SteamOS-like couch gaming Linux distribution GamerOS expands with a new release

Sounds like a updated version of SteamOS, or bleeding edge sort of thing. Except SteamOS is Debian based?

There are some Mali APU's (GPU) that do quite well at 3D graphics now. But typically that is done on Vulkan API. Snapdragon is the APU that has the most GPU performance currently but I don't think that is part of ARM?

Is Apple ditching Metal API? I heard it has been left in the dust and the games that do run on it don't perform too well.. this is why you embrace open standards!

Quoting: tuubiI also gave it a go out of curiosity

Yeah it worked for me however I moved to installing Xanmod1 which people are saying is better. However the RT or EDGE versions didn't boot correctly for me, but the normal one did and is working fine so far.
I've got them all as boot options in the menu now for testing.

Giving 5.9.0-9.1-liquorix-amd64 a go now, hopefully it isn't a bad performer.

War Thunder gets a huge upgrade along with Vulkan by default on Linux (updated)
19 Nov 2020 at 8:37 am UTC

yeah I've tried that trick before but it always ends in problems, missing controls, sound, or freezes on switching back to desktop... all sorts of things. Haven't tried it in a while however so I might give it a shot now.

Ahh, it works now it seems. Sound plays in background but that's ok.

EDIT: tabbing back to TTY1 crashes the warthunder game. Ell well.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 and the RX 6800 XT are out today
19 Nov 2020 at 2:51 am UTC

Have a 6800XT on pre-order (was only option). Who knows if it will be for-filled... They took my money non the less.

I would also like to point out that the reported clock rates are not correct when people saying they can overclock to the moon.

This same issue happened a fair while back with older AMD cards where they would say whatever high clock but perform the same or worse then stock.
