Failing At Linux Gaming And Getting Angry
Переглядів 1,2 тис.10 місяців тому
My journey of failing at Linux gaming, when all I was trying to do was get better performance in a game. I was just trying to get a game to stay locked at 120FPS and had multiple failed Linux OS installations. I tried Nobora, Fedora, and Pop OS. I reverted back to Linux Mint and that almost didn't work. Seems like the best way to play this game it by hooking it up to my Plasma TV.

I share my experience daily driving this Linux OS on my PC that I only use for music, editing videos, and the Internet. It's really good for gaming but I think I like Pop OS better. I will be keeping it on my gaming PC though.
Nobara Linux The Ultimate Gaming Distro
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
Since I started using Nobara I noticed increased compatibility with games and I'm able to get higher frame rates. I noticed improvements over this OS even when compared to Windows 10. Everything is installed that you need to play games. It even supports VRR which blew me away. Really great for someone who doesn't know a lot about Linux.

How I Built My Video Game and DVD Video Shelves

I go through a little tutorial about how I built my video game and DVD shelves. I love watching DVD's on my HD CRT TV so I needed to figure out a way I could fit them all in my man cave. I don't think there will be many more video games to fill that shelf but I will continue to collect DVD's.
Garuda Linux - Steam Running On A USB Stick?!
Переглядів 553Рік тому
I didn't know running Steam off of a USB stick was a thing. Apparently you can do it in Garuda Linux. I actually ended up installing it on the laptop hard drive after, as I want to try it out. I found this OS to be way faster than Linux Mint. Here is the website to download Garuda Linux. garudalinux.org/downloads.html
Failed Linux Endeavour OS - Newbie Laptop Install

A video of me failing at trying to install Endeavour OS. I couldn't even get it into the boot loader, so it must not like this laptop. I tried two different versions of Endeavor OS and both gave me the same results. Maybe it was the program I used to install it to the USB stick, maybe it was laptop. I'm really not sure.

Linux Mint Newbie - Laptop Install
Переглядів 692Рік тому
I attempt to install Linux mint and see if I can get Steam running on it. The goal is to see how easy it is to get a game running on Linux if you don't know a lot about Linux. In the end I found Manjaro was a way faster process than Linux Mint. I also noticed Linux Mint really wanted me to update, but I'm sure you could turn that off. It's not a terrible experience, but I liked Manjaro or POP O...

I really don't have a lot of experience with Linux. So in this video I try to install Manjaro on an old laptop and see if I can get a game running on it. I install Wine and after install Steam as that's probably what most people use. I may try installing Linux Mint on this laptop next to see if I can run a game on that.

    Plasmas are great for consoles with component and HDMI also for watching movies in DVD or Bluray. I own a Sony 32 plasma it cost me only $10 and works/ looks great...drawbacks are high energy consumption, only 720p and heavy compared to LCDs

    I have my Panasonic 46" Viera hooked up in my upstairs bedroom. Still enjoy watching Blu-rays on it. I think you can overcome motion blur to a point with the right settings, but plasmas just look more natural to me. It just sucks it uses so much power compared to the newer TVs.

    Meanwhile I have a 27" 144 Hz LCD and a 17" CRT whose highest comfortable resolution is 1280x960 at 72 Hz. I usually opt for lower at a minimum of 75 HZ for that incredible motion clarity. My favorite compromise is 1280x800 at 85 Hz. It's 16:10 but I don't always need 4:3.

    The reason you don't see the flicker on the HD CRT over the standard def ones is all to do with the refresh rate, the standard def one will be 60 hz will the HD crt will likley be running at around 100hz. 60hz on a pc CRT is very noticible and easliy changable in the display options of your computer as unlike the TV they don't have a fixed refresh rate, or one thats only varible between 50-60hz in the case of Pal. In my finding once the refresh rate is above 70hz it's unoticble.

  • @terrytees
    @terrytees 2 місяці тому

    Only Americans got a decent amount of HD CRT's, in Europe there super and almost none were made. On the other hand if you use a BVM that can do resolutions like 480p and 720p there don't do that colour bleed, or at lesat I have never noticed it, and that goes for CRT computer monitors that run up to 2k. I have never used a HD crt. The fact that you are using a consumer TV to read text and complining about it is not a valid argument, It's a TV, the dot pitch will be way to poor to read text, and please remmember JRPG's are made with logographic kanji, ideograms (or characters), in mind and not a western alphabet. Again you want a computer monitor for this as they are design for reading text, you all the PC crt's were built for that sole reason.

