It would if I were using Nvidia but I use AMD.

Latest mesa + plasma 6.1.1 = janky as well

Window dodging recently broke on me so I can’t dodge windows on any of the panels properly anymore, was working great on 6.1. Certain windows will cause the desktop to lock up and I can’t click on any windows or icons in the panel task manager. The global menu only works half the time now. I’m getting severe mouse cursor stuttering on a 120Hz display on the desktop, certain games running proton that were fine before have micro stutter. It’s been a pretty terrible experience on the AMD side recently.

Xbox as a console is pretty much a dead platform, Xbox as a brand is still kicking and successful. That’s kind of how I feel, if you want a console then you’re better off buying a PlayStation but if you have hardware already and just want games then Xbox has a good platform with gamepass.

I’ve looked at revolt and well, when I tried using it it was filled with less than reputable individuals. I don’t remember specifics but I remember noping the fuck off revolt real quick. If you want text chat, try matrix, if you want voice well, then idk what to say other than discord, team speak or guilded. Guilded is pretty cool, I actually like the client way better than discord but my friends all use discord and guilded isn’t a huge platform. It is backed by the Roblox company so you at least know it’s gonna be supported, but then again, it’s the Roblox company…

Yeah no thanks, I’ve kicked my Windows habits, I don’t need it anymore. I have no interest in this now that I have a steam deck.

I wouldn’t say in the works, this is one person who’s a web developer posting on Reddit about an idea. In the works usually tells me they’re already working on the project, not trying to find people to help start it. GL to them I guess.

They rehash the same chip over and over again each generation with minimal gains, increase the power requirements and cut out third party oems like EVGA. Give it a couple generations and I would bet they’ll only be selling the 4080/90 equivalents in the future and let intel or amd have the midrange and low range market, freeing up manufacturing for their AI/ML hardware. Doesn’t matter if it’s conjecture, the writing is on the wall. People are choosing to ignore it even though the market is flooded with low end Nvidia cards made to look like their low and midrange offerings aren’t selling. It’s only a matter of time, the consumer graphics market is a second class citizen for Nvidia.

It’s true though…consumer graphics mean damn near nothing to them, their AI/ML profits shit all over your precious 4080’s and 4090’s in regards to straight profit for Nvidia.

I would keep in mind one thing with Nvidia. Their consumer GPU market is a drop in the bucket compared to their server, cloud and AI/ML markets. AMD dedicates real effort and resources to their hardware development and they don’t lock their features to their own platform. I’m still using a vega56 and haven’t really felt a need to upgrade because things like fsr just keep my card chugging along.

Picked up a series S from GameStop online because it was the only thing in stock. Thing is, I love really powerful hardware in small form factors, but the series S really shows the cracks in Microsoft’s plans IMO. It’s very clear the series S is supposed to be the gamepass console, problem is gamepass quality has been steadily dropping over time and Microsoft buying up companies makes a ton of sense since they haven’t had any major releases other than Forza.

I haven’t touched the series S in probably months. My kids have been playing it quite a bit for games like the Sims and super Lucky’s tale. Everything else can be played on PC, my ps5 or my stream deck so I have no need of it anymore. Not to mention the streaming quality for me on PS5 is just better than XCloud, and that’s just a bonus.

I’ve said it before, Jim Ryan was correct when he said publishers don’t like gamepass and it’s bad for the industry. When I look at the quality of ps plus vs gamepass, it’s clear PlayStation really thinks of it as a supplemental service than a major revenue stream, but doing it that way drives the need to have more quality features and games vs just letting every and any game on your service.

I feel like this is Bioware’s hail Mary, the fact is they dug up this franchise from the dead after anthem flopped and probably want to make a game in an established franchise that they felt they could deliver a successful product. I hope it turns out great, I love Bioware games, been a fan for a very long time and the Bioware name deserves more recognition than what people give it these days. They don’t even have the comfort of swtor to give them a little side revenue anymore since they had to sell that off. Hopefully this game turns out as good as they hope it does, I know I will play it if it’s good.

So did they just drop PlayStation altogether? I have the client for this game on my PS5 from their crossplay open beta that didn’t work.

Because it’s a pendantic and contrarian remark that makes you look like some kind of self-indulgent prick. The fact that you can’t just say “you’re stupid” and had to make sure you sound intellectually superior just reaffirms my observation.

Stop it, no one cares…making it look like something recognizable to the masses is the idea. No one cares about it looking like a real proton or electron.

Well I would be more excited for this if Xcloud didn’t have terrible latency.

And look at that, I’m now considering a video game price review as well, and I’ve concluded that $70 for a brand new AAA game is stupid and I won’t pay that much for a half-asses AAA game.

As others have said use the Pop_OS! Nvidia ISO. Nvidia drivers are just problematic on Linux. There’s a good chance your games will just work with that OS. It’s also based off Ubuntu, so it has access to the same software repositories.

Yeah there are distros that make the driver install process seamless like pop and Nobara. I’ve used both and have stuck with endeavorOS for now.

If they don’t use AMD then good luck, Nvidia is historically garbage on Linux. I’ve built my rig to be AMD only for the specific use case of gaming on Linux so it has been a fantastic experience for me.

I’m all for defederating, but only until we know what their intentions are. I’m more worried about Mastodon than Lemmy, but still, that’s not the point. The only power any of us have is to file an official complaint with the FTC and make a distinct point, not just “I hate meta/Facebook and want them to go away” it has to be a logical complaint such as “their terms of service are overstepping their boundaries and taking ownership of data on competing platforms that they do not own to lock out competitors.” It’s really the only thing anyone in the US can do.

I would hate for the fediverse to die by zuck the cuck’s hand, but the sad truth is open source is the enemy of corporate platforms, and it’s encouraging enough that ActivityPub is enough of a threat to Meta that they’re willing to go to these measures to make sure their bottom line isn’t harmed. The real fucked up thing is their intention to farm other platforms users with their consent and that’s the real problem.
