    There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

    I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Borking an entire install by pressing buttons on a monotor is pretty difficult. What exactly were you doing? Did you ask your OS' community for support?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    All I did was on first install go to display settings and change to 144hz in the OS and screen then goes black and never came back. Force a shutdown and boots back to a black screen after login.

    I was eventually able to change things back to 60hz and working through booting to cli but 144 never wanted to work (am admittedly using Nvidia card).

    So not completely borked but not ideal at all.

    Ah yeah nvidia can be painful, especially if you want wayland. But this seems to be a simple modesetting issue, I'm sure there are some known workarounds. You can also report driver bugs directly to nvidia, but I don't know if that will do much.

    Yeah, sounds like a PEBKAC problem to me. 😁

    Well even if the user doesn't really know what they're doing, things shouldn't easily break, that's just bad.

    I'm not convinced this is a valid statement:

    If only Linux wouldn’t Bork my whole install when I try to switch to 144hz on my monitor.

    If he says his install is borked I believe him. If he says it's "just" because he tried to switch to 144hz on his monitor, eh...

    Edit: Also sounds like nvidia binary blob driver. Odd to me that he didn't get the "do you want to keep these settings" prompt, and that it didn't revert when he didn't click yes though.

    Setting any of my monitors to 4k or 144hz just resulted in a completely black screen that persisted through reboots. Only solution I found was to plug into a completely separate, lower resolution monitor.

    No clue what caused it, but it’s not isolated to just op

    Out of curiosity, nvidia blob driver also? (I, too, run the blob driver, but I'm just curious if it's a common denominator)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    I think so. It’s been a while since I set it up.

    Since I can’t remember setting up the proprietary ones, I’d assume it’s the blob
