Ohh, I don't use their web based application... The compiler is open-source, so I just run it completely offline

Github repo for reference on how to install the compiler/CLI version

Big fan of Typst these days;

Markdown-like syntax, with LaTeX typesetting, great for technical documents at least

From what I've read Galaxy allows for downloading specific version of the games.

Might be misremembering, so take it with a pinch of salt

Surely they'll make a native Linux client then, right, right?!

(Meanwhile; shoutout to Heroic)

The mounting the partition with the current Kubuntu install was just to ensure that the data migration was working as-is, i.e. a sanity check.

And the ArchWiki link was more for the general concept of sharing drive between OSes, you can ignore the Windows specifics

Good luck with the setup, it should be doable :)

In general I was thinking; If you keep your steam library to a seperate partition you can easily mount that in the same matter as you would now, making the Steam migration very easy, while making your root and home partition(s) fresh otherwise

I'm not sure about migrating a single game, Steam is keeping a database (VDF-something if I recall correctly) of what you have installed, so it might get a bit confused if it suddenly only finds a single game.

If you have sufficient space on your drive(s) you could:

1. Create a new partition
2. Copy over all of Steam related files
3. Move your home/.steam folder to a backup folder
4. Mount your new partition on your Kubuntu install
5. If that works, you can keep that partition on your CachyOS install

I think this blog covers the topic

EDIT: ArchWiki on sharing drive with Windows

1. How is your steam library currently installed?
   • Is it part of your home directory?
   • Is it a seperate partition?
2. M.2 SSDs should provide sufficient speeds, it shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things whether you run a RAMdisk or from NVMe storage.
3. Are you re-using your home directory from Kubuntu or will you be starting 'fresh' with the exception of your Steam library?

Any particular reason you're not on/tested the v590-branch? Of course it might be borked compared to 570, but might be worth a shot?

FYI:

the default, one of AMDVLK and RADV

I think that AMDVLK is shipping RADV per default now, so you might as well use RADV (for gaming, there might be other differences in OpenCL etc.), see Github/AMDVLK for more information;

In a move to streamline development and strengthen our commitment to the open-source community, AMD is unifying its Linux Vulkan driver strategy and has decided to discontinue the AMDVLK open-source project, throwing our full support behind the RADV driver as the officially supported open-source Vulkan driver for Radeon™ graphics adapters.

Why not just grab the previous PKGBUILD version that worked?

Not sure if you have the same problem or not, but I had intermittent jitter spikes (and/or complete package drops) every 60 seconds on my Realtek chipset, ran:

sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

And it's been stable since (just had to make a udev rule to make it persistent across boot)

amdvlk, any reason you're not using the MESA driver, RADV?
