I don’t have much experience with AMD gpus on Arch.
I was looking at the Arch AMD GPU wiki page and it looks like you might also need to run
pacman -S vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon mesa lib32-mesa xf86-video-amdgpu
But admittedly there’s a lot about AMD GPU drivers I don’t understand. Like how to verify your driver in installed correctly.
You might also want to try out amdgpu_top or radeontop to monitor what the GPU is doing.
Would need a bit more context too help diagnose.
First question is if you’re HDMI or DisplayPort cable is actually plugged into the GPU or if it’s plugged into the monitor.
Now depending on your desktop environment (DE), you should be able to verify what aspect ratio your display is actually set to by going to your display settings. Again this depends on your DE, how to do this in gnome is different than how to do it in kde.
You can also verify if your game is set to output 2160p (4k). Sometimes game settings get reset depending on the game. Also make sure the game is actually using your GPU. Maybe try a linux native game like super tux cart just to help diagnose the issue.
Also how did you verify that you have the latest drivers for your gpu
Signal no longer requires a phone number to sign up for. Also telegram really should not be recommended at all if the focus is on privacy.
Update: I am wrong, signal does require a phone number.
Maybe try simplex as that doesn’t require a phone number.
If someone is complaining about windows, or raising privacy concerns that Linux would solve, or just talking about price options, then I think it’s perfectly fair to mention Linux.
Right now the biggest issue with Linux is that some software is not made for it. With more Linux market share, devs have a higher incentive to build software for Linux. Like imagine if videogame devs didn’t think they needed windows to work, or Mac to run adobe.
I agree…I Linux game in Arch btw.
Ehh, it’s not like Linux is perfect. And if we want more Linux adoption it’s good to have different perspectives and be made aware of things that perhaps we haven’t thought of. It could be useful to vent about Linux through memes if we can have proper discourse and are willing to work collaboratively to solve issues.
I’m talking about not needing anything installed on the server though. Like you don’t need sudo. If the server has ssh then you can use Emacs to edit a file on it
I used to think this way. Until I found that with emacs you can edit any file on an SSH enabled computer remotely. Meaning that not only are you no longer constrained by what the computer has installed. But you can use your personality configured editor while editing that file. It’s called tramp.
BTW, with Emacs you can use vim key bindings evil-mode, so don’t stress about that.

You are right that something that most others will host for free are going to be censored since otherwise they might have some kind of responsibility legally. I learned this while trying to diagnose an issue with my cars door lock.
At the end of the day, anything you ask some hosted llm is being recorded so if you actually want something uncensored or something that gives you a sense of freedom then the only real option is to self host.
Luckily, it’s very simple and can even be done on a low spec device if you pick the right model. The amount and type of ram you have a will dictate how many parameters you can run at a decent speed.
Here’s 3 options with increasing difficulty (not much however) written for Arch Linux: https://infosec.pub/comment/13623228
Interesting, I haven’t had that experience much myself. It might be a bad port to Linux?
I wonder if there is a launch option that you could set that would help? It might also depend on your GPU and drivers. But to your point, it’s much less hassel to just tell steam to use proton and not have those issues.
While I agree that proton on its own doesn’t make gaming on Linux a “first class experience”, it does sometimes perform better than the original native “first class” Windows OS that the game was originally intended to be played on. Which is just funny, but also shows all the work that has gone into proton.
Game devs need more Linux players before they make major industry wide changes, but proton makes those numbers have a chance of increasing by making the games playable on Linux.
Another reason why I wouldn’t call gaming on Linux a “first class experience” yet is controller and input driver issues. Which can be worked around like if I open a game I bought on gog through steam and use the steam input methods but I shouldn’t have to use steam to play a gog game with a controller.

I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.
So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.
If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.
Some websites don’t immediately work on my computer because I use Firefox with noscript. Does that mean I should have a special device from lego so I can reliably view Lego.com?
Just look at the amount of contributors and releases since the fork. Its more than just an archive.
Totally agree. I think another crazy thing is that Nintendo knows how easy it is to emulate their latest games when developers are doing it without source code legally.
Like imagine if nintendo just saved the effort and money they otherwise would spend on R&D, manufacturing, shipping, and promotion, litigation on new consoles every so often and just released an official emulator instead. It would be so much better for the environment to let people use their own hardware and they could just focus mostly on making games.
At minimum, they could do both and have an option to sell games to people that don’t want another device to play media that their current devices already are capable of. And slowly phase out the console.
I use Arch BTW, so I just use ryujinx from the AUR. The upstream git repo was updated to one that is in active development and is working better than ever.
Here are the latest stable releases for all platforms
Both Porco Rosso and sound of music are excellent films for kids of you want to start to talk to them about fascism.
Anyone know of more?
