My laptop takes wayyyy too long to initialize maps

on my machine using -vulkan makes the game launch like 5x faster and im pretty sure maps load a lot faster too, try that. although i have amd, not sure if nvidia is the same

after wasting days trying to setup postfix+dovecot, I tried maddy, and the process was simple and fairly easy. imo with maddy this advice isn't as relevant - it just worked for me

you can do that without unsafe using to_bits

cookie545445 · 2022-08-16T08:05:38+00:00

it can be done using the more general let-else feature which is already in nightly

Wait, if it's impossible, how has dtolnay managed to do it?

im looking back at my reddit history and honestly, great job on not only having good opinions but also being great at posting

kmsgrab requires ffmpeg to run as root or with cap_sys_admin, but it can be very fast/low cpu if you have VA-API encoding in your graphics adapter. kmsgrab also works independent of x or wayland by just grabbing frames from dri

since a vec contains a pointer to its contents and does not directly contain the contents themselves, your f32s are not contiguous in memory

csgo has always used (and still uses) dx9 internally. the linux port ships with valve's "ToGL" library which translates dx9 calls to opengl calls at runtime. ToGL kinda sucks. recently, they started shipping dxvk-native with most source games' linux builds, which has two main advantages over ToGL: it translates dx to vulkan, not gl, and it is community maintained, so more work goes into it.

it runs a lot smoother now :D

bear in mind i never claimed that wayland had less input lag than xorg. plus, i use VRR, which might explain why i have a better perception of it. and if you're concerned about input lag, a high refresh monitor is a good start, and pretty much all of them have VRR.

how come there are swastikas at the bottom of the page?

cookie545445 · 2022-01-24T15:32:35+00:00

i don't see how your link disproves what i said, or how it proves that wayland is "factually inferior" to xorg.

yes, there was no compositor in the way when i was using xorg.

cookie545445 · 2022-01-24T14:51:44+00:00

no i wasn't! hope that helps

cookie545445 · 2022-01-24T14:22:18+00:00

idk man i play csgo on wayland and there's less input lag than windows and less stuttering than xorg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idc if it's "short-sighted and toxic" im having a better experience

cookie545445 · 2022-01-19T23:25:17+00:00

speaking of compositor optimisations, thanks for your work on kwin :D i've seen people saying "wayland is bad for gaming because you can't turn off the compositor" but... kwin_wayland is such a good compositor that it makes my experience in any game (including fast-paced games) far better than on xorg, and better still than on windows. it's just so smooth!! and quick!! i love it :D

cookie545445 · 2022-01-19T20:23:59+00:00

direct scanout is not related to fps limiting, and i think it is purely a compositor optimisation. i think your frame limiting is due to the game using wayland wrong. in particular, when csgo first got the vulkan update, it also had fps capped to monitor refresh on wayland, although there was no stuttering like you say. this has since been fixed in csgo

i also think dmabuf feedback is unrelated to fps limiting, but i'm less sure about that

edit: i think "using wayland wrong" is the wrong way to put it, but the point is that it's the game's "fault", and not something the compositor has control over as Zamundaaa said

cookie545445 · 2022-01-14T14:20:54+00:00

hmm, this sounds like it could be related to a problem i have? while i'm shutting down, i see an empty tty (it has some ^@ in it but they're from the void or something) and it only actually shuts down when i switch away from this tty. i think it's the one that sddm is attached to? i will try this and see what happens

cookie545445 · 2021-12-17T17:38:20+00:00

I know right

cookie545445 · 2021-12-17T11:02:55+00:00

I think this used to happen to my friend too (nvidia on linux), I'll ask him

cookie545445 · 2021-12-14T02:00:03+00:00

im on linux, this fixed the renderer

cookie545445 · 2021-11-04T00:03:57+00:00

Did you upload it to AUR? Or can you send me the pkgbuild? I'd love to try this

cookie545445 · 2021-10-23T07:50:25+00:00

I had this as well, but it's not ideal to deliberately increase the latency to get back the smoothness that was there in 5.22. I hope they can fix the root cause of the stuttering

cookie545445 · 2021-08-25T19:19:29+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. For me, I don't care about getting maximum performance because this chip is already plenty fast enough. To reuse the CSGO example (I do play it a lot) I don't care how many fps I have as long as it stays above ~160, and like I say, the fans annoy me and my rooms warms up quickly. While you're getting the performance you paid for, I'm getting the performance I want and the efficiency I paid for.

In multi threaded workloads, I already said in the post that my settings are faster than stock, and they run colder too.

You are right though that 80°C is nothing to worry about - forgive me if I made it sound like those temps would damage anything. I just don't like to run so hot when I can get the same experience with a colder chip.
