Glorious Eggroll is the guy that makes things work. You don't need to know anything else brother.
Exactly, GE is the saint
@@Clanps I couldn't play Tempest 4000 without GE 29 (not sure why the newer ones don't work) sadly no music but the sound effect work.
@@bland9876 yeah sometimes you need to use older versions for certain games. Reason being is that Glorious Egg roll adds patches per game to his proton ge to fix games. He does what valve does but faster.
Are you self promoting
@@hamm3068 No?
the unprofessionalism and pure fun makes these videos really enjoyable to watch!
8 dollar laptop can do more gaming than 4000 dollar macbook
💀
Ohhhhh how wrong can you be :)
@@grabedigger I can't even run Minecraft with severe frame drops and lag on my mac.
@@ashishhembrom3905 how so? I have the M2 Max 38c GPU Mac Studio and I can play all kind of games with no real issues. Even X-Plane 12 runs better than on my old Ryzen 5600X + 3060 machine.
All kind (all the ones that run on MacOS)
Advice for next time: don't blur the steam login qr code, replace it with a rickroll instead
Here's a like, GO ALGORITHM!!!
Go go go
Worked
Yep, this was recommended to me
Ikr
Goooooo algorythm
I remember when I had a laptop with a 520 GPU and my gosh do I not miss it at all. damn thing gave me like 20 FPS in Superhot. I remember when I got my new laptop with a Ryzen 9 4900HS and a 2060 and just seeing how much smoother everything felt, The catharsis was real xD
I can't even get any decent performance out of Metal Gear Solid V with this iGPU!
The strange thing is that I have got a i5 4th gen microsoft surface pro 2 and it gets 30 fps in Skyrim, that is much better than this one with 6th gen in the video(in some zones it's even 60 fps, ofc minimal settings with 720p)
I had 510 lmao, it was garbage
my switch from a first gen surface book to an actual gaming laptop was euphoric
@@regulargamedev3295 You probably have a dedicated gpu
My old laptop has an intel i5 6198du (HD graphics 510 iGPU) but also rocks a dedicated 920MX (whopping 2 GB DDR3 vram boiiii)
Man, this video had me rolling with laughter in the beginning, but the biggest take was your resourcefulness. Awesome video, and definitely checking out more now!
Love your style of unorthodox videos! Some of the most original and entertaining tech content I have seen in a while. You have a bright career ahead of you!
Get steamOS on a Nintendo switch next
Heads up: the Arch Linux wiki has good information on pretty much everything hardware-related, and it's almost all broadly applicable.
honestly surprised it didnt just work, ive run arch on some pretty old laptops with full opengl support working fine out of the box, usually just installing mesa would have probably been enough to get it going.
Does it discuss installing software in desktop mode?
@@zeroturn7091 There's no concept of "game mode" in Arch, so... Yes? Sort of. The Deck has a weird (and clever) immutable filesystem thing going on, but that doesn't apply to HoloISO.
@@valshaped I’ve been trying to install Adrenalin and FileZilla among some other programs, but just can’t seem to nail it. I’m new to this and originally I thought there would be a software center or I could use the same terminal commands from Ubuntu.
@@zeroturn7091 Discover will allow you to install "Flatpaks" (sandboxed applications with their own operating environment.) If you want to install your own packages, you can use `pacman`, the Arch Linux package manager. On the Deck, you'll need to run `steamos-devmode enable` in a terminal, to reinstall the developer dependencies Valve strips out of a SteamOS jupiter image.
I recently got a Lenovo ThinkPad T530 from a flea market for $25 with an ACTUAL dedicated Nvidia NVS 5400M GPU in combination with Intel HD graphics in it with a core i7-3520M CPU. Fortunately for me the guy selling these had a power supply too. And its a decent system for gaming on the go. Most games I can play at like 720p graphics quality at either high or medium settings. It runs windows 10 surprisingly well. I would say that I got a good find myself.
Wanna sell it?
@@davidgregory2434 as much as I would like to, but it's valuable to me. So appreciate the offer
4:14 Seems this notebook has a dedicated gpu too. Look at the right chip under the heatpipe. I think there is vram chips around the chip. If you have only a cpu in a laptop these days, you have only one chip cooled like this via the heatpipe.
