A PS4 can be jailbroken to run Linux. You can then install Steam and Halo and have Halo on Linux on PS4

The only issues I have with Nvidia is Wayland, which sucks because I actually really like Wayland.

Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming? in c/[email protected]

AMD is generally better

Is there a proper way to use several DE's on one distro or is it not advised? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Shouldn't do much if you only have 1 other desktop. For example I used Pop!_OS for years which comes with Gnome, but I MUCH prefer KDE Plasma so I had that installed the whole time and just never touched Gnome (it was still there, removing it would have broken stuff).

Nothing's definitely off in here in c/[email protected]

How is it compared to AppImageLauncher? That's what I've been using for a few things that only ship AppImage.

Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby? in c/[email protected]

Pokémon Blue on a used Gameboy color when I was like 8. All downhill from there.

Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox. in c/[email protected]

You may need to move away from Ubuntu to an Ubuntu-based distro. Pop!_OS still packages firefox as a deb

Which Distro for Theatrical Use? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Pretty much any distro will do, but Ubuntu-based ones tend to be easier to use due to having menus and buttons for most everything. As for apps, here are my suggestions

~3D~

Blender

~DAW~

Ardour

LMMS

Bitwig

~VIDEO EDITING~

Davinci Resolve (if on Nvidia)

Kdenlive

Olive (alpha software, be wary of crashes and save often)

~IMAGES~

GIMP

Krita

Photopea (web app)

Inkscape

Lights may be possible with OpenRGB but I haven't personally messed with these kinda of software

Hello, I’m going to be getting a new computer soon and have thought about linux. Questions inside in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Start with something designed around a graphical interface, pretty much anything based on Ubuntu will do this (Linux Mint, Zorin, Pop!_OS, etc).

If you use Nvidia Pop!_OS has an ISO file with Nvidia drivers already installed. It isn't hard to get Nvidia drivers on other distros but the more done for you the better.

Also recommend, refind has saved my dual boot machines more times than I can count

Welcome to dual booting with Windows! Best advice I can give is try to keep Windows away from your Linux drive as it doesn't like to share. A 2nd drive for your Linux install can save a ton of headache (I went so far as to put Windows on my old PC when I upgraded).

HELP! BG3 failing to launch on Steam in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Sounds like Steam and Proton may be broken. do sudo apt purge steam and then delete all your Proton prefixes in I think its ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata (the folders will all be game ID numbers) then reinstall Steam and try again. I'm running the game with the launcher on Pop!_OS 22.04 which is Ubuntu based and have no problems. However I set in the launcher to use Vulkan instead of DirectX
