    I've loved using Linux on my steamdeck to game, but sadly I cant really switch because of lossless scaling. LSFG is too good to stop using, and there's no Linux equivalent. not even afmf2 works on linux

    Use whatever you want

    Don't let the Linux fans try to tell you that Linux is this amazing thing that can fix all your problems.

    [–] randomname@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Linux is, in general far better than windows in my experience. its just that certain must-have applications are only available on windows

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    You are allowed to use both

    [–] randomname@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    allowed, yes. but switching between multiple operating systems on the same device is simply a pain in the ass.

    Is it really that bad, though? Compared to spending hours fighting with 3rd party drivers or wine or etc. every time there's a change to the software in question, restarting to a different partition is pretty trivial. Configure both OSs to mirror non-sys files to network storage or a shared partition (and there's plenty of ready-made utilities for this) and it's honestly a pretty easy solution to being stuck with "iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD" software.

    I get where you're coming from, I do. The only reason I'm saying this is because the difficulty in dual booting is often brought up when discussing switching, and it really discourages people that are curious about trying linux (but are still tied to the apple/M$ world) from making the switch when they're constantly told how hard it is to use both.

    [–] randomname@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

    I wouldn't have any actual problems doing the dual boot itself, its just that I don't want to deal with not having my data synced between operating systems

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

    I use virtualization to make it seemless. You can even use automatic provisioning tools to deploy VMs with stuff preinstalled.

    Gamescope is technically lossless scaling without the framegen. Technically it should be possible to add to gamescope.

    [–] randomname@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

    yes, but lossless scaling is closed source and the developer has decided not to try adding Linux support. supposedly its because of it's reliance on windows capture apis
