    Hey, for proton, if you are running older games, you have to configure winetricks to support 32bit. By default proton is configured for 64bit. You can have both loaded and it will choose the dependency for the game. (Copied)

    i've been using linux for like 15 years and i remember when gaming was just not a thing at all on linux, unless you wanted to play SuperTuxKart (good game still lol) or any myriad of quake clones. Now, thanks to Valve, we have hundreds of games that are even AAA sometimes coming to linux. It's amazing. Some day I might never have to use windows again, right now I still use it for gaming personally because I don't want to fuss around much, but I'm excited for the day that I never have to use microsoft products anymore lol

    @@albummutation2278 I highly recommend you doing the switch but in an smart way. You see, instead of replacing Windows for Gaming drastically, keep a Gaming Windows installation and a Gaming Linux installation, if something doesn't work properly on Linux, hop on Windows. That's what I do and I keep the best of both worlds. Also, CS 1.6 worked pretty well on Linux 15 years ago if I'm not mistaken, so I guess Gaming on Linux wasn't that bad. Not on Windows' level, but hey you could play one of the greatest multiplayer shooters of all time. Here, in Andalusia, Spain the regional governmet shipped laptops with Guadalinex based on the good ol' golden era Ubuntu, we used to call them "los portátiles verdes". They gaved us those machines back in primary school days so we used to play a lot of Counter Strike 1.6 through Wine pretty flawlessly. I remember being a kid and watching how the big boys in the school killed each other in Assault with those laptops.

    I have been using dual boot, eighter Dos/Linux, Win9x/Linux, WinXP/Linux or Win7/Linux since 1995. Only gone full Linux and ditching Windows in 2016. Linux are way better than Windows, pending only three specific situations. The first is that one is gaming hardcore on a PC. Second is that you need access to MS Office due to corporate work. And the third are extremely specific situations, like when your only eeprom programmer is an XGecu TL866-II Plus. 95 percent of situations, Linux are better than anything else, if we look at computing as a whole. Yes. As a whole.

I was fortunate enough to sell it before the M1s hit the market or I would never have gotten back any of the money I put into it. I think what I miss the most, and this is true of all the Intel Macs, is the ability to run BootCamp because I have several Windows apps that Apple doesn't have an adequate replacement for. Sure, I can run it on Parallels, but it won't support old 32-bit apps..

    Fantastic! It’ll be awhile before that Mac Pro will ever go obsolete under Linux especially considering the fact that the GPU has supported by open source drivers (of course the AMDGPU driver being the best of what’s available). I’m willing to bet you could use a dedicated GPU via thunderbolt or perhaps the M.2 PCIE slot that it has (that some have used for NVME SSDs).

    You should compare the performance to the steam deck, And if you click Xbox and A at the same time the side menu will pop up use the on screen overlay when gaming to show temps and everything else. Great video keep up the fantastic work!

    I love my 2013 trashcan Mac Pro, which I've upgraded with a 1 TB NVMe SSD and 64 GB of RAM, and I keep it at MacOS 10.14 Mojave. Mojave is a relatively modern and well-supported version of MacOS, but still has legacy 32-bit application support. Recently, I had a great time replaying Deus Ex: Human Revolution on my trashcan. Most of my vintage Intel Macs run Mojave, and I believe that if your Mac can still run Mojave, you should keep it there (or run a second partition with Mojave) for legacy app support. I have two Mac Pros: my 2013 trashcan, and my heavily-upgraded 2010 cheesegrater, which has a 3.46 six-core CPU (up from a 2.8 GHz quad-core), 48 GB of RAM, a 2 TB NVMe SSD in a glowing PCIe adapter, an RX 580 graphics card, a Blu Ray drive, a USB-C card and a FireWire 400 card.

    I've been rocking the Trashcan Mac until last year, I did try to use Linux on it before getting my current system however I was having graphical issues in Steam, Shadow, and in some games. The GPU driver fix at 08:12 was probably what I was looking for!

    I ADORE Linux running on Macs. My 2011 Mac Mini runs Arco Linux with MOST of the different window managers installed (I gravitate towards the floating window managers...). It also dual-boots into Debian with Cinnamon desktop when I'm just relaxing... My M1 Mac Mini runs Asahi Linux beautifully. Subjectively, apps seem more quick-reacting in Linux than in native macOS Ventura. Looking forward to more Linux-on-Apple adventures.

    I had a weird issue on my main Manjaro Linux PC where some games don't launch with Proton experimental, but they do launch with older versions of Proton. I'm guessing you probably attempted multiple versions of Proton though.

    In 2008 I bought a Xeon Workstation with 8x2500Mhz, 32GByte memory and a RAID1 made from 2x1TByte+60GByte Caching-SSD. It did cost €2500. Apple would have demanded around €5000 for a much less powerful configuration. Actually I still use this system as a secondary computer because its SMP power is still pretty solid.

    Thanks for the how-to video. I have a Late-2013 Mac Pro with 6-core Intel Xeon E5 that I would like to install Bazzite on. When I go to the Bazzite web site and attempt to download the .iso image, the "select hardware type" pull-down menu says: "coming soon" for Apple Hardware. Where can I find the correct .iso image?

    I've got one of these. When it came out my tower Mac Pro was starting to get near the end of its lifecycle. I didn't really like the non-expandible form factor, but I did have a move coming up so it actually was a convenient time to downsize my desktop. Served me well for 6 years. Since OS/X no longer supports it (and I have enough other Apple hardware that I don't need it for that role anymore) I've tried various Linux distros on it. Currently it's just being used to test some stuff on Debian/unstable. Unfortunately display wake-up hasn't been reliable... Might be because it has an old 30" monitor connected via the Apple active mini-DP to DVI converter. I should try it with a newer monitor I guess, but then I don't know what purpose I'd have for that 30"er since nothing else I own can output dual-link DVI. I'll look at trying the other AMD driver. I'm not gaming or anything on it so I don't really care about GPU performance but maybe it will be more reliable on wake-up

    I own a 2009 cMP (all built out, of course) and have just relegated it to storage and Windows duty in favor of my 16" M2 MBP. But man I have a soft spot for the tcMP. I've been spending a lot of time browsing eBay for a dual D700 in great cosmetic condition. I'm going to upgrade the storage, CPU and memory and ultimately attach it to my TV to stream 4k movies from my cMP or MBP. The engineering is incredible and the design has actually grown on me a lot. I think Apple would have been better off expanding the size of the cMP but now that we're well past that point, it's tech well worth preserving and displaying.

    I play all my games on Linux these days I have yet to find a game I can't get to run . some require a little tinkering and figuring out which version of proton to work . I don''t think I have booted into windows for over a year. I love that Linux can bring new life to old equipment that might otherwise find its way to the landfill