My T530 is still my daily driver... I'm typing this response with it right now! Great PC.
Your videos remind me of all the impulse buys I have bought on ebay and have had such an adventure fixing and upgrading them that the build was more interesting than using the finished product. I have so many pc's, laptops and workstations/servers that the back bedroom no longer accomodates a bed. Loving these videos. Thankyou
Don't know how I found you but your editing is good, your funnies are right on point, that greenscreen facecam is actually quite unique and generally very interesting videos!
I jumped in to your channel a few videos ago with the insane, ridiculous "steam deck *insert archaic tech here* version." Great stuff. Entertaining and informative.
Some of these CPUs seem like they're powerful enough that if you could get a full 16x graphics card to run with it then you could have a good time.
Imagine somebody making a custom motherboard that you can put one of these chips on there to salvage from a dead laptop. It would take way too much effort and not be worth it at all but it would be cool to see.
well, u can place a wifi port to gpu port in your laptop if ur crazy enoth
There are modern laptop CPUs on ATX mainboards of Aliexpress, kinda wish if they offered in ITX mainboards though.
Yeah I wish I could take my laptop's APU and easily slot it into my DT motherboard but that's a small dream that'll remain a dream
@@jierenzheng7670 right? as someone rocking an ITX system, it seems crazy that they don't put those low wattage, highly efficient laptop chips into smaller boards, it would be a match made in heaven!
@@danandrei96 For me, I always wanna build an ITX system ever since the tiny Thinkcentre M93P which I can fit something like an Intel i7-4750HQ or i7-5850HQ for a tiny emulation PC, those Aliexpress boards can do even more!
I’ve been waiting a hot minute for this video! Thanks 🙏
I love this format!! Great job!
Someone might have already mentioned this but the stuttering is from the shaders caching. As you said it smooths out a little over time but when going back into the game it'll be smooth as. Great content though, fun to watch.
This is the first time I’ve been genuinely impressed by a sponsor, I didn’t know this existed
this video just motivated me to fix a bunch of old electronics i had sitting around. ty.
love this video format it feels more engaging ngl, keep up the good work bringus
how did I not know this channel existed! I freaking love this kinda content! Your channel is way too underrated
So glad CZcams recommended me this video! I have been trying to find my new channel to binge and I have finally found it!
Just discovered your channel. Some top quality editing!
Man I have that IDENTICAL laptop sitting over in my drawer :D got it in the Microsoft Store in Toronto back in 2015. The ELAN trackpad always drove me nuts but was the first laptop I had with a touch screen and USB3, did me well. Dual Core "i7" was a bit of a let down though, so was the single channel 8GB of RAM but otherwise a decent laptop.
I have the exact same CPU on my laptop, and I've been pondering the idea of turning it into a steam deck lately, so thank you for quenching my curiosity, I'll stick to Minecraft and GTA San Andreas for now
Ah good ole Value Village, colloquially known as Savers in my neck of the woods. Worked at one years ago and gave myself nice discounts on electronics, since I was the guy pricing electronics and furniture. I'd also regularly massively drop the prices on everything just to get stuff off shelves.
“iPhone disconnected” nearly killed me, it was so unexpected yet fit the vibe so well
dude your vids are so fun love the channel and keep it up
I was expecting to comment on a sponsor bit for a video, but here it is.
I watch videos with PCBWAY sponsorships for many years now.
Not on purpose, it just happens.
After all the 100s? of videos with them as sponsors, I had to come to this video (first time on this channel btw) to watch their "bit" to find out that the "shared projects" part, but also that they assemble them for you too.
Why no one else mentions this?
Well done to this channel for actually having useful information about the sponsor.
I have an ancient (early windows 8) tablet pc with an atom or celeron inside. After getting more experience with Steam OS/Linux, I’m REALLY tempted to try it.
Edit: dug it out, the battery was swollen. RIP
Really entertaining and informative video. But I wish you had explained a bit the process with the operating system and what exactly that didn't work and what you had to do fix it or get around it.
