1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,520 you're just putting the finishing touches on your brand new gaming rig 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,280 cables organized graphics card in 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,519 side panel on and you're about to get going fast 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,320 but then wait wha what is this 5 00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:22,080 i'm sorry you need what no we'll just turn all this stuff off 6 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:27,039 here we go wait a minute 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,240 some of this stuff isn't even optional 8 00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:35,280 and making matters worse this is just the 9 00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,680 stuff that microsoft is telling us about 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:44,879 i mean all i wanted to do was get some frags 11 00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,120 not join the freaking botnet 12 00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:47,120 hey 13 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:53,760 i think i know something that might help with that oh my god wendell from level 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,760 one text how's it going what are you doing in my closet 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:04,239 it's a long story uh you know what no never mind since you're here can you help me with my sponsor spot no but i 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:09,439 can't help you fix your gaming problem okay well hey let's give it a shot 17 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,640 and while we're at it you know what else is worth a shot origin pc origin pc 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,200 offers beautiful custom desktops and laptops such as their evo 15s that 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:25,520 weighs only 4.3 pounds and is under an inch thick featuring smooth 144hz 1080p 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,759 or 4k displays and an NVIDIA GeForce gtx 1070 max q be sure to check them out at 21 00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:31,920 the link below i don't know if i messed it up because i wasn't sure what i was 22 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:42,720 supposed to do so i went back in the closet no no that's fine 23 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,159 the last time i checked the graphics 24 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:53,759 driver in particular situation on Linux was abominable and when it comes to wine 25 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,880 i mean any newer titles pretty much anything requiring directx 10 or directx 26 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:04,159 11 was a total mess like has any of that changed actually uh 27 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,680 the everything you said was wrong what you're referring to is Linux is 28 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,080 actually gnu slash Linux or as i've recently taken to calling it gnu plus 29 00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:15,200 Linux and the driver situation has improved dramatically 30 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,680 you know both AMD and NVIDIA have put a lot of work into their drivers AMD has 31 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,760 got a really amazing open source driver in the very latest Linux kernels and on 32 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,440 the wine side of things we've got dxvk which is a real-time directx translation 33 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,160 layer to vulkan so you can play games like the witcher 3. 34 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:40,080 in terms of performance vega 64 and a 1080 ti were competitive with one 35 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,800 another in some titles especially Linux titles Linux optimized titles natively 36 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,840 at the beginning of the year but NVIDIA driver updates and things like that have 37 00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,959 led to other optimizations so it's leapfrog again and freesync is not quite 38 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,640 ready yet in the newer Linux kernels from AMD so that's still a little bit of 39 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,920 a problem with the very very bleeding edge kernels but the situation's really 40 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:04,400 changed and improved okay so 41 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:07,280 i have at it i'm i'm gonna let you drive because you're running an AMD graphics 42 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,720 card we're gonna update the Linux kernel to something a little newer than what 43 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,760 ubuntu supports by default now if you're running an NVIDIA graphics card you wouldn't need to do this but you would 44 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,560 definitely need to get the binary driver from NVIDIA in order to you know take 45 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,480 advantage of the latest and greatest uh running your 1080 or 1080 ti or whatever 46 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,920 recent graphics are so we get the ubuntu kernel upgrade utility 47 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,519 basically all we have to do is paste some stuff into the command line so with 48 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,959 the ubuntu kernel update utility installed yeah we can just do uku 49 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,440 and at the time of this video i think 4.7.5 50 00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:44,799 4.17.5 is going to be the most recent version running 17.4 because we were 51 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:50,159 messing around with the system a little bit before but you just hit install 52 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,680 and you'll have to put in the password and this is going to go and get a newer 53 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,200 version of the kernel booting previous kernels blah blah blah 54 00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:02,560 blah blah okay now at this point all we're going to do is reboot and it'll use the newer kernel by default 55 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,920 so by default we've got ubuntu but if we do advanced options we can see that 56 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,080 we've got all of our kernels so we started out on 4.15 and then we got 4.17 57 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,959 yep and now that we're on the newest kernel we need to update the other 58 