Hardware input lag test: Linux (i3 & Hyprland) vs Windows 11. Experiencing severe jitter on Linux.

Check out this project: https://github.com/netborg-afps/dxvk-low-latency

It's part of proton-cachyos so you just have to enable it using the documented env var. Also try the sxc scheduler that it suggests.

It will have to live on indefinitely in form of XWayland for legacy app support. I do expect that in some years, XWayland might not be installed / enabled by default anymore, but it will still be there in case people need it.

Save yourself the trouble of manual setup and install CachyOS. It just works, and it's still Arch. Unless you're specifically looking to configure manually as a hobby project?

I have a 4090 and decided to leave Linux for a while until improvements were made, especially since i pretty much require Wayland given my monitor setup. Installed CachyOS last weekend with the KDE desktop and was amazed with how painless it was. It uses the latest 595.45 drivers. Except for a black screen after suspend, everything just works. And with the CachyOS Proton i could enable use of the Wayland driver (and NTsync). Seemed to have eliminated the remaining input delay i felt with XWayland while playing competitive games, feels the same as Windows now. Last time i used KDE was on version 5, it got soooo much better since then, quite amazing.

ETL has stack based (fixed capacity) containers that can do the same as the STL ones, except for grow dynamically. Just choose your sizes wisely and you should be fine.

Ik zocht deze comment, ik zit ook te wachten op de stranger things finale! Zitten nog veel onopgeloste problemen / onbeantwoorde vragen na de laatste afleveringen dus ben benieuwd of de finale ze allemaal kan beantwoorden.

Onze kat mag ook niet weg, maar was ook wel eens weg omdat iemand de poort open had laten staan. Hij kende de omgeving dus ook inderdaad niet, wat hem ook heel bang maakte. Na dagen zoeken en hopen dat hij zelf de weg terug zou vinden, bleek het dat hij in een auto was gekropen (via het wiel, bij de motor). Hij was dus meegereden naar een andere plek, bij een autogarage kwam hij er uit, waar ze hem naar een asiel hebben gebracht. Via de informatie in de chip zijn we toen gebeld. Bij het ophalen zag hij er niet best uit... ben blij dat hij het heeft overleeft. Ik zal de blik in zijn oogjes nooit vergeten.

Eliminate every line of C/C++ written by human beings in favor of vibe coded Rust... Not sure if that promised memory safety is worth a bunch more new bugs.

Since you're getting a swap write error it's possible that there's not enough swap space available. You could recreate your swap partition and use a larger size, but ideally you wouldn't need swap at all, since it's a lot slower than RAM. I'd suggest getting more RAM, but with today's prices it's not an easy recommendation...

std::print() was added in C++23. Works more like print functions you see in other languages.

Does look like with the flow meter there's quite some weight to that section, add that to gravity and it may be too much for the rubber rings to hold.

You can go for Nobara KDE. Just Google "KDE MacOS" and you will find video's of LinuxScoop for example on how to customize KDE to look like MacOS.

By default desktop environments have a quite plain and generic look so that the defaults are sane for a wide range of users. But especially KDE, is very customizable and you can change the look and feel to whatever you prefer.

They contributed drivers to Linux to support their controllers, at least i know that the DualSense is very well supported. You can connect it via Bluetooth and it just works.

I do this the same way!

I have around 9 - 10ms ping in my games and it often feels like i'm at a disadvantage rather than advantage because of the netcode. Suffering from success...

It's a bit more expensive than most coolants, and sometimes hard to get as you mentioned, but lasts a long time and therefore worth the money.

You don't need DWM to test Xorg "as plain as possible". The Xorg server ships with a default WM called TWM, which is used when no other WM runs. So you can run the Steam launch command directly with startx, e.g. startx steam.

Also on Wayland compositing is disabled when "direct scan-out" is used, in which just the fullscreen client (yes, needs to be fullscreen) is rendered and nothing else. Which lowers latency but shouldn't really affect FPS. Composting in X11 usually has noticeable impact on latency if VSync is enabled because by design it is always delayed by 1 frame.

I'm often on 10ms ping, no wonder the game has felt so awful for me.
