my main game (mahjong soul) doesn't work in firefox without massive frame drops.
its my nvidia gpu, I'll install linux on my next pc and if it doesn't work with AMD then I'm just going to customize win10 then win11 to be as not shitty as possible.
Not only are linux distros complete garbage as a desktop OS but trying to play any game on linux that's not some huge popular normalgay slop is a nightmare.
Also the people who shill linux constantly like the ones who make these threads do it entirely for gay ideological reasons and know that they are blatantly lying about how easy it is. They only care about you doing what they want and they will tell you whatever they think will make you listen to them.

As someone who has been gaming on Linux for 10 years, yes, it's a meme.
I didn't use my desktop for like 2 months, booted it up to play some vidya, literally nothing works because there's been 1000 updates in that time and all the dependencies are broken. Had to spend an hour fixing everything, figuring out what new versions to use etc.
Will move back to windows soon if I can be bothered.
The biggest issue was with steam by the way.
Before I even started updating packages, steam just would not load in. Had to uninstall it, update all the packages and dependencies, install it again. Then had to sort out the issues with proton.
Linux gaming works flawlessly. For a week. After you spend a few hours setting everything up and ironing out the faults. Until new updates roll-out and break everything.
>skill issues
got a gpdwin 4 free from a company raffle it came with windows 11 and windows 11 is garbage on handhelds. installed bazite on the thing its a nice SteamDeck competitor now. has same steam UI as steam deck, got gamescope, everything, and in a smaller form factor. thing just works and has worked for months now.
Okay, try use a real distro like arch then come back.
"Skill issue" when you're not even using a real distro, instead one that was made for braindead wintards lmfao.
>Okay, try use a real distro like arch then come back
linux is linux Black person.
its all mostly the same file system hierarchy, with a few exceptions like nixos. ive used arch for years, also installed gentoo, now most of my computers use nixos.
bazzite is nice because i can offload updates to a github action and roll back if something breaks. i literally dont have to worry about updates on it. its an appliance.

Why are you using something you hate for a decade? What's the point? Have you considered maybe you should be using something else that fits your needs? Or have you considered that Ubuntu may not be the right choice for you as a "desktop OS"?
Weren't people getting banned for that?
You got banned for using mods. The client is basically shell otherwise.
I switched over the day Proton came out. haven't looked back since.
of course there are always games that refuse to work but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Can someone describe to me why use gamescope? What am I missing out on for not using it? What's the point? Is it just that you all have ultrawides and don't want to use your whole screen?
pros:
-alt tabbing works for all games.
-launching it as its own session from login/tty allows for hdr.
-has a performance monitoir overlay you can toggle
cons:
-best on amdgpus idk if you can even use it with nvidia
>-alt tabbing works for all games. that's why workspaces exist
The other two parts are fine I guess, but I just use mangohud for my monitor. Guess I'm not the target, that's fine.
>that's why workspaces exist
that is still a problem with some games. it will crash when it loses input focus. gamescope will ensure its always has focus in its own compositor (even when it, itself doesnt). its also got framerate limiting features that are nice if you for some reason need it.
Surely you mean >-w 320 -h 200 -W 1600 -H 1200 -S stretch -F nearest
which is the only acceptable scaling for DOS games.
Too bad adding -f for fullscreen makes it disregard my -W and -H arguments and stretch to 1920x1200 instead of pillarboxing to 1600x1200 like I wanted.
But it's rarely an issue for me because ScummVM, DOSBox Staging, and Chocolate Doom already scale 320x200 games properly to pillarboxed 4:3 even in fullscreen mode.
in this specific case the port supports higher resolutions and is not necessarily meant to be running at the original 320x200, it just doesn't do aspect correction right even if you give it a 4:3 resolution
I’ve been having trouble with fractional scaling fricking up my game resolution ever since I got a 4k monitor, but with gamescope in bazzite it just works every time now
.
Specifically the part about >games that only run in full screen and don't have a built-in windowed mode >games that only run windowed and don't have a built-in fullscreen mode
in which case gamescope is a way to force standard features into games which lack them, and thus can be as indispensable as a frame rate limiter for games whose developers didn't see a problem with future hardware rendering the main menu at 9000 frames per second.
I'm worried what's going to happen to old VNs. Windows 11 seems to have worse compatibility too. Source: can't read some of my favorite stuff since updating

I’ve tried to switch quite a few times over the years and what’s finally working for me right now is Bazzite, it’s basically a knock off of Steam OS but it works on desktop
its a total meme, not viable in the slightest, why you might ask?because youre a fricking stupid idiot, youre way too frickin dumb to figure it out. Some people will say "oh its actually so easy" and it frickin is, its so easy my moron mom could figure it out, but not you, you frickin moron. Stick to windows for the rest of your life, idiot goycattle I'm on Arch btw
dual boot is a big meme, bigger still if it's on the same drive (windows likes to frick up the bootloader because it thinks it owns the place)
that said it's not a bad idea to keep your old OS installation accessible while you're getting settled into the new one, i find i always end up forgetting something when i'm backing up the files i want to keep
works for me
Works on my machine

Weird, good to know if I run into that, but I have yet to. Thanks.
a more obscure use for it is to correct the aspect ratio in shitty ports of DOS games that are supposed to have a 1:1.2 pixel ratio
How do you do that?
-w 1280 -h 800 -W 1280 -H 960 -S stretch
