The article doesn’t mention how it compensates for different keyboards. Like wouldn’t different switches and wear change the sound?

Estonia sometimes gives out honorary citizenship for some stuff and if it was up to me one would go to Snowden. I have doubts that Russia would let him go at this point though.

If he had citizenship in a EU country he would be safe. EU countries don’t extradite EU citizens to the US. It would be a whole can of political worms to not extradite a US citizen to the US.

Depends on the moon stage, your horoscope and your palm reading.

I have tried it on several setups and I get different results every time.

Pop_OS is a good choice for a gaming machine, it was perfect for like 4 years until I upgraded my 1080TI for a 7900XTX and the Mesa version was too old to run it at the time so I switched to Manjaro.

Personally I hate most Arch based distros with a burning passion. Like I have used arch wiki to install Arch at least 3 times after it had removed the bed during an update. Now if I need to open a terminal to install a distro I’m not installing it. I just wish the people maintaining Manjaro weren’t so incompetent and also include common codecs (h264 and h265) in Mesa like every other distro.

It’s been over like 10 years but it has gone something like this Windows -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Mint -> Windows -> Ubuntu -> Solus -> Fedora -> Arch -> Manjaro -> Windows -> POP_OS -> Arch -> Manjaro

Ooo, native Wayland support, now only about half my software will be running through xwayland once Proton is updated as well.

Yea, my experience with Wayland has been that things work but most work through Xwayland so I may as well keep using X11 anyways. If things aren’t easy to port over it will hurt adoption.

Huh weird, I had the exact same issue on Windows and I solved it by switching to Linux. It was triggered by using too much bandwidth on local network so transferring stuff between my fileserver was impossible.

Didn’t some distro remove hardware transcoding support for some non-free codecs for AMD hardware? I remember being really pissed at Manjaro for that a while ago when I noticed Plex was devouring my CPU. Maybe something related to that if you got AMD and hardware acceleration is forced?

I had to buy new speakers to get Pipewire or Pulseaudio to work with 5.1 speakers as the channels were completely messed up otherwise. Worked perfectly on windows and the speakers work perfectly hooked up to my TV as well.

Virtual 5.1 isn’t as good but it at least works.

I rawdog every single command, I use no aliases at all.

Why is the void consuming your monitor?

And that would be great if/when it happens but currently Wayland offers very little over X11 to the average user. Better multi monitor support is like the only thing.

The only advantage for the end user is better support for multi monitor systems with different refresh rates. If you don’t have problems with that there’s no real advantage in upgrading. Also avoid using Wayland on systems with an Nvidia GPU.

Nope, steam deck is X11, just checked mine.

Yea, most people use the default, like I use Wayland on my desktop which is almost exclusively used for games so 99.9% of applications launch through xwayland. I’m saying Wayland doesn’t have advantages over X11 for the average user and for anyone with an Nvidia GPU it is an active hindrance.

Never said that. It’s probably going to be better at some point but for the average user X11 is still a better option.

Sure and X11 actually works with it’s GPU while Wayland causes more issues than its worth. I’m not gonna use software that locks off my GPU especially if that software has no advantages for me.

Last time I tried that it just launched through xwayland. And currently my laptop is using X11 because Nvidia GPU so I can’t re-test.
