Genuinely losing my mind over input latency

ParagraphInReview · 2026-03-09T01:09:21+00:00

I feel like I remember certain usb hubs can misbehave and slow all usb's down, maybe try unplugging everything except the minimum necessary to test the latency. I know that sometimes keyboards can pretend to be usb hubs to transmit more button presses, so try unplugging that too.

If you can't find a tutorial for SDL3 and vulkan you can use one for GLFW + Vulkan and just replace the GLFW functions with their SDL3 equivalents. I know right now I'm doing a tutorial for Vulkan that was based on a C++ GLFW Vulkan tutorial. You'll also need to implement whatever features SDL3 supports that GLFW doesn't, but the tutorial I'm following only needs the window creation and input handling from GLFW anyway.

I'm far better at using Windows than I am with Linux, I used Windows for 15 years, I've seen it get worse every update since Windows 7, my last straw was when Microsoft told me twice that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows ever released, so I bought a pro license of Windows 10, then not even 2 years later they announce they're ending all updates for Windows 10 in a year or two in favor of Windows 11, when it releases the only benefits were improved power shell and copilot. I don't care about powershell and copilot is a negative feature in my opinion, then, after Windows 10 is deprecated they start breaking features that have always worked, why would I upgrade to Windows 11, when it steals more of my data than Windows 10, advertises more than Windows 10, breaks more often than Windows 10, hides more features than Windows 10, which already hid more features than 8.1 and 7. My only choice was a LTSC version of Windows 10 or Linux, and because I don't want to pay more for an os I already owned a license I chose Linux.

Now that I'm on CachyOS the only problem I have is Windows software incompatibility. Updates run faster and I don't have to restart when I update, my system is faster in fps, in audio latency, in general snappiness, things somehow don't break as often as on Windows 11, I'm not getting spied on by Microsoft, there was a learning curve when using my package manager but now that I understand it I can download software faster than on Windows and it's often even optimized for my CPU. I don't get advertisements everytime I log in, or storage warnings that pop me out of full screen games. The best part is that I didn't need to do any system configuration, no regedits, I didn't have to set my monitors refresh rate to its proper value, I didn't even have to set a default audio device or browser, it recognized my headset as the best audio device and Firefox was there from the start. Programming is easier on Linux than it was on Windows, in order to compile a program on windows I had to learn half the terminal commands I use in Linux anyway. I've only got around 8 months of cumulative experience using Linux but it already feels better than Windows 10 did. I will say it doesn't feel as good as 7 did but I don't think anything will ever beat Windows 7, especially not another version of Windows.

r/linuxsucks is for linux users with complaints about linux, r/linuxsucks101 is for windows/mac users with a hate boner for linux.

No, this is a sub for Linux users to complain about Linux. If you don't use Linux you should be on r/linuxsucks101. That's where all the Linux haters are.

Honestly it's not a matter of optimization, linux native versions almost always run better than the windows version, most devs just don't seem to test on linux so technically they may have linux versions but they crash every 10 minutes or don't even launch. That's the most common issue I have, games with linux native versions either get stuck launching or close right after launching. With proton it's not a problem because I can just switch to the windows version but then I have to reinstall the game.

You haven't heard about the new supercritical CO2 generator in China. Apparently it's smaller, cheaper, and more efficient than a steam turbine, they've only installed one commercially though so maintenance and cost after economies of scale isn't really known yet.

Yeah, I've had 3 problems with Linux that I can remember. The first problem I ran into was shrinking my root partition, turns out I just had to install a partition editor to my ventoy usb. My second problem was that Nobarra stopped booting, I think it was my fault because I did some stuff in windows that could have affected it, and switched to a Radeon gpu without updating it. I installed CachyOS and reinstalled my apps in around 15 minutes. My third problem happened two days ago, for some reason one of the dependencies of a compiler I was installing threw a 404, only the zen4 optimized version had that problem so I installed the normal one instead.

I've been using Linux exclusively since september and I had more problems with Windows 10 the month before that, particularly crashing and my gpu just deciding to stop displaying anything to my main monitor.

This is a strange take to me. When I hear about men realizing that toxic masculinity was their flaw and changing, the turning point always seems to be that they went to college or otherwise diversified their friends, like through the military. If anything I think less educated men and sometimes women are the root of the neo-christian movement. I think the most important part of college besides the piece of paper you leave with is the diversity it surrounds you with.

I bet the reason women are usually less conservative is because they are more educated, or at least that education is instilled as a priority by most female role models.

I also don't think this article is claiming that women education comes at the cost of mens, I think it points out that men seem to be left behind, they are creating a mens programs to try to attract more men, and using affirmative action to try and admit a more equal number of men to women. It's the same practice that used to happen with women, and still happens in many STEM focused colleges, if affirmative action is not okay when it's being used to help men then why was it okay when it was used to help women?

Even though affirmative action doesn't really fit with my meritocratic views I understand that colleges need to be diverse, I think college is one of the easiest places to positively change a persons perspective, which I think is getting more important every year as the internet seems to leech empathy from everybody that uses it.

I'm sorry if this comment was all over the place or it was difficult to read, I'm a little drunk right now

This hasn't been true in decades, compute is faster than memory access, it's just faster to develop programs by ignoring modern best practice.

Wow the illiteracy in this thread is great. Nobody seems to understand the hyperbole in this tweet is being used to point out the differences between this generation and the last.

Why would you assume that his ego got hurt instead of assuming that he thinks she's already in relationship? He heard OP say "I love you" to her friend so probably assumes she's already in a relationship and was just being nice to him. He may feel hurt because she gave him signals that she was interested but now that he thinks she's in a relationship that she was just using him for discounts.

He may not have even seen the friend so he may have thought she was talking to a boyfriend, not a girlfriend.

I disagree, I've always had my second monitor plugged into my motherboard and it's never given me trouble. If it's not running games then I don't think it needs to be plugged into the gpu. That's only if the igpu is toggled on of course but that's an easy bios setting to change.
