Now to do gaming.
Steam is already on the desktop. Very impressive (insert project farm audio).
installs no problem.
Change desktop, update mouse settings - recognized and installed drivers for it already.
reboot. Install skyrim. Won’t install. Settings compatibility, enable steam play for all titles. Restart required. Restart. Now steam is not following the 150% scaling so it’s too small to read. Sigh. Linux. Squint. Settings run with proton 9. Restart required. Restart, install skyrim. Install to: leave default /home.
start Skyrim. Launches. Very sluggish. Unplayable. Will try restart. Switch to proton experimental. Restart.
Inspiration Rightclick on Skyrim …properties… force compatibility proton 9
still horrible. Unplayable.
everything seems to be working but some small weird-nesses. Mouse stutters, was smooth on windows 10/11 and garuda. nobara sometimes doesn’t recognize number pad on keyboard. Banging on keyboard for a bit and it recognizes it’s there… useually. Windows scaling works in os, but steam keeps messing it up, even when I check application does scaling or windows does scaling. I went to settings in steam turned application scaling off (it was on), then back on, and rebooted and it seems ok for now.
miss my Mac like interface in garuda. Don’t like that the strip at bottom doesn’t go all way to bottom of desktop. Wastes space and has strip of wallpaper under the task bar thingie. Windows users will like this. Very windows 7. Easy to navigate. Things where you expect.
everything’s seems… sluggish. Garuda was much more snappy/responsive.
everything except Skyrim works… sigh. Initial install better than garuda… except the one thing I am doing this for. Skyrim.
update.
updated everything, restarted a million times. Skyrim working good.
now onto modding, first step vortex mod manager.
update 2.
dowloaded vortex, not working right but it is installed. I was able to download mods
installed mod manager 2 and it can’t download mods but it can instal the mods I dowloaded from vortex.
I have installed my first mod and it’s working.
yay!
