@schwim
As far I read on internet and benchnatks, If you have a working , the average performance between Windows and (proton) is equal. That means also, there cases where a Windows Games performs beter on a Linux with proton.
I assume the cause is also that some gamedeveloper enhance a game for steam deck also.
I propose to retest your case again.

We’ve talked about not finishing books, which I have no problem doing. There are some books, that I know I will give another shot at some point. This is one such book. I’m thinking I stopped b/c something else grabbed my attention or was more pressing (ie. library book, etc-which is actually a poor excuse b/c I always have library books in).

  1. Has anyone read this?
  2. Do you have a book you DNF, but came back to later on?

I have been sometimes way too attracted by my own villains because in a way they seem to hold the secret to the heart of the narrative.

I read and really enjoyed Chasing the Boogeyman last year, so when the second book was in from the library, I jumped on it!

Cozy mysteries?

I’ve read & enjoyed Still Life by Louise Penny, does that count? I recently found this book, The Thursday Murder Club & it was called a ‘cozy mystery.’ Do you all have any recommendations, do you like this genre or am I’m just 100 years old?

Lots of rain.
Not a lot of skiing.
Lots of reading.
This may be my final book of 2923.

Another favorite book that works quite nicely for Creep-tober reads is We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. A large part of this is written in letters by Eva Khatchadourian to her ex-husband about their son Kevin. This story is a psychological powerhouse & is incredibly thought-provoking. It is also disturbing,(that’s the closest thing to a warning you’ll get from me) but life is often disturbing, so just read it.

& maybe pair it with a very dark red wine that you will sip s l o w l y 🍷

As a bonus, the movie of the same name is superb & Tilda Swinton as Eva, is impeccable.

I bought a half dozen books from Thriftbooks and inside one of them I found this. Books and wine, like peanut butter and jelly.

4 of us met last night for dinner, drinks, & discussion about Demon Copperhead. 3/4 loved it, one thought it too depressing to finish. I thought it was incredible & easily gave it 5 stars.

Next up for book club: Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz.

zbecker , to linux_gaming in What are your thoughts on the state of native Linux games?
@zbecker@mastodon.zbecker.cc avatar

@toallpointswest @Hextic @atmur

A good well supported native port will always be better than or .

If you don't believe me just compare with a game like in the late game.

This is a bit of a cherry picked example, however, as resource usage for a game like that matters a lot more in late game.
