Also running into some power issues. Getting really weird behavior where it will run at full force for a bit then drop down to ~60fps, but at really regular intervals. (nixos, 6.14 rc6 cachyos, mesa-git, linux-firmware 20250311) Some kind of throttling oscillation maybe? Saw this in Cyberpunk, MH Wilds, AC EVO, so mostly intensive games. (Was seeing something similar on windows with MH so idk.) Minecraft with shaders didn’t have this behavior.

Dunno. Seems like the kind of thing that will get sorted out eventually.

Edit: this turned out to be thermal throttling from how my PC was set up.

I’ve had some luck with vesktop’s streaming but it just doesn’t work for me half the time and I have to fully restart it to fix it. I’ll go through the flow and click to start streaming and nothing will happen. With the latest update for regular discord it will always stream but has had issues with switching windows/audio not always working.

Guess we’ll get there eventually.

Seems imminent https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14

Basically waiting on some implementations to get ready to merge if I’m reading it right.

That would definitely make sense for it’s own video but I could see them wanting to focus on just SteamOS if they plan on having it be a regular stat when they do benchmarks

GN could pick any Linux distro and get metrics but they’ll want to be consistent and pick what will be most relevant.

For most people SteamOS will be the pick when moving away from windows pretty much entirely because it’s “Valve’s” OS, who are a known entity compared to “whoever makes this Bazzite thing” (or whatever other distro). This will give them more confidence to switch as they are familiar with/trust Valve to some extent and know that they’re going to make sure their os works and can play games as well as can be expected on Linux. Obviously we know you can do it on other distros but switching your OS is a big change and people will want more assurance.

GN could cover performance on other distros but I think that would probably just be noise to people who are on the fence/not that interested compared to “here’s how things work on Valve’s SteamOS”. (Also probably just provides a clear starting point and direction for GN)

Isn’t that the global market share of Linux itself

Did this release see sched_ext merged? Was looking forward to messing around with that.

If you’ve got an extra still I’d be down

Nice! Always cool to get more rally options

Their logos are always great. Took a class on Vulcan in college and managed to snag one of these .

Should probably wear it more often but it was probably too big for me even at the time

Another one I found: Which is just this I think https://medium.com/@azalben/re-can-i-drink-this-delicious-sounding-bleach-8b9db1326f9c

Granted I’m baiting it and it does say not to drink it.

I doubt the goal is to produce easily understood bash, otherwise you’d just write bash to begin with. It’s probably more similar to a typescript transpiler that takes in a language with different goals and outputs something the interpreter can execute quickly (no comment on how optimized this thing is).

I believe version 555 of the Nvidia driver is supposed to get the explicit sync patch.

Nixos is immutable to force system configuration through the declarative nix configs/build system not to limit tinkering.

All I had to do was remove one field to do with docker swarm which I don’t think I was using anyway.

Wheel of time was so close too. If they just didn’t fuck with the script so much

Been gaming on nixos for a month or two and haven’t had any issues AFAICT

Worth considering holding onto the Nvidia card to do a vfio windows VM as a fallback for stuff that doesn’t run well through wine/proton. It wasn’t too hard to setup and its nice to just toss all the games with kernel anticheat/adobe shit into.
