Yeah, I played it for a lot of time on my Linux desktop, and I never understood why it was unplayable on Steamdeck Nice work!

Oh I never saw this one . Got a good laugh! Nice post!

Radv is usually faster than amdvlk Except some edge case like ray tracing or some engine, you will get better performance with Mesa radv

You can even have both of them installed and use amdvlk only for games that works better there, but really they are not too many. These are some Phoronix tests on the matter if you want to check them out. ^^

I played for a lot of time Elder Scrolls Online on linux without any problems (except some addons) but in generally it works really well, without performance problems or something else. I used the official launcher with lutris and had a lot of good time playing it.

I am on Rx 6700 XT with Ubuntu and it works flawlessly

I’ll suggest you tu use a PPA to get the latest Mesa like kisak-mesa

Until two months ago I was using gnome Xorg to play my games. Then I bought a second monitor for my games station and I had to switch to plasma Wayland to still use the freesync. So now I’m using kde plasma to play , but I still prefer gnome, and probably switch over again after they implement the vrr patch for wayland.

Right now, you can use xorg or wayland with multiple monitors and different refresh rates without problems. What is really the problem, at least for me, it is the VRR( variable refresh rate) like freesync. If one of your monitor has it, and you need it while playing, for xorg with gnome you must have to turn off the other monitors, while with wayland the patch for it it’s not merged yet.

Yeah thanks to wine developers, valve funding, vulkan and all the projects in the middle, it really has come a long way. Anticheat and drm are just the last brick we missing for a complete support for almost every game.

Gamescope should be wayland based, it uses xwayland for wine/proton games

Yeah , would be awesome

My pc desktop: R7 5800x, AMD RX 6700XT e 32 GB DDR4, Kde wayland with a multimonitor setup. And then my steamdeck
