it’s a 5700XT, not sure why it show up as a 5600, and because when I built my PC, GPUs were expensive as hell and it’s all I could get my hands on. I’ll upgrade in the coming months :)

Yeah, I’m told NVIDIA is not a very fun experience :(
I don’t play it by my boyfriend does. There’s a whole community over at /c/leagueoflinux that might be able to help!
Yeah im aware. I’ve had to do it in the past, it’s a registry edit IIRC
Thank you! It’s cozy here :)
Don’t apologize! Someone else in the thread asked for it and the original artist was linked. I’m on mobile so linking it will be a pain but if you scroll you’ll find it in better resolution :)
Nope I’m full AMD. I’m not entirely sure how NVIDIA works on Linux. I just know it doesn’t work well with Wayland. And fair enough for not buying AMD. Personally, I would do some research, try some things, but I’m really not familiar with NVIDIA card I’m afraid :(
For sure. I wanted to dual boot at first but I had multiple partitions and drives formatted as NTFS. Plus my EFI partition was too small.
I would have needed to nuke everything anyways, create a neat partition table, install windows again, then install Arch. And then I know you get issues like the time being messed up, Bluetooth can be fudged too. I decided to just try this for a few weeks and see how it goes. :)
That’s fair.
I’ve deleted my Windows partition because I would have needed to reinstall anyways, my partition table was not to my liking and I just said screw it. I hope I won’t regret it! I only have a Win 10 VM at the moment.
If you don’t use the Windows drive I’d say, take that space back :)
It depends and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
You can look up the ProtonDB pages for the games you plan to play, and see how they fare. Some will work out of the box, some will require some tweaks, some will require MAJOR tweaks (I’ve yet to encounter any of those), and some will just flat out not run.
So far, the most “configuration” I’ve had to make was changing the Proton version used by same games. Example: Cult of the Lamb has major issues on the latest Experimental build of Proton, but on 7.0-6, it runs perfectly.
It depends if you’re ready to spend a bit of time on getting bigger games working.
Thank you! I was super excited too when i did my research :) And Stray is actually what I’m playing right now ! I’m seeing some slight stutters but I haven’t configured anything or tried other Proton versions yet.
Well, I haven’t used Pop!_OS myself, but it’s all Linux, so the concepts are the same. You’ll have Steam, Lutris, Proton, it’s all applicable. And it uses ubuntu/debian as a base, so you should have all your apps available, or good alternatives.
Oh no problem at all :) I already know I will, I was missing it, and getting an itch I couldn’t scratch with macOS. Now I almost want to sell my M1 mac for a cheap XPS 13 or Framework laptop…
It’s not my first distro, as mentioned below, I’ve tried pretty much every “mainstream” distro. I tried Arch on a pal’s computer a few years ago, practiced installing it in a VM and kept it for a few years. I went back to Windows when I built my gaming PC before I didn’t know how far Linux gaming had gone. :) So i’m already very familiar with Arch, just not with Window Managers like Wayfire or Hyprland, learning one config file at a time!
For sure, no telemetry, no ads, no tracking. I even use DuckDuckGo and some privacy plugins for Firefox. Debating building LibreWolf but it takes like, an hour.
I’ve read that some packages expect your system to be fully up-to-date, so Manjaro holding some updates back 2 weeks can mess those up. I saw a post here on Lemmy that summed up why Manjaro is probably not the best choice of distro, but again, I’m not super informed on that end. Use whatever works for you :) I use Archcraft, which from my understanding is a slightly modified version of Arch with theming options. Cheers!
It already feels amazing! I feel ike my ultrawide display is actually being used properly. Same for my PC hardware, it feels 10x snappier and it was already super fast :)
Have you tried adding those games to steam and running them through proton ? They work fine on my arch box.