Subbed after this video. Can’t believe I didn’t find you sooner
Man, a sequel to the Steam Deck video? I can't wait for the trilogy
who gon tell him..?
good find btw! best I've gotten from 'ol Value Village is a ryzen stock cooler and a bunch of power supply cables
Fun videos are ALWAYS made more fun with kittah catz. More kittah catz pleeze! Love your channel.
Man I was in shock. I'm using a Lenovo flex4 1470 right now and have been since maybe earlier than Jan 2017; real trouper, taken a consistent unending torture the whole time, including now, and have only had 2 problems, keyboard related and low RAM which I upgraded; 4 to 16gb. I really thought that was what you had got for 7.99; was willing to buy it right off you. These are great, idk about the other gens
I hear dk theme instant like and sun this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and it’s great keep up the solid work man
Love your videos man!
HoloISO didn't seem to work for me on one of my laptops, so this can't be a you problem lol
the sag ways to your sponsors always gets me... very impressed
Dude, amazing video! So good actually that I disabled my adblocker and watched your ad :)
Just found your channel - bingeing 😂
FINALLY!!! A W I GUESS!!!!! Great video man, I was worried it wouldn’t work again but yoooo steam bug picture mode doing wonders.
There is a dGPU in this thing since there are 2 coldplate thingies below the heatpipe (one for the CPU, another for the GPU)
Quick search reveals it's some kind of Nvidia, which would be why HoloISO didn't work
I really don't think it does but I could be wrong. I will probably take the cooler off and check at some point to be sure. Wouldn't the system specs page in Mint show the dGPU instead of the Intel HD Graphics iGPU though?
@@BringusStudios It might show both, I'm not sure. Also, some (not sure if all) Lenovo laptops allow the dGPU to be disabled in BIOS, so check for that.
@@ozzelot3349just pulled the cooler to check, you're absolutely right. There's a Nvidia chip in there. I'm really confused as to why Mint didn't register it. I'm going to install Windows and check to see if it shows up there, and if so I'm gonna see if the performance is any different. For all I know, even though Mint didn't show the GPU, it may have still been utilizing it and the performance was accurate. We shall see
@@BringusStudios From the HoloISO github:
"I have an NVIDIA G-
No. Not even questionable. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, You're on your own. Latest Valve updates for Steam client including normal and Jupiter bootstraps have broken gamepadui on NVIDIA GPUs, and if so, no support will be provided for you."
Nvidia support for Linux and vice versa is pretty dog, there might be a few workarounds, but generally if you're looking to use that dGPU you'd either be better off with a different OS with kernel support for Nvidia (Something like Pop OS or possibly ChimeraOS) or Windows.
Some of the stutters you are experiencing might be the shaders compiling, since those are old games its fair to assume theres no pre compiled shaders from steam, try waiting a little bit for them to compile and maybe they will go away, or if you want to go on a adventure install a version of proton with async shader compilation, but its complicated based in our linux experience i think
What a slap at the switch at the end
This is the first time I've actually been interested in a sponsor. This is neat
man, value village (savers in my area) really is killer for finding hidden gems of cheap electronics. i once picked up a 1TB external drive, even though it turned out to be an abysmal WD Green, for $3.99 from there
beautiful content, as always
An i7 processor for 8.00$ is an absolute steal
Wait what? Where has this channel been? How am I just finding this? Good stuff man.
If you decide to come back to this, Id like to see how it holds up under cloud gaming through xbox and such, Great video!
Honestly watching this was a lot of fun
You seem to understand electronics well. Maybe you can look into switch mode power supplies, you can change their output. You could have converted that 19v to what your laptop required without losing voltage.
3:48 Blinking indicator on Lenovo means that the battery is in the process of charging. When it starts blinking rarely, it means that the battery is almost charged, and when it stops blinking and just burns, the battery is charged
The only reason that holoiso didnt work is because you didnt copy it to the ram
Great video man can't beat a Deluxe cheeseburger combo price
i love how you could tell hes played skyrim recently until you see it in his recent games
thats a pretty sweet deal. My use case would definitely be emulation and at 8 bucks, pretty stellar.
