I would say if I lived with lonus Wallace III over here in fantasy land where any of that was true so far the one month Linux gaming challenge has been as advertised a challenge and in part two Luke and I are going to be taking it to the next level by not just gaming on Linux but by recording and streaming our gameplay to viewers on Twitch now I'd be lying if I said I'm not expecting some speed bumps like this small one here to tell you about our sponsor are you running into poor quality video meetings use glass wire and instantly see what apps are wasting your bandwidth during your meeting and block them get 25% off today using offer code Linus at the link in the video description with our desktop environment set up Luke and I have a deceptively short pre-flight checklist of tasks to complete to be streaming ready we'll need comms to chat and collaborate with our fellow creators and software that's capable of capturing our gameplay audio and face cams and obviously we'll need the aformentioned audio interfaces and cameras both working we both use Elgato key lights which we've always controlled using Windows software so we'll both need to find a workaround for that and no points will be awarded for having an ugly or bad sounding stream it's got to look every bit as legit from a viewer perspective as it did on Windows immediately I started overthinking things sometimes that's the problem with knowing just enough to be dangerous I tried to apt get OBS the industry standard for desktop capture and streaming in the terminal only to discover that manaro the Linux distribution that I'm using doesn't come with apt because apt is from managing packages on Debian and related os's oops making life more difficult the message that comes up when you try to execute the command doesn't say hey you should probably be using Pac-Man you duns it tries to install some kind of dependency for apt then just quietly fails and prompts you to do the same thing again when you try to use it infinite Loop baby speaking of which I had a panic moment when I checked OBS compatibility and found out that it is actually unsupported in art by the way and its derivatives but the good news is that upon launch I was immediately relieved to find that it works exactly as expected with some exceptions for example the nank new encoder doesn't show up as an option which appears to be down to NVIDIA's poop tastic drivers on Linux side note here I always kind of assumed that the Linux Community was grousing about NVIDIA primarily for their locked down proprietary approach to things and that it had less to do with the actual quality of the product now I properly understand that it is definitely both as mentioned core product functionality from like a couple of years ago is missing the control panel looks like it's from 10 years ago and the interface is kind of confusing thankfully I was able to enable g-sync on my display but for whatever reason you allow it in order to actually turn it on which you then verify in a completely different Tab and this kind of confusion is not a deal breaker it's just obvious that the Linux software has never gotten the kind of TLC from the ux team that the Windows software does for me acquiring OBS was no problem I just got it from the package manager and it was all okay once installed though we noticed something window capture on Linux can be a little problematic we couldn't seem to get it working at all at the start I had an option for it but it didn't work and Linus didn't even have that but a few days later I tried it again for a different project and it worked just fine I checked in with lonus and his did too neither of us know what might have fixed it but that's cool I guess the bigger issue for me ended up being the software that just doesn't exist there are third party tools for example that allow key remapping keyboarding Master is evidently a popular one but if your peripherals have a manufacturer provided tool that is used to reconfigure RGB lighting or the liftoff distance of your mouse or or the sensitivity steps of your DPI button then get ready to install Windows in a virtual machine pass those devices through configure them and then hand them back over to Linux it's extremely tedious and doesn't even remotely restore full functionality for example don't expect to get a low battery warning for your grpro wireless mouse and it's even worse for my audio interface the go XLR has a handful of unique features including decent preamps reprogramming screen labels a built-in soundboard function and the infamous beep button that I am so fond of using during my live streams about the kind of that NVIDIA puts them through I'll have it in the affiliate link down below by the way the bad news about it is that as far as I can tell TC Helicon has given exactly zero thought to Linux whatsoever but wait there's the solution all I have to do is follow these simple instructions to download a random script off GitHub and run it with no indication given whatsoever for how exactly to run a script even the process of downloading it was unintuitive and I know GitHub is for developers and not for end users but it's really hard to hide behind that Shield when it took me less than 2 days to run into a situation where I had to use it I mean at that point if GitHub is only for developers then desktop Linux is only for developers you can't have it both ways unlike on LT store where you can find great merch at fair prices our Mouse mats are rated five stars with literally thousands of reviews go see what all the fuss is about at the link below anyway I found a guide on how to run a script I'm grateful for that but I'm frustrated by the condescending tone I mean my assumption that a file with a sh extension would behave as I would expect it to and launch in some kind of script running application doesn't seem that unreasonable news flash random contributor you can also change a file extension in Windows and it will attempt to launch in the default program for that file type it actually serves exactly the same fundamental purpose hinting at the contents of the file the only difference is that these hints for the user are also used as hints for the operating system it's actually a lot more convenient than digging into the properties of the file to find out what it does anyway pompus tone aside that contributor did helped me figure out my GitHub download so it turns out that rightclick save Target as gets you an H HML file insh clothing because I don't know some borderline arbitrary reason probably and in order to get it to be an actual sh file I had to copy it into a text editor Kate and then save that as a script and execute it in the terminal it spat out a bunch of errors and as I expected most of the buttons don't work but all the inputs and outputs that I