Is KDE neon 5.19 the best KDE Linux distro out there? Is KDE neon even a Linux distro at all? This episode is as close to "Desktop Delves" as it gets!
Distro Delves is a series where I try out various Linux Distros (or other OSes) and give my thoughts about them at the end of the episode.
Episodes aren't meant to be comprehensive; they are short informational & opinionated reviews from a desktop user's perspective! Learn more about the series here - https://distrodelves.io/faq

Heya Hobbyists! Here's my first official series on Conan Exiles. I'm playing solo in the highlands area because it's a bit more interesting than the drab desert biome.
Conan Exiles is one of my favorite games. I enjoy it and the world of Conan the Barbarian that I created a new character in his likeness!
This is the first gaming video series I've made with Hobby Linux. Runs pretty darn well I'd say!

If you thought the latest Mesa version magically offered better performance - you are wrong.
The funny thing is that I filmed most of this footage prior to my previous video pitting Mesa 12.0.6 against AMDGPU-Pro 17.10 but you guys made such a big deal about the fact I was using "old" drivers, I decided change the scope of the video.
You shouldn't be surprised by the findings in this video. They largely match what Michael over at Phoronix found in his benchmark - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mesa-171git-rx470
Assuming that the latest display drivers, especially the latest *development* drivers, will offer better performance over stable drivers is a myth. Never risk system stability over possible performance boosts. Its just not worth it.

What is Bodhi Linux? What is the Moksha Desktop? Is it based on Enlightenment Desktop? How is resource consumption?

Installing a different desktop environment on SteamOS is pretty easy, you'll just need to reset the "auto-login" setting.
You may have noticed a user named "egee". Creating and setting up a user is a bit more advanced and I might cover it in another video. For pretty much every basic user task, using the default "desktop" user works just fine.
If you're still using SteamOS Alchemist, these steps *should* be the exact same. I did this how-to using Brewmaster.

Finally made it to the first boss (not Nolok yet) and beat him after a couple tries. This is SuperTux 2 installed from Flathub.

Installing and testing out the AMDGPU-Pro drivers for my new ASUS ROG Strix RX460.
Things started out pretty bad when Mesa & the normal AMDGPU driver was unable to identify the new GPU. It almost seemed like the GPU was DOA.
One thing I don't understand is why the AMDGPU-Pro drivers require users to go to the AMD website, download it, and install it by hand. Why on earth isn't it at least a deb file? It really should be in the semi-official graphics drivers PPA. For example, I couldn't ask a non-technical user to install these drivers.
Amazingly enough, the GPU pulled through and I was able to get the display drivers installed. I did notice that the Catalyst/Crimson control center was missing. Hopefully, AMD will fork the Windows version and make some sort of GUI tool available for Linux.
I tested a few games. Rust & Ballistic Overkill are native Linux games, Skyrim is a Windows game via Wine, and Paladins is a Windows game via VMware.
Overall I am somewhat disappointed with the performance:
Rust showed a fair amount of stuttering that you can see in the video. Stuttering like that will get you killed in a firefight.
The performance on Skyrim was quite low. Watching back the video, I'd say I averaged about 20 frames per second, which is totally unacceptable.
Paladins were surprisingly OK despite the graphical glitches, however, I would have liked to see better performance.
