It's kind of funny that the Steam big picture mode is right next to the minimize button.
That's where the 30% share goes - to the most convenient and feature-rich game-platform
thanks for the explanations and very important: to give some promotion and love to the good old lan cable.
I had to convince my parents that when the landlord renovated the whole place, that they need to get LAN (cat-7 because why not). the house is over 400 years old and back then, people did not consider building walls in a way that it is friendly to wlan.
a really good investment (and it cost them nothing). at least at the same level as getting rid of the lead waste water pipes.
for running steam games via proton on an ntfs formatted partition the compatdata folder within the SteamLibrary/steamapps dir in the ntfs filesystm must be symlinked to a non-ntfs drive.
I actually already have my steam library on an ntfs drive shared between both systems, however, every time I switch between windows and linux and open Steam, it wants to update every single game that's installed. I think steam is going back and forth installing some OS specific files for one system while also removing the ones that are needed for the other system. Pretty annoying. Has anyone found a solution?
This happened to me because some games have a native Linux version, so when you're using linux, it deletes the Windows .exe and downloads the Linux exectuable, but then when you switch back to Windows, it re-downloads the .exe and deletes the Linux executable
To solve this, I made two folders: SteamLinux, where I keep native Linux games, and Steam, where I keep Windows (and Proton compatible) games
Steam on Linux is configured to see both folders, so on Linux I have access to all my games
Steam on Windows, on the other hand, can only see the Steam folder and cannot see the SteamLinux folder, to prevent it from messing with my Linux native games
@@pazzoeo Alternatively (if you don't want to use the native linux clients ofc) you could force Proton as compatibility layer on those games and in theory it should download the .exe instead of the native linux files.
Great video but i'm not sure ntfs is a good fit for Proton. People reported issues when games were launched from an ntfs partition. Just be aware that it may cause issues.
I played off an NTFS drive for 3 months straight, without having any many issues. It used to be worse, when Steam still verified the whole library before actually allowing you to play games.
I've had a lot of troubles with launching more recent games from my NTFS drive on Arch and Fedora. I finally formatted it to ext4.
Most of these recommendations are nice. But I have had nothing but problems with running games off an NTFS formated drive while in Linux.
And there's a good reason for that. Linux NTFS support is NOT ment for running anything off it. It's only so you can access your files, and move them. Or to access documents or images.
Not for running games or programs directly from the NTFS.
I haven't tested it, but there gotta be a pretty signficant performance hit since you're not using a native linux filesystem.
Tried making a secondary game drive to Ntfs but Linux refused to work properly with it, then i tried Fatx,same thing, it could always read but never write. I did do permissions and they all Seamed to report properly when i checked on terminal, then i looked into it and learned that both NTFS and Fatx dont so actualy use permissions like what the ext format do and you are 'emulating' that function. I gave up after reading 20 articles on how to fix it but never was able. At this point i gave up and just wait for when the next big thing happens on Linux to get me interested enough to retry, but i have to say i hate Windows updates with a passion. Every major update they some how break the bootloader and i have to go into a live CD to re install grub, if i were to do it now, i install Windows and Linux on seperate drives without grub and choose OS by boot options, but most Linux installs do grub by default and there is no option to skip it when you choose to dual boot, i think only manjaro install had it as an option but i could be wrong.
0:31 "a game launcher, which hosts ALL of your favourite games" now now now, let's not get ahead of ourselves...
I though initially this will be about performance, but it's more about features. Well, I guess that the tip about the local share can be put in the performance area :)
Neat tips, though LTT had a very similar video not long ago (including some extra tips). But it's nice to see a bit of a tutorial here too.
I so wish LAN parties will get to be the next fad. At least so the developers enable it again, and make it work without an internet connection (cough Diablo 2 resurrected cough). Those were the days. Also, when you play in LAN with your mates, you don't have to worry about cheaters. And because of that, the games can be free of those rootkits spyware malware that they call anticheats.
Man, I suddenly feel old and cranky. We lost so many cool things.
The video was originally supposed to launch way earlier, but I delayed it because LTT made one. Stuff like that is really annoying, especially when you have to redo the whole thing because it's 70% the same.
@@MichaelNROH Yeah, I can understand that. Pure bad luck, really.
Thanks for the Remote Play settings. Sadly the dual boot library is a hit or miss in my experience. Cheers!
Thanks for the tips. I tried transferring Steam games from Windows to Windows machines and it worked fine. When I tried transferring Steam games between Linux and Windows, I couldn't get it to work. I tried changing the settings to share with 'All' but it wouldn't work from Linux to Windows, or Windows to Linux. I'm confused!
i would recommend partitioning the shared drive to BTFRS and using the Windows BTRFS driver because NTFS isn't that good supported and windows will mess stuff up
Generally I wouldn't due to Windows not always handling other file systems all that well. NTFS is deeply integrated in Windows.
mostly we know but remoate controller setting is help me out :3
Why skip the best outro out there? It is different and a real personal touch.
For some reason, steam does not work for me on linux (native or flatpak). After install it starts fine but after a relaunch or a restart it goes full transparent, I can't interact with it. This happens after the last update.
The latest update is kind of bugged anyway.
For example, CS:GO crashes when you launch the Steam Overlay. Sometimes even before that.
Seems like this update has a bunch of oversights, which makes me wonder if the Steam Deck is experiencing any issues.
Usually it works for me after a few restarts, or just after waiting a while
so about this steam cross play between linux and windows can i do on other platforms as well like heroic or lutris???
You can, however you need to pay attention to the folders.
For example, if a game launches through a Compatibility layer, then it creates a Windows like folder structure (C:\Program Files\...).
On Windows, you need to locate the game in that file structure then. On Linux you can't launch it without the underlying architecture.
@@MichaelNROH ok fam thank you much 4 replying
Great video! Are there any games you would recommend for a potato with UHD 620 graphics?
The Ori games
You should try to daily drive OpenSUSE Leap 15.5.
oh yeah
When will pubg warzone 2 bf2042 and genshin ll be natively supported. 😅 Just wondering.
I'm asking because, windows 11 might become cloud subscription based os.
If that happens peoples will search for substitute.
As soon as they write their Anti-Cheat developer.
Most Anti-Cheats already support Linux, as well as Proton, but they leave the decision to the game developer of publisher
Samsung TV OS does not allow Steam link to be installed... 😢
What model do you have? Samsung TVs should have native support
@@MichaelNROH Frame.
btrfs with the unofficial windows driver works better than ntfs for me.
Hey Mr Michael can you do a Video of Nobara Linux
Maybe 👀
SWOT Analysis style is a good way to approach reviews with
Wait, Fedora can't use hardware acceleration? What is the cause of that, Nouveau? I hope...
Fedora removed the H.264 and H.265 VA-API parts from the MESA driver because they were afraid of law suits. It only affects AMD for now, since both Intel and NVIDIA still offer acceleration (though NVIDIA doesn't always play nice with browsers)
I believe you can still install support from one of the Fedora repo's?
@@notjustforhackers4252 From rpm-fusion yes. It's called mesa-freeworld
What steam needs to do on linux is being able to use external drives without Linux mounting bulshit there's so much business still . But yes thr dream deck UI is console quality 👌 good stuff . Remote play works just not as perfectly as I would like seeing as other ways run smoother on second device when gaming . I really do love handheld these days and it's a wonderful way to play many games by streaming though on phone things still look too small and the latency can become a problem for sure. SteamDeck 7 to 8 inches screen is perfect for me on a handheld .
I mean the mounting process is a Linux default and the wiser choice for security.
Reason being that external drives could contain malware which could auto-start and infect your PC.
You can change that behaviour though if you like
