Its a concern in the south east Atlantic area as well. I remember reading concerns about it in the paper when I worked there for a bit

VRR, HDR.

It also had an early patch for nvidia support on Wayland earlier in the year.

I believe mutter-vrr has gotten merged though, behind a dconf flag

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

KDE on desktop, I’d use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

Yeah but I imagine porting a JVM and an API using open source code is much easier than reversing the Windows API.

Just got an Ultimate 2c. It doesn’t work well in some games. Specifically Sackboy, Moonstone Island

If I had another go I’d probably purchase the 8bitdo Pro 2 Hall edition as it can switch between xinput and direct input.

Good. We had perfectly reasonable rebuildables for so long.

And then Juul made disposables popular and in came waves of China disposables.

Agreed. FSR 3 really is amazing and I’d gladly use that to pull a few more years of playing my favorite games on 720p low.

Upscalers are great for portables I just hope it’s not used to excuse poor optimization.

That said I only play fps on my desktop, the steam deck opens up an entirely different class of games for me.

Here in sync. I clicked the preview in a repost and it didnlt load.

Clicked through to the original post and it loaded… It took about a minute and a half to load though.

IEMs. Larges headphones are cool and all, but I have a fro so the head dent is real.

Personally I don’t consider it a con unless rampant. However in many cases they’ve dumped the projects. It is effort that could have helped along another project.

imo the negative side effect is the wasted effort and the abandonment.

Same, I was very sad wheb they gave up in Unity8. I do check in often on the project as I felt it provided a very good mobile experience.

The thing is. Snaps isn’t the first controversy.

Canonical, with Ubuntu early on was helping drive things forward, but they reached a point where they started to do things their own way with disregard to the broader ecosystem.

Each time they did this, they cause fragmentation, struggled, and then deferred to the choice the rest of the ecosystem has. The problem with this is that they’re not sharing their effort, they’re just throwing it away.

They merely doubled down hard on snaps which is the latest controversy.

Snaps have their own advantages, but Canonical owns the store. Which becomes its own stalewort

I felt the same however Organic Maps did have many businesses. And with Street Complete I can correct any errors when I visit.

It may simply be my area, but I so recommend organic maps over Osmand for business and POI lookups

I agree with you, I don’t want the trouble and just use mailgun free tier.

That said, I just need password reset emails for my IAM solution.

I imagine some just want to try, under the desire to avoid having their email data misused for data collection / ai training

Some news sources sell suvscrptions via newsletter.

Personally I find it quite nice, its similar to RSS and has high quality authors.

You can absolutely get by by, and have a great experience with GNOME + the app store.

Its a reason its default on so many distros.

Google Pay/Wallet

Right now tap and pay is completely and hopelessly corporate

OK fine but you better let me watch YouTube on my infotainment then since it’s just as distracting

It mentions that the work from Valve was for accessory support. So they may not be extending that much effort towards getting it on specific devices. Rather, I think they’re working on generic PC support on the side.

The exciting thing I am taking from this, specifically because of the ROG Ally are two things:

• Valve intends to support nvidia drivers in SteamOS (the ROG Dock)
• Valve intends to ensure eGPUs are a good experience on SteamOS

If these do make it to fruition that would be a huge benefit overall for Linux gaming.
