This happened to me when playing Hades a few years ago, choosing DirectX was faster and more stable than Vulkan when using Proton.

CarlosCheddar ,

It definitely works if you are willing to tinker but we are a low priority and anything that breaks takes a long time to fix. There’s even another project called Envision which runs better than SteamVR but isn’t as easy to use yet.

CarlosCheddar ,

You could get any headset and attach a modmic to it, it opens up a lot more options.

CarlosCheddar ,

I moved my Desktop to Linux when the Steam Deck was announced. Before that I had no idea that Linux was able to play almost any game using Proton.

So I think the Steam Deck has also boosted Desktop numbers.

CarlosCheddar ,

Check out Envision which uses Monado to replace SteamVR. It’s a lot smoother for me but requires some extra setup.

CarlosCheddar ,

Glad to hear! You can add on top of that github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s to be able to control your desktop among other things.

CarlosCheddar ,

Yeah that’s the one it’s quite easy to set up and test. I haven’t had any issues like that so definitely give it a shot.

CarlosCheddar ,

What can we do to help?

CarlosCheddar ,

How come sysreq + f is not on by default? After discovering and enabling it I haven’t had to hard restart due to hangs or crashes.

CarlosCheddar ,

Lutris has a toggle for this so you could check what that calls and add it to your launch script.

CarlosCheddar ,

I did a quick test with the latest Proton when it came out and everything look fine.

CarlosCheddar ,

I was having issues with Jedi Survivor and Steam Input apparently due to the latest EA launcher. Turning the controller on after the game loaded fixed the issue for me.

CarlosCheddar ,

It ended up being a bad call but at the time Android only had 2 years in the market and trusting the leading OS company to manufacture a proper mobile product wasn’t a crazy idea. Microsoft just completely mismanaged the whole phone thing and took down Nokia with it.

If I remember correctly the approach was so anti-google that you couldn’t even watch youtube on Windows Phones.

CarlosCheddar ,

My friends can finally see and see my streams with this update. Before it was a choppy mess.

CarlosCheddar ,

Also a Sunshine user and it works pretty well. For gaming the most seamless experience is Steam Play though but sadly it’s not as good as Sunshine.

CarlosCheddar ,

We’ll have to wait and see if they get away with it. I may be OK paying more if I already had my mind set on going and didn’t know about the price hike but if the experience is not worth it I won’t visit again.

Went to Epcot in November 2022 and it was the time when I paid the most and the park looked like a husk of its former self. Now I will actively avoid the parks for the foreseeable future.

CarlosCheddar ,

I wonder if this is why my monitor’s brightness was acting up and dimming by itself. I just thought it was time to upgrade the monitor. Haven’t seen the issue in a few days so maybe it’s fixed.

CarlosCheddar ,

I remember setting up a TeamSpeak server back in 2012 before Discord took over. Worked for us at the time.

CarlosCheddar ,

Not a car guy but I found that video quite entertaining. The Miata designer needs his own Youtube channel.

What do you use for key rebinding in games?

I’ve just switched over from Windows to Linux for my daily driver in the last few weeks, and after the initial learning curves everything seems pretty solid. The only thing I really, really need for some games is the ability to rebind keys that the game itself doesn’t allow. Examples would be Orcs Must Die 1 (no rebinding at...

CarlosCheddar ,

I mostly play with the Steam Controller so I rely on Steam Input which works quite well but only if you’re playing on Steam.

CarlosCheddar ,

EndeavorOS with KDE is basically steamOS without restrictions. I’ve been running it fine for years.

CarlosCheddar ,

I wonder what they fixed for Helldivers 2. All the bugs I’ve experienced happen to Windows users too.

CarlosCheddar ,

There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 – only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

CarlosCheddar ,

I actually had to switch to Wayland to be able to stream with audio on Discord.

CarlosCheddar ,

I switched to Wayland to get discord streaming with audio working but now Steam remote play has issues capturing some windows unless I open Steam with the -pipewire option. Other than these issues with video streaming it’s been almost the same ir better than x11 on my AMD machine.

CarlosCheddar ,

Yes as far as I know you need special clients for now. I’ve been using discord-screenaudio for a year or so and it works on Wayland. Also with the latest update of Webcord I’ve been able to stream with audio but friends are saying that it doesn’t sound as good.

Other than showing the xdg-portal popup when sharing your screen the experience is essentially the same as the Discord app.

CarlosCheddar ,

Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.

CarlosCheddar ,

Yes it is preserved.

