Essentially since I switched to AMD almost a year ago, and I switched so I could use wayland with freesync lol

I have the adapter from Cable Matters I think and I'm fairly sure it supports VRR at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Tested it on a Hisense U8H. I stopped using the adapter though because on Windows it wouldn't work with VRR, the screen would kind of go black when I moved the mouse. Not sure what it was.

I can confirm on this some time tomorrow

IIRC the screenshot thing was the tipping point for me. Tried taking a screenshot in the Crunchyroll app for Android, and it came out black...

Looked into plex, and it's all been better ever since

I hadn't either until the Steam autumn sale 2023, I wanted Dirt Rally 2 GOTY edition because it includes all the DLC, but I couldn't buy it because I already own the base game...

I used DXVK for Dragon's Dogma on Windows because it ran better overall, vs Directx 9 which the game uses natively.

This was on an AMD Rx 6800 xt

Maybe connecting the 2 screens to the same VPN server? Or if using Tailscale then using the same exit node on both screens, if possible. Apple TV supports Tailscale for example.

I would say, when playing games, if you get audio crackling, try a different kernel such as Liquorix (https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Akernels&package=kernel-liquorix). I've had that issue on my hardware across multiple distros, and this kernel solves it.

I believe it's something with a kernel parameter regarding scheduling, specifically as noted in this features list (https://liquorix.net/#features)

High Resolution Scheduling: 1000hz tick rate for precise low jitter task scheduling.

You may or may not get this issue with your hardware, but if you do, then this is something you could try.

Otherwise, great distro, I'm currently on it.

I used it for a while on my laptop and I like that it comes with the BTFRS snapshots by default. I used the KDE Lite version I think it's called.

Had this issue not long ago, check out this comment:

That fixed it for me

Not yet but I will check it out, thanks!

Just between yesterday and today I was struggling with this, to get DoH or DoT working, but Network Manager would override /etc/resolv.conf. At least I figured out how to stop NM from modifying the DNS.

I tried my putting my dns settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf, as suggested by Nextdns setup page, but that didn't seem to work, at least on Tumbleweed. On my Debian laptop running as a headless server, the /etc/systemd/resolv.conf does work.

I'm currently with Stubby, and it's working at least, but I would've liked to figure out the systemd-resolved way on Tumbleweed.

I would say option 3.

I can share my current setup in case you're interested.

I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:

/ -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think

/home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive

/boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive

Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.

So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.

Personally, I don't see it coming anytime soon. I played genshin on linux for maybe over a year, and with the fps unlocker for maybe almost 2 years, on both windows and linux, and have never been banned.

I stopped playing on version a few months ago though.

With the Arr stack I like that I can select which torrents I want to download. I don't know if that's possible with Stremio?

Also it doesn't seem streamio is available for Apple TV. I would give it a try otherwise

Maybe the one suggested in this thread might work for you?

Baldur's Gate 3 is amazing

I don't get ads like this, but I have Win 11 Pro and used Sophia Script to disable as much nonsense as I can.

Here are some options if you're interested: https://ripped.guide/Utilities/Debloating/

So far this is the only place I've seen mentioned regarding video streaming, that is still up anyway:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/more-dashboard-apps/cloudflare-stream/delivering-videos-with-cloudflare/

It's not entirely clear and I don't know if this is outdated or not.

I was using their proxy for video streaming for a while, but stopped cause I would rather not risk it. Maybe for personal use it could be ok

How much was it before?

I started using it yesterday and so far I'm liking it

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Didn't know
