Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bitEnglish
11·12 days agoThe runtime is a container with libraries. Proton always runs inside the container by design. The runtime ensures the software environment is predictable, Proton ensures Windows binaries can run (by handling Windows API calls)

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Valve reportedly cooking native Linux version of Half-Life: Alyx, optimized for Steam Frame VREnglish
3·20 days agoFEX will have a performance penalty for CPU bound games (not for graphics if it supports Vulkan (yay passthrough)) so native is better

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Valve says they want SteamOS to be installable on any PCEnglish
2·20 days agoThe compatibility bit is actually not a major problem here, because the target environment for software on SteamOS is actually a portable container environment and not the OS itself.
You can make the Steam Linux runtime work on any distro with Kubernetes or equivalent as long as they support the container image format and dependencies like Vulkan

Linux@programming.dev•Linux 6.19 To Optimize Exiting To User-Space For Restartable Sequences
10·1 month agoIt’s mostly a way to improve coordination around code which uses multiple processor cores, so it will improve multitasking performance for some programs

3·1 month agoAmazon Ring does, not seeing evidence of Wyze doing that (but also no evidence they haven’t, just their claim they require warrants for it)
That’s language specific. In math it’s mostly just a parenthesis
As a reset method it’s worse than having nothing
Punycode isn’t unicode. It maps to unicode. Thus only Punycode aware AND enabled AND non-filtering URL renderers will show emoji
Pin API / ABI versions.
If you’re able to track that…

Linux@programming.dev•GNOME's Glycin Lands "Dramatically Improved" JPEG-XL Image Loading Performance
2·3 months agoHere’s some HTML only tricks to serve a default image plus a fallback image;
This way you can set JPG XL as the default, and a lower quality normal JPG file as the backup (maybe by setting both to the same file size, lol). And then separately give the user a notice (based on feature testing) that their browser doesn’t support JPG XL and that they should request it

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing findsEnglish
21·5 months ago1: SteamOS don’t run unnecessary services in the background. (especially stuff like print services and other random shit)
1b: Even regular Linux, which does run a bunch of extra services, still generally has less overhead because it’s still being optimized for lighter weight systems, and it idles more efficiently too. Meanwhile Windows doesn’t have a good way to tell your printer driver and its corresponding services to shut up when you’re gaming.
2: Antivirus programs
3: Drivers, graphics system. This is both a plus and minus, but for performance mostly plus. More efficient driver model, less overhead again. Sometimes the performance comes from lacking features which doesn’t get executed fully, though. Sometimes it comes from translating to Vulkan, because DirectX has some more overhead (and in these specific cases you can get the same performance boost on Windows by switching to Vulkan).
