Cause atleast it's not chrome
Had me in the first half
I used to install it with bottles and it seemed to work fine (but i haven't really played it apart from testing if it worked), but bottles gave me some issues as of late so i decided to install the ea launcher as a non steam game. It didnt work with regular proton but after using ge-proton the game booted just fine. I now have a weird issue where jedi fallen order doesn't work though. Tried both bottles and steam, but the game immediately crashes with an unreal engine error. It's weird because i have played it in the past on linux just fine.
Do you actually need the ram upgrade? Cause if not you might as well wait until you upgrade to a new platform. I went from 16gb to 32gb of ram purely because i still had my old ram laying around from a previous build and decided to throw it in (yeah i know mixed ram is bad and all but i haven't had any problems so far and i didn't have to sacrifice that much mhz for it) and if i'm being honest, so far i haven't felt like i needed 32gb at all. The most i've probably done with it is allocate more ram to my vm, which also doesn't really need that much for my usecase either.
Imagine darth vader calling palpatine main
My repos use main because i guess that was the default, but i don't really care. I mean i also call my window manager layout master/stack and i don't see what's wrong with that.
The only problem i had with my 6950xt was that overclocking was partially broken, but it has already been fixed since kernel 6.7 came out. Other than that i've had no problems.
Yeah that's what i use now too. The official home manager page kinda sucks purely because it has no search function. You're scrolling forever until you finally find what you're looking for lol.
While i like NixOS as an entire OS as well, at the moment i'm experimenting with just using nix + home manager on top of whatever distro i want, and i just had the realization that in the rare case that a package is not in nixpkgs, if you make your own derivation for it to build it from source, you can take that with you anywhere as well and don't have to make another package for different distros you might be running. Pretty cool.
Sorry for keeping you hanging, i actually got the idea from here you can ignore the nixgl stuff because that wouldn't be needed anymore, but the important part is building a derivation with those drivers in it, and then symlink those folders to /run. It should work with rocm/cuda as well but i haven't troed that yet. I've done some basic testing in a vm while i'm working on the config and so far for opengl stuff it has been working fine.
Depends on the game. Bottleneck shouldn't give you increased stuttering or anything i don't think, but you're just leaving potential performance on the table cause the gpu can't fully stretch its legs. When i went from a vega 64 to a 6950xt, at 3440×1440, i noticed an uplift but depending on the game it wasn't as big as i thought it would be. Then i upgraded my cpu from a 3900x to a 5800x3d and in gta online my fps doubled. Went from barely hitting 60 to 100+ fps

Yeah just create a git repo or something, or if you think that's overkill for your needs you can just make sure to backup the config to a external ssd or usb.
