0ops, (edited ) in gamescope through the heroic launcher is WAY better than steam

Their discord is top notch. Really patient and helpful when you get stuck. I use heroic to play rocket League on my steam deck

nyan, in Do I actually need to do anything to go from GeForce to Radeon?

Provided that the approriate drivers and binary firmware blobs for the new card are already on your system (and with a user-friendly distro like Mint, they should be), I’d expect you to be able just to plug in and go. The only extra hoops I had to jump through while sidegrading from a 1050 to an AMD card of the same era were due to my having a hand-configured kernel and X setup with no AMD drivers.

mvirts, in Reading .mcn files?

Can you provide the file on GitHub or something?

I’ve been trying harder to diversify my youtube content. Please share links to visible minority (from a western pov) creators who post similar content. Why are there so few?

I was forced to use heroic launcher because I couldn’t get genshin impact to run on steam from my games drive. It kept pushing it to my home drive and I didn’t want that. I’m now in love with heroic launcher(this is my first time ever using it). So beautiful and very practical. I also use it to install regular .exe files. Very solid. I’m going to donate to the project, that’s how much I actually like it 😄

Kindness, in One single partition for Linux versus using a partition table?

You’re using it well. Nothing wrong at all.

Butterface excels at keeping data safe-ish or at least lets you know when to throw in the towel, and which bits you’ve lost. It’s also write intensive if you open a file with write permissions, which is harder on your drives.

Btrfs is great for the data you want to keep long term.

Also UEFI has some nice advantages if your computer isn’t a dino that can’t handle it.

Do what works for you, and keep on keeping on.

chunkyhairball,

This. Too many partitions for a home system can get pretty stupid pretty quick. But OP has just the right amount of separation between system and data. I’ve known people that were uncomfortable without breaking /var (or /var/log) off into its own partition, but that’s really overkill for a stable, personal system, IMO.

computer isn’t a dino that can’t handle it.

I feel personally called out by this statement!

Seriously, the big one for me, is that I like having drive encryption. It protects my computer and data should it fall into the hands of, say, burglers. I also like turning it up to the elevens simply because I’m a bit TOO paranoid. You really need more than 1GB of ram to do argon2id key derivation, which is what fde is all moving to for unlocking purposes, and BIOS just can’t do that. My main workstation is using a powerful, but older mobo with gigabyte’s old, horrid faux EFI support.

Another good one for the security-conscientious person is Secure Boot, meaning that you control what kernels and bootloading code is allowed to boot on your computer, preventing Evil Maid-type attacks: wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot

That’s pretty far fetched, but maybe not too out of the question if you, say, work for a bank or accountant.

Of course none of that matters if you don’t practice good operational security.

But Heroic doesn't launch Steam games, right? Or did they change that recently?

I used to love Bryant Gardener when he was The Linux gamer.

But since the announcement of the steam deck, his view has narrowed far too much. He hasn’t made a non deck video in like a year.

Doing this by hand is challenging but possible.

First you need a hex editor, not a text editor. xxd on linux will get you started but you might want something a little more user friendly.

Then look for a label for a value you know, xxd and other hex editors will show ascii text on the side. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify the value (in hexadecimal, probably 4 bytes but could be 1, 2, or 8 as well) somewhere before or after the label. You might have to get familiar with endianness, two’s compliment, and binary floating point before the numbers make sense.

Once you know how to read a value after a label you’ll need to find some label for the information you don’t know. If it isn’t displayed in the program it might not have a super readable label.

ChristianWS, in gamescope through the heroic launcher is WAY better than steam

Hmm, the GUI is reasonable and easy to understand. I wonder if Gamescope can be changed while the game is running, so it could be put in the Quick Access menu

Maybe strings can get some usefull output too?

I would also add Brodie to the list, and I follow 7 of them. I have kinda tried to steer clear of DT because I’m not a fan of some of his off-topic videos. There are 2 I don’t follow: Veronica Explains (I was going to check her channel out, but forgot) and Gardiner Bryant (this is literally the first time I’m seeing or hearing about this guy, so I will go check him out)
