VR is atrocious, everything else is amazing, though I think I'm having issues with something related to OBS screen capture causing hitching. Could be a number of things inside or outside of Mesa.
certain hardware configurations. I have two computers on linux. One of them has issues with GTK4, the other one doesn’t. The only difference between these machines is hardware.
Right, what are the "certain hardware" configurations? Are they really old? Are they really niche?
Forcing Adoption of Google’s Tools: Locking in website publishers to its newly-acquired tools by restricting its unique, must-have advertiser demand to its ad exchange, and in turn, conditioning effective real-time access to its ad exchange on the use of its publisher ad server;
More on this is how they've treated new web technologies like WebHID. TL;DR is that nobody agreed with Google's implementation of WebHID but (especially considering it was just "oh hey we wrote some code for it, this is how it should work :)"), since they're the biggest, went with it anyway and told Mozilla and others to go pound sand. Google has immense influence over what the web actually is, but nobody talks about that.
Also: is copy pasting ChatGPT answers a thing now even when you, as you said, don’t even know what it means??
As long as it's annotated as such I don't mind, even if it's wrong. And if it's wrong you're more likely to get people to actually respond via a "umm but actually" type response
Look at no man's sky and how they in the past have had to patch their game for Linux via proton. It happens, proton is not perfect and it never will be
Well, such is the downfall of OSS, I mean look at VR on Linux, Mesa straight up will hard crash if you try to run SteamVR on the latest versions, and the time it takes for VR related bugs in Mesa to get patched are insanely long.
Just gotta make a hubub about it until someone with the knowhow can fix it.
When loading plugins, do NOT use oh-my-zsh or other plugin managers. In most cases, the plugins are just zsh files, so just source the files directly into your .zshrc to have better performance. For me, zsh with oh my zsh is unbearably slow. Without it, zsh is so much faster.
Maybe you used a much older version of oh my ZSH, but at least the latest versions of OMZ I use have no issues with performance at all. It's a possibility that some of the plugins you're using just don't play nice through OMZ in terms of performance. I know there's been many updates to OMZ as of recent years that have massively improved performance.
For context the slowest device I use is a laptop (granted with a 5800U), on battery it'll struggle to load pages quickly, but such is the way of a laptop if you want reasonable battery life. Doesn't help that the web is a mess though :/
I would consider teaching them about a CLI shell, like Fish or ZSH (through oh my zsh), whilst they're not usually going to have the luxury of a nice shell on a remote server but they will if they're on a desktop. A good shell makes the CLI soooooo much easier, and faster, to use. Work smarter not harder, install a shell other than bash.
I would also HIGHLY consider teaching them about desktop app software development on Linux, there's a surprising number of developers who don't know about the different ways you can distribute software on Linux:
Native system packages
Snap packages
Flatpaks
Teaching them about this is definitely a must imho, there are so many OSS projects out there that insist on distributing their software via native system packages (without supporting most distros). They're also likely to run into it even if they're just in IT, the server market uses Snaps quite a bit.
The hit on NVIDIA is pretty rough, I only see about 5% losses on AMD. But it will depend on your hardware fs. Hopefully we can finally see native Wayland support in Proton soon
Nobody's requiring you to use Wayland currently, I mean realistically name a Wayland-only app (excluding the ones like remote desktop apps that are replacing X11 apps that don't work at all on Wayland), they don't exist. But with new technologies will always be growing pains, the X11 -> Wayland transition will still be another few years I imagine, I mean at this point we're really only waiting on NVIDIA 🫠. It's a painful process, but one that is only so painful because it's been put off for so long, if we put it off for any longer it would've just been even worse.
Yeah, then we can have marginally more responsive web apps.
Seriously though, web apps are usually just optimized like shit in addition to using chrome.
