Look up TPUs, like a coral tensor. Extremely efficient at machine learning, only, and cheap. If NPUs use anything like a TPU, then it absolutely can do local “AI.” Then once the heavy lifting is done, then I’d imagine all that data is uploaded.

Looks really sleek with the new floating panels, and being able to turn a panel into an icon task manger is still nice, and the new overview window is great for workflow.

However multi monitor support is still garbage. Like 3/4 of programs will never remember their size and position, so you have to make a never ending list of kwin window rules, which then end up affecting other windows you don’t want to. Other things like right click menus will show up on the wrong monitor way off in a corner get old real fast. Its like the cartoon spiderman meme of 3 Spiderman’s pointing at each other. Qt6, Wayland, and kwin all pointing the blame of why its like the way it is, while bug reports rack up another year of no fixes.

HDR having a toggle and working is really nice, but when it was on and I booted up a game, the in game options wouldn’t allow me to turn on HDR.

I just started to daily Bazzite, which is Kinoite but made for gaming. Can confirm it is so reliable it’s crazy. Best fresh install experience by a mile.

So I’m not the only one who feels lost with Bazzite, even after years tinkering with other distros?!

I need to sit down and try to wrap my head around the file structure, it just feels completely different except for the home dir.

I’ve distro hopped a decent amount over the years, and bazzite is easily the best fresh install and ready to game experience. I am all team red, though. Added bonus you no longer have to worry about updates or breaking things.

I agree, but if you’re like me, situations arise where I’m not at home, and unexpectedly spending money. Being able to look at my bank on my phone in the moment helps me judge if what I’m about to do is worth it.

What’s wild, is they released a lengthy post on their anti-cheat this month. At one point they mention that current vanguard has been bypassed/defeated…a bunch of lazy clowns.

It also shows LoL’s old anti-cheat, you’d get cheaters/scripters/bots anywhere from 1 in 15 games, to 1 in 5, depending on your region. The higher your rank, the more you’d run into cheaters, too, by a lot. Riot games is just a cesspool of free 2 play trash that breeds the most toxic of people.

In a YouTube video I watched last year, a group came up with an extremely good A.I. powered anti-cheat. The kicker is this, they couldn’t sell it to a single major studio, because said studios implied that their player count would suffer way too much.

None of these studio’s give a single removed about competitive integrity. Just stfu, keep playing 100s of matches in an obviously broken rank/match making system to slightly rank up, and give us $.

Secure boot and TPM are only needed for vanguard if you’re on W11. On 10 there are no prerequisites.

That’s just a massive book with extra steps lol

Looking through their GitHub I found a thread about their progress for v14, and found someone who is compiling the v14 testing builds:

So far I’ve only had 1 very minor visual bug with a widget after a week of use. I can highly recommend trying it out.

There’s something that broke/bugged launchers starting in Android 13 that launchers have “fixed,” despite people still complaining. Sometimes you go to your task viewer to switch to, or close some apps; sometimes the card/app you wanted would be transparent, and would lock up and freeze the phone. The Only fix is to use the side button to lock the phone, then unlock and close the app/tab. This happened to me on all launchers, betas included, until Lawnchair 14. It’s been too long since I did OG Lawnchair from an app store, but this new one has things like supporting icons dynamically changing colors with material you. I personally like material you, and using their second app Lawnicons has been refreshing. Every other launcher would fail to color/theme some icons, or not change colors with a new wallpaper, etc. Not to mention it still feels super fast and slick to use.

They claim 14 is soon™. I just found a GitHub this past week that compiles version 14 testing. So far this has been the best launcher I’ve used in years, easily.

Music.exe, ahhh the good ol’ limewire days of being too young and novice to not know better.

I second this, but atomic/silverblue.

At this point, if you’re not trolling, go look at plasma 6 and its features. 🤷‍♂️

Lmao, I don’t know how else to word this? Here we go…

It is the case that OP wants to use features such as VRR, and HDR. It is also the case that gnome supports neither. And also the case that KDE now has official support for both VRR, and HDR. Thus, OP has made the choice to use KDE, because it suits his gaming needs.

KDE now supports those things…

Should you post those concerns into their github? Maybe they don’t know?

I reinstalled EndeavourOS on my main desktop yesterday, fresh install, just for Plasma 6. So far, big worth it even though I have a lot to set up still.

I second both your recommendations. I JUST installed Bazzite, which is a tweaked Silverblue for gaming, yesterday. I can already tell atomic style distros are going to be the future.