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,040 the other sort of side of things the kernel gives us the driver but we also need mesa updates and that sort of thing 59 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:25,120 so there's another ppa for that which is an extension to ubuntu so we're gonna do 60 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,120 the same thing and add a repository which will give us mesa mesa and opengl 61 00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:33,680 or sort of the other side of the graphics driver so like you need the bottom half for the hardware and the top 62 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,919 half for the software side of it for games with the ppa installed you can see that 63 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,800 there's a ton of stuff that's going to get updated so this is all stuff that 64 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,040 doesn't really matter for you Intel intelxserver.org 65 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,800 now you wouldn't need to do this if you were just going to run steam games 66 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,880 native steam games sure this is just for wine and dxvk and getting the bleeding 67 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,960 edge out of that so what's this we've got gallium 9 which 68 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,560 i'm not going to install because we we don't really need it per se but i'll 69 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:06,000 mention it because it will let you run directx 9 titles it's older it's not as 70 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,680 supported there are other options but this is the options that you have for 71 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,240 plugging stuff into wine so that you can get more functionality out of wine so we 72 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:19,600 should probably explain what wine is for the uninitiated wine is not an emulator 73 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,880 it's like an emulator but it's not an emulator and see wine stands for wine is 74 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,960 not an emulator see that's the joke and it's terrible 75 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:32,240 wine is a re-implementation of certain Windows apis to make 76 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,320 applications available on Linux and so 77 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,000 you can run a Windows application under Linux and the Windows application thinks 78 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,360 Windows is there but not all of Windows is there you know sometimes even Windows 79 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:45,840 owned utilities don't know that it's not Windows and so you can use that to run 80 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,000 some Windows games but not a lot and we've got lutress which will give us 81 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:55,199 runners a script for scripts for running games like the witcher 3. okay so 82 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,759 hopefully y'all have been keeping up if not don't worry we're going to have 83 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,600 links to all of these sources and also to wendell's forum 84 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,000 down in the video description so the worst is over it actually gets a lot 85 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,080 easier from here so easy that i could do it 86 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,000 definitely really really okay fine 87 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:22,479 okay let's just do this so we've got lutress all ready can you kind 88 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,560 of explain what lutetris does so 89 00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:28,080 it's a lot to ask a user to manage all the different versions of wine and the 90 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,840 command line bs and i would agree that's not really the best user experience 91 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,880 right people have written scripts to make it easier because when you think 92 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,120 about the witcher 3 you can't just run the witcher 3 because 93 00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:42,080 you probably also need steam and so but it's not the Linux version of steam you 94 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:46,800 need the Windows version of steam so that has to run underwine or some kind 95 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,560 of emulation layer as well so lutrus gives you a script you just hit an 96 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,360 install button on the webpage and some person has gone through the hell of 97 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,440 developing that before you hit install 98 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,960 was that a lewd scene oh never mind i thought that was a 99 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,120 raised rump okay you know what let's just 100 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,919 okay so continue install 101 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,199 this is so easy i can do it here we go so 102 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:19,039 our steam account is logging in and there it is and this is the Windows 103 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:22,240 version of steam Windows steam the only thing that doesn't work under wine is 104 00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:25,199 the copy protection now witcher 3 works fine with copy protection right but 105 00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:29,520 that's not true of every title like far cry 5 interesting 106 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,960 there it is okay witcher 3 wild hunt so i just click play let's hope 107 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,960 can i get a can i get a finger cross 108 00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:42,400 hey there are a couple of bugs here and 109 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,580 there in the game but it's it's pretty much okay 110 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,960 it's rendering you know if i would have told you a year 111 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,680 ago that we could have real-time directx translation to vulcan you'd probably call me a crazy person hey why can't i 112 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:59,599 just go into the menu in the middle of a cutscene new modern game developers like holy 113 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,800 what's happened with games is that they've made far more 114 00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:07,759 assumptions