  • I recommend Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

    It's a tactical role playing game which means you have a bunch of characters that you level up in and outside of tactical battles.

    Maybe you like it.

  • The company structure only exists to provide a way to hire gitea developers for paid work.

    For now. But n the long run the focus will shift to profit. That's a totally normal thing.

  • It's not about that.

    If the game loop doesn't run at the same speed as the render loop you'll get 'tearing' - some game objects are at the latest state, some are not. That can cause some funky bugs.

  • Because it's easier to programm a single thread that executes a sequence of commands like [ update-gamelogic, update-graphics, etc. ] instead of at least 2 threads (for gamelogic and graphics) that you have to synchronize somehow. Synchronization can be pretty difficult!

  • I think it just doesn't free up any loaded texture if the VRAM size is large.

    Works as designed.

    Memory is there to be used. Why do you want to limit the usage? Do you need the memory elsewhere?

  • What did you say? ...say? ...say? ...say? ...say? ...say?

  • Is there a theme that imitates Windows 8/8.1 and its metro menu?

  • The OS splits memory into pages and assigns the pages to applications. A page fault usually means one of two things:

    • hardware fault
    • programming error

    You can check your memory with Memtest86. Some LiveCDs come with it. If it's a programs fault you can only try other software if possible.

  • Packaging is no problem at all. That stuff is done automatically nowadays. I'm not sure why that guy mentions that time and time again.

  • Phones that run mainline Linux are seldom. The only ones that come to my mind are PinePhone Pro (outdated hardware, 400 bucks) and Librem 5 (also outdated hardware, incredibly expensive 1300$ !). If you are serious get the PinePhone Pro. But expect pitfalls because you can't just run Android apps.

    Nextcloud is still the best option for self hosted cloud services.

  • You can just buy an aftermarket anti-glare screen. They are cheap.

    You can change the SSD by yourself but you'll lose waranty. There's a noticeable speed difference between the eMMC and NVMe versions. There's no noticeable speed difference between the NVMe versions.

    IMHO if can afford it and have a few technical skills buy the little one and install one of these. You might even want to wrap it in one these (there's a real leather option too) or these or replace the joysticks with these (can't get drift and have a much smaller deadzone).

  • What are typical compile times for let's say weekly updates and for a full system?

  • Too bright I'm getting a sunburn. 🫥

    Why is there a space between the window and screen border?

  • A mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell!
