I removed all of my other arguments and tried to start with "gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f %command%", when I start the game the "Processing Vulkan Shaders" steam pop-up shows up, and when I click "Skip" (as I always do) it just disappears, no error or anything, the "Play" button on steam just goes back to green.
Monitor and game both running with 240hz set as refresh rate, game is also set to max fps at 360 but also have display refresh rate set to 240hz (yes, there were separate options for this)
I attempted to run the game using gamescope but I'm not very familiar with using it, I was unable to add gamescope to the steam command arguments and also running the game executable with the command through the terminal. I'm not sure what the error is or if I'm just not using gamescope correctly.
RAM configs and weird BIOS settings from Dell is my bet. I never managed to solve it so I am unsure. I have tried several Ubuntu and Debian flavors and have had the same issues. Gonna run some Fedora-based distro and take more care of RAM configs on my next one I think.
Hibernate never works. On every work laptop and distro I've used I've always found the laptop spinning and overheating in my bag when I get home. Eventually I just made sure to turn it off completely when I quit work.
Yep, port forwarding is gone. Never used it before but now that I actually need it it's gone. In other areas I'd say Mullvad is number one for VPNs. Sweden based, great transparency, fair price model and no shady parent companies.
Thank you for the comment, a very interesting solution! I'm thinking of using Google as little as possible however. I would like to look into how to setup some access from outside the network via some VPN shenanigans.
I was also looking at automating backups with Cron - both DB and images to other disks and devices.
I got Immich up and running but have had some stuff come in the way to spend more time with it.
Got gamescope working but the issue still persists. I'm gonna try launching in different DE aswell as letting shaders fully compile.
