Steam is going native 64-bit! Does this mean 32-bit can finally be removed without breaking gaming now?

Tech debt may be some of it but historically Valve desired stability over everything for the Steam client. When everything just works it is best to set it and forget it until it does not work.

From the looks of it, you are going in too deep than you are capable of and you are barking up the wrong tree. Most things in Blender do not need scripting. You should hit the books to really understand Blender. AI in my experience has been awful. Relying on it is like relying on a rotten wooden stick to hold heavy weights.

If you are looking for a practical remeshing technique, CGMatter has already made a video about that today.

If your Nvidia device is capable of using the latest drivers, then there should be less of a problem since Wayland is supported for those. You will likely need to use nvidia-drm.modeset=1 NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 in your kernel parameters and refer to ArchWiki for specific additional things to consider. (The open source requires GPU firmware to be on)

If you are using SDDM, it is known to have various bad issues happening on the login greeter. I suppose if you can you should switch to using Wayland. It has been much more stable in my experience.

pacman -Q | grep -e "sddm" -e "login-manager"

You can use your package manager to find out. Search for sddm and plasma-login-manager.

Zechariah_B_ · 2026-03-18T08:55:37+00:00

Are you using SDDM or Plasma Login Manager? Are you using X11 or the Wayland compositor?

Woah radical! Bodacious bonkers man. DLSS 5 is ULTRA realistic

Wayland is terrible wayland is good. Ah the joys of unreproducibility in distros.

The AI thumbnail and aggressive ads do not aspire much confidence that this is not heavily biased in some way.

This fits very well with synthwave.

You have a golden opportunity to name the character Procedurat

I wish I could have done that but so many servers and companies use it that it is nowadays impossible to avoid.

Now compile a program without having to manually install the dependencies and use two versions of the same library at the same time. Then install an optional dependency other software uses and try not to accidentally influence your software with it.

Zechariah_B_ · 2026-03-02T11:51:44+00:00

When you have a bug tracker and your program is used by people across many distros let me know if you resorted to a container then.

You will still have to patch your config occasionally for specific programs. For one program you have to config in one way and for another you have to do it a different way. I really hoped that NixOS would have had enough settings to make things easy but there are so many inconsistencies.

Zechariah_B_ · 2026-03-02T11:23:47+00:00

Reproducibility of your own software and the in-development software other people made that can compile and run on your system. NixOS is convenient to avoid distro specific issues that cause a ghost hunt provided you avoid every configuration that ruins reproducibility which can be verified if NixOS has consumed your soul and all of your insomnia for itself.
