Yeah I was exploring KDE on a Fedora live disc and I guessed that is what automatic vrr was doing. Turning it to always introduced more flicker but still seemed less then gnome.
Ok, so let’s say your tv is a typical 60hz TV, that means it updates 60 times a second, regardless of the games frame rate. A 60fps game will be in perfect sync with your TV, as will 30fps because each frame will just be displayed twice. When your game is running at a frame rate in between it’s not in sync with the display any more and you end up with screen tearing, as the image being sent to the TV changes part way through the image being displayed.
VRR stands for Variable a refresh Rate. It basically means the displays refresh rate can vary to match the source of the image, so that it always stays in sync.
This a pretty good explanation of what VRR is doing. Basically makes it so you can drop frames and it still feels smooth.
Trust me when I say the amount of OLED flicker is much much higher in Gnome then under Windows for the exact same games. Like give you eye strain and a headache super fast. I still see a little flicker under Windows but it's not comparable.
Oh man that looks bad. Hopefully that’s like something going wrong in the beta version because I can’t see them shipping something that looks like that
I am a little disappointed to find out it was just the Mike Tyson fight and not the entire game. Or I was curious to see what ridiculous glitches they needed to use to get to the end in 2 minutes.
People treat it like a mistake but not be able to use the mouse while it’s plugged in is the entire point of the design. Right or wrong the Apple designers thought a cord drag was a bad experience and designed to prevent it.
They probably looked at their target audience and realized there was a certain percentage of folks that would just leave the mouse on the cord 24/7 and wanted to prevent that.
The monopoly position helped for sure but I think it’s glossed over that at one point Internet Explorer was simply the best web browser on the market. It’s was only after years of mismanagement by Microsoft that it gained the reputation it has now. But there was a point in the late 90s early 2000s where Netscape was a super buggy mess and Internet Explorer was the best browser on the market.
That was true for Chrome as well, when that first hit the market it was a light and amazing browser. There were a lot of technology savvy early adopters for Chrome.
Actually on Tumbleweed right now. I've been generally impressed but my suspend broke out of no where and it's the latest in a long line of (mostly) minor things breaking with updates. The upside with how fast the updates are is that usually things are fixed as quickly as they break but suspend has been broken for me for about 3 weeks now.
I honestly just don't think rolling distros are for me. Or at least, not for my use case of chill out during my downtime and play a game PC.
Right now I am pretty frustrated with HDR under Linux. Well frustrated may be the wrong word, but it is the thing right now that gets me to boot into Windows to play games that have HDR.
I am wondering if I would have more luck using the deck variant for HDR because apparently Valve has this figured out before everyone else.
