essentially made all your games run within a sandboxed instance which has a limited set of binaries that emulate another mini OS within your primary OS.

Isn’t it just library bundling? It’s not like it’s running inside a virtual machine or anything.

I can see the Rocket League process right there when listing my user processes, e.g.

There are so many conflicting reports regarding the performance on Flatpak, for Steam but also in general, so I don’t know what to believe.

At least one source said the performance overhead is negligible on modern hardware, so I think I’m gucci.

That’s not what they were refuting. They were just saying that containers run on the metal just like any other software.

🙂

That would be nice indeed. They do have their own desktop client, but it should be possible to connect to their servers with some kind of add-on or something. That would be awesome.

I’m saddened that you think me pointing out there are other options is “disagreeing”. I’m just offering the insight to readers of your comment that there are other options.

It’s not difficult to find, if you just search for “email provider with encryption” or similar. Pick your favorite.

The point I was making was that people shouldn’t feel like there are only two options. 🙂 Please don’t take that as me disagreeing with you personally.

I’m referring to encryption at the provider level

So was I. 👍

The are a lot of options with encryption apart from Tuta and Proton.

More expensive than Tuta for a similar offering, but what’s nice with Posteo is you can have a really low lowest tier with €1/mo, if that’s all you need. 👍

I’m personally with Tuta.

If you only update once a month (which should be fine as well, definitely), then you only need to check the news page once a month too, less often than I do probably. 😄 Seems like a win-win. 👌

You can also selectively update packages of course, but this is strongly ill-advised unless you know what you’re doing.

But like, doas pacman -Sy firefox should be fine…

You didn’t hear it from me. 🤐🥸

Yeah, vaguely 😅 I use syslinux for booting, habit from when I used to dual boot, so I was luckily not affected. But yes, it is definitely wise to check the news before upgrading system-critical packages!

How much is a Mac Studio though? I imagine it would take me a few years of power consumption to catch up to the difference in price. 😅

What do you have to do to work your GPU down in power consumption like that?

Who could say. Not I. 😁

You still haven’t answered what’s newer than AI agents.

And for the record, you don’t think this is picking a fight? Or at least acting like an immature peace of shit? Honestly. GTFOOH. You’re supposed to be a grown ass person.

I’m not the one who picked the fight. You were acting like a smug POS from the start, and I tried to be nice but it was a doomed endeavor. And nobody is using emojis as “a weapon”. Only you understand where that’s coming from. Might align well with your twisted world view.

You using cat petting as a metaphor is not obvious lol. Just because it’s obvious to you—the one saying it—doesn’t mean a person who is not inside your brain can be considered as having no brain. You even have a cat. It’s not very far-fetched a thing to do for an incel.

The fact that you’re getting so upset shows me I’m right.

The fact that you think I’m upset shows me your delusions are just as predictable now as they were at the beginning of this dreadful correspondence with you.

I moved from Reddit to get away from elitist schmucks like you, among other reasons. Sad to see Lemmy getting more and more of you coming over as time goes on. Yuck.

I don’t mind development being a little slower if it means the software is more stable and performant.

Now, that said, I can’t really speak to the fact that Rust is more performant or stable than some other language X, as I don’t know enough to make such statements. 😅

I’m just saying.

I like the way you phrase things there, pal. 👌

Hey, if you have the space and don’t mind the extra heat and electricity consumption 😎👌 all good by me.

Why is Flatpak Steam worse for performance? I’ve been using it for years, seemingly better performance than Windows on the same system. Something inherent about Flatpak?

If you’re serious about gaming I recommend KDE as your desktop environment, plays nicer with HDR, VRR and fractional scaling than Gnome.

Mm, I don’t think I’d be willing to sacrifice my Niri workflow. Niri also supports fractional scaling and VRR, but not yet HDR, which I can live without until it’s implemented. 😁

I guess we have different use cases is all. People who primarily use their computers for gaming.

My PC is:

1. My media server
2. My workstation when WFH
3. My entertainment center if the TV is busy
4. My gaming PC
5. My hobby development PC

(In no particular order.)

Is it the goal of Linux to be usable by the average person? Just asking.

I consider myself an average person. I’m a completely self-taught Linux user, until I learned a bunch more at uni, but that was a small fraction of what I know now and after I started using Linux.

I just followed the installation guide and searched the internet when I couldn’t figure something out myself, just like I expect from the average schmuck. Especially a gamer schmuck who might know a thing or two more than average average schmucks who barely use computers at all.

You know what I mean? Like are we expecting Linux to do Windows levels of handholding?

I know a lot of gamers who will happily drop into the firmware of their motherboard and tweak the timings of their RAM, but they can’t expect to learn some command line commands? Read some documentation?

Huh.

I guess with my 16 cores and 64 GB DDR5 I don’t really notice anything hampering my frame rate. 😅

But on my old PC with just 12 cores and 32 GB DDR4, I would sometimes close Firefox and all those YouTube tabs to get some memory back and make some CPU cycles available. Gosh darn Linux just handing out memory on loan rather than what’s available. I don’t use a swap file either. 😅

But I guess just closing stuff down isn’t an option? Is it like services running?
