My Valve Index not having motion smoothing was the reason I went crawling back to windows. Can’t wait to see how the Frame works with Linux so I can get it back on my PC.

The citation at the bottom doesn’t link to an actual story on Global news. Someone just made this shit up and posted a bogus citation.

I picked up Vampire Crawlers and got a solid 24 hours on it in the last 2 weeks. The game starts off a bit slow with the introduction of mechanics, but when wild cards get involved, it descends into being able to break the game in hilarious ways.

For example, there’s many upgrades you spend gold on in between runs. I strategized to upgrade how much gold I would get in each run. Turned out that wasn’t necessary because you could combo your gold increase per run to over 1000% and gem your card to print money.

I kinda attribute the rules of the game to a “cool uncle” that lets you eat a pint of ice cream for dinner. Is it healthy? No. What is a fun thing to discover and do? Hell yes.

Gave this a shot. I should try it again with egg whites, as the aquafaba gave it an odd aftertaste.

I have a 5080 and it worked well with some issues:

Finding a distro that would boot from USB was a headache. Bazzite and Mint wouldn’t load, but Fedora did. HDR worked in videos, but not in games. I didn’t experience any performance issues with GPU heavy games, though I had to fudge around with Proton versions to get Armored Core 6 to work.

Valve Index worked with beat saber, but I could not mirror the VR to my TV using steam link. The index had poor frame rates for playing non-VR games in theatre mode.

OpenRGB still doesn’t have support to change the RGB on my card (Gigabyte Aorus).

My experience migrating to Linux started off rough. Fedora wasn’t even on my top 3 distro to try (Bazzite, Mint, Ubuntu), but when you’re running Frankenstein hardware with Nvidia graphics, your distro is gonna be the first one that actually boots from a USB drive.

Very happy with it. It’s actually easier to find solutions to most of my issues than it was with Windows 11. I thought I’d miss HDR in gaming more, but not really noticing much of a difference.

If it wasn’t for Linux, I never would have learned about the Heroic launcher, which lets me run games I got from Epic Game store and GOG without downloading those.

Hoping OpenRGB eventually supports my graphics card and HDR gets better implementation for games.

Does it need to be Bazzite? That was my first choice too when I left Win11 earlier this month, but couldn’t get a USB install stick to boot. Ended up going with Fedora because it was the only distro that booted up without issue.
