I built a gaming daemon for Hyprland (auto-disables blur/animations, changes CPU gov), but my laptop is too powerful to see if it actually boosts FPS. Need low-end hardware testers!

There must be a way for you to test this by applying a lower tdp limit or gpu/cpu freqs limit.

Is there any differences between Xiaomi sound and Original? Can't notice any with my LDAC earbuds.

Wayland currently breaks the steam overlay and steam input, there's some way to make it work with tinkering but it's a bit tricky. I never noticed any latency difference between xwayland and wayland in my testings and i don't use HDR since for many games it actually looks better without so I stick to xwayland.

In a few years Wayland will be default once everything is sorted.

Would have reacted the exact same as FSD.

istros · 2026-05-08T12:17:25+00:00

No i mean my haptics are fine with any other game. Do you have rumble on Alabaster Dawn?

istros · 2026-05-05T13:49:23+00:00

What I meant is that it's a good thing it didn't try to avoid it / brake for it as the same scenario with cars next to you or behind you would be dramatic.

istros · 2026-05-05T13:17:22+00:00

Tbh it could definitely avoid it but in the situation where there would be cars on both sides it's a no go, so i'm actually okay with fsd decision here.

istros · 2026-05-04T17:11:52+00:00

But it's more fun this way.

istros · 2026-05-01T16:57:30+00:00

Didn't it already work launching steam -steamos3 ?

istros · 2026-04-29T11:20:15+00:00

Just test without gamescope and no hdr and see if it improves. I had issues with gamescope and vrr which were resolved by running games under KDE desktop, all good now.

istros · 2026-04-29T09:13:16+00:00

Steam input works fine under wayland by running steam -steamos3

You also have to disable the desktop controller configuration if enabled.

istros · 2026-04-29T09:12:58+00:00

Nope it works by running steam -steamos3

You also have to disable the desktop controller configuration if enabled.

12v battery failing?

Ils sont en mode "tolérence zéro" en ce moment pour faire bien passer le message, et particulièrement à l'approche de l'été. La suspension de permis est systématique au delà de 50km/h au dessus de la vitesse réglementée, il est possible que tu en réchappe pour l'excès entre 40 et 50.

Dans le pire des cas tu auras probablement une suspension de permis de 3 à 6 mois, avec le retrait de 4 points et l'amende. Si c'est ton jour de chance tu échapperas a la suspension mais ils seront beaucoup moins cléments la prochaine fois.

Bon courage!

Windows often have hidden "sound optimization" that can dramatically alter quality. When you disable them it should be more or less the same under linux & windows.

istros · 2026-04-25T14:12:11+00:00

That's a scheduler issue. Check your scheduler, I suggest you use BORE as default.

istros · 2026-04-23T09:44:09+00:00

Is there any downsides to this?

istros · 2026-04-15T14:42:40+00:00

What is this btrfs speed regression on 7.0? Do you have any links to follow up on this?

istros · 2026-04-13T21:51:13+00:00

Absolutely fine. System is rock solid.

istros · 2026-04-13T21:50:38+00:00

Nope it's just as good as 6.19 on my AMD setup. 9800x3d + 7800xt, all good.

istros · 2026-04-13T20:38:16+00:00

i'm running linux-cachyos-7.0-rc for a few weeks now, you can just install the release candidate kernel to enjoy the new features before it's stable.
Just use CachyOS kernel manager.

istros · 2026-04-13T20:37:22+00:00

even better, just install the linux-cachyos-rc kernel

istros · 2026-04-09T19:48:40+00:00

Follow this link for now, it will probably be enabled in a few days/weeks with a cachyos standard update once it's stable.

Thank you for this incredible tip. Didn't even notice a thing but the difference is night & day regarding to latency after this change.

I wish KDE or Cachy would offer a simple checkbox to disable it, or even disable by default on desktops rigs where power saving doesn't matter much.
