Yes. Because some games work only with proper privileges. This can get complicated on NTFS.
Keep a minimum of 30GB free, for Windows update processes on the windows system partition. I don’t how much the windows installation counts in space, but add that to the 30gb free space. I would recommend to have a extra partition for the games on NTFS and move your steam, epic, ubisoft, whatever library to that partition.
I have tried to use the same gaming partition between Linux and Windows, but failed every time. In the worst case this can alter your Windows privileges. At least I had this issue.
Currently I’m using Windows only for 2 games: Space Engineers and Empyrion. The rest works with better performance on Linux. Satisfactory, Ark survival, Elder Scrolls Online have more FPS on Linux with the same settings. I have to use a nvidia 1050 Ti in my laptop. With a AMD GPU the situation is a lot better on Linux.
I’m not a hardcore gamer, mostly im coding here and there. But sometimes gaming is a must have.
OK, many thx for the tips. Since my script in the service file is already doing some logging, i will try to use the last log entry, to find out, when it was last time running and exit the script, if it is not in the timeframe of 1 week.
Oh thats my standard browser. I need Chromium only for testing my webextensions and for Geforce Now. Since the last will not work with Firefox.
I can give it a try, but I would prefer a more “native” approach. I don’t like this flatpack/snap concept. But yes, it’s an alternative.
Yes, that’s my understanding of xdg. But I have no idea what this means for Ungoogled Chromium package. Base Chromium itself isn’t degoogled. It has most of the Google service’s active and enabled. Only a minor subset, like bookmark sync is disabled (but technically available). With Ungoogled Chromium, most (not all) Google dependencies are patched and inactive. At least this was the case as I last checked it. Since I prefer a mostly Google free environment, I would like to use Ungoogled Chromium for testing and a patched Firefox browser for standard web things.
Since a lot of API’s are missing on Android and others have unresolved bugs since age’s, it’s no wonder that Extension developers are total unmotivated to bring more effort to migrate their extensions to the Android platform.
Feel free to try it by yourself. Nothing easier than that. Reboot your phone and try to find it via Find My Device or ring it, without to enter your password before. It will not work.
BTW: it doesn’t make sense to exclude security and privacy related things from encryption. Otherwise there would be an unusually high risk to compromise this sort of data.
Find My Device is completely useless until the device is unlocked. As long as it is rebooted and not unlocked, there is no way to detect its location. Since most phones (if not all), use an encrypted filesystem. With such, no service can’t start if the device isn’t initially unlocked after reboot, including Find my device.
This isn’t only a issue with Google’s implementation, it’s the same with other implementations to.
According to the linked wiki, try to go to https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html.
Check on your laptop with
dmesg | grep -i chipset
the codename of your graphic card. With this you can check which driver is the best on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA. There is a paragraph, explaining which driver is the best.If I understand it right, the nvidia package is the correct one for 1050. So you can use
pacman -S nvidia
with root privileges. All dependencies should be resolved automatically.I would recommend to reboot, in case there are changed kernel modules.
2 things i have to note: Using Wayland is a total mess with nvidia. Specially on Arch Linux. I have screen flickering in GUI and games, the performance is so lala and tools like KeePass which needs access to the text in window titles did not work complete. On Manjaro, the flickering doesn’t exist, but the other symptoms do. Maybe im missing some packages on Arch.
Second with Vulkan i have some tearing in games. I have not looked further in to that.
On the other hand, games like Satisfactory or Elder Scrolls Online, have more FPS with the same settings as on Windows.
Currently i test Arch and Manjaro in parallel on the same Laptop. But I tend to keep Manjaro and remove Arch. There are light pro’s and con’s, but overall, I’m more happy with Manjaro. But this has nothing to do with you’re issue.
