Quoting: Mountain ManIt seems strange to me that driver developers have to make their drivers work with games instead of game developers making their games work with drivers.

That's just how it is. Part of those GPU vendor partnerships generally include quite a lot of back-and-forth for optimising and just plain making the game works.

The fact of the matter is that game devs are mostly there to make games, not tinker around figuring out how the driver works.

I've been building my ublue image based on Bazzite for a month now. It's pretty good. A few weird things, like how mesa version that the Bazzite image can sometimes conflict with something else from rpm-fusion if you build your images with a bunch of extra stuff (usually resolves itself within 2-5 days). Also, some of the configs are different from Kinoite, and that required me to re-configure my konsolerc.

But overall it's been pretty good. After I tested Bazzite for a month on my PC, I reinstalled my KDE Neon laptop to my ublue-bazzite image and the CPU scheduler (which borrows system76's) works better for me, and it has all of the configs I want built in.

I definitely recommend people to look up making your own ublue image with their automatic setup. Whether you use the Web UI [External Link] or CLI [External Link], it was very easy, the repo and recipe are laid own in an easy to understand format, and it solves most of people's issues with immutable distro with how you can bake in changes to the image so you can still be a tinkerer, with a side of backup in the form of 90-days backup via GitHub Containers Registry for your image (also makes tracing bad updates easy too - just go through each days till you get where the bad update starts).

On another note... can we get an update to the distro list now pls? There's been a ton of cool and exciting project lately that I hope would be added to the list... though maybe it can be divided between .deb, .rpm, .pkg (Arch), and other families, for statistics purposes?

Yeah, there was something to their language about Linux support that made me have hopium that they weren't lying... and for once, they weren't. Feels weird given all the lies in gaming industry and Linux supports.

I wonder if Global Menu fix for Wayland cannot be handled on OBS side and would need to wait until Plasma 6. It's been quite annoying as the remux menu can't be accessed unless I force x11 for OBS so that it'd work with libdbusmenu and the Global Menu appears on my system.

Fixed Proton Experimental regression: WHITE ALBUM: Memories like Falling Snow

Very nice. A lot of Japanese VN are usually pretty annoying to fix because they're just all over the place in terms of things that they need tweaks for.

It is good that they're being honest and clear that it's Playable but not Verified. I feel like there's been a lot of Verified titles that aren't really Verified-worthy, and that's making the rating be less reliable and trustable.

Although tbh I would just use the ProtonDB extensions and browse games using my browser to check their ProtonDB ratings because I still trust ProtonDB better.

Not surprising that the Nix packagers are holding off for the hotfix. Wonder if there'll be a second hotfix after this.

Quoting: torstenchrI've tried reaching out to derrod (developer) on github but it seems like this issue is not taken serious.... :(

Seems to be this issue [External Link], which is part of this issue [External Link], and currently have an unreleased hotfix ready [External Link].

With support back it allows you to use AMD FSR 1 on top of any Vulkan game (or DXVK / VKD3D-Proton) running through GE-Proton by using WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command% as a Steam launch option.

https://discord.com/channels/110175050006577152/522638111042437132/1131869082162045020 [External Link]

According to GE, you no longer need to do so. Here is everything on how it works on the latest Proton-GE version:

if you want to change the mode and/or set custom mode yes, but you do not need WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1, it's on by default. It does not get used if the game res is set to the same as the monitor res and if the game is not in full screen

[...]

by default these settings are enabled:
WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_MODE=balanced

In order for them to work correctly, you must set the in-game resolution to smaller than your monitor, and set the game to fullscreen mode. Otherwise FSR is not applied

[...]

if you're using gamescope you do not need to touch GE-Proton FSR settings,use gamescope's settings instead, it has fsr built in. and no, multimonitor is not an issue

Note that Ph42oN later corrects the modes that "it should just add all of the resolutions, not just balanced if not using WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_MODE".

Still wish for ProtonDB option. It'd be one less extension on my browser, and I could use the Steam client's Store browser itself instead of my browser without worrying about missing the compatibility ratings.