I've read a lot that 16:9 games from PlayStation 2, GameCube, Wii or Xbox Classic are better played on HD CRT or plasma. I don't know what to think about it? Should I buy HD CRT Panasonic TX-32PS12P or plasma Panasonic Viera TX-P42X10E?

    Some HD CRT's (Sony) could support a 720P signal. Other TV brands will vary and most of them will only supporty 480P and 1080i. Using a external scaler like a Portta HDMI to component could help get a 1080i picture since the Nintendo Switch does not output in 1080i. The PS4/5 does tho :D

    Gaming on linux is so goood, oh my goood, i cant believe iiiiit oooooo maaaah gaaawd. Talks 8minutes of nonsense, then launches a 2D game. Don't get me wrong, I'm using linux, but I dont lie to people, gaming is not that good as it is on windows, obviously. Period. It never will be. I'm using endeavouros which is an archlinux based distro, and arch/arch based are known for their versatility and gaming capabilities. I'm on bleeding edge with kernel and nvidia prop driver. I'm tearing blood every fucking day, because how bad experience I'm having with my nvidia card with linux. Also, don't believe the urban legend out there, AMD's Radeon is just as garbage as nvidia on linux. It's just "better" at out of the box experience, but OC'ing is another story (fan rpm for example is a nightmare to set up properly, just to list the simplest thing here). So yea. Wayland + nvidia = flickers the shit out of you. X11 + nvidia: its more stable, but you don't get that smooth experience. Its no where near complete, no where near compatible. Yes - steam proton and lutris. NO! It's an utter garbage, you gotta tweak every single shit to make it possible to launch. You need a programmer centric brain, or else you're fucked. If you use games out of the box, you're not utilizing your GPU/CPU enough, and you wasted $$$ for no reason. Period. That is where linux is right now.

    • @Anonymous-zo6so
      @Anonymous-zo6so 3 місяці тому

      Flickering is a problem of newer Nvidia drivers, as far as I know 535 version of Nvidia drivers works fine on Wayland. Also I don't know what do you mean about "tweaking" because all popular games are compatible with linux. Some no name games or online that's the problem, but it's the company's fault, not Linux's.

  • @michaeldietz2648

    One thing you forgot to mention about DVD versus streaming is that DVD sound better because the sound is uncompressed. As for Blu-ray a standard 1080 P Blu-ray will look and sound better than anything streamed. Even though streaming claims to display the image in 4K it’s not and sound is severely compressed while streaming. Also I’m on another sidenote about playing standard DVDs if you get a good 4K Blu-ray player with upscaling it’s going to do a lot for the image quality well watching on HD TV.

    Hey, did you ever figure out how to display switch on a 480p widescreen crt? Picking up a Panasonic tau this weekend. A ps5 outputs 1080i so I guess I could do all my indie/ pixel art games on there from now on. Was really hopeful for the switch to work though. Mainly bought for the Wii/ps3/360 era stuff so will still have plenty to keep me busy

      I'm sorry but my opinion is that Samsung makes overpriced displays. They're not bad, but you're paying more for the name compared with stuff like TCL. Sony and LG are really kind of the hill when it comes to OLEDs. Panasonic made good electronics back in the day but they pulled out of the US market for TVs sadly. All the best stuff used to be made in Japan but seems they're going the same way as the US and offshoring everything.

    Pirating to hard drives on a media server is the best of both worlds. I have over 6,500 movies and over 1,600 TV series on my media server. I don't need to devote a room to my collection, deal with dusting, organizing, inventorying have the risk of damage from flood, fire, etc. or god forbid if I move, having to move my collection. I don't have to deal with buffering, throttling, content being removed or altered to appease some offended person. If I am sitting comfy in my bed, I can switch between any movie, TV series, music, any games on emulators, UA-cam, etc. without getting out of my bed. I backup my entire media server onto 10 5TB 2.5" portable drives that literally fit in the palm of my hands. I started out with DVD rips, then as time permitted, starting with my favs, downloaded and replaced with 1080p. Now I am once again, starting with my favs, replacing my 1080p copies with 4K. There is no downside, at least from where I am sitting, with this method.
