I can’t even install graphics drivers for RDNA4 on #Ubuntu #linux 22.04.5. The required minor revisions of certain libraries are simply not available to install, so far as I can find.

It’s a real pain because the generic display driver provided is somehow much, much slower than even window’s generic display driver. Even moving the mouse around is a struggle.

minor victory with #CachyOS #Linux: I can now open a SSH from my personal macbook! Next task is to add key authentication in place of password authentication. Also I'd want to change the default shell from fish to zsh, since I do so much work from my work macbook that I'm accustomed to zsh.

I wish I did not need to do a search to discover that some obtuse write error means NTFS from Steam over #Linux is not officially supported for #Linuxgaming. Ah well. Was really hoping that would be plug-and-play. I do have a sizable Steam library across multiple NTFS formatted drives. Furthermore it looks like there is no safe way to convert from NTFS to EXT4 in-place. So I get to make a backup. This is going to take a while.

@PatrickQuin You can convert from NTFS to BTRFS in place, but I don't know how safe it is or if BTRFS is acceptable for you.

@jackemled for the one NVMe that is little more than a collection of Steam games, I only care that Steam works.

@PatrickQuin Steam shouldn't have an issue with BTRFS, but I don't know how the conversion from NTFS works. I've never done it before, but I've seen it mentioned in the manual.
