Aurora, a spin of Universal Blue.

Sure, it looks great. But it doesn't have the popularity of Matrix, which is already less popular than XMPP which has enjoyed decent adoption since it's inception.

Bluesky is just Twitter before being bought by Elon Musk. The real alternative is Mastodon. Bluesky can go fuck itself.

Centralized. Not good. Conversations is on fdroid and is decentralized, federated, open source and uses a mature and battle tested protocol (XMPP). If I wanted something new, I would prefer Matrix over Signal.

Don't forget about all these color management stuff being baked into gimp, Krista and Inkscape.

Holy shit, I love seeing team red balls deep into linux. One thing is making your driver open source which is freaking awesome, but a compositor? That's cool as fuck.

It's really surprising how fast people forget about the shady shit rustdesk has done.

We should add Denuvo and some MTX to those voices, I'm sure devs will love it.

I keep reading about all kind of dumb shit happening to this device. Is it really that bad?

I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU? (self.linux)
 

My old 4790k finally died, and I need to replace both the CPU & MB. I was wondering if there would be any conflict in having an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU.

I want to use Bazzite on it. I'm running the same distro on my main rig and I'm very happy with it.

Any suggestions?

I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I'm not a dev so I can't really judge. What are your thoughts?

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.

Is there a comparison table between HoloISO, ChimeraOS, Bazzite? (self.linux_gaming)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by warmaster to c/[email protected]

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? (self.linux)
 

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.
