I made an effort to learn it. In 2000. Again in 2012 or whenever the last big push was. If past is prologue, I may need to learn it again soon. 😆

FWIW, I’ve got an i7-8700k with an RTX 3080. I initially had two major issues when I replaced Windows with Bazzite:

1. Steam doesn’t do great with libraries on NTFS partitions. Supposedly there are workarounds, but I couldn’t get them to work for me. I had to reformat a couple drives as ext4 (and do a bunch of file management in the process) before things would play nice.

2. I had my CPU overclocked to 4.8 GHz in Windows. BG3 kept crashing on me on Bazzite. Finally occurred to me to drop the overclock and I’ve played 40+ hours since, solid as a rock. Performance is comparable to Windows with OC. GPU temps are consistently better than Windows. Only thing I’m missing is HDR.

Bonus: GreenWithEnvy (for GPU fan curve) won’t run in a Wayland session yet, apparently, so I’ve been running under X11 instead.

Hope this helps. YMMV. Happy gaming, whatever OS you use!

I’m brand new to Fedora, having installed Bazzite myself just a few days ago. Did you happen to encounter an issue logging out of KDE? https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/cannot-shutdown-logout-on-fedora-40/119070

This is my poor wife. I’ve never gotten to the bottom of it but it’s clear she suffered some math-related trauma. I’ve learned to tread carefully.

Replaced Windows with Bazzite on my last personal box on Saturday morning. Played BG3 on that box the rest of the weekend. ❤️

It’s pretty telling IMO that thousands of people spent millions of hours making it such that a user can play a Windows game without Windows. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They’ve started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It’s only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that’s where we’re at now.

I get the sense that a lot of commenters here never had an openmailbox dot org experience.

How do you write an article like this without mentioning Tommy Tallarico? 😆

Edit: Another article does mention Tallarico.

Interestingly, though, this deal doesn’t include the Intellivision Amico. Atari stated that Intellivision would rebrand itself and continue to work on developing the console project that was originally scheduled to launch in 2020 and was once headed up by “prolific” video game composer Tommy Tallarico. Atari said that the company formerly known as Intellivision would rebrand itself and that it would grant licensing rights to the new company permitting it to feature Intellivision games on the console.

Eric’s wife became co-chair of the RNC in March. It’s MAGA all the way down.

Larian Studios, the Good Guy Greg to Microsoft’s (and Ubisoft’s and EA’s) Scumbag Steve.

LMAO are you trying to get me divorced

Interesting! I didn’t know this was a thing.

Solid suggestions! I’ll keep at it.

My dodgy friend, I have appealed to my wife not once or twice but three times that we should drop all our subs and return to those placid waters that I sailed in my younger days. She has yet to relent in her view that we should stay on the right side of the law. I look for any opportunity to press my advantage. Do you have a suggestion as to the perfect argument that will sway her?

I was already sick of all the freaking Taylor Swift ads but Roku announcing that video ads are coming to the home screen was the last straw for me. Finally set up a Pi-hole and Roku ads are gone. I know it’s an ongoing war and this is just one battle, but damn it’s nice right now. I even became a supporter on Patreon. ❤️

I still run uBlock Origin on all my browsers, though.

On the new clean profile I created in v126.0, I didn’t have a gfx.webrender.enabled and gfx.webrender.all was set to false. Changing gfx.webrender.all to true didn’t really change the behavior. Nvidia control panel only shows super resolution active when full screen. Watching the same test video as yesterday at the same requested resolution. I did notice that if I set the Quality back to auto, with gfx.webrender.all = true, it picked 2 today instead of 1. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes. He can sense when I post anything remotely respectful of women because his pee pee hurts. 😆

Sorry. Should have mentioned. OS is Windows 11 Pro 23H2 22631.3593. Also, video driver is Nvidia Game Ready Driver 552.44.

From my testing today I found that this actually works pretty well (though not in FF haha). See my top level comment this thread.

I set this up today on my work laptop with (internal) RTX3060. According to the status indicators on the Adjust Video Image Settings page in the Nvidia control panel, super resolution is working in Chrome v124.x and v125.x but not at all in Firefox v126.0. My eyes tell me the same thing. I was able to play a 480p YT stream in Chrome and it looked surprisingly good on my external 1440p monitor. In FF it looks like ass. I may set up a secondary profile in FF just to make sure I haven’t changed some config setting over the years that would prevent it from working right in FF. Will update if I find anything interesting.

Edit: Just tried this again with YouTube in FF v126.0 with a clean profile. It does work, but only when the video is full screen (which makes sense I guess, but the behavior is different from Chrome) and I had to manually set the quality level in the Nvidia control panel. In Chrome the auto setting used level 4 (the highest level), but in FF the auto setting only used level 1.
