5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming

  • The quantum leap for linux gaming was that one guy who wanted to make nier automata work and developed dxvk.

    • Namecheap ups its prices 9% for .com and .xyz this fall.

    Jump

  • The domain registry (basically owner of the domain ending) sets the price.

    Edit: Though it should be mentioned there's a power above them (ICANN) that has to approve the price.

    • Such a small world

  • Remember GallowBoob? Now you do I'm sorry in advance.

    • Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?

  • You might like LibreTube!

    • All hail lemmyverse.net

  • That juicy /all feed though, worth it.

    • Inkscape Outdoes Itself Again | Version 1.3 Has Arrived!

  • Shape builder looks amazing, my boolean operations always boil down to trial and error.

    • Lemmy Canvas 2023 has ended!

  • PlaceDE is a huge community and there's probably a lot of bottled up desire to put the flag since it's socially frowned upon to hoist it outside of football cups.

    • It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.

  • Free as in free speech, not as in free beer!

    • Nowadays, what are the drawbacks and limitations of using Linux for gaming? What distro would you guys advise?

    Jump

  • More drawbacks I can think of

    • VR gaming is a much worse experience due to neglected linux drivers and SteamVR linux version
    • Discord screen sharing is in a bad state still
    • Variable refresh rate realistically requires wayland on a multi-monitor setup which comes with its own caveats

    Despite these I think if you get a setup that works for you the experience will be better on Linux.

    For distros I've always been of the opinion that Arch-based is the best choice for people switching due to the vastness of the AUR; for that I can recommend EndeavourOS.

    • Table Flip Time 🙃

    Jump

  • yubikey/fido2 support is what I'd probably consider premium for

    • The more they censor, bigger it gets

    Jump

    • Will this also affect lemmy.ml?

    Jump

  • 1/12th of their national income is from .tv so they'll have sunk before that happens...

    • "It has to be Chromium"

    Jump

  • Not a fan of Vivaldi either but it's not closed source. https://vivaldi.com/source/

    Though the source code doesn't even get a link on their website so I can see why people think that.

    Edit: I was wrong, there's closed source parts (the UI).
