Meh, absolutely not a fan of 8GB GDDR. It's already very tight in 2025, and that's speaking from personal experience. I upgraded from a 3070 because the VRAM just was not enough. But that was in Dec 2024. I have very serious concerns about the usability of this device in a few years

Forza Horizon 5 and Jurassic World Evolution 3, but recently I got the urge to play some more classic PC games from the 2000s. I'm ordering some (used CDs) for my birthday and see if I can get them to run. Ahh, the nostalgia! :wub: Those were the good old days when ownership was still a thing

This is really cool, while there's already an implementation of Directx 1-11 in the form of WINED3D (openGL), Vulkan is just better. Try it for yourself, the installation is dead simple. In the Demo for Harry Potter 2, all the graphical glitches with the transparency were entirely gone when I switched to Vulkan rendering :wub:

How well does crossover handle the newer microsoft offices these days?

Fifteen years ago, it handled office2000 very well, only problem being the help function.

You can only run up to Office 2016 in Crossover, everything above that is not possible to run through Wine, you need a VM, Winapps, Winboat, or a Windows Docker Container for that
I use this https://github.com/eylenburg/linoffice [External Link] which works pretty well, it auto installs everything for you, and you can then simply launch Office like a native app with full Linux integration

Regular users just wants to run their games and discord and a web browser, for which immutables are perfectly sufficient, just look at SteamOS, it has far more share than any other distro on Steam and it's immutable. If you see them as restrictive, there's enough mutable options out there you can use. I value the stability and robustness of Bazzite, its zero maintenance nature, the fact that updates (even major OS upgrades) are instant, and that you basically have a cloud save for your operating system built in, in addition to local rollback options.

@bara there's 2 Steam Deck models, 0405 is the LCD and the OLED has a different codename. I believe AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH)
12.64% is the OLED

Crazy that they would drop support for products that are only 2 years old, RDNA2 is from 2020 and some RDNA2 products lower in the stack are from 2023,such as the relatively unknown Radeon RX 6550S and Radeon RX 6550M and some China variants of the 6750. Nvidia still fully supports Turing in their Windows/Linux drivers and that's from 2018

I think I ran into the incorrect Steam Play thing when I purchased Forza Horizon 5, right after purchase it would tell me 'only available on Windows' and would refuse to install it, this was fixed after a restart
