Gone from Ubuntu to Debian, but Debian kind of sucks as a desktop environment (constant freezes, poor drivers and performance issues. Also issues with Steam's client)

Where do I go next?

Issue i'm having is that KDE doesn't seem to want to let my monitor go up to 60hz. I click 60, screen goes black then reappears, says 60.. close screen and reopen settings and it says 30fps

also the fonts on kissu are not correct, but I guess I have to find what I'm missing there

Can go up to 50hz, but 60hz doesn't even give me a confirmation dialogue. Maybe the monitor is actually 59hz or something and it doesn't feed that information properly into devices

Gaming on arch kinda sucking

Works fine for me. I use Lutris personally for non steam games and it just works and even when it doesn't it makes tweaking stuff way easier

 No.120398

I might just stream off of my PC using nvidia's Moonlight. People say it works well and is designed for windows to steamdeck(arch). Maybe I'll give lutris a try, but I'm also having Japanese font issues. The cost of electricity on running two computers probably outweighs the hastle of getting arch to work for this

 No.120399

actually it looks like my problem was just getting the audio to go to the right location. Still the Unity japanese text thing is going to be a pain i imagine.

 No.120400

>>120399
Specifics depend on the game but for japanese locale fuckery all you really have to do set 'Locale' under System Options in the game-specific Configuration to Japanese.
Some games need you to install different fonts, that is done by simply opening winetricks and clicking through the options until you find the relevant bit. I recommend making one prefix for japanese games that way and recycling it, I basically just right click > copy on a different japanese game and redirect it to the .exe of the new game.
All of that assuming Lutris. Have fun arching.
If you run into arcane wine issues, this is your first stop.

probably deserves it's own thread, but this moonlight and GeForce Experience GameStream thing is pretty straighforward to setup and use. Seems like there's some possibilities with playing PC games on mobile and stuff

 No.120403

for example, I played some RPG maker eroge and it was clean, but we'd have to see when I put that Unity Game onto my PC.. but with wired internet it's likely going to be not IO bound

 No.120821

Just updated to Plasma 6. i was worried a ton of stuff would break but the only issue so far is that I can't get Steam to scale like everything else is on my display. Doesn't feel any different otherwise. I guess I'll see how Wayland plays out.

Why are people on this jihad against Ubuntu to the point of even refusing to use derivatives of it that remove the things people dont like about it

 No.121393

>>121379
because they make money on enterprise customers and they did telemetry stuff with amazon 20 years ago

 No.121445

>>121379
Because they don't want to deal with their bs like snaps. There's a reason why, even as Ubuntu derivate, Linux Mint still has a backup plan. I don't really have anything against Ubuntu and I'd still recommend it though.

I think the whole "Try Ubuntu Pro beta with a free personal subscription on up to 5 machines." when you installed stuff pissed a lot of people off. Now fair enough normal people will just upgrade everything instead of using an older version of the OS and only installing security patches, but it leaves a sour taste to get ads from your OS when you're installing stuff.
I'm using Mint Ubuntu version because it doesn't give me any headache, but Mint developers are staying ahead of the curve on a potential OHSHITWTFRUDOIN ubuntu moment where they may have no choice but to abandon Ubuntu and switch over to Debian. By having a decent, even if not perfect Debian version ready at every step they would be able to quickly and efficiently move over if required. I would gladly use LMDE, but for now I have no issue with Ubuntu version so there's not much point.

Yeah, I concur that it's relatively seamless, except I do feel a bit of a performance increasing using wayland. It even kept my graphical configuration without issue! If this is on a rolling distro this should be a fantastic release on fixed release distros.
It even looks like Plastik was ported over as a wm if you don't like the more rounded corners of Breeze.
It looks like KDE will be getting a donation for my tax return.
With OpenSUSE's YaST and Plasma it feels like I'm using Windows 7 forever, now I just have to hope KDE doesn't go insane like they did with 4 and I think tumbleweed should be fine for the long haul unless suse goes under
