Which desktop environment are you using? If it’s gnome I think you can just go into mouse settings and disable the controller. That won’t disable it entirely though, just it acting as a mouse. Kde has something similar

I think experimental just rebased onto wine 10 so there may have been some regressions. Could also be completely unrelated, lot of moving parts.

That’s compared to default wine which doesn’t have f-sync. Compared to proton there probably won’t be much of a difference.

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.

Phoronix comments continue to be demented

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.

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

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

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

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

I wanted to try Ubuntu on a live disk back in highschool (~2012) but ended up wiping the drive on my laptop. Had to ask a friend who knew Linux for help so I could actually use it. That was eventually followed by debian and Manjaro. Later I tried arch on my desktop, got tired of that and switched back to windows for a few years. I’ve been running nixos for a while now and have been really enjoying it.

I use it with gnome on nixos without any problems AFAICT. Had the explicit sync issue with Nvidia initially but I ended up buying an rx6800 to use as the host GPU when I set up win11 with KVM. Been completely fine since.
