If I use Nvidia open kernel modules, should I choose "open source drivers" or "propriearty drivers"?

Quoting: PirolisiIf only there was a clear guide to install it on Manjaro for a normie like me trying to use Linux.

Use this:

AFAIK you don't have to disable Steam shader cache anymore but I may be wrong.

Wait...

Fixed an issue where Vulkan applications would crash when running under Wayland

YES!!! Not fuck you nvidia! I can verify Vulkan works again on KDE Wayland!

Quoting: slaapliedjeI knew this would be the case, and maintain they should have just stuck with Debian.

IMO sticking to Debian is not possible because new features necessary to make games run (ie. Halo Infinite) and performance improvements first make it to Arch Linux and actually Valve is the one on the front developing these features so Arch naturally makes sense. I don't mean updating every minute like real Arch installations but having an Arch base but doing what Manjaro couldn't: dodging and circumventing breakages while delivering new features by holding base a few days back, not waiting 6 months like current situation.

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut then I also tried the Deck UI on a desktop, and.. well I need a Steam Controller 2 so it has the extra Steam / ... buttons on it :)

FYI: PS and Xbox buttons on respective controllers supplement the Steam button. And for (...) functionality, hit Steam button anywhere and navigate to battery icon with up and right buttons on DPad. (or analog stick)

Quoting: pbI can't wait for a proper "normal pc" release of SteamOS. My self-made-steam-machine went from SteamOS 1 to SteamOS 2 to GamerOS to EndeavourOS but it pines for SteamOS 3 all the time.

If the GPU is AMD, SteamOS 3 or one of its derivates (Holo, Winesap...) should work fine.

Quoting: PinguinoDear Valve,

Please bring the Steam Deck to Norway before we spend all our money on Teslas and sports gear.

Tell that on Twitter and ping @OnDeck on your message.

Quoting: michaLove they approach they are taking. <3
Very much Red Hat style.

Even their FAQ says so!

Are other successful commercial open source companies using a similar philosophy?

Yes, W4 is deeply inspired by the original Red Hat business model. This model consists in providing commercial services to complement and support a fully free and open source ecosystem. That open source ecosystem stays independent and strives from the contributions of multiple commercial actors.

Quoting: randomgamerguy1997with the driver requirements bumped up, I'm kinda screwed unless I can use older versions of proton that don't have the higher requirements

You can modify the DXVK build proton uses. See this thread:
