You have to think in terms of bottleneck. If you have a really heavy desktop environment or operating system, then it can (and will) slow down older and weak computers. For those, it makes sense to install some special prepared environments, so it does not slow them down. If you have a modern and fast computer with plenty of resources, then it won’t make a difference which you install.

In example, you have 16gb RAM, but your system uses only 4gb. Switching to a system that uses only 2gb won’t get you any benefit, you have plenty of room that is unused. And for all other daily operations in the Window environment, lets say opening and closing windows with some effects and transparency, would lets say for fun require 1ghz of CPU to calculate without slowing the operation down. If you have a modern multicore CPU with 5ghz, then you don’t win anything by installing a desktop environment or operating system that makes use of only 0.5ghz.

What do you mean by retroactively? Like deleting remotely from your system, without your permission or decision? Something what Google did with Android before too.

No doubt about ntsync being superior and better than the hacky solutions of current implementation. My point is only about the performance gains, which can be misleading to some people if they do not pay attention. I’m not saying anyone was “false advertising” here, just making clear its compared against the base WINE version and not Proton.

I’m still curious and want to see how much of a performance difference in a real Steam environment will be.

The big boost for gaming is only relevant if you do not use Proton. While there might be some boost for selected games, in general the new Kernel 6.14 shouldn’t make much of a difference for Steam gamers using Proton. Because Proton already got some alternative to NTSync mechanism, which improved some titles already.

The benchmarks presented with huge %-boosts and improvements are compared to previous WINE version, which do not have some of the alternative optimizations from Proton. Therefore I would be a bit cautious, if you already play on Steam using Proton.

I disagree. Copyright is not bad.

What a dumb statement. Copyright has nothing to do with money. Copyright is for everyone.

The biggest problem with Ai is copyright.

Glue is pretty strong and can work well. If you do it right.

Tesla is the only car company on earth in history in the entire universe that has every single existing model subject to a recall.

When i read the post title, I honestly thought this is a meme.

I thought Polonius would be part of the 2024 Edition, and was sad not seeing being mentioned at all. Good to see its still being worked on.

This can easily be solved by bundling all update commands into a single command. I have an alias for this, that updates everything with just a command called update. There is no need for an extra software. But you have to figure out the commands and options to do this correctly. For my operating system EndeavourOS, I have this:

alias update='eos-update --yay ;
  flatpak update ; 
  flatpak uninstall --unused ; 
  rustup self update ; 
  rustup update'

then run it with:

update

… which updates the system, the AUR, Flatpak and my Rust environment. You don’t need to rely on any third party software to update your system.

That’s unknown information to us.

I saw some permaban which does state its permanently deactivated, and not banned for a time limit.

If anything, a fork would take its place. If something like that would happen. It doesn’t even need much change, only the name and branding, and the user agreement. While doing so some defaults would change too probably, as a sideeffect. To be honest, I hope this happens.

The Ubuntu and Manjaro era is over. Arch is the new Ubuntu (by popularity for gaming). Fedora and Endeavour also grew a lot. Question is if they reached their ceiling already. Pop OS could explode in popularity once COSMIC is out, but maybe not for gaming. Bazzite got even a patch note addressing an issue with this specific distribution in the game Marvel Rivals. Here is a lot of potential for this distro, as an alternative for the future general SteamOS distro (if it ever comes out as a general install media). BTW, nobody seem to talk about HOLO ISO anymore.

That’s the 8 man (not sure about how many, but I think it was less than 10) helper team in the US which got laid off. They were only contracted and this is actually normal in the industry. Those articles are sensational. The main team in China is unaffected by this.

I also bookmarked the Librewolf Flatpak package. I consider to change my browser (Firefox) for the first time in 20 years or so, since its inception. I do not rely on the Mozilla account, so the switch should be easier for me. Passwords should be compatible I assume. In worst case you can export and import passwords.

They do not get ownership, but a license to do what they want with it. Giving a license does not change ownership, yes they are correct with this.
