  • I use Sunshine/Moonlight, OBS, Discord screen share, all on Wayland and an AMD GPU. No issues, both on my old Arch install and now NixOS. Every now and then there’s some issues in the actual updates that get pushed to these things, but those aren’t usually specific to my system. For example just recently an update was pushed to the loopback module OBS uses for virtual camera, but the OBS update that utilized it hadn’t been pushed yet, so I got a crash.


  • Matrix, and there’s a P2P one that just went around called PeerSuite? Both are far from perfect, but at least aren’t yucky corpo platforms. Sorry to come across so harsh in the initial comment, the tone in my head was light hearted I promise lol. More of a “I’m happy to help figure out an alternative communication stream in order to make me a useful tester.” Might be worth making your game a Mastodon account to direct people to from the Steam page? Could be a good spot to encourage people to learn about the fediverse and provide a channel for updates and a message system for testers? Idk. Discord is somewhat unique still in the type of organizational tools it provides, hence the love-hate relationship I have with it lol




  • I realize you’ve already made your switch, but I wanted to toss in my 2 cents. I had a very similar, though shorter term experience with Arch, and I still love it dearly, but over time some jank began to creep in around the edges. The time came to make some sort of change when I finally decided to wipe the windows boot drive I had in the system. I took the opportunity to upgrade the m.2 ssd and decided on NixOS for a handful of reasons, and it’s honestly been super refreshing. I feel even more in control of the stability of my system than any OS I’ve used before. If something is going wrong, it is most likely something I did in my config, or the config isn’t even valid and the system tells me exactly what is wrong before I even get to a point where I’m trying to boot into a broken system. I ignored a lot of the online recommendations to use flakes and home manager and whatever. Just a single text file with all the details of my system in it. I find it incredibly digestible compared to tracking down issues with Arch.

    Anyway, I also have a Bazzite system, and like it. Sounds like you’ve found a nice new home!
