This should allow nouveau to reclock NVIDIA 2xxx and newer GPUs. Huge step forward for open source NVIDIA drovers and I've been testing this on my laptop for a few weeks now woth the rc kernels and the NVK driver and it's pretty impressive so far.
RGB software is such garbage. Aura sucks, Synapse sucks, iCue sucks, Polychrome really really really sucks, RGB Fusion sucks, they're all bloated garbage designed to lock you into an ecosystem and produced by the lowest tier of programmers around apparently as they are unstable and usually incredibly bloated messes.
This nonsense is why I started working on what eventually became OpenRGB.
It was mlmym but then mlmym.org shut down. Too bad lemmy.ml doesn't run it under the old.lemmy.ml like some other instances do. I don't want to move instances and lose my history to get it back and I don't want to trust random third party ones. Maybe I should self host it at some point.
If that were true then none of this would be news. The CentOS Stream code is available to the public on git, but not the RHEL code. If the RHEL code was available to the public the outrage would have no reason to exist.
Even if paying customers have access to the RHEL code via git, they are forbidden from redistributing it (which is allowed by the FOSS licenses that code is under) or else the customers lose their license. This does not qualify as the code being available in my opinion, and in the opinion of the vast majority of the FOSS community.
Saying everything is fine and dandy in the RHEL world is FUD.
The project maintainers repeatedly forget to renew their certificates, causing package upgrades to fail.
The project maintainers, in multiple past instances, have misconfigured their package manager resulting in essentially a DDoS of the AUR.
The packages are out of date vs. the upstream Arch ones, which often causes AUR packages intended for upstream Arch to break on Manjaro. Yet they consider the AUR a supported resource.
Project has had problems with mismanagement of funds in the past.
Despite all this, they seem to heavily focus on marketing, merch, and trying to sell preinstalled systems. Manjaro is in it for profit, not to make an awesome distro.
Ubuntu - It was my first distro and I loved it for many years after 6.06. However, it slowly shifted from a very community focused distro ("Linux for human beings" was the original slogan) to a very corporate distro with lots of in-house bullshit, CLAs, and partially-closed projects that seems to focus on profit and business over actual human beings. I correlate this move to around the time when it became purple rather than brown. Snap sucks, Mir sucks, Unity sucks, integrating Amazon and music store paid bullshit sucks. Just no. Move to Debian.
Manjaro - It's Arch, but with incompetence!
Red Hat - Do you enjoy paying licensing fees for a Linux distro that very likely violates the open source licenses it uses? RHEL is for you! Just remember not to share the code! Sharing is most certainly NOT caring!
The Deck can output up to 4K 60Hz with the right dock, so the picture quality is not going to be limited by the supported resolution of the Deck. What will limit the picture quality is that SteamOS by default runs games at 1280x800 or 1280x720 for 16:9 external screens, regardless of the actual selected resolution. It will upscale games rendered at 720p to whatever the actual output resolution (1080p or 4K) is. There is an option in the per-game settings in the SteamOS UI to set the resolution for each game. If you pick Native, it will allow the game to render up to the screen's native resolution for a full-quality image, no different than you would get on a normal PC. However, the Steam Deck's GPU isn't very powerful compared to a desktop PC so you aren't going to be able to push most games that high. A lot of older titles and 2D games can run fine at native 1080p on the Deck though.
Also, publishing on F Droid is free while publishing on Play Store requires a developer account which costs money. Charging for the Play Store version makes sense if the dev even wants to offer it on a paid storefront. The free and FOSS option is free so I'm happy with that. I dislike when ALL options to acquire binaries of a FOSS app are paid but charging for the version on the pay2play store is understandable.
I like the moon in the background and I like that it is stylistically similar to the Firefox icon. My only complaint is the eye, not really a fan of the swoosh effect on the eye.
Linux supports more controllers out of the box than Windows in my experience. For example, the original Xbox controllers with an adapter cable to give them a normal USB-A connector work great in Linux but require third party drivers in Windows.
Hacker's Keyboard on Android and I created a custom Squeekboard layout for my Linux phone.
