Is steam deck AMD? That would make a lot of sense.
The Steam Deck has an AMD CPU yes
It’s technically also an AMD GPU but you’re right.
Or as AMD calls it an APU

I have an nvidia GPU and tried popOS and Nobara and I cannot get games to run at all. Keeps crashing or going to a black screen and the game never actually launches. Definitely going to be going team red next round to get off windows finally

I did and same with nobara, tried twice with pop and once with nobara and gave up a few weeks ago. Couldnt get platinum protondb games to run at all or would run at like 14fps on a 3080

Same experience on Manjaro. Usually really low framerates, constant crashes and Wayland’s broken.
Really? I’m having a very dissimilar experience, and am also on Manjaro. Drivers were a peach to install and I get at least as good as performance on windows…to the extent that the dual boot has (over the years) become just a single boot. I’m even running a valve index on it - Alyx runs smooth. Built in 2019.
TBH I’m surprised at a lot of these threads about Nvidia as it’s just been a few times that the drivers didn’t work out on an update and I had a black screen. But I’ve had almost as many breaking issues from non Nvidia related stuff in its lifetime.
What’s your build like? I have an i5 6600k and a GTX 1660. I have two displays one connected to the 1660 and the other to the iGPU, so I might have been accidentally using the latter. Wayland seems to not work even on my other PC with a single GPU (3060 ti) tho.
Hmmm…
Looks like:
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
- on an Asus ROG STRIX B550-I
- 32GB DDR4 @ 2666
- 3070 RTX
Honestly, it’s possible that I just don’t notice low framerate as I’m a product of the Atari/NES gen of console gamers; my standards may be co-opted. I’m just reporting that my experience has been positive. Fair to say though that Wayland is still hit and miss, and still is. I general avoid it and stick to x while using steam, and tinker around with it when X’s idiosyncracies bother me enough. Nvidia in general just hasn’t picked my berries like it seems to have for others. Certainly not enough to ever make me retreat to a windows install 😁
Sorry for the dumb question, but what do you mean by “non-official distro”?

Why are you installing drivers manually? They should be included in the kernel on pretty much every distro.

Unless you want hdmi 2.1 apparently

dp 2.1 to hdmi 2.1 adapter could deliver 4k120 to a tv
Because the HDMI Forum won’t allow AMD to make an open implementation of it.
That’s literally because of steamdeck my guy
I played on Linux with NVidia for a few years. Was overall okay-ish but I definitely had issues. Just switched to a 7600XT and it’s like putting on glasses when I didn’t know I had poor vision. Everything just works, wayland is seamless and smooth in a way X11 just never was, DX12 games run faster than they did on Windows.
Sounds about right, I had nothing but bad experiences with Nvidia on Linux.
My experiences with AMD are far from perfect and I still have some bizarre issues nobody else has , but it was still a pretty big improvement.
Just switched out my nvidia gpu for a amd gpu, soon to be apart of the numbers 🙌
Lots of new Chinese users? Is that due to the trade war? From what I understand they’re trying to get rid of Windows?
