Quoting: WMan22I also don't like the tendency to say "Xorg is dead" [...] while I'm not Xorg fan, understand why it's deprecated, and really appreciate a lot of what Wayland is doing

As a regular use, I'm almost scratching my head coming up with a list of things I can do in X that I can't do in Wayland.

WayPipe allows streaming applications over SSH.

Maybe some Server Client Stuff to mimic X2Go and X forewarding or whatever it's called.

And maybe some clipboard stuff like noted in the article linking up Wayland and XWayland clipboards.

Nothing really jumps out at me.

Maybe I can't do stuff when applications need to play catchup like WINE just isn't able to scale applications (StarCraft 1) on Wayland like 800p up to 3840p or Krita waiting on v6.0 and Qt6 for Wayland support.

I don't come up with a whole lot, and efforts like this to close the gaps are more than welcome, Valve has done a tremendous job getting the (linux) "ship" upgraded and optimized.

Just to comment on AMD PowerColor 7900 XTX -- it's not like 6900 XT -- I set an aggressive fan curve and have [ Performance Mode Fixed ] set to [ High ] and it makes no difference in fan speed.

Maybe I should report a bug? Or maybe the GPU is working as intended (still 55-62 C idle seems high).

Or maybe the 7xxx series is different somehow that hasn't been accounted for just yet.

In any case it's great to see the RX 7600 added. Dollar per Value I might buy 1-2x 7600 for LAN rigs now that my other LAN rigs just got their 6900s. The 480, 580 and 590s are starting to get old, I really did like the Mini ITX RX 5500 but these days with the increased cost of parts and the weird shortages Mini ITX just isn't optimal when you building all these makeshift LAN rigs out of whatever extra you have laying around.

So far 7xxx on Linux has been excellent, 4k gaming in Gnome and Sway -- Baldurs Gate 3 runs like a dream. And lately I've switched exclusively to Steam Deck as my "Controller" -- So I load the games up on the big screen and then use the WIFI "Stream" to handle the controller input (XBONE and DS4 are a chore recompiling the kernel modules every time there is a update and messing with all these obnoxious dongles.)

CoreCtrl has been fairly good. It's just too bad that they don't have a systemd service or daemon -- Sometimes our Linux users forget to put in the password after login and then their machines overheat and have to stay powered down for a few minuets to boot.

I could almost see a new project at some point take all the good from CoreCtrl and OpenRGB and combine them into one someday.

AMD has been good to me.

Thank Disney corp for making Patents a tool of lawfare.

I know this is a bit premature but this Japanese-executive mindset is daft. I wouldn't be that surprised if this failure to read the room leads to the total annihilation of Nintendo as a company in the next 10 years.

After Miyamoto goes they might as well kiss their ass goodbye.

The Samurai Jack game is pretty fun in my opinion, and Duck Game too -- though it's $20 minimum. If I didn't already have them I'm not sure I would know they were good picks or have bought them.

Looks like it was once on sale for 23.99 [External Link] for context.

I hope Nintendo sues them so hard that every gamer in the whole world knows about PalWorld.

I love the Streisand effect [External Link]

Quoting: elmapul"Denuvo DRM removed, plus performance improvements"
what a strange coincidence /sarcasm

There seem to be many reviews noting a major FPS boost from today like this one.

***POST DENUVO REMOVAL REVIEW***

[...] Around Pyloon's Saloon I used to get anywhere between 50 and 70 fps with HUGE stutters (Thanks Denuvo for that...).

Now I'm getting anywhere between 70 and 100 with buttery smooth gameplay with that POS DRM removed, (1440p, high settings with FSR on Quality).

The Shattered Moon I'm getting between 70 to 100 fps as well.

Galaxy map does tank the FPS but honestly, I'll take that over the denuvo Crap any day.

My Rig is as Follows:

rx 6750xt
r5 5600x
32gb Ram

Imagine having to pay a full time developer to "keep fixing the DRM" -- what a waste of money.

Also nobody tell them that piracy is a service problem. IIRC some rando street dweller uttered those words once, nvm it was billionaire Gabe Newell. (Is it cool to like billionaires again? and ok to praise people for their hard work and success? Because I'm gonna do it anyways.)

In the sidebar I see:

1. Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA online activation and EA app software installation and background use required.
2. Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account
3. Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA -- STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ EULA
4. EA Play subscription requires acceptance of -- EA Play Terms

Yeah no. Remember this?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/disney-wrongful-death-lawsuit-jeffrey-piccolo-b2597268.html [External Link]

Disney has claimed a husband cannot sue the company over his wife’s wrongful death because he signed up for a trial of the Disney+ streaming service.

Jeffrey Piccolo is suing the entertainment giant for $50,000 (£38,900) after his wife died from a severe allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant in Disney Springs, Florida, in October 2023.

Removing DRM is a step in the right direction -- but this is EA we are talking about -- I fully expect this to be 1 step forward 2 steps back. Color me shocked if they prove me wrong.

No I don't want to join your "platform" to buy and play a product. My machine doesn't need to be contaminated with nefarious suswarez.

May 1, 2024 -- Unity Appoints Matthew Bromberg as New CEO

This man was installed like a toilet. Either his mission was to run the company into the ground (stock market people do this all the time and short-sale the stock so they can get millions of dollars of free money) or to bring the gaming industry under surveillance and control of whomever his masters are.

I have never seen such a BOLD FUCK YOU to this industry, especially the indies. Always online editor? Pay per install? This man is a shark and should step down as CEO and all the other executives should get checked for corruption for letting this happen.

--

I do have to give the industry credit though. And the consequences were that godot gained a lot of traction. No backsies -- I like it better this way.

This guy is the Rick Berman of gaming.
