Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•PSA: Flatpak likes to mess with GPU drivers. If you experience terrible performance with Flatpak Heroic, try thisEnglish
3·7 months agoYeah I also thought the same thing. It’s interesting that it still works, just really poorly.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•PSA: Flatpak likes to mess with GPU drivers. If you experience terrible performance with Flatpak Heroic, try thisEnglish
18·7 months agoThis is because flatpak has a layer of isolation and installs its own copy of the drivers. If your system driver gets updated, then the flatpak one isn’t matching.
If you update your system, you should always update everything, including flatpak.
The reason is because company decisions are largely driven by investors, and investors want their big investments in AI to return something.
Investors want constant growth, even if it must be shoehorned.
Arch is not the most widely supported distro (as in supported by the creators of programs). You will see it supported most by some of the more indie open source programs, but beyond that, Debian and Ubuntu are more likely to be explicitly supported.
Arch definitely requires you to read. It’s a distro for those who want to assume greater amount of choice and freedom in their system. If you prefer an out of the box experience, try another distro.
Arch’s limitation is that you kinda have to stick with the latest version of things. This is usually a good limitation, and imo better than the limitation of having to stick with an old frozen version.
Depending on the package, trying an older version may not work or even break the system if dependencies or reverse dependencies are expecting it to be a certain version, which is often the case.

1·10 months agoI agree, but we don’t have to convince anyone. A large minority would still be a huge achievement. In fact we don’t even need more than that.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux is now the best gaming system.English
3·11 months agoDepending on your distro, that command likely has a GUI alternative. It just depends on the distro implementation, the disparity is a weakness of GUIs in general. instructions for windows won’t match MacOS or others, and sometimes even older versions of windows

3·11 months agoTry other games? Whatever kind of game you like, there’s likely a less invasive alternative. We’re no longer in the era of game scarcity.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux is now the best gaming system.English
2·11 months agoI agree with your first paragraph, if you just got hooked to these games and want to compromise your own privacy and security by playing these games, that is your own trade offs.
But your second paragraph claims that not compromising security and privacy means you have to deal with cheaters. That is false. The games who support Linux do not have more cheaters. In fact, there’s plenty of cheaters all over the anti Linux games, such as destiny and league.
Also there are plenty of multi-player and competitive games on Linux. It’s only a few who do not (who admittedly also happen to be some of the more popular titles). I only agree with this sentiment if you’re hooked onto the specific games that are anti Linux, not the competitive multi-player genre.
Anyone looking for the best package manager needs to look only at portage/emerge and nix

None of their expenses mention developer pay or salaries. Is the entire thing voluntary?
