Yeah that sounds even better. What service do you use?

Realized today that borgbackup failed for almost 2 months straight on one of my servers (was a simple case of a lock being stuck). Finally setup push notifications via Pushover to notify on success/fail.

I’d honestly stick to proven, well-supported distros like openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora or Ubuntu, especially as a newcomer.

Would be awesome if you’d share your solution for the next person encountering the same issue :)

What exact GPU model? Kernel version? Have you tried it with SELinux disabled temporarily?

While I agree that Proton is awesome, running a game originally released for PS3/360 with enhanced visuals at 60 FPS (instead of 30ish) on a 1660 Ti is hardly anything to write home about.

To be honest I think most issues Intel Arc has under Linux just come down to the tiny user base. Intel provides solid Linux support, I’d say it’s probably on par with AMD.

Proton and such will have more incompatibilities, as will Mesa. You can report issues with specific games in Valve’s proton repository. Sometimes someone will have a workaround for you, and usually issues will be fixed eventually, especially if you’re willing to test changes and provide feedback.
