@Tuxramus@social.linux.pizzaMerry Yule, Middle-earth! π
It's officially time for holiday shenanigans in Bree-land. We're diving into the LOTRO Yule Festival quests and snowball fights, all running smoothly on my trusty Bazzite PC.

@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaI tried the Fedora Atomic Cosmic Desktop iso and it was very impressive. Cosmic is the most responsive UI Iβve used that isnβt called Workbench. Sadly, Steam had some issues with controllers and while it seemed solvable, it didnβt seem like a clean solution. Iβm going to miss Cosmic and will definitely check it out again once it is really done because it is super cool. Now, Bazzite is installing away.

@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.deInteresting. In parallel, I set up a Docker container "exactly" as a Distrobox container to get ROCm running on Bazzite. And in the Docker container I get

@cdp1337@social.bitsnbytes.devSo got a new laptop, ("new" as in new for me, still 6 years old but far newer than my other laptop), and opted to try a gaming distro since it has a dedicated GPU.
Tried Bazzite, failed miserably as it installed on a 1TB rotational drive and was horribly slow.
Replaced drive with a solid state and tried again, this time trying to install on it and the NVME which evidently it came with too. Didn't see the drive but a quick update in the bios resolved that. Got it iβ¦

@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.deIt seems like GNOME Shell on Wayland doesn't like it if a GPU gets removed during runtime. At least on Bazzite, it threw me back into Gaming Mode and I had to switch to the desktop again, losing all my open windows.
Well, I expected worse, so I had saved my work before. π
But that does set some limits on what I can do using some scripts I found on GitHub. In case a Mutter or GNOME dev reads this here: Are there any plans to gracefully switch between GPUs during runtime?
