Episode 39: Fedora's Skeleton Village

This episode was short prepped and spontaneous. It's been a little while since our last show and we've both had several life events holding us up from doing show prep. We didn't want to keep prolonging the recording of this episode so we decided to give it a shot recording with no prep.  The topic of AI in game development led me to ask Chat GPT to help me plan a fantasy survival horror game. The results were so good I may actually be making this game and after a suggestion from Discord, I may be making it in Godot 4. Given my recent struggles running the ARC A770 on Linux Josh suggested I try Fedora 38. Ultimately, we're putting our faith in Linux 6.4...

Episode 38: Planning a game with AI and struggling with the ARC A770

In this episode Josh and I both test out our new ARC A770 GPU, While it's not easily compatible with Linux just yet, this card has some exciting potential because of it's performance and cost.  We dive into what Wayland support for Wine means for Linux gamers, Flathub to support purchases and donations, Fungus computing power, and much more.

certainly entertaining and hopefully helpful we strive to cover the topics at the heart of the Linux gamer.  From Proton to Vulkan, from Linux native to voiding the warranty. We discuss news and updates from the Linux community, our gaming habits and wanderings along with reviewing a game each week.

This week we're talking the latest Nvidia news / progress on my game idea and how learning Unity is going / drawing inspiration from 90s Konami and Capcom

Episode 27: We promise not to say F@d*ra

NEWS Gnome new governance and other updates - https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2022/05/twig-43/ Nvidia moved many features behind firmware before opensourcing it’s kernel - https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidias-moved-most-of-the-code-to-firmware-before-releasing-open-source-linux-drivers/ Budgie submitted for inclusion in Fedora 37 - https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/uq3gah/budgie_desktop_has_now_been_submitted_for/ Fedora 36  I finally ditched Windows and only have Fedora installed on my laptop I have Fedora installed to my 500gb ssd and I created a raid 0 between my 2 nvme drives to put all my games on.  I had to fix a permission issue before I could install any games to the mount point. I set the permission on the btrfs subvolume to 770 so that my user and group have full access to the mount. I made sure to give no permissions to everyone so that it's a little more secure.  After setting those permissions I could install all my games and play them. Jedi Fallen order works fine now I can pause the game and resume and it plays normally. Horizon zero dawn can now use dlss. One issue I am still having is very strange. I could open the steam flatpak via the app icon totally normally until I set my nvidia gpu as the primary active gpu. After that I now have to use the flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam command to start steam. When switching back to intel/nvidia or just intel gpu the app icon can start steam again. Wayland was a no go for any of my games so I am back on Xorg. Other than games though, wayland has come a long way and works with all my other applications.  Nobara Project 36 My attempt at upgrading failed. NP documented a fix to allow for a successful process but after completion there were too many issues with the nvidia kernel to make it worth sticking with the installation. I opted for reinstalling.

Games I tested  Horizon Zero Dawn - There was a fix for the messed up grass and sound crackling during my testing so I went back and tested this one again and is now actually mostly playable on every distro except Garuda and ZorinOS. Witcher 3 - This game had a lot of stuttering under anything but Linux Mint. Metro Exodus (Linux Native and Proton) - Linux Native was not playable on any Distro I tried due to being half cut off of my screen or severe stuttering. Proton on the other hand was not too bad for the most part but Linux Mint still was the smoothest. Halo CE Anniversary - Played mostly smoothly with some stuttering on the arch distros but was totally playable on all the Ubuntu distros. Splitgate - Has some general Linux issues when comparing it to Windows but is playable on Linux with over 200 FPS on my system just some stuttering issues. Valhimne - Playable on all distros except Garuda. Project Zomboid (This game ran fine everywhere I tested probably due to low system requirements)  Arch Distros I tried  Manjaro - Was mostly fine but had some glaring issues such as multi monitor issues and gaming performance issues. Endeavor - had some fairly deal breaking bugs like OBS and Screenshots not working with Plasma and generally more stuttering than on most other distros. Garuda - Just plain didn’t work out of the box with its dragonized plasma desktop.  Ubuntu Distros I tried  Ubuntu Gnome 21.10 - This statement goes for all but Mint but basically stuttering was very prevalent on all distros except Mint. Other issues I had were getting optimus to work properly.  Kubuntu 21.10 - Other issues I had were, games not popping up on the right screens I wanted and super + shift + arrow keys did not help. FerenOS - Same kinda issue as Kubuntu with games not working on the right screen  Zorin OS 16 - Extreme stuttering in most games even with graphics set to low Linux Mint 20.3 - Once vulkan shaders were compiled ( which I allowed every distro to compile that I tried) The games ran smoothly with little to no stutters or slowdowns. Even my laptop fans are controlled correctly on mint out of the box. Caveat to that is I do have to set the speed profiles under windows but once thats set mint uses the correct settings.

Episode 21: Amazon Luna and Distro testing marathon

Downgrade Horizon Zero Dawn Github Script  Ubuntu 21.10 performance     * FPS between 40 and 65 roughly     * Frametimes highest about 25ms   Gameplay seems smooth  Windows 10 21H2     * FPS between 75 and 115 with DLSS enabled     * FPS between 60 and 85 without DLSS   Frametimes no more than 15ms Gameplay extremely smooth  Conclusion   Valve and Ubuntu have a long way to go to catch up with Windows performance from what I have seen. I have tested over 20 games both Windows and Linux native games and almost always Windows pulls out ahead. This is not an issue with games that run at a high FPS (60 FPS or higher) but becomes much more noticeable when getting below 60 FPS.   Heaven Dust and Heaven Dust 2  Dev - One Gruel Studio     * Two person team from China     * Publisher - Indienova ProtonDB - Has no reviews yet (I’ll be writing one) I had 0 issues or modifications to get the games to run. “A love letter to Resident Evil.”  A cutsie, anime, chibi style survival horror. Our character wakes up locked in a maintenance closet. We don’t don’t know immediately who he is or why he’s trapped in this zombie infested mansion but we learn about that as we solve puzzles and make our way out of the mansion/laboratory. Journals     * The story is told through journals in true 90s survival horror fashion.      * The localization is relatively bad. Better in Heaven Dust 2 but still not perfect. Combat     * Controller - auto aim system     * Mouse/keyboard - MG:S style       HD1 has an animation issue, when bitten by zombies the animation takes longer than the zombies next bit. Often leading to one bit means death.     * HD2 map is a little tighter than HD1 and zombies are often hidden behind the isometric wall and bit you without any clue they are there. The rooms in HD2 are blacked out before entering. Puzzles     * The puzzles in HD1 are fantastic and sprawling. Leading the player to run back and forth across the already explored map to find keys and items needed to inch further. The items are callbacks to the RE franchise without being spoilers to the puzzles.** Vending machines      * HD1 has a vending machine system. Each section of the game has 1 vending machine that can sell the player a map, gun powder, and various magazines.      *  The currency is coins gained from killing zombies.      *  The magazines are buffs to PC.
