This might be due to windows hibernation behavior. When you shut down windows 10 and 11, it actually hibernates the drive instead of a full shutdown. You can disable it by turning off “fast startup” option(s). I haven’t had to do it in a while so I can’t recall exactly where the option lives. Hibernated drives get marked to prevent writing to them as it may corrupt the windows install.
I’m on an AMD system, but adding “VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv” to my launch options fixed all the weird stuttering and significant performance issues for me. It disables reBAR while the game is running, which I wouldn’t think would do much, but boy was I surprised when it solved the issues! I’ve also seen some reports on protondb that running the game through game scope might solve your issues on Nvidia hardware.
As others have said, it might be the new steam recording feature being a touch buggy still. You could also try running the game through gamescope. I’ve had that resolve weird stuttering when game frame pacing wasn’t matching up with the refresh rate of the monitor or compositor properly.
Epic generally works fine through Heroic launcher. Though I’ve had some occasional problems with Heroic and in those cases Lutris running the Windows Epic Game Store Launcher solved every time. Steam and Proton are still the easiest plug n play though.
My napkin math says I’m closer to $212~ per day for my household… That’s still WAY higher than I would have expected. And we try to be pretty frugal in some areas. That includes taxes though. Just shelter costs ballparks to $90-ish per day. Start adding in food, transportation costs, communication costs, taxes… It all adds up REALLY fast. Close to $200/day in just bare essentials to exist and operate within the modern world in my area of the US.
I can vouch for Bazzite and always will as long as they keep up the solid work. Running on a laptop (gnome variant for easier fingerprint login) and desktop (KDE, cuz I just prefer KDE day to day). It just works™️.
1000% on the money here. You want encode, decode, calculation, acceleration? They got it. Rock solid, beautiful and simple. You want that shit to actually SHOW UP ON SCREEN? Get the fuck outta here. What do you think nVidia is, a GRAPHICS CARD company!?
Just rock an atomic distro. You choices then become: it boots, OR: the OS is no longer present so I guess it’s not my problem anymore.
Literally just started doing this last week. I did NOT expect it to work so much better than the name-brand app for such a “closed system” as Sonos.
Rehabilitated HP z440 workstation, checking in! Popped in a used $20 e5-2620v4 xeon CPU and 64gb of RAM and it sails for my use cases. TrueNAS as the base OS and a TalOS k8’s cluster in a VM to handle apps. Old but gold.
Oftentimes it’s someone creating and maintaining a piece of software or tooling for themselves and their own benefit. They just happen to be nice and forward thinking enough to share it.
In my experience, Seagate exos are only “loud/clicky” when under HEAVY write loads. Mostly they’re pretty quiet with a very low drone at worst. In any decent case it’ll be pretty negligible. With headphones on doubly so.
Yeah, logging in pulled across everything, as far as I can tell. Subscriptions included!
Grayjay on Android has been working damn near flawlessly for me. No clue if the parent company is to be trusted at this point or not- but I cannot argue with the results.
Absolutely this. Relatively quick and clean, no messing with installation or reconfiguration. That is, assuming your data isn’t completely corrupted and the old drive doesn’t just outright fail during transfer… But if that happens you were screwed to begin with.
Dark thick beer can also work in place of cocoa, in my experience.
Compatibility is unlikely to be very different. The key is immutability (easy to update, hard to brick your system) and some baked in nice to haves for gaming like some specific drivers/patches and controller support out of the box.
Cheaper than Spotify for the number of users it gives you (at least where I live) and the app itself has functioned significantly better than Spotify’s has in my experience so far while not depriving me of any of the artists and albums I listen to regularly. Early on in its life it was big time selling snake oil, but at this point it’s just a solid alternative to Spotify and YouTube music which have both, frankly, gotten “too big to fail” and have begun enshittification because of it. Man we need more competition…
Just tracking trended data in general would be sufficient to defeat a LARGE number of common cheats. One of the very few use cases “AI” might actually work for in a positive way. But that puts the burden on the developers and server hosters, and it’s much easier to just burden the players directly instead.
The answer is toolbox or similar container systems. It runs a sandboxed version of another OS inside your Bazzite install with minimal performance overhead. Not quite the same thing as virtualization, but thinking in those terms can be helpful for those new to the concept. It won’t let you run and install everything, but it sure will handle a lot!
