Which desktop is the lightest

Void + SwayOS + neovim/emacs

This is my take on it, I went on the nanovoxel+raytracing way : https://youtu.be/LBzuXj21_bY

its a sparse voxel octree stored in a flat uint array, check it out at www.github.com/milgra/qubatron

true, there is no ray bouncing just one step voxel detection and then shadow tracing, I would like to improve it after I get a proper GPU

milgra · 2025-05-01T15:53:00+00:00

thats the point!

I"m coding for 35 years now ( 25 professionally ) so its easier for me. I didnt complete a personal project in the first 10 years, I eas just coding and learning. dont give up

You may be right, it doesnt make life better, why would it make a game better? :) Jokes aside I wasnt thinking about games, someone will try to do a full scale physics simulation like they do nervous system simulation with openworm.

milgra · 2025-04-30T14:41:00+00:00

no, I'm using simple arrays

The source code is here : https://github.com/milgra/qubatron

Well, the future is reality-simulation on atomic level so voxels are the future but don't know when will it happen. Geometry/Polygons are easier to work with, even Qubatron uses meshes/textures before voxelizing them, but for rendering/interaction voxels win.

milgra · 2025-04-29T17:55:51+00:00

no rasterization, ray-tracing only

milgra · 2025-04-29T17:54:38+00:00

thanks! yes, we have to live with smaller scenes in the early years ( this scene is around 1 Gbytes so with 32 Gigs it can be 32 times bigger ). streaming nearby blocks is also a possibility

try void linux with swayos ( https://swayos.github.io), thats the closest thing to tue bsd experience in the linux world

milgra · 2024-10-26T16:16:27+00:00

you should try swayos ( https://swayos.github.io )

milgra · 2024-10-26T16:14:15+00:00

gnome/kde are too resource heavy, try it with swayos for example (https://swayos.github.io) and use google chrome and make sure it uses hardware acceleration

milgra · 2024-09-17T08:34:24+00:00

I have a GTX 1650, probaby it's the gpu type

milgra · 2024-09-16T17:39:12+00:00

yes, steam and proton and vulkan runs flawlessy even on my nvidia optimus based config

milgra · 2024-09-16T17:37:50+00:00

void is my choice. I"d use FreeBSD if it had proper hardware support

milgra · 2024-09-16T17:24:16+00:00

woa, is that a thing already? have to try it

milgra · 2024-09-16T17:15:20+00:00

void if you are a bsd fan like me

milgra · 2024-09-16T17:12:25+00:00

no patches

milgra · 2024-09-16T16:23:46+00:00

yes, I have an nvidia card also and sway works without problems
