I think those are better for Steam HTPCs (like the ill-fated Steam Machines) or handhelds without trackpads. The problem is that HoloISO isn't official and ChimeraOS is a bit incomplete for desktop uses compared to SteamOS 3.
As a coder, I seek a stable+customizable distro. I was considering making a custom Fedora ISO with Hyperland. However, with Red Hat's recent move, I'm unsure about Fedora's direction. Could you recommend the next stable+Customizaable distro for me?
1:06:20 I think your lutris process did not get the exported environment variable, because if you export a variable in a terminal then those variable is only set in that particular session. You need to export the variable in your ~/.xprofile for that to work.
OMG, thank you so much on the threads and multiple downloads plug. I just built wine on my Arch Hyprland and holy shit did it take forever on my 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 8-Core 10th Gen. I knew something was wrong, but as i am a little newer to Arch, i didn't know what to do. You are amazing.
i had winesync problem too like 6days ago, you just need to open wine icon in lutris, open setting and click on the esync botton to turn it off/on. It fixed the problem to me and prob it was going to fix it for you too
I really want to love Arch as my daily driver gaming distro. It for sure is excellent on the Deck. Love the power of pacman. Problem is everytime i have ever tried it, eventually after a month or so, a rolling update bricks something. Having same issue with Fedora options. Talking about some pretty well known distros including gaming centered options. In the end I am back to POP OS. Debian is were everyone is for a reason i guess. I just am not a fan of Ubuntu theming so tend to lean POP OS or Zorin lately. It just plan works and doesnt break things at the first updates like other distros are. Arch seems to break WINE installs and Federa seems to screw up my hardware / including mouse and keyboard and wants badly to use Wayland which also seems to break stuff. Every time i turn it to x11 some update converts it back to wayland and then I have to unplug and replug my keyboard and mouse to be able to log back in, and it breaks my 4k resolution on top of that and adds a ghost curser and...and....and.... lol. I WANT to love them for being gaming centered distros but I just want reliabilty at this point lol
@4cps777 yes. That is what my post says lol. I have used Arch more than any other distro actually but updates always force me off of it when it breaks stuff, normally WINE installed games and such. I've used Manjaro, Garuda, and built Arch from ground up just to have the experience of it. Also Steam Halo which was fine and works on the Steam Deck flawlessly, but was a bit lack luster on desktop so far. Maybe one day they will push a full desktop OS out. Who knows?
@@thomaslange2262 Interestingly enough manjaro was the one that frequently borked me But I also only upgraded my arch install every Friday, and I treated Manjaro the same way.
Funny thing... 6 Months with my new PC.Always used Arch.Steam,Proton...Ori and the will of the wisps...the type of games i play...No way to play that on 4k and 60 fps.1080P?No problem...ish.Yesterday i tought to try Windows...Cuts 4k 60 like a hot knife through butter...I really love KDE but...If windows runs that well with all that bloat it has behind,whats the purpose in paying all that money and not having the best results?Ryzen 7 7700x,32 gb ddr5 5200,RX550 4GB (Old card),Aorus B650 Elite AX MB.Gaming on linux has no sense.
@@chrysalith this is also true for single player games, if you ever wonder why the game is slightly microstuttering under Linux and on windows it is running butter smooth even on lower fps, this micro lags are frametime spikes and its ruin single player experience also
You just made the case again for why Linux still is not used by the general public. Just way too complicated. Most people just want the OS to work. They don't want to become an endpoint/OS/Linux engineer to make it work. But thanks for the enjoyable session as you hacked your way to getting D4 to work :)
You realize that _that's the point of some distros like Arch?_ If you don't want to do that, there are distros like Ubuntu, POP!_OS, Tuxedo OS, and Linux Mint that are much easier for beginners to Linux. Arch (and Gentoo) aren't meant for the general public using computers; they're meant for enthusiasts who know what they're doing.
@@U1TR4F0RCE Most of those types of gaming comes when anti-cheat is used for competitive FPS but isn't enabled for Linux. And some of those games (notably Valorant) use "anti-cheat" software that are better to call rootkits.
Man there is user friendly distros; mint , ubuntu & flavors , manjaro/garuda , popos Arch is intended for admins, learners , tinkerers , ...etc. while valve did take arch & spin it into something pretty usable on the steamdeck It is just you need to read a little bit, know how to handle some linux commands remember people were not born with windows knowledge, they learned it somehow & when stick they do similar things as on linux, they edit the registery or INI files, & they read the manuals...etc.
Some journey that Chris Thanks for sharing Arch is kinda tough, maybe Manjaro or Garuda or Endeavor OS give easier & faster experience for users Remember to install the firmwares with: yay -Syyu mkinitcpio-firmware
