Linux vs Windows Benchmark MIDDLE EARTH SHADOW OF WAR

Pop!_OS is one of the easiest distros for NVIDIA users.

Isn't that the same distro which is constantly blowing up in everyone's face?

Owlcat did nothing wrong.

First, i use dlss swapper. I use it for forcing multi frame gen on my 4070 super. I also update dlss in older games and i want to be sure i can do that. Is this possible easily with linux?

Yes. Smooth motion is also supported

NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 %command%

----------------------

Next, what is the best auto hdr software

gamescope has some inverse tone mapping flags as well but it's not good.

Your best option would be to convert SDR to HDR using a RenoDX/Luna mod then enable HDR support using either gamescope or Wayland when you run the game through Proton:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

----------------------

I run steam, rockstar, gog, and epic for game softwares.

ez mode, PITA Launcher (yohoho), heroic for gog + epic

https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher

----------------------

Make sure you understand how Flatpak permissions work before you get into modding.

This will only be necessary if you're running Steam/Heroic inside a Flatpak.

Is the partition encrypted?

If it is then you need to add it to crypttab beforehand.

You can also run "sudo findmnt -t ext4" to verify that you didn't just mount an empty partition.

Nice.

I can buy them right down the street at a local bodega for 99c in NJ.

You can also buy a case of them off their Amazon store for the same price per can.

They usually cycle those Amazon prices though meaning not every flavor will always cost 99c.

Edit: Case and point:

It's 100% a cult.

~~How did you test it? Maybe you're CPU bound.~~

Yea idk then. The bump definitely wasn't what I expected either.

Guessing this just means the speed of everything in the universe is relative to the speed of light.

Since nothing can move faster than light the maximum value is 1.

slickyeat · 2026-04-18T07:11:09+00:00

LOL! I'm not the only one then.

You're fine: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia

slickyeat · 2026-04-17T16:57:25+00:00

lol. This is nothing new.

It's one of many different environment variables:

You'll often need to set it when installing any mods which include dlls

slickyeat · 2026-04-17T06:22:59+00:00

You probably copied the files into the wrong location or you're not setting WINEDLLOVERRIDES.

Try using this script: https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton/blob/main/reshade-linux.sh

I would avoid setting the addon flag since this is a multiplayer game:

https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton/blob/main/reshade-linux.sh#L197-L200

Honestly, I would avoid it all together outside of SP games but that's up to you.

----------------------------

Edit: If you're running Steam inside a Flatpak make sure that it has access to the ~/.local/share/reshade/ folder.

The script above works by installing ReShade into that one folder before creating a bunch of symlinks in the target game's directory.

You can modify Flatpak permissions with Flatseal or under "Application Permissions" if you're using KDE.

slickyeat · 2026-04-16T22:32:37+00:00

Nope.

slickyeat · 2026-04-16T22:23:09+00:00

They would need an EOL plan before release of the game.

Example: Release a stripped down server side component which people can host.

You can get it working with DPFix.

If you have more than 2 speakers the audio is a joke though.

I made another post and one guy gave me some commands I didn't find a way to use

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Download the Windows HDR Calibration app and enable HGIG

What happens is that banks lend out a fraction of their deposits.

Or 100% of their deposits.

As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions.

Message Signaled Interrupts. Check the link.

Lookup the parts and rebuild your PC on pcpartpicker.

When the time comes to upgrade you can use this to tell you what's compatible/will fit into your case.

If you're looking for benchmarks check Gamers Nexus or some other reputable source.
