Nope. I was actually able to get it working the other day after ditching flatpak and re-installing Steam, Gamescope, and MangoHUD with DNF instead. All the guides I read said that flatpak would be no issue, but it was clear that as soon as I referenced any of the above applications in the launch arguments it would fail to load because it didn't understand what I was asking to launch.

So, all in all, I now have Rocket League running at a high framerate with FSR on integrated graphics. It only took two days :P

Yes I am. I appreciate the help though. It seems pretty clear that it's failing to recognize the gamescope argument because even if I use it barebones without any resolutions or FSR arguments it still fails to launch. Wish I could see thr output somewhere so I could know what to look into.

That said, I have since looked into Nobara and Bazzite and they look really promising. They should have all this stuff I'm trying to do baked right in. The point still stands though that these are extra complications that I wouldn't have on Windows with a full driver suite.

Like you I've tried to game on Linux and each time have had to go back. I really want it to work, and to be fair, it DOES work. I love my Steam Deck and it's proof that with enough tuning you can get a good experience.

However if you want to get more than a game just running, that's when you have some issues. Like you I had the X11 multiple monitor issue people describe. Wayland is the fix these days but there were still issues using both different high refresh and VRR at the same time (may be fixed now).

My current issue is trying to get gamescope running when launching games from steam on Fedora 40. I have the flatpak of each and guides say it should just work, but every time I use gamescope as a launch option nothing launches. I imagine there must be a log somewhere but I don't know where that is. I found some open bug reports that say gamescope just broke a few versions ago with Steam, who knows.

The only reason I need to use gamescope is that there is no AMD control panel, so no way to get FSR. This is a lower end GPU and I really need FSR for this particular game to run well. This is the biggest issue IMO, with only basic GPU drivers the community has to figure out how to implement the latest gaming features on their own, which means it is years behind. The VRR/High Refresh multiple monitor issue for example is something windows was doing with ease several years ago and Linux is getting it now.

So you have to give up a lot of multiplayer games, and you have to be OK with just running the game, not anything modern like DLSS or frame gen, or whatever is cutting edge. For this reason I can still only recommend gaming on Linux if you're on a Steam Deck, or if you're a techy person who mostly plays single player titles. Anything more and you will be messing around more than playing.

The F22 is has the lowest radar cross section in the world as far as I'm aware, so... pretty stealthy.

I'm genuinely confused by this statement. Plant based milk lasts SUBSTANTIALITY longer than cows milk. I can leave it in my fridge for weeks, maybe a month and its still good. I legit have not ever looked at an expiry date since switching to soy milk.

That's not even to mention that you can buy them in unrefrigerated, shelf stable cartons. It's longer lasting in every imaginable way.

I actually had a lot of fun in that game as a kid. It had the opposite effect though and made me never want to join the army. You die... a lot. Doesn't work that way in real life.

The only downside to something like this would be electrical surges if you leave the drives plugged.

That touch pad does not appear to be in a usable area.

I can't see how they will be. We know the performance of the high end is not a large generational improvement and they can't compete with what they've already launched. That means what's left is to release... a 7800 that performs about the same as a 6800? Wow.

All they can do is price them aggressively so that they are more appealing than the 6000 generation, but I would be shocked if they do. It hasn't been their MO recently.

I agree with you, it undermines his position and makes him look childish, but you tried.

A few of my friends got the Autonomous ErgoChair and really like it. It's not at high quality as a Steelcase or Herman Miller, but it's a lot more affordable. I'd rather it than one of these gaming chairs.
