^ This (stupid character limit)...

[darkbasic]

I've read it and I still question it because I've used both Nvidia and AMD and I've had a shit ton of problems with the former, especially with KDE....

[darkbasic]

That's highly debatable....

[darkbasic]

Venus, that's how the Vulkan equivalent of VirGL was called. And yes, AFAIK Venus+Zink is supposed to be faster than VirGL....

[darkbasic]

Yes, but I don't remember the name and I think it's still considered experimental.



Me too. Actually it would be more...

[darkbasic]

Nope, you can use Rusticl....

[darkbasic]

I dream of being able to to use Darktable's scene referred workflow on an HDR monitor!

[darkbasic]

Honestly Gentoo is mostly about niche architectures for me nowadays: on ppc64 I'm basically maintaining my own distro anyway and Gentoo makes my life...

[darkbasic]

Unfortunately my signature hasn't been updated in a long time (it doesn't even show up anymore for me). Nowadays I use an RX 570 and I'm pretty happy...

[darkbasic]

I can't believe it took that long, but it's finally happening!

[darkbasic]

I would have loved to, but unfortunately I don't own a Steam Deck....

[darkbasic]

It depends at which framerate you sync at. On the Steam Deck at 60 fps maybe, but if your handheld is capable of high refresh rate and you sync at 120...

[darkbasic]

Please, PLEASE add per-app XWayland scaling behaviour.

[darkbasic]

No, it won't. If a driver is much faster it will still consume way less power when you cap the framerate....

[darkbasic]

Because their first gen cards suck and their drivers are even worse? Shouldn't they give you at least ONE reason to buy them?
Also Intel already...

[darkbasic]

That's an additional hour of battery life on the Steam Deck ...
