Very good performance!

Nvidia dynamic boost is now default and a fresh kernel. Snaps work great now :heart:

So Ubuntu actually has 8.61% and 13,16% if Mint is counted (Mint is in practice Ubuntu and even using their repositories).

Why these Ubuntu's (core / snap and regular) are separated there makes no much sense.

KDE neon is a great Ubuntu-based distro. It's soon to be replaced by KDE Linux or KDE OS though. Much better names both of them because "neon" doesn't really tell anything.

Great article! Ubuntu is highly recommended for beginners and stability seeking folk alike. It is always just a matter of time when a rolling release distribution such as Endeavour / Manjaro / plain Arch break or an update process gets borked.

User really has to pay attention to forums and such before updating their system on those type of rolling releases, and or acknowledge that there will probably be conflicting package issues and so on: delete the one for time being, pull the other package in and then return the first one. This is the reality on Arch-based distros and the "sacrifice" won't bring you any FPS really.

Arch works best as a base for something specific to gaming: Steam OS for example is not really Arch, but indeed based on it using its certain models. Arch itself is not a distribution. The person installing it builds it as the process goes along. There is no such thing as default Arch.

I use the Spotify, Thunderbird, Telegram and other Snaps and they work great and are kept nicely up to date without me even needing to do anything.

I'm on the same camp now. Snaps are great! I don't have to worry about anything and they update on the background (though you can disable this feature if you want).

Canonical has made significant improvements after a bumpy start enhancing the Steam Snap.

Steam's Snap client itself starts faster than Flatpaked Steam for some reason and there are goodies included inside the snapped Steam: MangoHud and GameMode are already integrated in the Snap along with controller support and much more.

Quoting: Mountain ManThat is one of the ironies of media piracy. Pirates are the scourge of the industry, but in many cases, they are the only source for games, movies, television shows, and music that are no longer commercially available.

That's right and not just commercially non-available, but indeed you may have already bought the same game twice without a possibility to get your hands on your game legally. Copyright (mafia that is) also pretty much only slows down innovation and progress.

Apparently the laptop couldn't even be found from their store earlier by searching it. Seems to be fixed now. There was also some confusion about the actual name of the laptop too but now that has been corrected additionally.

Quoting: razing32And once again i have to differ to people that use GOG.
I use Steam for convenience and proton but stories like these make me realize that when push comes to shove its best to have a backup copy of your game.

This is why torrent sites are also kind of like an internet backup archive for games you have once purchased, taken away from you, or lost and you can still get them. And why shouldn't you? You have purcahsed! It belongs to you even though these types of removes happen.

Hey, Night School Studio! You are making absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever. What is the matter with you :huh:

Quoting: Linux_RocksI tried playing these with a controller again (on my Switch). Literally unplayable.

Steam Deck has touchpads which makes also these types of games a treat. Nevermind adventure games, etc :smile:
