I’m using fedora 42 kde on my new laptop since I couldn’t get mint working - fucking visit drivers.

Anywho, doom: the dark ages runs like wet ass and I’m wondering if it has something to do with video codecs or mesa )don’t know what mesa is and there’s a 5080 in there.

I reinstalled tempeh and all my videos work, but - any chance you could point me towards what to do with the video codecs just so I can confirm? If you can offer some guidance on how to install whatever mesa is I want to try that to see if it helps (even though afaik the game should be using the ncidia drivers anyway).

The laptop has a ryzen cpu btw.

Also cool if you can’t help. Figured I’d ask. I’m new to fedora.

IPv4 killed my parents.

I feel personally attacked by this post.

I can’t get doom the dark ages to run at a playable frame rate on my Ryzen 9 / etc 5080 laptop.

Literally the only issue I’ve ever had with Linux gaming.

im handy with a soldering iron but dont know jack about the math behind electronics - can you provide any guidance as to how one would do this,

id be comfortable deslldering something and surface soldering something back onto a pcb but i am mot sure how what i would actually need to do to do this.

Also while im on the subject - how woukd one do this with bluetooth with a device with a bluetooth chip soldered to the board?

way back in the early oughts i was in a tech enjanced learning program - on paper it was a solid idea. Small class size with hands-on support from our schools more tech literate teachers.

in practice we pretty much just tried to play quake 3 with each other withojt getting caught.

our teacher was on a years long crusade to find the server hosting the quake 3 installer, as we had software that locked the hard drives so any changes would be undone when rebooted. to my knowledge he never did, and the entire drama around it was hollarious.

it needs an uninformative but funny file extension.

The great news is that all you really need to do to use bazzite is click on things in the gui so your skill set will be a perfect fit.

how would you defend against this?

like. if they decide they want to get on your shit how do you stop them? how would you even know? who the fuck would believe you if you did?

exacrly this. i have been preparing for this for a decade.
