  • prezto

  • Is the command line really so scary? I enjoy using it from time-to-time (usually not for gaming related reasons) and I like things like Prezto to make it look pretty.

  • There's a catch tho that I didn't know at the time: gamescope in order to run needs Vulkan and when I installed Linux on my laptop at the time I only added Vulkan support for the NVIDIA dGPU, since that's the only card I use for games. I didn't have Vulkan drivers for the AMD iGPU, so every time I tried to launch gamescope no window would appear because it would default to the dGPU, which was the only one that could support Vulkan but had no access to the screen, but I could hear sound. In order to fix this I had to install the following packages that add Vulkan support to AMD GPUs vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon and reboot the machine. Keep in mind that these are the packages on Arch and I don't know what they are called on other distributions, but you can use this guide for reference.
