  • pre-ryzen AMD CPUs were always a bit on the budget side even when they were new. They were a bit more power efficient and cheaper, but never were amazing performance. So yeah, a 15 year old CPU is often rough, but a 15 year old low-mid end CPU is going to be even worse off.

    Ive not had issues with Counterstrike 2 on linux, aside from wanting to play FaceIt or ranked matches that have stricter third party anticheat. And that’s just the anticheat being the problem.

    I would venture a guess that linux is not “the problem” here and it’s more likely just aging hardware meeting increasing game demands.

    The only time in recent years I’ve had specifically a problem with linux gaming performance (not related to anticheat), was playing VR on a pre-GCN AMD GPU which didn’t support async reprojection properly which caused quite a bit of stuttering.




  • Steam deck highlights that Windows -> SteamOS translation is good enough.

    I’ve use my Index on Bazzite successfully with no issues, so I’m confident in SteamOS VR capabilities.

    ARM-based is the only wildcard, but if fex works, then that’s not an issue either.

    Then just onboard compute performance is the only factor. But like you said, even if this winds up only being a “stream everything, its a wireless index,” then I’m already excited.
