There is alot available w/ the Mate desktop set, it's my favorite so far

hellrazor · Jan 28, 2016

Yep, can't wait for Wayland support.

m0nt3 · Jan 28, 2016

Have you tested wayland yet? What been your experfience? Sounds promising.

Been thinking about switching to a rolling release when AMDGPU becomes mainstream (assuming the R9 290 is being supported).

hellrazor · Jan 29, 2016

Well, Wayland itself seems to work just fine. It's just that Mate doesn't run on it, and Weston is a little bare.

I really like that wallpaper, where did you get it?

I uploaded it here (I will be searching for the source website, reminds me of the madmax car drifting video.): https://i.imgur.com/zUr5jdu.jpg

Old picture of my Mint KDE 4.2. My shell is bash. I just bought a 64GB M.2 SSD that I will deploy Manjaro on. I will take care of that today after work! I will install KDE Plasma 5 on it.

I like KDE, but I had weird issues with it, at least Plasma 5 not so on 4. Like when leaving a game I would get a a black outline around every window and newly opened windows until everything was closed then it would be fine. That was on nVidia (bought a second hand 660Ti on the cheap) and my Radeon cards. Running arch with I think Plasma 5.6 at the time.

alexsubri · Jun 15, 2016

KDE Plasma has been known to be buggy at times. I like it a lot, but a lot of people prefer GNOME or XFCE4 over KDE

Wow, more than half of my steam library works on my personal Gentoo 64-bit! Without Wine!

ARK and Atilla even run. Older games from the "non-linux" era run fine in Wine (I'm installing Civ4 right now, which is rated platinum!) Whoever said people who game on Linux hate gaming is nuts, I actually have too many things to install:

Nordic · Aug 31, 2016

@R-T-B My only concern is that the performance doesn't match windows even if you can technically play on linux.

Aquinus · Aug 31, 2016

So, I think I need to wait on AMDGPU-Pro for my 390. I spend a couple hours today trying to finagle into getting it to work without too much progress. I did, however, manage to fix the DPM issue with the open source radeon driver. I can at least play Minecraft at 1080p and average about 18-25% GPU usage at a steady VSync'ed 60FPS. I just got Steam installed again so, I'm going to trying something more like Cities: Skylines once I get it installed. It didn't run great on Ubuntu 14.04 with fglrx but, I'm optimistic that my changes will show some improvement since usage is way down and minecraft is much smoother than it was before.

Ehh, for me, it's about having one platform that can do everything I want in a way that I want it. I do a lot of dev work in Linux because it's what I'm used to working in professionally. I only had Windows for games and if Linux has enough of what I want, then I don't really need Windows anymore.

I haven't noticed a penalty worth mentioning in native games. If they use the wine libraries to do their porting, then yeah, it sucks. A few (actually, pretty much all DX games) do this and no, I don't mean running a game in wine (that REALLY sucks). It's actually amazing it works as well as it does considering every graphics call is being translated over from DX to OGL.

Doesn't matter to me because my Titan X is overkill for my 1080p display anyhow. But point is if they actually write it for the MESA/OpenGL stack, it doesn't do bad and is probably comparable to DX11. Unity and unreal based games that do an actual OpenGL export do fine.

Also, a lot of distros aren't the best performers. Ubuntu is bloated in my opinion, but I'm a gentoo hardliner who compiles his own lean kernel, so don't listen to me.

Aquinus · Aug 31, 2016

A little bit of an update. After fighting with Cities: Skylines settings to get it to play nicely with my 3 displays (it was trying to start in 5760x1080 mode and failing ootb,) I manage to get it to start full screen and man, just starting it up is smooth as butter. Performance might start to tank as a city starts getting built but, I don't remember ever having this kind of performance with the fglrx driver.

Edit: I loaded a bigger city and it slowed right down. GPU load was also relatively low though so, it could be a CPU bottleneck in the game.

R-T-B · Aug 31, 2016

Cities Skylines is on my "toplay" list tonight. I wonder how the nvidia-binary drivers will do. I hear they are better than the AMD binaries (and the converse is true in opensource) but we shall see. Also bear in mind that I'm on a very powerful system on a 1080p display.

Mine started at about 50-60% load on the GPU but, as the city gets bigger, GPU usage starts going down and performance starts to drop. I don't think it's a graphics limitation with that game because I had the same experience with fglrx on 14.04.

Either way, I've been very surprised at the performance I've been getting out of the open source radeon drivers (but once again, after I went out of my way to fix the dpm issue.)

johnspack · Aug 14, 2018

Heh, showoff! Yeah, Kubuntu 18.04 was my desktop.

StrayKAT · Aug 14, 2018

Does posting Debian via Windows App count?

johnspack · Aug 14, 2018

If you run actual linux as your desktop it counts. If you have something funky in a vm under windows, sure, let us see. I ran linux in a vm for quite awhile before I went native.
But it has to be an actual desktop you are running.

Not a VM.. just the official Debian app (also Kali and Ubuntu and SUSE available now). It uses Microsoft's "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (kind of a kernel layer, while the app bit is built of userland tools).

Screenshot is a joke.. I just have basic *nix console tools installed.

johnspack · Aug 14, 2018

I use wine for windows stuff... but if you can show your console, I guess that counts! Sounds like you are using a server version without x-server and no capture utils. No wait... it's an app?
No, install the full linux os first if you want a desktop, server version if you want console only. Huh?
