For gamemode: you don't have to replace mangohud with it in the steam launch options to run it, you can just type it after and run both at the same time. This gives you the benefit that mangohud can show you if gamemode is activated
Yup just do: MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% In steam properties and your good to go. Also there is a Gnome Shell Extension that shows a green controller in your topbar when it is activated.
@@BrodieRobertson I get the hustle, but just put the tool tips there. It's better for your SEO and viewers. People will be able to skip to the part they want instead of you using dark patterns to force them to watch the whole thing.
Tool you should have mentioned: Piper. Piper allows you to configure gaming mice like my logitech hero. You can install macros and adjust the sensitivity settings and assign functions or macros to extra mouse buttons, and also manages LED colors on the mouse. Absolutely essential for using gaming mice in linux.
I use gamescope to be able to use the steam overlay (needed for steam controller support) in dead cells. Gamescope also lets steam input control a visible mouse cursor when in wayland if the game doesn’t have its own rendered cursor. It also has some other features, such as having a smaller virtual resolution and upscaling it with nearest neighbor or FSR 1.0.
Heroic launcher is a really light weight launcher for epic games launcher (which is windows only) u can choose which version of wine/proton u wanna use nd etc and manages all the prefixes nd etc by itself.... helped me play rocket league online
Heroic is cross platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) and allows you to play your Epic Games and GOG games. Also unlike Lutris at the moment it has a stable build that supports flatpak and can be easily installed on Steamdeck.
Wine... I've said this tons of times already, but I was a community hype man for a certain game we finally managed to get running in 2008, six years after the game's release. Last I checked, the game was rated gold. It's mostly because the community behind the game has VERY high standards and expectations that it's not Platinum, though some have rated it Platinum in the past...
Thank you for mangohud! I couldn’t remember the name of this project. Also thank you for the wayland tip. I just realized fedora does it by default and I think going back to Xorg got rid of my stuttering on MCC!
As far as Arch based gaming, I really like what Garuda Linux KDE gaming eddition does. Gamebuntu is broken and I think the kid making it was made to abandon it by his mum to focus on school which is fair enough. I learned how to make a gaming Kubuntu setup from looking at the source and seeing what it is ment to pull. Garuda also has a lot of tools that would make a lot of Ubuntu users comfortable built in, btrfs snapshots enabled by default on every upgrade is handy for when Arch breaks.

I'll have to try installing DS9 this way. As it was through WINE it required a weird workaround to run it each time I went to play it where I'd have to mount the disc image and run the setup tool from that with WINE then start it from there as it recognized it was already installed. On the plus side, ripping old game discs with Linux is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@phoenixrising4995 Yeah, and Unreal worked for me with zero effort. It runs better than back when I ran it on Win98. Although, to be fair, the computer I'm using now has 10 times the processor speed, 12 times the cores and 48 times the RAM.

Hello linux users! Is there any way to keep my rtx 2070 super on performance lvel 0 or 1 when im browsing the internet? Im loving the ubuntu so much but my PC turns into a flying jet whenever i launch web browser or watch some video on YT/twitch stream. It never been so loud when i was using windows and playing games on it. I would love too go full linux (now i dual boot) with this problem fixed but i really cant do much with such a noise. :(
Just turn off GPU acceleration in the browser settings. Otherwise you may be able to set an application profile for your browser including a fan curve in the NVIDIA settings application.

Qemu would be better for that. Virtualbox is for people like DistroTube to show first looks and nothing pertinent. (A video to show a software list and theme).
@@SkyFly19853 ik. It's just that VirtualBox isn't the best for gaming and such you know. It comes in handy for basic tasks such as distro-testing or just to isolate OS's. It's better to know how to do GPU passthrough in Qemu.

There are so many launchers out there I could spend an entire video just discussing those

Thank you for this great video Brodie!! I would also like to know what reliable tool exists to undervolt/underclock your gpu.
Poor water on the gpu while it runs, no need computer sorry for bad english
@@alexkaasik7349 lol yeah... I have been tempted to use this awesome fix for a while
auto-cpufreq is good for laptops to save battery but I don't know what your usecase is
Corectrl is what i see people using
I just use steam for everything, add everything as a non-steam game so I can use proton easily on them :p Works 90% of the time :p

Video card "bricking" usually only happens with a VBIOS mod that has gone very wrong.

Garuda is really great! My wife has been daily driving it for about 18 months now and it has been fantastic
Corectrl can overclock things. I think you should give a warning about using overlays in online mp/anti cheat.
Hi Brodie ! Would you recommend running gamemode on a Zen kernel? Or would the two conflicts somehow?
gonna check out bottles, thanks!
Nice video! I have been gaming on Linux Kubuntu (20.04 LTS) for a couple years and I'm never going back to Windows.
Actually, There's another tool that is pretty important
the "LibreGaming" scipt
well now it has a GUI (not available for Arch)
brodiemojo coming soon
IMO, the most important thing you can do it's patch your kernel with fsync,futex2 and winesync
Every modern kernel has futex2 OOTB, though.

are there any advantages between Gamemode and the Xanmod kernel? Just out of curiosity.

@@BrodieRobertson thanks for the laugh, yeah, I hope not.
Yes but how do you turn Mangohud Off?
You turn enable off
you can set it to be hidden by default and just toggle it whenever
There's only 1 thing you need: wine-staging.
I just use Steam for anything. There is no comparison to just click&play.

Qemu would be better for that. Virtualbox is for people like DistroTube to show first looks and nothing pertinent. (A video to show a software list and theme).
