This looks pretty cool, but not available to us peasants in Australia, probably have to import it at a premium.

So I will just on look from the far away side lines as people enjoy this device (hopefully). SOB

But in all seriousness, my money is queued up for buying a new VR headset at end of year (probably decagear1), so not like I would buy it anyway. Still neat stuff, promises allot however, skeptical.

We will definitely see FSR becoming better because of this.

I'm only interested in Vampire the Masquerade 2..

When dealing with new AMD hardware like this, arch is a good choice because you'll need some pretty bleeding edge MESA and Kernel support. (bugs getting fixed daily, hardware is far from matured in the software/driver department)

Unfortunately unification is a little tricky when certain stores don't have a direct web api to use such as Bethesda, Origin, RockStar.. And others which want you to RUN their little malware/updater/advertising bot before launching the game....

Steam is sort of like this but has many more functions such as offline mode and minimal launch options.
I do kind of wish steam had a smaller launch footprint version so people don't need to install full steam to play their games, just some micro api verification tool.

I'm always using stuff like steamless to bypass steam, but its a hassle sometimes and doesn't support MP games.

Nice, good to see they are tackling support for Proton within their application. One thing that disappointed me with Lutris was them just giving up altogether once the Soldier Runtime thing started, sure you can symlink the proton runner into Lutris but several components won't work correctly which can create compatibility issues as I've discovered.

For example things like Mod Organizer 2 will fail to function fully with proton wired into lutris.
Why would someone want to use proton and not steam itself you ask? well games launched via steam proton have additional issues themselves such as things like certain system libraries not being visible to proton run apps (python comes to mind).

I'm one of those people who always seems to find those few major weaknesses with wine/proton that absolutely nobody else finds. Probably a result of my mod everything nature, never vanilla :) (all of which is perfectly fine and easy to do under windows btw)

There may be some hardware ticks you can enable with firefox about:config settings that help with latency and performance. Some are experimental, people on reddit sometimes post about these settings.
I've tested them before and they do help with embedded graphics websites so maybe would help here.

Firefox has been in degradation mode for a few months now, they are basically trying to destroy it for some reason (mozilla).
Might be time for someone to pick up the hammer under Linux and smash out a cloud/streaming edition of FF?.... (note:windows vs linux firefox can differ allot in performance)

Sadly here in South Australia my corroded copper lines can only do up to 64Mbit link and I very much doubt there is many cloud streaming centers situated in Adelaide (I'm hrs out from Ade). Australia overall is just not very suited for cloud-gaming except in those few fiber locations near CBD of Sydney/Melbourne where the data-centers are.