I shit you not, last year my Lenovo laptop fried itself while I was in class, and I had to remove the hard drive. I have no idea what became of that laptop (probably under my bed somewhere) so seeing this was a trip. It was a Flex 4, but the idea that my laptop somehow wound up in a value village humors me deeply
Hey funny ds guy is back, i was getting worry with that last outro buddy
2:02 one might say that drive is in quite the solid state.
(͡o‿O͡)
This was insane! Subbed
You did good installing Glorious Eggroll Proton. It's just that you would be better served by a package manager to grab different versions of it as needed.
Never thought Baby Park theme tune would work so well as background music, well played!
Good content dawg
this video was so chaotic but in a genuine way i cant believe youre under 50k subs
I don't think Holo iso works on anything that isn't AMD based. (I think there very limited In intel support). The steam Deck uses an AMD cpu and GPU that was speced out by Valve. Other versions of steam OS try to add comparability for other hardware, but it's hit or miss.
When you glued the SSD I choked on my coffee lmao. Funny and entertaining content
The background is great, because you do look like you'd live in The Elder Scrolls franchise
i trust this guy to make my pc work again after catching up on fire, falling of a cliff and being ran over by a semi
Love the content! and the cat!
Thank you for the fun way you 'Bringus' content lol "Bring us" - just incase 🔥
Arch Linux is awesome.
You can also get a driver manager that allows you to download the latest official GPU driver or the top 3rd party drivers.
Companies tend to only release 1 or 2 Linux drivers just to make it compatible but they never update them after that.
GloriousEggroll is the developer of Proton-GE, and even has his own Linux gaming Distro based on Fedora, called Nobara Project
By the way to remove hot glue from non porous surfaces just drizzle some IPA on it and it will weaken the bonds. Learned that from Voultar here on the tube.
nice save my man
Finally! a use for all these damn Steam Start up Movies!
i watched the entire video before realizing you had only 68k subscribers.. quite underrated if you ask me
most sane and clean discord moderator
The Geico caveman is now doing OS installs on a goodwill laptop. Absolutely love it and glad to see you succeed in 2024 after they stopped airing your commercials.
At 4:17 when you are pointing on the RAM, you could see that heatsink covers two cips one on the left is a CPU and on the right is a dedicated GPU, you can even see VRAM arround it.
LAN port needs bottom case to work properly
That was a wild ride
God you are such a good tech youtuber
Hey there! you could try chimeraOS to see if that suits you better! nice video!
thank you for your service
you are a very funny person keep it up!
walmart has a charger pack in the electronics section that would make your life a whole lot easier in future videos because you can change the charger tips.
Good vid, seeing doom 2016 stuck at 15 fps remembered me of my old pc where i played half life 2 episode 2 stuck at that same fps with some drops. I finished it by the way, played the entire thing at 15 fps.
i became a sub the moment you stick that ssd up.
We have VALUE VILLAGE here in CANADA, at least here in B.C. use to go there a lot back in the day.
Entertaining video, but curious if you ran some sort of HWinfo type program to see if that model does indeed have a dedicated GPU? Only asking because I noticed the heatsink seems to be covering two chips which is unusual for a laptop without a dedicated GPU.
Love your taste in music
This guy repusents my mind and how I do things!
Damn you got a new sub
12:56
I used to play Skyrim at a inconsistent 8FPS and I was happy. Skrim is Skrim
11:14 for some reason this cracked me up for 10 minutes straight 💀💀
I actually have a Flex 3 1580, the 15 inch version of your laptop. It has a GeForce 940M, and your laptop probably has a 940M too. A SteamOS based distro can't use the Nvidia card.
I really don't think it does but I could be wrong. I will probably take the cooler off and check at some point to be sure. Wouldn't the system specs page in Mint show the dGPU instead of the Intel HD Graphics iGPU though?
@@BringusStudios maybe linux mint didn't install the drivers or even detect the GPU? I remember the laptop nvidia GPUs were a nightmare for linux so try installing windows 10 and have it automatically install the drivers.
6:50 Many bench power supplies will allow you to parallel their outputs to increase amperage output.
I liked the cat saying bruh
