Looks like it works pretty well in Linux if you ask me. Just make sure you use a distro with a more recent kernel (6.0+).

Thank you I tried finding info on this and everything seemed to be vague I'll check on the holo iso see which kernel it and Chimera Os Use.

She's up and running newest version of Holo testing tomorrow.

If you end up having issues with HoloISO you can always revert to JoeBlow distro and run Steam in Big Picture Mode.

Got Chimera OS as well testing on the other APU rig see if I can make that a portable Emulation rig for old retro games.

when i first heard of this i was on the older steam variant seems the newest version now has nvidia support. lol part of reason i built his is to move gaming to linux in a big way and becuase they flat out said

• I have an NVIDIA G-

No. Not even questionable. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, You're on your own. Latest Valve updates for Steam client including normal and Jupiter bootstraps have broken gamepadui on NVIDIA GPUs, and if so, no support will be provided for you

Updated with pics of the RGB running think I'll go static once I learn the right combo R-0 G-255 B255 seems to give a nice whitish color. Gota use values 0-255 under each corresponding letter.
