I feel bad for that GPU 😄

Getting lukewarm PSU air right into it.

Actually we're both wrong 😄

[pallid totem]

Found it. https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=653&area=en

[reef patrol]

PSU sucks in the air the GPU SHOULD have had. The GPU spits out what little air it gets out the back 😄

Well... most of it goes out the back.

[wheat plume]

oo evga psu

but its a solid PSU brand?

Good good

[pallid totem]

The TT i posted has side door fans. On the right hand side at least.

8 of them, in fact. 😄

7 front, 8 top, 2 rear, 6 bottom, 8 side.

[ashen spindle]

well well well, a crypto flash sale going on right now

[crimson wigeon]

BUY THE DIP

[ashen spindle]

clearly means free gpus by next week

[reef tundra]

Buy the dump

Speedrun WR %any buying nothing for some reason

When they call out fiat currencies for their lack of gold/resource backing.

Even banknotes provide more backing than cryptos offer. You can wipe your ass with the notes when they lose all their value. blockchain goes poof and what are you left with.

[ashen spindle]

yeah but do your bank notes come with shity picture of ms paint apes?

checkmate

[reef tundra]

You only need to look at how the economy was doing in the 19th century to see how companies like to treat the ability to control the currency

@fair gull I fixed my GPU rgb issue never saving its setting like you have, open rgb can disable if perma, or well at least when you boost into windows, not the best solution but I'll take it.

ShareX
Logitech
Premid
Mailspring
Nvidia broadcast
VNC server

And now mailspring

OK 7 now

Which ain't bad

[ashen spindle]

f.lux

steam

thats it

er and discord

[pale sigil]

Logi I don't have much choice, sharex I rely on, VNC is a must, mail is so I don't forget, Premid just fun, broadcast is also a must

OpenRGB stops me from hating my computer

Why would you wanna auto open steam

Discord I don't entirely get but makes some sense

But steam

[ashen spindle]

so I dont need to start it manually?

[pale sigil]

Do you use steam that often lol

[reef tundra]

Specifically restarting it

[ashen spindle]

cant remember the last time I didnt

[pale sigil]

I rarely use it and only open it when I wanna play a game tbh

GoG galaxy would mostly replace it if they just allowed multi accounts

[ashen spindle]

have everything on steam aside from a few epic games, also needed for steam vr

[pale sigil]

I meant more than one steam account

[reef tundra]

Benefit of having my own computer is not having to deal with whatever drawbacks autostarting steam gives.

[pale sigil]

Like it’s possible as I already do it

[ashen spindle]

hm actually might make sense to add chrome to startup things since whenever I start pc I basically start by opening chrome lmao

[pale sigil]

I used to do that

[ashen spindle]

like at the bare minimum I use it to log in to 14 to grab some dailies assuming I dont play anything else at all

[pale sigil]

Oh you use 14 via steam

[ashen spindle]

nah but I have it linked to steam so I have all games in steam for faster access lol

[wheat plume]

this large amount of hardware all plugged into a tiny laptop, noice

[pale sigil]

XD

[wheat plume]

I have no idea how producers figure out how to use shit like that

moving cables around, turning dials at seemingly random

[reef tundra]

Thats nothing compared to the old mainframes and the terminals the user got to interact with

[wheat plume]

IKR...

WangleLine is adorable...

[reef patrol]

If you look closely you can see they're all smaller modules screwed into the larger frame.

One module might take an input and add an echo (with adjustable dials). So you plug something into that to add an echo, and then you chain that to the left module you want to use.

[wheat plume]

o...

[reef patrol]

Kind of like this (virtual setup) but usually with a lot more A to B to C 🤔

[reef tundra]

https://www.britannica.com/technology/ENIAC So much power, room and maintenance was required to get 5000 additions per second.

The progress we made

[wheat plume]

Reminds me of that software app I once saw to control audio signals in Linux

[reef tundra]

generating 174 kilowatts of heat

[wheat plume]

idk wtf the name of that is

[reef tundra]

Probably jack

https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io/ perhaps 🤷

[wheat plume]

oooh yeh it was that

[reef tundra]

Basically you get audio sources which make some kind of signal. Filters to modify the signals in some way. And your devices that can output some audio signal given to its inputs. And a load of wires to connect it all

If you get real far enough, you begin to realise that software and hardware become interchangable to the software perspective.

Which would be great for those with a tighter budget to play with

[wheat plume]

...... 1300????

well, more like 1650

ooh

Even atm combining more same internets would be almost better value. Had they price adjusted it would make more sense

And also where I am atm only temporary

[grizzled prism]

good way to remove particles without taking off keycaps? shit collects inbetween the keycaps and such kinda fast, and i dont want to be removing keycaps constantly

[reef patrol]

Don't see how you would do that.

[fair gull]

just buy new caps

[pallid totem]

Dust between keycaps -> Buy new keycaps.
I'm not sure I follow the logic.

[fair gull]

ok u got me

buy a new keyboard

[ashen spindle]

profit maximising logic from the keycap conspiracy

also could probably just use a soft vacuum/compressed air if it's just dust stuff

[ashen spindle]

big cap doesn't want you to know you can use capslock to rage time and dont have to spam shift bc this way it wears down faster

[halcyon moss]

i thought tmux is "better" than screen these days

Stop giving them attention

Stop giving the escobar scammers attention with these videos again and again xD

[wheat plume]

its a video to make you aware to never buy this shit

[ashen spindle]

its a guy with million of subsribers , do you think it gives more attention to it or it stops people from falling from some unknown scam? xD

[wheat plume]

if people who would all for it see this, then they wont
cause some people will see this randomly and think its real

[empty wren]

Okay but.... Escabar nfts seem like a good idea

[reef patrol]

[shadow minnow]

this madlad running a Tor Relay on a Core 2 Duo Thinkpad and wonders why the CPU is the bottleneck

https://youtu.be/5NQPfrwF-fc

[ashen spindle]

im not really sure how you interpret that as him wondering rather than him pointing it out quite directly

[reef patrol]

How does simple internet traffic redirecting need more than a DOS era PC? xD

[reef tundra]

TOR relays also need to encrypt and decrypt packets

as per the tor protocol

[ashen spindle]

automatic updates as well as him also running something else could be too much is what he says

[reef tundra]

Pretty much. He seems to just point out that actual bandwidth is lower than technically capable. Hypothesis being that its likely CPU related.

