A $70 price tag is usually the cherry on top, too.
Anything over $45 is nearly always a giant red flag. It needs 95% on steam for me to consider it. I have found $35 to be a good ballpark that hits games with focused/enjoyable complexity, without the nonsense that comes at higher prices/AAA. You don't even need to consider value for money: they're simply better than more expensive games (most of the time).
The rules are different for a second term primary. 85%+ is typical from what I've read. Especially when your voter base is bigoted and your opponent is female.
The message is still to use the PulseAudio and JACK APIs. They are proven and they work and they are fully supported.
I know some projects now use the pw-stream API directly. There are some advantages for using this API such as being lower latency than the PulseAudio API and having more features than the JACK API. The problem is that I came to realize that the stream API (and filter API) are not the ultimate APIs. I want to move to a combination of the stream and filter API for the future.
Switching over to the discrete GPU work in the efi/bios might help. Optimus (the driver that chooses between discrete and integrated) is known to be a steaming pile.
PipeWire wins in the feature-set game, which is why it is being preferred over PulseAudio.
According to the inventor of PipeWire, this is the wrong perspective to take. PipeWire is preferred over PulseAudio as a server, clients (apps) should continue to use the PulseAudio/JACK APIs because the PipeWire API is not designed for general use (it's designed for things like pipewire-pulse and pipewire-jack).
I'm not a fan of Rider, it's just that OmniSharp outright breaks on large/real-world projects and Visual Studio doesn't work on Linux. I don't use their products out of choice.
I use NixOS on my personal machine and nixpkgs on my work Ubuntu (22.04 LTS). In the absence of NixOS I would not be using it: it somehow breaks all the file (open, save, etc.) windows, causing any app that tries to open one to crash (particularly annoying for browsers).
Not to mention the wrapGL issue.
It needs more polish on "genericlinux". I did previously use it on MacOS, and it did make MacOS almost bearable - definitely years ahead of brew.
Indeed. UKIs are the way.
