@gamingonlinux Been really struggling to get the Valve Index working under Linux personally... First I had issues due to steam being installed as a flatpak, and had to install it just using the .deb, then had issues with kernel and driver version compatibility, now having issues with using it as an audio source with pipewire as it doesn't become an audio source unit you start the SteamVR application, and Pop!_OS doesn't become aware of it... It's a NIGHTMARE...
Open source is fun, driver developers on the AMD RADV Vulkan driver are not happy Intel beat them in a benchmark...here comes some optimisation ๐ ๐
@gamingonlinux I thought you had a service agreement stuck on your mail server that the sender has to agree on GPL all games and provide a Linux native binary of them too if connecting to your mail server.๐
@gamingonlinux Hoping it's the 7040 series and not the 7045 series. 7045 would mean it has to be paired with a RDNA 3 7000 series mobile GPU which is delayed to summer.
@gamingonlinux I am a little bit curious. What is the current status of drivers for Radeon-based graphic cards on Linux? My last experience is from 2018 and those were crappy and unstable (I am talking about fglrx). So far my stance is that I am not going to have Radeon card on my own free will and my own money. Were the things improved? Shall I give them the chance?
Echoing the sentiment of others, this will keep at least two controllers of mine out of the landfill. Now let's hope the battery last cause when Gamers Nexus attempted to teardown the controller it did not give up without a long and arduous fight.
@gamingonlinux not at all, game is in a tragic state, I recommend to steer clear of this game. speaking as an early access player of the game, I have to say, LEGIT nothing got better with that game
@gamingonlinux I ordered a backplate for the Deck directly from their webpage the other day and I donโt think Iโve ever seen a โtipโ option in a manufacturer/hardware checkout before. In the future im going to wait for an Amazon release just to keep a distance.
Damn, the metal plate on the JSAUX clear back Steam Deck case sounds like quite a fire hazard if the reviewer could only take a few seconds touching it before "i feel like my skin is going to burn"
@gamingonlinux yeah I would buy one in a heartbeat if it didn't have that metal plate. I don't understand who thinks it's a good idea. Even if the stock thermals weren't enough (which they are), having an externally exposed heat sink is just bad product design.
@gamingonlinux assuming APU power is cut at 105 C it's just bad user experience. Doubtful it will cause any fires, just a dumb idea! Very doubtful that small of a surface area could even achieve any noticeable cooling.
@gamingonlinux oh look, just like the Pentium 4 daysโฆ Intel is chasing after the GHz againโฆ
I wonder how underwhelming this โThermal Velocity Boostโ will be.
I meanโฆ what kind of ridiculous name is that! Only thing with any kind of thermal velocity will be your CPU cooler screaming fast velocity towards overheating.

@gamingonlinux
if things keep improving at this rate linux vr might be close to windows parity by the time i can afford a headset

(in Scooby voice) "Aaarooo?"
Yeah, I got the 1st Rift consumer (not beta) release. Really loved where that was going.
Then Milquetoast Palpatine bought it and completely ruined everything.
Got by for a couple years by having a block in my router that made facebook unreachable. Now it's just a fancy brick.
