sp6@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Is it worth the trouble with an Nvidia card?English15·5 months agoAMD is ideal but Nvidia is fine. Basically any game that would work on AMD will work on Nvidia (
only exception I know of is the VR mode of Phasmophobiaedit: apparently this was fixed ~1yr ago). Gamepass still won’t work though - blame Microsoft for that one.That said, Nvidia has more of a performance hit when switching. Ancient Gameplays recently did a video comparing Nobara vs Windows 11, with both the RX 7900XTX and the RTX 4080 Super. These were his average results across 20 games:
RX 7900XTX: 1080p +2%, 1440p +0%, 4k -2.2%
RTX 4080S: 1080p -13.8%, 1440p -13%, 4k -10.2%
So your games will work. They just might run 10%-15% slower until you can snag an AMD card. If you’re interested in fully committing, looks like most used 3080s are going for ~$500 on ebay, so you could probably get an AMD card and get most of your money back.

OS - trouble adding Steam library and audio issues in Helldivers 2.English6·5 months agoI had the same audio crackling issues in Helldivers on Pop!_OS too. What fixed it for me was following mmstick’s (Pop!_OS dev) instructions from his reddit post about audio crackling, particularly the
headroom
advice (I think somewhere between 256-512 worked for me):If you experience audio crackling, try changing the ALSA properties in
/usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua
. Particularly theperiod-size
andheadroom
. Remove the leading--
from properties you are modifying. Log out and log back in after making changes. Note that any changes to this file will be overwritten on the next wireplumber update.First start with changing the headroom to
1024
, then2048
. Then try adjusting the period-size. Higher values increase latency and may reduce crackling. A lower period size decreases latency but requires more CPU.Edit: also Pop!_OS uses pipewire by default for a few years now, not pulse audio

Plus, being parked slightly off-center or dinging a car in a parking lot is nowhere near as bad as causing a potentially deadly crash by merging into another car at high-speed.

A bot created the original post on !technology@lemmit.online, but a human saw the bot’s post there, and decided to cross-post it here to !technology@lemmy.world.

You don’t necessarily need to use Obtanium though, the version on F-Droid has a built-in updater. But unfortunately the built-in updater isn’t automatic (just a pop up notification that takes you to the .apk download page), so I can see the convenience of Obtainium.

I think the question is: is it actually him using the account, or is it a social media manager?

If anything, this probably validates their decision.
The way this should be protested is to just stop playing. Stop giving them money. Stop boosting their month active user numbers that they can flaunt to investors. Hit them financially, since it’s the only hit they really care about. There’s a sea of other high-quality games you can play instead.
sp6@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The US population only accounts for 4.2% of the world.151·1 year agoEnglish-speaking population is about 1.5 billion worldwide and 300 million of that is in the US (first language or additional language), so the US is about 20% of the world’s English speakers. The 2nd and 3rd countries with the most English-speakers are India and Nigeria, so factor in internet access, and the US is almost certainly >20% of the English-speaking internet.

RuneLite is linux native though. If you want something specifically through Wine, others have said Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV, but I’ve also heard good stuff about STAR WARS: The Old Republic. And if you’re okay with something a little more obscure/“out there”, Shakes and Fidget has great reviews (it’s a satire on MMORPGs).

Is that true? It looks like at least some people have gotten AMD GPU passthrough to work unless I am misunderstanding.
Also, as an FYI most VR games worked well for me on baremetal linux through proton. Half Life Alyx, Beat Saber, The Lab, COMPOUND, Walkabout Minigolf, and 2-3 more indie titles all worked. Although I guess you need to have the right headset - I think only the Valve Index and a few HTC headsets work with minimal effort on linux, others might work with a lot of tinkering.
