Hi all,
I’m traveling for a few months so I picked up a used gaming laptop from one of those trading sites. It’s an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024.
I initially went with Windows because I wanted to game. I was gonna miss my terminal for dev and a bunch of other things but I thought compatibility and not dealing with hassle was more important for now. The thing is, for some reason, the laptop would be running really hot all the time … even when idling.
I got fed up and I put Pop OS! loaded steam with the compatibility stuff and ran a few games really well. My only issue so far was that the laptop keyboard didn’t work during installation but after an update it was fine. The laptop obviously gets hot when running games but when idling it runs really cool.
This is now making me feel like I can convert my gaming desktop over as well!
I was considering Bazzite too? Anyone know if it’s worth it?
Isn’t it possible to use flatpak? Then Steam would come with all its required 32 bit libraries in the flatpak.
No. At least not for projects like Bazzite, where Steam features like Big Picture / SteamOS mode can’t work as a flatpak for technical reasons. There are also major problems running games that way, too. The technical details are being heatedly discussed in the Fedora community if your interested in the nitty-gritties.
There’s plenty of different solutions, but anything that isn’t what people already have is gonna upset.
