I don’t think that’s the good idea even if possible to do with env variable. This should just work correctly, you either miss something in your system or hit some nasty bug of your distro/build or it’s general KDE bug

Do you mean PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 ? If so, you don’t have Vulkan compatible hardware (GPU from like before 2012) or missing drivers. With this flag you use OpenGL rendered instead, that is inferior in every way. If you try it on modern hardware with the right driver in place you’ll get much worse performance, if it even works. This flag shouldn’t be promoted generally.

If you run ancient GPU and want to always fallback to OpenGL, you can put the line

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

in /etc/environment and reboot. No need to set that in properties for every individual game.

Thank you very much Tim Apple

You don’t need to. Modem browsers will suspend unused tabs, cache them on drive and free up the memory, while quickly restoring as soon user activate them. On at least moderately fast systems this happens so quickly it’s hardly noticeable.

I’m pretty sure it is or at least will be at some point

Thanks for nothing Microsoft

“Elon, deep down you will always be cringe no matter how much money or power you have.”

Deep down? To me he’s cringe on the very outside.

I have no idea how people keep recommending that distro to beginners and regular end users only based on what the experience is like right after installing it.

It was such a pain daily driving it for couple of months even for experienced user. updates breaking stuff every now and then, packages reverting versions oddly, causing conflicts in plasma packages, when using SteamDeck mode it would auto-install updates on boot without asking and bootlooping for no reason until I disconnect it from the network, plymouth theme changing randomly. Usually to troubleshoot I had to go to their Discord to see what broke this time. I mean, fine, but this is an unstable tinkerer purely community-driven distro, not meant for those who just want easy time dealing with their PCs. Besides, none of that shit happens on just regular plain Arch btw, once setup properly it updates just fine.

EDIT: maybe it’s any better in Nobara 41?

Plot twist: he grabs you out of the bush and kiss

In the sunbeam

Nice try

That depends on the graphics driver and API:

• On NVIDIA it works pretty much seamlessly, though there might be some caveats with vkd3d games. It (nvapi) is now enabled by default in Proton/Wine I think? (someone please correct me if not true)
• On AMD it works with both radv and amdvlk drivers, though radv is still a little slower than amdvlk/the Windows driver.

Like together? Probably not

It’s not that hard after all, but requires some attention span at least initially

I created an issue in tracker for Steam Linux client: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11518 Found some logs in Steam directory:

Interesting…

What games though

Try to explain your problems to him/her, the most simplistic way so that they can understand it.

Is it the little guy on the left and his buddy on the right, or the other way around?

Wow, after all this they’re still in the denial stage of grief, not knowing they continue to harm themselves

So basically he said that the entire game industry leans towards… Fortnite?