about the amount of [ __ ] time that i have like if my baby starts 115 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,280 crying i don't want to miss the cutscene i need to be able to pause 116 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:18,080 maybe gaming hasn't changed maybe it's me maybe i have a life so 117 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,240 this is really cool so it's a dp vk or 118 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:24,639 dxv dxvk just think directx to vulcan total game 119 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,400 changer Linux gaming is better than ever but like come on 120 00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:32,640 how many times have we heard no no really really Linux gaming is better 121 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:35,680 than ever that's a fair point i mean if you need something right now and you 122 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,399 just don't want to think about it and you don't want to mess with the libraries you can run a full virtual 123 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:46,000 machine you can run a full Windows virtual machine and do all your gaming 124 00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:47,040 that way can i ulta 4 out of a game 125 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,800 cool it actually closes a lot faster yeah 126 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,800 that's one thing that i've always loved about anything that's not Windows so why 127 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,440 don't you tell us about using a vm if you want to use a vm 128 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:02,560 you will need to pass through a second graphics card okay so do we have one we 129 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,880 do somewhere 130 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,480 so we'll need to shut this down because that's hot plug graphics cards it's not 131 00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:15,040 a thing yet are you sure are you sure i'm not did you watch my 132 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,839 video no i didn't total madness there it is 133 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,000 there it is it's a thing if you've got it's a thing 134 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,120 no it's a thing it's finally becoming a thing because 135 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:29,040 laptop users need it not the enterprise which is funny oh we should probably get 136 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,800 the other monitor AMD and NVIDIA in the same system this is heresy 137 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:38,000 sorry you want the other one i'll grab it so then this is not that dissimilar to 138 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,519 what i've set up before with unraid so this is just red hat kvm yep running in 139 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,440 ubuntu yep and then we've got an extra SSD for Windows an extra graphics card 140 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:51,760 to pass through yup and an extra keyboard and mouse because 141 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:54,000 why not because why not okay so 142 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,160 what do we do we just boot up the virtual machine damn 143 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,240 the configuration we just set it up we do the i o mmu groups for pass through 144 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:06,000 and we tell it the graphics card we go into usb devices and find a keyboard and 145 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:12,080 mouse and map them and then we just let the machine boot up so this is it this 146 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:14,640 is just the full fat Windows experience 147 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:18,399 now overhead wise from what i've seen in the past we're looking 148 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:23,760 at anywhere from as little as two or three percent to as much as you know 10 149 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,880 or more in terms of a performance hit but 150 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,720 any is there anything else i should be aware of about running it this way it 151 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:35,120 shows up as an AMD epic processor just because 152 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,360 there is a performance in some scenarios but mostly it's okay some things are faster like super position 153 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,720 interesting now you got the NVIDIA drivers installed 154 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:49,120 uh in spite of the infamous code 43 error code 43 is a thing that shows up 155 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,800 when NVIDIA and video drivers detect they're running as a virtual machine so 156 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,160 you have to set a configuration option in the in the virtual machine on the 157 00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,560 Linux side of things to hide the fact that the machine's virtualized and then code 43 goes away 158 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:05,200 right which is kind of annoying and silly right because they just want you to buy 159 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,600 a quadro or better right now it's also kind of annoying and silly 160 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:13,680 that this monitor that you could use for things other than gaming not on Windows 161 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:17,920 on Linux but you know it's not super convenient 162 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,079 so there's also looking glass one of our 163 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,959 forum members jeff at host vision he's put a lot of work into it i've put a lot 164 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,519 of work into it i think you may need to go run it 165 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,360 okay okay oh cool look at that how's the 166 00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:34,000 latency oh not bad yeah this is a direct memory to memory 167 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:37,600 copy uh using the directx capture API so the same capture that you get so even 168 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:41,240 just then it was actually faster than your native monitor to handle the mode 169 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,880 switch interesting 170 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:49,040 and so this way you could run your Windows 171 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:54,480 vm with full hardware acceleration but as fast as we can copy the frames from 172
