As much as I despise MS and think they are equally incompetent, I don’t think it’s a good idea to lock down Windows. They will stop providing kernel access to 3rd parties at first, then a few months later you will only be able to download software from the Microsoft Store.
Yes, it’s a security issue but them being allowed to close down their OS sets a dangerous precedent that will make Windows even more shittier and enshittified than it already is.
I tried changing the graphics settings on my mid-range PC and they barely make any difference. You can tune FSR to the max but I don’t think there will be much notable difference in performance.
My only issue with the latest update is that the app doesn’t start minimized by default. Otherwise, I really like the program!
This is something being sold in favor of passkeys but I can’t ser how “more secure” it is for me.
I use Bitwarden, the domain name matching works exactly like passkey’s. How more secure a passkey is, if it has 0 changes to this domain name detection?
Did you use SDL_VIDEODRIVER or SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER? The former one is the old parameter and the latter works. I am using it right now on a Wayland session.
There’s a GitHub issue tracking this bug. It seems like SDL3 was finally released and Valve “forgot” to compile SDL3 with Wayland support.
If you’re using Wayland, you can add a startup parameter to force the game to use X11 and it will work.
This issue is also affecting Dota 2.
+1. Wait until the RX 7700 hits the market, it’s suppised to be in between the 4070 range.
My upgrade was this year from a GTX 970 to a RX 6700 XT.
I use Arch (btw) and the linux-zen kernel, so I use the nvidia-dkms module. It was much simpler, I just installed mesa and the Vulkan drivers, shutdown, installed the new GPU, booted, uninstalled nvidia-dkms.
It was a seamless transition and I had no problems with it.
I have a RX 6700 XT that I got earlier this year. I was imoressed that things just work. Okay, you might be in doubt about which driver to install, but it’s much better and easier than Nvidia.
They kinda already do this. Any .exe you download outside the Microsoft Store requires double confirmation before you can execute it, unless it’s from Microsoft.
