Depends on the desktop, in my experience scaling works pretty well on KDE and GNOME Xorg (GNOME Wayland is kind of a clusterfuck in this regard, fractional scaling wasn't even there last time I used it), but with anything else it's pretty hit or miss. I definitely wouldn't say they look dated though, you can theme your Linux UI to look like Literally Anything

I actually get better fps on Linux than windows11 with monster hunter world, although I haven't tested more games, performance is looking good, I don't know about ray tracing I don't care about it I'm on Arch with plasma(Wayland)

Lol yeah im on firefox now, it was to try out vaapi decoding on amd as mesa 24.1 fixed one problem with decoding on chrome and there is a patch for chrome to work with decoding under wayland as you had to use xwayland to get decoding working right now, so i was using a aur package of chrome called google-chrome-wayland-vulkan to get it working But yeah back to firefox as this month chrome is removing ublock and even my friends have moved aswell because of this change lol

I concur with your sentiment that the Linux Foundation is in name only. Corporatism has largely perverted it.

What desktop environment are you gonna use?

@@linuxnext she wanna use KDE

You might be able to get away with opening videos in fullscreen, so it stays in the background. Well, Wallpaper Engine is essentially that.

This is a hard one, kde is one of the best ways to use live wallpapers by using a plugin in kde that will use your wallpapers from wallpaper engine buuut it doesnt support every codec that wallpaper engine uses so not every wallpaper will work properly but it does work when it can, it could also be not supported anymore as i havent used it since kde plasma 5 Its last update was 2 years ago yikes store.kde.org/p/1475528/

@@linuxnext Is it possible to simply run Wallpaper Engine under proton and run it in fullscreen? Idk, just throwing an idea

Like i said at the end of the video, Donations, sponsors, this is already happening, even a couple of dollars count for features getting done on your favourite desktop or distros you use

That's most anything to do with tech, both in Linux and other platforms. Best thing to do is just ignore them and don't donate to platforms that support them.

true

Agreed, looking at you mozilla and your shady financial backers!

First problem, you need to add the ubi launcher to the custom shortcut you created after running the setup file, that will be in your wine prefix that it created which is the path you installed the launcher on Second problem do you have fractional scaling on? And what desktop environment

@@linuxnext I am using Pop!os the Nvidia version. Scaling is not active. After reinstall oder Nvidia driver I could fill in the login. But Proton ge not let start the launcher as well.

@@linuxnext an no, after changing the präfix of ubisoft to the c driver, where it is installed, it always starts the new installation.

@@m1cs0w try deleting your wine prefix so it can work with proton-ge

Sorry, the best option for using proton-ge is using bottles or heroic, i use bottles as its pretty easy to install ubisoft and set the runner which would be proton-ge and adding an environment variable for nvidia would be easy aswell For adding the environment variable on bottles you go to the bottle you created, environment variables, add DXVK_CONFIG then click the tick and add 'dxgi.customVendorld=1002'

Well that is a feature people want the majority of users also dont have that feature available, there are lots of users who have been asking to move over who dont have or use hdr. i have hdr and i dont use it because its too vibrant and i dont want to use gamescope to get the feature available in games but i do see your point tho and when its ready on the majority of popular desktops then those users can move over

Not a lot of people care that much about HDR

@@linuxnext It was an example out 300 I could have chosen. Linux desktop has a long way to go. People don’t wanna hear it, buts it’s true.

@@neofox2526 It was one example of You can find hundreds more where they need to improve.

The fragmentation is the biggest issue. The entire Linux Desktop experience is held together by a bunch of hobbyist software developed in some generous people's own free time. It is a cobbled together experience, with too many moving parts, just having to mention a piece of many in the puzzle like gamescope should tell you all you need to know. And that's just one thing. One variable that depends on other variables built upon volunteer software that has no guarantee or liability. The only way Linux will really succeed in the Desktop is through something like the already successful SteamOS, when that is officially supported on the Desktop as a Valve backend OS. Unfortunately the way the entire Linux operating system is put together is a mess, it either goes fully Immutable with a curated Flatpak experience, or the community needs to settle on consistent standards as a whole, the later looks impossible for me. I honestly much prefer the way *BSD is handled, as a whole consistent OS instead.