had already configured in Windows did show up my faders work I even have my button until my go XLR loses power for any reason at which point I will have to pass it through to Windows reconfigure it in Windows and then pass it back over to Linux without losing power compared to that all the other stuff is minor I hope the most notable issue I had was that my audio devices were just kind of screwy in OBS my voice came across very unnaturally deep and it sounded like my mic input had been duplicated my voice just feels deep right now I don't know if I've got something lodged or what yeah chat was pretty convinced that I had set something up incorrectly and if I was a viewer of my stream I probably would have said the same thing but I've been using OBS for like six or seven years now so I had my doubts I even streamed my OBS settings panel to prove it but eventually feeling out of options I just restarted OBS and yeah that solved pretty much everything which was kind of frustrating because I've heard time and time again that you don't have to turn things off and on again to get them working in Linux but hey maybe that's just cuz I'm not really great at Linux yet maybe there's something else I could have done not sure on the good side of things though my mixer has worked flawlessly from the start though it is pretty simple as far as mixers go I didn't have to change any settings I didn't have to install anything for it I just set it as my default input device and was good to go once I got pamac figured out getting comms going was surprisingly simple pamac is a program with a graphical user interface that functions similarly to the Pac-Man package manager that you operate in the terminal at least it does once you find the hidden button in pamac to search snap flat pack and Arch user repository entries it's basically like the pop shop from popos except it didn't try to Brick my system the first time I used it the only really difficult thing was choosing the right package to install for Discord there's regular Discord and then there's Canary Discord whatever that is I chose the most official looking package and I was up and running almost immediately once I found the super convenient per application volume mixer in the bottom right corner the interface is kind of cludy like scrolling with your mouse wheel Scrolls through both the audio devices and the levels of the individual devices which is not great but other than that it works really well and my first voice call to Luke went completely without a hitch or it would have if I'd known that it was starting unfortunately I actually still have not figured out how to get desktop notifications working I found a guide but the instructions fell apart almost immediately when my Discord package didn't show up in the list where it's supposed to be for me to fix it I think that's probably a project for another day Discord was an easy install for me again it was just automatically available in package manager that being said there was certain missing features screen sharing across slack teams and Discord are kind of sketchy at best they feel less stable or they're even missing some features here and there outside of that there's even really simple stuff missing every now and then like if I download a file and slack and then try to click the open containing folder button just nothing happens and speaking of missing features I used the phone app for the Elgato control center just like Linus did I had found another solution through a script on GitHub but I thought that way would potentially be problematic in the long term so I just avoided it unfortun for my camera however Canon EOS utilities doesn't work on Linux I'd been using that software on Windows for quite a while now to get a live feed from my Canon 70D over USB to my computer it was Flawless and didn't require a capture card I do have an Avio 4K capture card which does work on Linux but I don't have the micro HDMI cable that it would need to connect to my camera I could pick one up but just for this challenge I decided to go with my old Logitech C 920 which while it doesn't remotely look as good it works just fine and when you make the window for it really small no one can really tell I think overall the easiest part for me was getting my cam link 4K up and running it was garbled when I selected one of the duplicate sources in OBS but immediately after trying the second one it cleared up and has been Picture Perfect ever since so it works but there's a much larger upfront investment in getting it working the question is just whether it feels worth it in in the end it worked if you connected to the stream after we were done about 15 minutes of troubleshooting while we were just in the thick of trying not to starve I'm sure any random viewer wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between one of my old Windows streams and this one audio was good capture was good that's where the good ends however literally everything I used past this point was a lesser experience compared to its Windows counterpart almost everything was missing at least one feature and some I i' say most notably OBS and teams were just buggy requiring restarts for simple settings to actually apply and had other various problems it definitely wasn't impossible and it was actually easier than I expected but due to various bugs missing features and incompatible software it wasn't as simple or clean as doing it on Windows that I wouldn't say that was enough for it to be a deal breaker for me the bottom line is what you're looking to get out of it if you're daily driving Linux for game streaming out of a genuine passion for learning more about it than have at it have fun but just know what you're getting into PC gaming already requires a certain amount of tinkering I mean there's a reason that more people game on consoles you know whether it's trying to track down save files in some Vista era folder or forcing an aspect ratio in an inii file but a Linux gaming PC it requires all of that crap and then another mountain of crap on top of it like when something doesn't work you can tell yourself you know well I never wanted to use that functionality or I never wanted to play that game anyway but honestly it just comes across as sour grapes it is not that easy to use the good news though is that a shocking number of experiences don't start and end with sorry you can't do this so stay tuned for part three where Luke and I are going to be trying to get as many games up and running as possible starting with twitch's top 20 and then expanding into some of our personal favorites it's going to be a really good one just like this message from our sponsor thanks to pulseway for sponsoring today's video pulseway is an all-in-one platform management tool that can help protect your
