@DiscussingFilm Physical copies that still need the internet to work lmao

Actually I’ve recently tried bazzite on my desktop with a 14900k/rtx 4090 and also tried it on a laptop with a 14700k / 4070 laptop. I’m not a fan of having to search for scripts and work arounds for stuff and it’s a bit frustrating with some games needing to fafo with proton and diff things to get the best results. Also I don’t like having to only be left with the option of dual booting just when I want to play call of duty or the dozens of other games that have zero work around for the anti cheat engine

@Dom_Jurgen @pipkinpippa Lmfao every game that’s been released in the last 10 years all work on windows 11. The hell do you mean ? Name me one game in the last 10 years you can’t install on windows 11.

Preach brother. Everyone who keeps pushing it is just totally unaware how hard jumping to Linux would be for a normie / streamer who just expects things to work. Pippa has zero time to learn commands and scripts nor sit there and research every time something does not work. Linux is nice for people who have a lot of time and patience and love software tinkering.

@blocksnmore @stashyymane @pipkinpippa There’s still caveats with capture cards and even if you can get them to work. there’s certain codecs and modes that might not work right also.

RT @Pirat_Nation: What?

While Linux/steam os is becoming more viable for content creation and streaming, there are still **hardware and software limitations** that might make Twitch /youtube streaming harder compared to Windows. Here are the key challenges: --- ### **1. Capture Cards with Poor or No Linux Support** Many capture cards lack official Linux drivers, which can be a major problem for streamers who need to capture console gameplay. - **Elgato Capture Cards** (HD60 S, HD60 X, 4K60 Pro, etc.) → **No official Linux support**, but some older models (like HD60) may work with third-party drivers. - **AverMedia Capture Cards** → **Limited support**, some work via kernel patches or experimental drivers. - **Razer Ripsaw HD** → **No Linux support** - **EVGA XR1** → **Partially works on Linux** - **Magewell Capture Cards** → **Good Linux support**, but expensive. 🛠️ **Workarounds**: Use a **UVC-compliant** capture card (which works natively in Linux) or run Windows in a secondary PC for capture purposes. --- ### **2. Streaming Software Limitations** Linux has **OBS Studio**, but some features are missing compared to the Windows version. - **No Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS)** → The popular fork of OBS for beginners is Windows-only. - **Fewer OBS plugins** → Some essential Windows plugins (like StreamFX) don’t work or require extra setup. - **NVIDIA NVENC/AMD AMF encoder issues** → Hardware encoding is supported but not always as optimized as on Windows. 🛠️ **Workarounds**: Use regular **OBS Studio**, which has official Linux support. --- ### **3. Webcams with Limited Features** Most webcams work on Linux, but some lose access to features like **auto-focus**, **HDR**, or **60fps support** due to missing drivers. - **Logitech Brio 4K** → Works, but lacks some advanced controls. - **Razer Kiyo** → Works, but LED ring light control is missing. - **Elgato Facecam** → **Not supported on Linux**. 🛠️ **Workarounds**: Use **Webcamoid** or **v4l2-ctl** for better control, or get a DSLR/mirrorless camera with a capture card. --- ### **4. Audio Interfaces & Mixers with Poor Linux Support** Many USB audio interfaces and sound mixers depend on Windows software for advanced settings. - **GoXLR & GoXLR Mini** → **Not supported on Linux**, relies on Windows software for mixing. - **Elgato Wave XLR** → **No Linux support**, requires Wave Link software. - **Rodecaster Pro II** → Works **partially** on Linux, but lacks firmware updates/tools. - **Focusrite Scarlett Series** → **Basic support**, but lacks full software control. 🛠️ **Workarounds**: Use Linux-compatible interfaces like **MOTU M2**, **Behringer UMC22**, or software mixers like **Jack Audio**. --- ### **5. Limited Support for Twitch Extensions & Streaming Tools** Some popular streaming tools are Windows-only or have limited Linux support: - **(WebRTC streaming)** → Works but can have stability issues. - **Touch Portal & Stream Deck software** → **No official Linux support**, but third-party alternatives exist (e.g., `streamdeck-ui`). - **NVIDIA Broadcast (AI Noise Removal, Background Blur)** → **Windows-only**, but **NoiseTorch** or **RVC models** can be alternatives. 🛠️ **Workarounds**: Use **third-party Linux tools**, like **StreamFX**, **NoiseTorch**, or **PipeWire** for audio processing. --- ### **6. Lack of Adobe Creative Cloud for Editing & Design** Streamers often need software like: - **Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects** (for video editing) - **Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator** (for overlays/thumbnails) 🛠️ **Workarounds**: Use **DaVinci Resolve**, **GIMP**, or **Krita**, but they might not fully replace Adobe's suite. --- ### **Final Verdict: Can You Stream on Linux/steam os?** ✅ **YES, if** you use **OBS Studio**, have a **UVC capture card**, and don’t need **GoXLR or Adobe software**. ❌ **NO, if** you rely on **Elgato hardware, NVIDIA Broadcast, or GoXLR*

