What the hell even is this?

Dunno why this is being down voted, obviously they’ll make their own fork and it’ll likely be no different than the regular kernel and they’ll just be constantly rebasing

Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.

Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.

Nah, it’s because $400 for a GPU enclosure is insane, at that rate I can just get the mid-range GPU built in with the regular price of the laptop

I would hardly consider high refresh rate monitors to be exotic. They’re quite common.

I wonder what distros they tried though. Considering this is a thread on Nobara I wouldn’t be surprised if they had issues with the variety of gaming distros available

You mean Web3? Yeah Web3 is going to do jack shit to solve this, if anything it’ll make it worse

Tried this myself, performance differences are non existent. In fact I noticed more regressions on speedometer than improvements.

Don’t bother, use Floorp instead.

My sweet summer child, I will see you in 5 years when Valorant cheating is as bad as CS:GO cheating at its peak.

Kernel AC circumventation will only improve, as there’s many cheaters putting money in this technology. In 5 years this stuff will be commonplace and mean that these solutions will be ineffective.

Are we not intelligent?

Well… there’s an argument to be made there.

Why is this getting down voted? It’s a genuine ask for help :/

Maybe give Lapce a shot, it’s still in it’s infancy, but it’s pretty slick and very responsive.

So THIS is why teams doesn’t work for me on Firefox anymore, Jesus. Welp, I can spoof my user string

It’s really no better on NVIDIA, in fact its much worse since async reprojection likes to break more often on NVIDIA for some reason, VR in general on Linux is atrocious.

VR is atrocious, everything else is amazing, though I think I’m having issues with something related to OBS screen capture causing hitching. Could be a number of things inside or outside of Mesa.

Forcing Adoption of Google’s Tools: Locking in website publishers to its newly-acquired tools by restricting its unique, must-have advertiser demand to its ad exchange, and in turn, conditioning effective real-time access to its ad exchange on the use of its publisher ad server;

More on this is how they’ve treated new web technologies like WebHID. TL;DR is that nobody agreed with Google’s implementation of WebHID but (especially considering it was just “oh hey we wrote some code for it, this is how it should work :)”), since they’re the biggest, went with it anyway and told Mozilla and others to go pound sand. Google has immense influence over what the web actually is, but nobody talks about that.

“The courts hereby decide that Alphabet Inc. will pay a fine of… 1.2 million dollars… Out of the billions of dollars they make every year” :)

You need to enable it in Steam’s settings, under Steam Play

Honestly, this needs to go away, there is never a scenario where Linux gamers only want to play some of their games. There should be instead some pop up window for non proton verified games instead of an obtuse setting.

Is AMD really that much better?

As someone who swapped out their RTX 3060 for an RX 6900 XT, yes, yes it is. Everything. Just. Works. Display sync, high refresh rate, Wayland, Source games (yeah some native source games just won’t play nice on NVIDIA randomly, lmao), driver installation (or lack thereof). It’s just a WAY better experience, especially not having to track down and install NVIDIA’s drivers. Seriously, you don’t realize how much of a convoluted (and frustratingly distro-specific) process it is until you switch to AMD.

NVIDIA will play nice if you put in ALL the work it needs to behave, X11, proprietary drivers, etc. Don’t play by its rules? Then Jensen Huang himself put a pipe bomb under your pillow. If you don’t mind catering your setup to NVIDIA, then you won’t really notice a difference. I mean, in all fairness I now cater my hardware to Linux, buying only AMD/Intel GPUs, so I can’t judge.

Meh, I’ll be honest and say that I’m not impressed by chrome in modern day. While I hate Microsoft, edge is a nicer browser to use than chrome, and that’s saying something
