vkd3d-proton VS photoshopCClinux

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.

For DX12 games you must set the env var VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME. But currently it might not work for some games.

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.

Similar issue but different platform - CP77: Black scenery in Konpeki Plaza and No-Tell Motel · Issue #632 · HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton · GitHub

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).

Unless you need the newest features, Photoshop runs surprisingly well under Wine - and I don't mean this in the usual "oh yea, Wine totally works" way where it's a huge pain to set up and is 90% luck, it actually runs with barely more glitches than on Windows (not zero, but it's Adobe software, so you can't expect much).

This is the installer I used to use: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

This one is newer and looks even more promising: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

Indeed it is.

not an expert, but a quick google brought me here

I use this: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

this project on github might be the answer

There are Linux repacks for Photoshop which isn't exactly legal but it sets up wine and it's much easier than installing it on windows https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

Since then, I try to keep an eye on DaVinci Resolve things (like MakeResolveDeb) and things like the WinApps/cassowary, Gictorbit/MiMillieuh Photoshop installer, and Photogimp, or news like about OBS being officially supported on Linux through Flatpak and why that matters.
