Quoting: ExplosiveDiarrhea¨gaming optimized distros" are the dumbest thing ever, hobby projects that do not contribute anything upstream and do not teach their users anything.
But they are always fast and efficient when they have to setup their patreon...

Fair point.

My counter-point is Nobara: the freshness of Fedora, nvidia drivers preinstalled (so the largest Fedora roadbump removed), and you cannot find another distro which contributes to Linux gaming more than what Glorious Eggroll does with Proton-GE and umu.

Unless you're Valve, of course.

GTAVI.

(With very low hope to be shipped without kernel-level anticheat.)

So a browser requiring tons of RAM to run AI locally, but unable to do so because RAM prices skyrocketed to run AI remotely.

What a time to be alive...

EVE Online, since 18 years straight now.
Pax Dei, from some of the guys who developed EVE.
The Lords of the Rings - Return to Moria, and we're digging deeply and greedily (what can go wrong?).
Elite: Dangerous, basically since 1984...
HumanitZ, but we stopped the EA playthrough, as we wait for release.

Quoting: Loftya comment so accurate you made it onto a Mr. Sujano video :grin:

Oh, wow.

Hi Mr. Sujano.

You said my name like you don't know what character it comes from (*).

I thought you were into videogames... :wink:

(*) - actual ingame name and name in manual are slightly different, I know.

If there's a textbook example of how one can hate and love a videogame company at the same time, then it's Epic Games.

Today is even-numbered, so we love them.

Tomorrow Sweeney will speak, and we will hate them.

Sigh

Owner of a featureless store claims the features of the featureful competitor are irrelevant.

Quoting: MayeulC

Quoting: syylkviewport/video memory sharing

Now I don't understand this. We already have dma-buf.

Screensharing / screencasting still don't work natively in Wayland, while it works on X11.

Examples:
- Discord streaming your game screen to the other people in your voice call;
- Teams sharing your screen or a window it doesn't "own" while in a videocall;
- OBS capturing stuff from other program's GUIs and casting in Twitch or other streaming service.

I'm sure there are not the only edge cases. And I'm equally sure there are workarounds. But this is the behavior out of the box for me (Nobara 43, Plasma 6.5.2 on Wayland, ofc).

I understand program isolation and sandboxing. But if the walls of the sandbox are too tall, then one program cannot grab what another is showing, and redirect the stream appropriately.

And this is what I mean for lack of feature parity with X11. X11 can do all of the above by letting one software somehow peek at the private graphic structures of another.

Wayland needs a secure and backward compatible (which, unfortunately, rules out secure) way to manage global shortcuts and keypresses and viewport/video memory sharing.

These are two sore points of still incomplete feature parity with X11.

Yes, there are workarounds. Yes, the old ways were insecure by design. Yes, it's damn hard to provide these features to unmaintained software that expects stuff to work in a certain way.

But removing used/useful features is not exactly progress, no matter in name of what is being done.

The half-full-glass kid in me wants to think it's good that at least this will increase accountability for contributors.

No point in downright outlawing this slop; but at least, at very least, it can be made (more) transparent.
