Gaming with Wayland with NVidia 550 and 555 drivers
  • Kubuntu is fine. But for gaming, having old packages is very good for stability, but bad for gaming. In the latter use case, having access to the latest drivers and compositors, will grant you a better gaming experience.

    A humble question: have you considered switching to another distro with newer packages?

  • Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam
  • It's a controller with Xbox layout and DualSense features. If you look at Valve's latest news, Xbox controllers are the most common on PC. So, I guess they want to sell these to those users maybe? Butit doesn't have hapticfeedback, that's a bit disappointing.

    Personally, I won't buy anything without trackpads. I want a true Steam Controller 2, the first needed an additional stick and a proper dpad.

  • Chromium has had experimental support for Wayland for some time, and is moving towards stabilizing it. Let's take a look at how we got to where we are now, and at what's still missing before it can be stabilized.

    Gaming PCs and components look set to jump in price in the US as import tariff exclusions come to an end
  • You must be young. These things happened before and it will happen again. You see, PC Gaming cannot be killed, because it belongs to everyone. We will endure. If anything, it will hit harder on console shortages or lack of demand.

    When smartphones hit their peak, there was a big memory shortage, this ended up affecting the PS5 launch as well as PC RAM sticks and GPUs.

    When Microsoft tried to enforce the Windows Store during the Windows 8 lifecycle, Valve responded by creating the first iteration of Steam OS, they launched their initiative and failed. But MS took note and stopped trying to force the store on Windows 8. Valve distrusted MS, so they kept investing in Steam OS so that it could become what it is today.

    When 3DFX GPUs were expensive, people favored consoles for one generation, but that passed too and PC gamers came back in droves.

    You see, Playstation can go bankrupt and never make a console again, as it happened with SEGA, NEOGEO, ATARI, and more. Maybe it will happen to XBOX consoles in the future. But PC Gaming is the sum of a multitude of companies which cannot close shop simultaneously.

    Will it hit us? Sure. But we will endure.

  • Is there a comparison table between HoloISO, ChimeraOS, Bazzite?

    If not, would anyone help me build one ?

    I was thinking of using git and markdown or google sheets.

    Apart from ovbious features, it would need to compare TDP control, and benchmarks.

    UPDATE: First version is up, and open to issues & PRs. Please contribute! Link https://github.com/berserkwarwolf/SteamOS-alternatives-overview

    > Update: DXVK-NVAPI 0.7 was also released just now with NVIDIA Reflex for D3D12 support using the VKD3D-Proton entry points. There is also support for Latencyflex on non-NVIDIA GPUs for a few games via spoofing the Pascal architecture for non-NVIDIA GPUs. Plus various other updates and improvements.

    Any KDE Plasma themes that have more padding like GNOME?

    I moved to KDE for better gaming support, but I really dislike the condensed look of everything in the settings app, discover, and most of all in Dolphin.

    Are there any discrete, simple, clean themes that have more padding ? I like how GNOME looks but I really dislike their slow development for gaming related stuff.

    FOSS keyboard: Simple Keyboard by RKKR, swipe typing and AOSP looks.

    Anyone tried this? Works perfectly for me. Any reason why I should go back to the OpenBoard fork with Swipe?

    On Bottles with the default runner I always had the mouse focus glitch. On Steam Proton Experimental it works great! If you play on BNet, I suggest you switch to Steam.

    The road to Nitrux 2.0 — Bring the big guns, VMetal + improvements to znx
    medium.com The road to Nitrux 2.0 — Bring the big guns, VMetal + improvements to znx

    Earlier this year we talked about what was coming for Nitrux for 2019, and we mentioned that some of our plans had to do with gaming…

    I didn't want to editorialize the title, the linked article is an old post. But with the Nitrux 2.9.1 launch, I wanted to bring a bit of light into how VMetal works.

    Short summary: ---

    > VMetal allows users to run Windows in parallel to Nitrux with the aim to provide users of access to Windows software meanwhile they can still use their Linux desktop at the same time.

    > VMetal is not a wrapper or a compatibility layer; it makes use of QEMU and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) on the software side and of VFIO and IOMMU on the hardware side, meaning that Windows is accessing directly the hardware that it utilizes.

    I've found this project and was wondering if its's safe to use or I'd anyone has had any problems with it.
