Welcome to the channel!
If your'e looking for pro plays then you have obviously come to the wrong place!
I stream for fun. As long as someone finds the stream enjoyable I will be happy, no other reason hence why it is either Gaming or Science & Tech that I stream.
**Why are you not using Lutris or Proton/Steam Play for X game?**
I try games out in Lutris when I need to tinker to get them to work, but if i have any issues i cant solve with it i will resort to VFIO, or i will go with VFIO just to keep things in 1 place.
Now about Proton/Steam Play, if the game does not run well on my RX570 or controller support is not working correctly or the game has other issues in Proton, then i will use VFIO.
I try use Proton whenever i can, so that the OS gets registered as Linux for the developers steam statistics (confirmed by a game developer i talked to)
**Why do you not use \*insert desktop environment here\* as your desktop environment?**
I love Gnome-Shell, and it works great on multi monitor workflows like i have, i do rely on a few extensions to make it work for me, however it is not perfect. Hence why I am using my own Material-Awesome environment for the awesome window manager.
I do however love Xfce4 and KDE5 just as much. KDE is great and is very configurable, Xfce4 is lightweight and has enough features to be modern enough.
I like cinnamon too but i am no fan of the start menu in it, it is too big with too much dead space.
Got any Tech or Linux questions?
Feel free to ask me on stream!
I will try my best to answer them!
