  • Ease of setup, difficult to break, and most of the things that the atomic setup makes otherwise difficult are trivially easy to workaround with Distrobox.

  • Alternatively, use a different alias so it doesn't override the original. "la" and just "l" are pretty common

  • If something's marked unsupported I just double check ProtonDB before I buy it

  • I'm not reading it as them being mad about things that are both KDE and Wayland related at the same time, but rather mad about things related to at least one or the other.

    Dumb post though.

  • As long as people more competent get control of the longer lived franchises.

  • DXVK really works around a ton of issues and oddities in older games that Windows and gpu manufactures barely, if ever, fixed.

    And all because Valve hired/pays the guy who started it as an attempt to play Nier Automata on Linux (which itself is a fairly janky port)

  • NGL that block pattern thing is something I never really noticed but it makes a lot of sense. The messy way to do it in C++ would be with a lambda that you then just evaluate, but being about to avoid that and instead using standard scoping syntax for the same thing neat. I'm pretty sure I've even done this before without even thinking about it.

    And if you put all of the definitions you need right at the top it's super easy to split out into a function if/when you need it elsewhere

  • The only thing I dislike about it, having seen the in-store demos, is the fringing on text and hard edges. It can looks like chromatic abberation in very contrasty games. The OLED subpixel layout just isn't quite ideal, especially at 1280x800 7.4".

    The LCD version has less issues there. Less gaps between the pixels and a standard RGB vertical strip layout.

  • I always, always have the urge to update my image and flatpaks even when I have zero reason to. And if I have nothing productive to do anyways, why not lol.

    On Windows I always delay big updates by, at minimum, a week. I don't trust them.

  • Wait, that's how Nvidia default gets around the VRAM eviction lockup? They just lose most of it? Lmfao. Other drivers just evict VRAM to ram/swap, so long as you have enough swap you're good.

  • Hold up, I can trigger a trauma response:

    Incorrect. The correct answer is:

  • Wii U cannot dump GameCube games sadly. I wish it worked too

  • Last time I tried to use Arch for gaming I ran into constant issues like what you describe. Almost like it wasn't using the correct graphics drivers for the games even though I could verify it was. I never could quite figure it out.

    If you're not against distro hopping, I suggest switching to Bazzite or Nobara. Plain old Fedora is usually fine too if you're not using an Nvidia GPU or don't mind futzing around with RPMFusion, but the extra utilities and tweaks provided in Nobara and Bazzite are really nice.

  • That driver tends to work decently, but the performance on windows can be a bit iffy, especially for games like Skyrim because of how the content archives work iirc.

    I also ran into a bug where one specific program (Aseprite) wouldn't save files correctly on winbtrfs and instead padded them with zeroes to a full 4KB or whatever, which didn't happen on any other filesystem.

    WinBTRFS is cool, but treat it as somewhat experimental just in case. Back your stuff up.

  • I'm so sad that he never went anywhere else with this himself, at least publically. Looks like there's at least one team in Norway trying to take this concept to market though, hopefully they're successful

  • "we chose the name because of..."

    Nah they just wanted an excuse to not use UWU, since this was originally Universal Wine Launcher iirc

  • I wouldn't call it a japanese accent, that's a bit different, but ルール is the loan word for rule, approximated with japanese syllabary of course. So it's ru-ru instead of rool. The r is also kinda rolled like a Spanish R, between and R and L sounds.

    A japanese accent tends to have awkward stress-accent as well as R and L sounding too similar if not identical, and some general phonemes just not sounding quite right since japanese doesn't have them (the ae sound for instance). Words that end in consonants can be tricky too, but japanese has a few in very casual speech (mostly by just leaving off the u in tsu) so that concept isn't so foreign.
