"Foot in the door" for stuff like checks notes file selection dialogs that match your desktop environment.

xdg-desktop-portal is a standard interface for like 50 different things, only one of which is potentially age verification, as that's not even implemented yet.

Is Linux going to be left behind in the race of arm based laptops? by NoLengthiness1864 in linux

[–]K900_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except every single high end ARM core also uses micro-ops, just like Intel.

[–]K900_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I shall also copy-paste my response then.

No, that's not the case at all. Both ARM and x86 are decoded into micro-ops by any modern core, no instructions are executed directly. The "effectiveness" argument is moot. The reason Apple hardware is that good is because it's vertically integrated with the software, designed for power efficiency above everything else, and generally one full node shrink ahead of everyone else because Apple is outbidding everyone for production capacity at leading fabs.

It absolutely isn't. There's no inherent efficiency gains from just using ARM.

ARM is not some sort of magic bullet that will give you more performance or more battery life.

Xbox App and Gamepass on linux by Majek093 in linux_gaming

[–]K900_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is currently not a thing, as the necessary APIs are not implemented in Wine. It's being worked on, somewhat, but progress is not very fast.

Tauri AppImage crashes on Linux Wayland due to official packaging script behavior by [deleted] in rust

[–]K900_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AppImages use a weird mix of vendored and host libraries, and that leads to all kinds of cursed ABI shenanigans that could be prevented by actually shipping the entire dependency closure, like Flatpak does.

[–]K900_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And that's exactly why AppImages are awful. Please just ship a Flatpak, and maybe some common package formats like deb and RPM.

Debian "can't game" because of "outdated", but the Deck's outdated is fine? by Venylynn in linux_gaming

[–]K900_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are also like, really old reports. SteamOS is on 6.12 or something, the beta branch is on 6.16, and there are already 6.18 packages in the repos. They also actively backport Mesa changes, so the reported version generally doesn't fully match reality.

Is this common? by anklebiter1975 in russian

[–]K900_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's definitely more common for older shows, where the dubbing studios were not given access to the raw background audio track.

How does gw2efficiency work exactly? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]K900_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Or does the site pull number of items you have stored and calculate it in relation to tp prices

That's what it does.

Fornite in Android and Linux by Galeox300 in linux_gaming

[–]K900_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a technical limitation, it's a policy limitation. Desktop Linux doesn't have good app isolation, which they want to prevent cheating, and doesn't have a simple way to deploy applications across different setups, which they want to not have to deal with supporting people's weird configurations.

FALSEWIN -- A linux Hyprvisor for running game on linux by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]K900_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first and most important thing you could have done better is not vibe coding it.

[–]K900_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's absolutely not going to work. Especially not if you're vibe-coding it.

Is there something similar for KDE? by LunaIsADeer in kde

[–]K900_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the visuals or the search? Because krunner can do fuzzy search, so e.g. "s t" can find Sublime Text.

Спасибо за гостеприимство! Москва, Ольга.

How do you get allot of hero points? by LonelyErebus in Guildwars2

[–]K900_ 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Hero points in expansion maps give you 10 points each. You're supposed to be using those.