Seriously I’m going to bed. Ugh. Gn

While Linux gaming has improved significantly thanks to Proton (Steam Play) and tools like Lutris and Wine, some popular games still don't work well (or at all) on Linux due to anti-cheat systems, DRM, or lack of native support. Here are some notable examples: 1. Games with Anti-Cheat Issues Many multiplayer games use anti-cheat software that is incompatible with Linux: Valorant (Vanguard anti-cheat, Windows-only) Destiny 2 (BattlEye, bans Linux users automatically) PUBG: Battlegrounds (BattlEye, inconsistent Linux support) Fortnite (Easy Anti-Cheat, works poorly on Linux) Rainbow Six Siege (BattlEye, may work but with issues) 2. Games with DRM Issues (e.g., Denuvo) Some single-player games struggle on Linux due to DRM or anti-tamper mechanisms: Resident Evil Village (Denuvo caused performance issues, but Proton improvements helped) Mortal Kombat 11 (DRM issues, unstable performance) Hogwarts Legacy (Performance problems on Linux) 3. Games with Poor or No Proton Support Some games just don’t run well or at all due to technical issues: Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar Launcher issues, crashes often) Forza Horizon 5 (Online mode has issues, crashes) Madden NFL series (EA Anti-Cheat problems) NBA 2K series (Bad compatibility, crashes) 4. VR Games with Limited Support VR on Linux is improving but still faces compatibility problems: Half-Life: Alyx (Works but with some glitches) Boneworks (Some tracking issues) Microsoft Flight Simulator (Difficult to set up VR) 5. Microsoft Exclusives & Game Pass Games Microsoft Store and Game Pass games are often difficult to run due to DRM and lack of Linux support: Halo Infinite (Multiplayer has anti-cheat issues) Gears 5 (Game Pass version doesn't work well) Microsoft Flight Simulator (Works, but installation is problematic) You have to keep in mind pippa is a streamer who’s also trying to do vr, she’s not going to feel like fafo’ing and dealing with all the work around and learning curves if she’s already frustrated now. Vr has issues on steam os and that’s one of her main things she’s trying to do is full body and face tracking with tons of extra stuff she’s doing. Alot of her vtubing software and tracking also doesn’t work on Linux. You guys love talking people in your os and that’s awesome but for some it’s just not ideal and the entire reason she’s frustrated now is the fafo. She doesn’t want to trade one fafo for another fafo

Dual booting is a pain and then who wants to shut the pc down and reboot every time you want to switch apps or games. And the. End stream and start a new one if you decide to play a new game while streaming ? Lmao. Also a lot of hardware and software that pippa uses has no steam / Linux support so she’d be forced having to go back and forth back and forth and she’d hate that. There’s alot an extra nuances that people take for granted with being a steam os enjoyer.

Yeah dual booting is a novel idea and fun for people sometimes but it’s not for everyone. Pippa would absolutely throw her pc out the window trying to figure out how to dual boot let alone figure out that a lot of her hardware and devices have little to no Linux support. A lot of the apps she’s using as well and even games she’s playing are not going to work on steam os/linux. Dual booting also isn’t a good option for streamers well because then you have to end stream, reboot pc and get back in windows just to play the other games that don’t work on steam or Linux. Most of the games and programs I use and the hardware I use has little to not support as well. I’ve tried bazzite and a few other variants and I also grew up with Ubuntu and a few other distros as a kid I’d run on lower end machines to get some extra performance out of them. Tinkering with Linux is fun but it’s just not a great solution for certain people no matter how it’s packaged and marketed to a person. I see it quite often where people get talked into it and there’s always those people who love it and then of course the ones that are so mad they can’t do what they can in windows.

Yeah honestly I’d love to see all my games just work on steam os and be able to use my hardware as well. I’m sure with time it might. But… I don’t mind windows 11. Mine runs great but I also debloat all the junk that it installs on default and I disable a ton of crap. I’ve been hearing we may see at least a stripped down version of windows for handhelds made by Microsoft soon or maybe even for desktops too geared more towards gaming

@Grxit @SmugAlana Lmao man the whole time I’m crying and laughing so hard I can’t breath and I’m sitting on edge like man twitch is so gunna take this down lmao. I love when they get together lol. Never a dulll moment

I mean I enjoy black ops 6, mw3, and I also play a ton of game pass games I get free with my 12$ subscription. I refuse to do cloud play. It’s ass. Also if you play any first person shooter there’s an anti cheat and a strong probability it won’t work on steam deck or steam os at all
