By the time I’m about to fall asleep I have to piss again.

I’ve been having a blast but the learning curve for the controls/menuing is mount everest.

I needed Windows the other day and it wouldn’t even let me change the volume without activating it.

When you do a compatibility report on ProtonDB you attach your specs including distro, so yeah this will be biased towards tinkerers. However, HW survey tells a similar story:

I haven’t used it myself but if I had to I’d probably give Helium a try it looks promising.

Enter, Zwieback.

Pretty sure it uses memory compression, Linux equivalent would be zram. Due to the speed and compression ratio of modern compression algorithms like zstd you can usually get double your RAM capacity in fast low latency on-memory swap. Not sure what macOS uses specifically but the compute is easily there.

I don’t think this is a gotcha - yes the problem is in their head but it’s not like it manifested there by magic. It’s just another way social media makes us think we have to be perfect at everything for it to be worth showing to the world. Influencers try to simultaneously be relatable but also impossibly perfect, warping your view.

CrossCode (Germany), charming 2D Action RPG where you play a virtual MMO.

A ball of yarn and needles.

I’m so for liberation even my goodbyes are Irish.

Welcome!

Can you elaborate on the input latency part? It shouldn’t really add any since it’s just isolation.

This also applies to the results on Duckduckgo so I assume this affects a lot of people here.

I like to think of it as the “hyperactive” part being my brain.

Can’t wait to run Wine 11 on Linux 7.

An eon ago they made a PC building guide that was riddled with mistakes and had to pull it down again and I think that’s still where most of that comes from.

As an early PCVR adopter I’ll never forget how he created hardware exclusivity in an already tiny new market, immediately stunting it and causing fragmentation.

I’m using a QD-OLED monitor and love HDR for movies or tv shows but with gaming I have several gripes that don’t make me enjoy HDR as much, funnily none of them caused by Linux.

A lot of games suffer from pretty terrible HDR implementations so it might just end up looking worse than SDR. Additionally, at least on this display tech, HDR is a trade-off between stable brightness (TrueBlack mode) or peak brightness (Peak mode). I find TB mode to not really pop enough to justify HDR, but peak mode to be too distracting for gaming since turning your camera can quickly change the overall brightness and make the image flicker.

I would say in theory HDR could be a huge increase in immersion for gaming but the tech and execution isn’t really there for me yet.

HDR support on Linux though I find is in a pretty good spot if you’re not opposed to setting a few env variables.
