Quoting: CorbenToday I learnt, that MangoHud totally killed VR performance for me.Probably worth mentioning in a quick bug report:
At first I was wondering, what that very little edge on a window was sitting in left top corner of my VR view, I couldn't properly see it, just that something was there. Until someone guessed it could be MangoHud. Oh dear, it was. And after completely disabling MangoHud, by renaming /etc/vulkan/implicit_layers/MangoHud.json, performance was great again.

It doesn't seem to be used for actual games much, the last game using the engine seems to have been Sumoman in 2017. They seem to have found a niche for themselves with military/industry simulations instead.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI am hoping they get into the Debian repos at some point, as you still need to add the OBS repo for it.Possibly you already know this, but it's packaged (together with goverlay, vkbasalt and mangohud) but currently waiting for a sponsor to upload:

The laptop I'm looking to replace shipped with 8GB of RAM. Nine years ago...

One day soon, I really hope hardware vendors stop shipping with 8GB RAM as a their minimum because so much now just eats ram like it's candy you don't get a lot done with it unless you're willing to really watch everything you use. Apart from that, it seems like a nice unit.Oh dear yes!

Sad newshttps://www.ulule.com/little-ghost/news/triste-nouvelle-278330/ [External Link]
We are issuing this press release to bring you some difficult news. We are indeed forced to prematurely end the crowdfunding campaign for the Little Ghost project.
As you know, the world situation has been complicated for some time. In addition, some members of the team have recently experienced even more difficult times related to the Storm Alex which stroke badly our region in October. The aftermath of all of this has forced them to leave the Jolly Roger Productions crew today. Their departure is heartbreaking for the whole team but, beyond our affection for them, it is also problematic for the Little Ghost Project.
We are no longer able to produce it as we had conceptualized it.

Looks like there's been some work on the quartz front, yay!
Also nice to see the fontconfig changes. Not sure how noticeable these particular changes are, but startup time is an issue.
