Gamescope (what steamos/bazzite ect use for their big picture mode) and Nvidia proprietary/open drivers is a bad combination, while nouveau has shit performance at the moment. Stop asking and start testing.

Is the shared memory just the Wine staging shared memory patch but in stable now?

Re-listened to this album last night, such a good album (Rising is still their best IMO).

Wonder if the 9070s were also affected.

Polygon is not dead
Well that's disappointing.

Buying their game and gifting 10 copies of it now.

Run amdgpu_top for the full nitty-gritty breakdown of just about every sensor on the card.

Incredibly sad state of graphics when people say upscaling looks better than the raw image your GPU was supposed to be displaying.

people under 18 will just jerk off to the girls instead of spending money on the game

Just about anything from 6th gen consoles or earlier.

Make sure you don't hit your wife with it.

Force the new xe driver (if it's not already the default) and it's better, but you'll want to run bleeding edge mesa and kernels for the best experience.

I heard their coolers are great, but I could never find them on any online retailer in my area, and importing has its own massive shipping fees.

Not even worth it when Capcom does not give a fuck and had to get GOG to do this release for them. Play the PS1 version with the uncensor patch and working identify ability patch.

free performance for just changing from arch's repos to cachy's? im thinking based.

v3 and v4 optimized packages are a big improvement over default arch

On the flip-side, every game worth playing uses 2GB vram or less at 1080p.

The only shader mod you'd want for a vanilla playthrough is Shaders Max since it looks like vanilla and makes the shadows work properly on widescreen resolutions without messing around with console commands.

'Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League' Character Artist Confirms Industry Bias Against Attractive Female Characters

'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League' character artist Del Walker has confirmed one of the Western video game industry's worst habits.

Looks like the 'uglification' of female characters is real.

Steam DLC unlocker SmokeAPI is now being blocked by Valve and could result in a VAC ban or locked account.


Looks like CreamAPI is not affected. Looks like a Paradox games fan's worst nightmare.

Valve's custom kernel patches for SteamOS' kernel; how many are up-streamed into the mainline kernel already?
Title says all, is it possible to use a mainline kernel on a non-SteamOS install or do you have to use Valve's kernel they ship with SteamOS 3.x? Is it possible to find all the the patches they use and compile a kernel yourself?

Self hosted syncthing relay with keepass, how secure is it?
I already have my keepassxc and syncthing setup on my phone and computers and it's great, I'd like to go a step further and have my password database sync when I'm not on my home network. From my understanding I can use relays set up by other users and they are encrypted, but if I do not trust syncing personal (encrypted) data to someone else's server how easy is it to set up a relay that only I use? I won't be using Bitwarden because in theory if I can pull this off I can also use syncthing to sync other files as well. Is setting up a personal relay a lot of work or a potential security risk for my home network?

Incorrect icons in network configuration?


Title, my network configuration in the taskbar is using the incorrect icons for incoming and outgoing data sent. Am I missing a font (I would love to know the name of the proper font/icon set that is used) or is my desktop not configured correctly? Using 5.27.10 on Arch.

ISP provided modem/router combo does not have firewall option?
My ISP provided modem/router combo (Home Hub 3000 from Bell Canada) does not have a firewall setting, is this an issue for all of the devices on my network? Or is the router doing some packet filtering or something along those lines without me knowing? If anyone has this or any other Bell modem/router and is knowledgeable about the topic that would be greatly appreciated.

Variable refresh rate and Wayland/XWayland questions.
So this has come up may times but I can't seem to get concrete answers for some of these questions. What is the status of variable refresh rate on Wayland and XWayland, what software versions do you need? To my knowledge VRR works on Wayland (I know it works on X with 1 monitor/multi-head setup but that is out of the scope of this) KDE that's version 5.27, and need a relatively new mesa version, I run the git releases and not stable. There is also the Atomic KMS update mumbo jumbo that I don't understand at all for Kernel 6.6. Basically will VRR work with the following setup, my monitor does have Freesync but has no on-screen notification that show's that it is enabled.
- The game is running in full screen
- AMDGPU (RDNA2)
- Display port connection
- Kernel 6.5
- Mesa git compiled as of October 9th 2023
- KDE 5.27
- Wayland 1.22
Will VRR work for only native Wayland games (do any exist? do latest releases of emulators have a Wayland mode) and will it work on XWayland programs (
