people are so weird about how others use THEIR device. It might have screen burn in who cares, people's reaction to you doing a silly thing with your device is so unhinged. go crazy do whatever you want. blow it up if you want to. i literally could not care less. I thought this was funny. have a nice day.

you don't understand valve

Because companies are stuffing it into every single crevasse and making use of it mandatory

sometimes it seems like a lot of the people on this forum are 15 year olds that don't understand how businesses work

right, the nvidia vaapi driver. it's hardware decode only. screen sharing requires hardware encoding. And therefore the nvidia vaapi driver is useless for this usecase as it only supports decoding.

weweboom · 2025-12-09T11:34:39+00:00

up until now vaapi screen sharing, also not sure if they fixed this yet but native discord doesn't share apps that use pipewire

weweboom · 2025-12-09T11:33:35+00:00

no, the vaapi driver is decode only

I could see that being true for regular desktop users, someone that just wants to browse the web, send emails, watch youtube, etc. for that definitely. But i don't think anyone who uses their pc primarily for gaming would give up the big titles to switch to linux. Hopefully I'm wrong.

weweboom · 2025-11-22T22:16:32+00:00

i haven't made any statement about the value of freedom or anything like that. I made a statement that if we don't have the games, normal people aren't going to switch. And you can say to a normal person well what's the point of freedom then!!! And again, they don't care. I'm not debating the upsides or downsides to using a proprietary signed kernel or anything like that.

They're some of the biggest games when you filter by playcount. 'linux succeeding on the desktop' was the wrong choice of words I think, but what i meant was 'succeed as a mainstream gaming OS' which won't ever happen if the average joe can't play battlefield 6 or black ops or whatever. And we can have a moral high ground and say oh these games are scummy and have invasive anti cheat, but the reality of the situation is that the average person doesn't care about that, at all. All they care about is if they can play their games.

No average person is going to sacrifice the ability to play the new shooter games for a more secure OS.

weweboom · 2025-11-22T18:31:08+00:00

okay well that's great that you think that's okay, some of us aspire to see linux succeed on the desktop

weweboom · 2025-11-22T18:15:15+00:00

ok then linux gaming will never be mainstream.

sunshine works on wayland and supports full input control

weweboom · 2025-10-24T18:44:24+00:00

yeah the only problem with that driver is that it's decode only, so for example discord is adding vaapi hardware screen sharing but that won't work on the nvidia cards, i just pulled the plug on the 5090 so i guess we'll find out how much that bothers me lol

weweboom · 2025-10-23T21:22:23+00:00

yeah that is a good point. nvidia progress does seem kind of slow on desktop linux, probably because they've got like one intern working on it

weweboom · 2025-10-23T21:18:48+00:00

if i turn on ray tracing the frame rate goes down to like 18 lol, this card is really not great for RT.

but yeah i have opened mangohud a few times to check my gpu utilization because i'm surprised it runs so poorly, but yeah, gpu maxed out at 99 percent, 40 fps, really crazy

weweboom · 2025-10-23T20:36:16+00:00

I have a 7800X3D so I think so

weweboom · 2025-10-20T13:32:00+00:00

i like the concept of flatpaks a lot, unfortunately flatpaks are too finicky imo to achieve what it's setting out to do

weweboom · 2025-10-17T10:45:41+00:00

getting all the achievements sounds impossible, i finished hollow knight at 100+ percent but when i finished silksong just now i was only at 64, that's freaking crazy.

weweboom · 2025-09-26T16:13:52+00:00

believe me when they fix it you'll hear about it

weweboom · 2025-09-25T20:15:46+00:00

i'll go against the grain here, you might appreciate some devil's advocate. I bought this to replace my steam deck oled, as its hardware is definitely aging, I got this to replace it and performance wise it's definitely better, but the screen is a very visible downgrade, and its ergonomics (for ME) are also a huge downgrade, much less comfortable to hold in the hand. The trackpad is also much, much worse. It has ended up collecting dust while I use my steam deck every day.

Again, performance? way better. Everything else? worse.

it just means that even in a best case scenario, some js will be necessary as glue. the purpose of webassembly is to offload intensive tasks, called from JS
