Tried Plasma Wayland yesterday, WHAT A MESS that was. Broken UI and Font everywhere! you want functional non blurry desktop scaling then wayland won't be delivering anytime soon!

I really should make a video showing all the fucked up shit wayland does to my desktop. The new floating panel option for example has shadow render issues.. lol

Wayland still MILES away from being ready, at least on plasma.

Quoting: itscalledrealityGnome would be a worse interface due to it’s forceful restrictions and constant desire to break it’s addons.

Yeah that is my biggest issue with Gnome, look at all those plugins you can use... oh wait they keep breaking because the backend code keeps going through fundamental changes for some reason and plugin makers give up... sigh..

Benefit to Plasma has been ALL THAT is available in some way out of the box if you learn how to customize it all.

In saying that I'm tempted to try out Gnome again. Maybe I'll create a new user account and test it out.

Quoting: Mohandevir

Quoting: TheRiddickThe 4090 is projected stable TDP of 450W? what was the 3090 TDP?

350W

It's not terrible, I wouldn't trust a 4090TI however!

Well the 4090 is apparently close to double the raster performance of the 3090 and more then that in Ray Tracing and specific DLSS3/ADA stuff.

The 4090 is projected stable TDP of 450W? what was the 3090 TDP?

Prices however are skewed thanks to the crypto craze period where GPUs went up %500 $...

Quoting: MohandevirYep! I'll wait for a raytracing enabled Steam Deck... Valve already said it's going to be a thing.

You'd be better to just get a NVIDIA Geforce Now account and streaming it via online, I know lots of people who do that because they've given up on the cost of PC hardware.

I'm quite impressed with the DLSS3 demo and the Morrowind stuff, flight sim also running at 100fps or whatever is impressive as that was real dog-crap of a game performance wise.

Will get a 4090 but probably not in October..

It's all good. Now if the RayTracing component could just not be buggy experimental and perform on par with Windows drivers (still not great RT perf) then I'd be pretty happy. OH ALSO HDMI2.x needs to be supported. Still stuck at 420 colour limit because atm only NVIDIA supports HDMI2.0 (or is it 2.1)...

.NET 6 Support.
Hmm, I would have thought it be better to support a more open platform standard. I really hate developers that use .net or any specificity locked in and hard to translate MS API.

Could never get into city/town builders.. I think the last civ like game I really got into was Alpha Centauri. Before that was Transport Tycoon (some version).

You know what would be cool, is if the steamdeck had removable controller sides. That be cool, probably patented however... such is the world we live in.

I understand AntiCheat in very PVP games but don't see kernel level access for them to be reasonable solution. Basically their trying to automate the whole process which leaves gaping holes in peoples PC security.

Totally against single player games having anticheat.

The best solution for anticheat that I've seen is a active server+client side team that monitors exploits with basic AC software assisting.

The concept of a totally hands off approach for anticheat is leading us down a dark path where companies get full access to clients machines, recording keystrokes and every bit of meta data even when not playing any game.

Community needs to fight back and just not accept these tactics. I wish windows users were more aware of the dangers of giving corporations full access to their PC's (and lives) with no oversight... data leaks going to bring down so many peoples machines when these things go wrong (as we have seen already).

People need to stop shoulder shrugging their privacy rights away!