CarlosCheddar ,

So the main takeaway is that you no longer need to be offline if 2 family members want to play at the same time as long as they’re playing different games.

That’s fair and it should alleviate a bunch of headaches.

CarlosCheddar ,

We need a SeniorProgrammerHumor community. Less jokes about quitting vim and programming languages and more about every day funny issues.

CarlosCheddar ,

I really hope Ron Burgundy from the channel 4 news team covers this.

CarlosCheddar ,

Well, that killed my weekend project!

AMD GPUs are cursed for me

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I...

CarlosCheddar ,

On EndeavorOS I haven’t had issues with a Vega64 and now with a 6800XT. I followed the AMD Gpu guides from Arch wiki to get everything up and running but that was back when I started the build with the Vega 64. After the upgrade I didn’t even need to touch anything and all non anti-cheat games work quite well. Maybe I got lucky though.

CarlosCheddar ,

I’ve been much happier with my Roborock than my Roomba. It definitely seems smarter.

CarlosCheddar ,

My only issue with Steam Link is that it won’t stream my non-steam games on Linux because it can’t render the Steam overlay. Moonlight allows me to stream any game but I’m not able to use Steam Input since it makes the game think that I have an xbox 360 controller.

CarlosCheddar ,

I was able to do for years too on Windows but after switching to Linux I haven’t been able to get the overlay working for non steam games. It could be that I’m on Wayland or something but so far I haven’t been able to figure it out.

CarlosCheddar ,

In some states getting a license is how you get registered to vote. I wouldn’t be surprised if registration programs were being defunded to prevent younger voters.

Boeing advertises the 737 Max by saying that it works just like the old 737 so you don’t need to retrain your pilots and save money. The issue a few years ago with that is that these planes are not 737 so when some new issue happens the pilots don’t know how to deal.

Apple is now banned from selling its latest Apple Watches in the US (www.theverge.com)

Apple is now banned from selling its latest Apple Watches in the US::Apple can no longer sell the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Watch Series 9 in the US. The International Trade Commission issued an import ban on the devices that took effect on December 26th, 2023.

CarlosCheddar ,

Maybe the sales figures were less than expected and will use this as an excuse to the board.

CarlosCheddar ,

I’ve played most of those games on Linux and they work out of the box on my EndeavorOS setup with AMD. You may be missing some drivers or libraries specific to your setup.

Lutris TLOU on a 7800XT 16GB... Only 8GB VRAM?

So…Yeah, the question in the title. Trying to play Lutris TLOU, and all the settings are maxed out just fine, except for the Textures section, that’s locked out. ANd then checking the Display settings, I can see my VRAM is at 7806MB…which is…inacurate. It should be getting the full 16GB right? What’s going on?

CarlosCheddar ,

How did you figure this out? Is it game specific or is this a common fix?

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"

Money wins, every time. They’re not concerned with accidentally destroying humanity with an out-of-control and dangerous AI who has decided “humans are the problem.” (I mean, that’s a little sci-fi anyway, an AGI couldn’t “infect” the entire internet as it currently exists.)...

CarlosCheddar ,

I’ve only seen a bunch of rumors about the firing but nothing concrete since the board hasn’t given an explanation. So yeah it could be that money wins or it could be something else entirely.

I doubt that Microsoft would’ve hired him if he had strong allegations of wrongdoing.

CarlosCheddar ,

I agree, maybe OpenAI has been bleeding money and the board had no idea until now.

CarlosCheddar ,

I wonder how this correlates to low use of WhatsApp in the US. In South America and Europe WhatsApp is used heavily and looks the same no matter the platform but none of my US friends have WhatsApp so they rely on iMessage instead. None of them want to be seen sending green bubbles in the chat. I’ve even seen this as a side plot in a teen tv show that my wife was watching.

Disney is about to own all of Hulu | Disney’s paying more than $8 billion for Comcast’s stake in Hulu. (www.theverge.com)

Disney is about to own all of Hulu | Disney’s paying more than $8 billion for Comcast’s stake in Hulu.::Disney and Comcast have reached a deal on Hulu’s buyout. Disney expects to pay about $8.61 billion to get the 33 percent owned by Comcast as a result of their agreement in 2019.

CarlosCheddar ,

In other parts of the world Hulu content is already on Disney+

CarlosCheddar ,

Vulkan and Proton on Mac or bust.

CarlosCheddar ,

Same thing happened to me. I wonder if these articles are just ignoring the ratings.
