Quoting: eggroleWhile pretending to be affiliated somehow is shady, I find it amusing that FOSS (built on other FOSS no less) is talking about IP and asking to stop using their logo and name.
I truly fail to see the irony in here?
You can develop FOSS but still have trademarks for Name and Logo?

Nice to see CachyOS going quite strong already.
It is so far my most favorite distro I ever used.

my current OS for gaming is Tumbleweed and is the longest any distro has lasted me so far and I personally am very happy with it. I am very surprised that nowadays KDE seems to be the leading DE based on the comments.
I remember a time where it was avoided heavily in favor of gnome.

I've always been a fan of KDE even if its for wobbly windows alone.

Quoting: TharvasI hope we soon can choose audio inputs natively as with built in forced microphone recording it is rather annoying. it is fine for now as I mainly use it to record bugs or cheaters to send proof where sound is not needed but I don't think Valve intended this to be it's primary function.
Hmm, you could choose to record your microphone in one of the last betas. There was a checkbox toggle switch for it!
Was i missed was the option not to record default output. Example: whem i play with friends and have mumble (a voice chat client) in the background, they get recorded too.
good to know, I must have missed this toggle!
I agree about recorded audio though, it just makes sense that the game recording per default records the game only and not the whole desktop audio.

let's wait and see though.

it worked 50-50 for me.
having the recording directory set to a tempfs seems to crash the preview of the recording so you don't really know what you are clipping until you export it which was working fast and fine.

How do you like it? And how's the performance for you?
Haven't played a lot myself, just some training and bot fights.
performance is quite good, very fast and I can still adjust downwards if needed.
