What’s a better alternative?
Went from Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Garuda, Kubuntu, Bazzite, now CachyOS. Cachy has been wonderful for all my needs


It’s usually Experimental, but I’ve played around with others to set as default. Most recent was 8.0-4 since that’s what Fo4 usually likes.


With the steam - d bit:


Should have been when I did the clean install and used the setup assistant to download some extras.


I have waited before and either it ran or it didn’t depending on the machine I was using at any given time. Inconsequential generally. But as far as today, no I have not. It seems to take hours when I have let it previously.


Here’s what I got:

I’ll try that out, but typically when I have tried using launch options they have never worked so far.
I tried Half Life and Gmod and those ran fine, but those are the only games out of like 100.


8.0-5


Just for now I am having the issue of not veing able to run Fo4 on Steam anymore when I have otherwise been able to run it with no issue. It just up and wouldn’t let me boot it up one day. No matter what I tried. All that happens is that I will pick a Proton version I know it worked with, click Play and then it does the stupid Vulkan shaders bit. I click Skip which would normally be fine, and then it just crashes and says Play again in green. Haven’t been able to get it to work.
Totally unmodded, I couldn’t get that shit figured out anyway and lost interest. Just wanted to play what I had, which is what I was doing before it decided to torment me.


I’m sorry she ran away with the President.

They would be better if they were funded better.