Exactly It's pretty insane how much valve contributes with their engineers and redhat helping out with like nvk/nova recently or funding fedora as a sponsor :)

The Linux Foundation, sadly, is corrupt.

That will probs be up to nvidia to improve and thats where funding comes in again where nvidia doesnt put as much funding into their drivers. Thats where companies like valve started funding development with amd and performance on amd on linux is great. but then you go to intel and you cant even play dx12/vkd3d games lol because well intel doesnt see the future of making money on linux desktop for things like gaming but this could change soon. hopefully more handhelds come out with different hardware running linux and that will force companies like nvidia and intel to improve on these things This is where nvk can rlly make a difference as valve, redhat and others are helping nvk get good at desktop and gaming so hopefully that improves so that more people can move over

i agree

It's far more than just funding for Linux, as it's also about how that funding is spent.

What distro are you using?

wiki.archlinux.org/title/hybrid_graphics this should give you everything you need to know about how it works and how to change it

@@linuxnext Thanks, but there is no example to my use case, maybe for apple macbook this switch from intel to amd don't work or no one try. I can't install drivers on integrated intel GPU to my macbook pro 2015 on Fedora, always see AMD card and nothing more. Even Google don't give me any example how do that. I am new on Linux, macos and Windows work fine and silent on my Mac, but I want switch to go open source, but maybe my laptop is to old and no one make this problem solved, and me is only one person with this problem.

hey, i am on a rtx 2070 super (linux mint cinnamon (edge kernel)). using the nvidia env var and proton latest/ experimental. ubisoft connect launcher was not responsive or just a black window. fixed it by changing the driver version to nvidia-driver-535 from 545. now everything is working, but performance is so bad - like 10fps in main menu. tried steams experimental proton version in heroic and it does not fix the perfomance problem. any ideas? thanks in advance und great job with this video 😉

@muhkuh0108 you can try enabling nvapi to see if that increases it but you shouldnt need to as your using experimental, try proton-ge aswell as thats what iv been using on amd and it works great, also try clearing your wine prefix/fake windows folder also which can also delete your game so make sure its backed up before hand

@@linuxnext tried all of this, but didn't fix the performance issue - guess with nvidia it is not that simple sometimes 😁

@@muhkuh0108 yeah, if it was me i would try out a distro like bazzite or nobara with the 555 driver to see if that makes a difference, i rlly dont know then so good luck on finding how to make it work better :P

Installed 555 via ppa. Didn't make a change. I am giving up on this one 😅

you can install it, you cant play it tho lol you can blame vanguard for this dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/what-is-riot-vanguard-explaining-lols-new-anti-cheat-release-date-and-more

?

yep but that tutorial is outdated, whats your hardware?

Cpu: i7 11700k Ram: 32gb Gpu: rtx 3060 ti Distro: Zorin OS 17.1 ​@@linuxnext

@EnryrYagami should be fine just use proton-ge, if you have bad fps use the environment variable in the video to trick the game that your using amd

​@@linuxnextthank you.

Yes i have, Thats because they changed how the cursor behaves in focused modes because of vrr problems, before in some games moving the cursor around would make games flicker because it would cap the fps of the game when you move the cursor so they changed it to this

Very unsure as it does not happen for me on amd

Faster is a very vague word, kde and gnome are on par, its more what features do you need for your desktop as gnome is missing some vs kde, kde tends to develop a lot faster with new features and improvements while gnome takes a couple years to implement new features but tends to be stable when they arrive as all the bugs are ironed out and they think a design take longer as gnome is very minimal with ui decisions

​@@linuxnext All i'm looking for to be faster with no stuttering at all , i'm using KDE for my thinkpad t470 and its perfect & really fast compared to my main desktop i use gnome but it tends to be slow sometimes

Haha, i think that was just for testing, i have total of like 2 hours of osu lol
