If that game can run on a VM, pretty sure you can play it even though you have activate Windows watermark.

They can. Though their workaround won't take long to come with a Proton update. At least Paradox isn't known with that kind of anti-cheat.

They do not. F-Droid also compiles from the source, they are the same apps.

Proton doesn't need to be allowed. It will be fine, unless they decide to put some terrible anti-cheat.

For me, it's Starcraft 2.

Try lowering some VRAM-heavy graphics settings. This was happening with Elite Dangerous to me with Proton 6. It was fixed with later Proton releases but until then I played with lowered VRAM-heavy settings.

Sounds like a memory leak. Have you checked your RAM and GPU memory when this happens? You can use btop and nvtop. If it's a memory leak, it shouldn't happen with every game though.

To be fair, I don't know any benchmark for this comparison. But I just tried a relatively big file with both of them. Opening part is not really noticeable, but fast-forwarding is much better and slicker in mpv. In VLC it looks like it's jumping between scenes, in mpv you actually see the motion of it's getting fast-forward.

Yes it's quite noticeable, especially with the bigger file size. mpv is really light.

You can still use older hardware in 2025. So, yes.

That makes sense. Nouveau isn't mature for some use cases yet, even though they made a huge jump with NVK. Hardware upgrade might be closer than you think then.

That's an emotional reply. However he did fucked up the country pretty bad. But he uses Ataturk's methods to stay in power, which apparently he studied them well. Of course it doesn't describe him alone, he's a combination of an Islamist, a centrist and a Kemalist. More or like what an islamokemalist is.

Even on X11? I tried it on Wayland months ago to see its state and it was generally fine except gaming. Though the results still might depend on the card in use I guess.

It is from a point of view of political science. He hates Ataturk but that doesn't prevent him to use his methods.

Well, you can hold onto that GPU for a little longer with X11. But it seems you'll need an upgrade some time later. Though if you don't game (aside from FOSS ones), Nouveau driver should do the job for your daily needs. However, it still needs time for Wayland.

Of course, it does not have the same goal. But it uses the same system.

There are still some quirks but it's been generally fine for me with Nvidia, almost a year now.

You might find this interesting, because Erdogan is also a Kemalist (at least some variation of it).
