Recently, I built a Bazzite PC using a BC250 mining board and LEGO.

Originally, I built it as a Batocera emulation machine, but the performance wasn’t as good as I expected. So I switched to Bazzite, did some overclocking and undervolting, and installed RetroDECK.

The system is modular, so it can be easily attached to or detached from the monitor and keyboard I previously built.

Many people are concerned about thermals, but cooling is actually better than typical 3D-printed cases. I replaced the thermal material with PTM, and placed the board directly in front of two 120mm exhaust fans. The other four 120mm fans push air toward the board and exhaust area, so heat doesn’t linger inside the case. I also used angled LEGO bricks to help guide airflow more efficiently.

For mounting, only a small portion of the board is in contact with the bricks, and those areas are insulated to prevent heat damage, so there’s no risk of the bricks melting.

During a 30-minute stress test, the maximum temperature reached 84°C. In typical mid-to-high-end games, temperatures stay around 60–70°C, and for emulation, around 40°C. I set the fans to ramp up to 100% at 75°C, but outside of stress testing, they’ve never reached full speed.

As for durability, the structure is very solid thanks to the large number of bricks used. Even with over 10kg of monitor and keyboard on top, it holds everything securely.

I usually play on consoles, but I ended up building a Linux gaming PC—and after using it, I’m really impressed with how feature-rich and capable Bazzite is.

Thanks for checking it out, and feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

So I remember trying Midnight Club LA using RPCS3 on windows a couple of years back and I remember it giving 30-45 fps. My rig was fairly similar at that time. I then tried RPCS3 on Mint a couple of months back and it gave me about 15 fps, regardless of settings or tweaks.

My question is, is there a huge difference in the stage of development/general performance of RPCS3's windows version versus its linux one, the same way it works with Xenia?

(For context: Xenia's native linux version is broken and unusable but the windows version works well on linux using proton).

If there's anyone here using RPCS3 on linux in general, please share your experience.

SPECS:
R7 5700X3D
4X8GB DDR4 3200mhz CL16
RX 6700 XT 12GB (and more recently 9060 XT 8GB)
1TB NVME
2TB 7200RPM HDD

I am on Linux Mint using GE-Proton (10-25). The game launches, but the window doesn’t show properly it stays hidden in the panel sometimes it opens and connects other times shows a black screen with audio. Sometimes it appears, but breaks again if I alt-tab or switch apps. It has also crashed several times "steam something something has stopped responding". It has ran for 3hr but it is giving me problems.

So I have Tomb Raider I-III Remastered through GOG (thank you Amazon Prime), but when I went to launch it yesterday, it would crash under Wine, and only used about 1/4 of the screen space when I launched it with Proton-GE.

Anyone else encounter this, and does anyone have any advice? I’m running Nobara 43, for what that’s worth.

I have tried everything under the digital sun possible to get this stupid mod working i tried editing the scripts editing the files moving the files transfering, lua backend , lua frontend, openkh ALL OF THEM AND NONE ARE WORKING!!!

With doing everything it either downloads/extracts into infinity or doesnt install at all and im still stuck at the same point of KH1 CritMixPlus not loading the difficulty settings and crashing

What can i possibly do to get this mod fully working i have wasted hours every page i visit keeps not explaining or giving me contradictory answers like "outdate" or "only work with X and Y" Should i just give up at this point and assume i can never play this mod on steam deck?

I want to make the switch to Linux (Specifically CachyOS). I know that Steam has Proton which should make my non Linux games compatible. I have a couple games that are big and I don't want to have to redownload (The Finals, SW Battlefront II, Satisfactory, SW Jedi Fallen Order). Would it work to transfer the files onto the new system or do I need to redownload them to get them to launch properly?
