AMD x PCMR - Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Worldwide Giveaway - Win a Limited Edition AMD Avatar Kit that includes the Limited-Edition AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU and Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU (Only 500 of each ever made!). There are 23 kits up for grabs!
Exchange my 750W PSU for a stronger one as 7900 XTX is a hungry beast, then some upscaling/AI work on (Arch BTW) Linux, testing Cyberpunk 2077 with RT once this fix is in Proton-GE. For the CPU I would obviously have to get a new mobo, and new RAM and then I would test how fast the Dwarf Fortress world generator is/slow, Cities Skylines I/II, RimWorld, Paradox Interactive games, and so on.

Steam on hyprland is running on the onboard graphics instead of discrete GPU
For DX12 games you must set the env var VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME. But currently it might not work for some games.

Alan Wake 2 Is an Unexpected Visual Marvel Even on Older GPUs
If anyone is playing on Linux with an AMD GPU and has texture issues (missing FBI text on the characters' jackets is the give away), it can be fixed with applying a patch to mesa-git: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/175.... It should hopefully be implemented soon. I think it's only limited to RDNA2.

Major programming faults discovered in Starfield's code by VKD3D dev - performance issues are *not* the result of non-upgraded hardware
Vkd3d (the dx12->vulkan translation layer) developer has put up a change log for a new version that is about to be (released here) and also a pull request with more information about what he discovered about all the awful things that starfield is doing to GPU drivers (here).

Steam Deck
I haven't used it myself but steamtinkerlaunch is definitely your best bet. It lets you easily set up Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex directly on your Deck. The quite extensive wiki will provide more information than I possibly could.

Man New Vegas looks so good on here! Forgot how great this game was. Still can't believe I'm playing this on a handheld.
Tinker Launcher is the easiest way to do it. There is also a third party Linux "port" of MO2 you can install. Tinker Launcher is my preferred method. ProtonupQT is not where you get it from. https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Installation

Does vortex collection work on lutris?
Another app / set of scripts I have found is https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch.