He does not know for certain or has concrete proof it is CPU bottlenecked. Nor seems to care to bother finding out.

[wheat plume]

Hes also hosting a hidden service directory

which uses more CPU power and bandwidth

[ashen spindle]

so why say he's wondering about it when he's not xd

yep

just waiting for my buddy to get that employee discount, if Asus ever makes it a thing

[ashen spindle]

Until you realize asus being a top brand means even discounted it will cost more

Hydrogen to deuterium?

Deuterium's hella expensive

[reef tundra]

Seems pretty affordable

[ashen spindle]

going to be interresting to see how the coming vr headsets with µOLED are going to be after years

deuterium is also already used so that's nothing new

and those prices aren't really showing something since that's not raw deuterium

not free to change that/make it ready for use

[reef tundra]

The 'raw' stuff is even cheaper

[ashen spindle]

is it? compared to hydrogen?

[misty saffron]

converting deuterium to deuterium oxide i’d imagine isn’t exactly a costless process

anybody here in a small-medium company can recommend me remote access software

atm kinda looking to get away from teamviewer

most common recommendation I see is anydesk, but outside germany the market prob looks a bit different

[reef tundra]

openssh could be useable for remote access, given the circumstances.

[fair gull]

id recommend teamviewer or anydesk mostly cause its easy to deploy even if u talk someone uninitiated through it

personally looking into anydesk since we grew tired of teamviewers new monthly submodel being this expensive

[old marlin]

yea, wanted to get some impressions from some non-german guys

yeah, but somehow its working oon Edge and not on Chrome

At least today

[fair gull]

extensions or settings or smth

[wheat plume]

that can and will change

last week it only worked on Firefox

[halcyon moss]

aftraid to ask, what is NIO

[fair gull]

ngl i think it would work on any of them and ur tinkering just fricks it up

[wheat plume]

Network IO
Can use it to send message or data between devices

[halcyon moss]

you mean.. sockets? :p

[wheat plume]

Yes

[halcyon moss]

sockets are fun 🙂

[wheat plume]

Yeah..... no

pretty sure thats not official jdk docs

[wheat plume]

no, its my lecturer notes

[fair gull]

hmmmm

big think

[wheat plume]

hm?

[reef tundra]

So its a message/system bus akin to something like dbus?

[fair gull]

its not network io

[wheat plume]

but over the network

[fair gull]

just non blocking

[reef tundra]

So asyncronously?

[wheat plume]

hes talking about it in the context of sending data between two network connected devices

so yeah, my bad

green address bar.... 🤔 IE?

[ashen spindle]

firefox, chrome

[wheat plume]

wut

[ashen spindle]

until recently where it was changed

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah now it tends to just be a lock

[wheat plume]

Ahh

[ashen spindle]

to show just a lock and no longer have it green for it

but basically every browser used to have it

[wheat plume]

The lock on Firefox is white

[ashen spindle]

yes now

[wheat plume]

ah ok

SSL is now TLS

but then why is everything still showing SSL? Are they just really outdated?

[crimson wigeon]

Steam still has oldschool style green address bar look btw

[reef tundra]

[wheat plume]

yeah ... thats the only place ive seen the bar being green

shitty os, so bloated with stuff

smh

[wheat plume]

ok, test worked xd

Got to make CDs for my uncle

and I was testing to see how I specify the file name

[fair gull]

filenames arent important on audio cds?

[wheat plume]

I hope CDs are ok with - in the filename

[crimson wigeon]

Audio CDs don't work like that so it's no problem

[fair gull]

audio cds dont have filenames

thats why i just told u the names dont matter at all

[wheat plume]

Yeah, this just makes it easier for me to keep track of what ones Ive already burned
Since they all wont fit onto one CD

[crimson wigeon]

Unless you just putting mp3s on them

[wheat plume]

I can add like 00 - 12 and then 13 - 20 on the next one

[fair gull]

thats not an audio cd then tho

thats just a cd

[crimson wigeon]

Drue

[wheat plume]

the official audio videos that youtube auto generate are very handy for shit like this

I get niice clean audio from the official source

those channels where the video is just the album art and has - Topic in the name

[fair gull]

ye

well

nice and clean maybe not

cause they are still compressed to shit

[wheat plume]

There is a song I cannot find on youtube that my uncle listed on his song list

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah.. sure..

[old marlin]

fuck crypto

there we have it officially

can't wait for the used market to completely crash

but not in germany

[cursive summit]

Well to be fair, just like GN said, crypto is not the cause of GPU price hike

[crimson wigeon]

Noo you got it all wrong it's just the corona!!! Crypto did nothing wrong!!

[old marlin]

crypto did nothing wrong

[cursive summit]

Most small timers might use GPUs but rn it's unprofitable

[old marlin]

absolutely nothing

[cursive summit]

The crypto market cap went down like 50%

[old marlin]

the 2 graphs have absolutely no relation whatsoever

ETH course and availability are entirely unrelated

[cursive summit]

I'd argue ASICs have more to do with crypto but eh

[old marlin]

they are unlinked

CPU shortage in the US is manmade

GPU shortage is miners

we have the evidence now

[crimson wigeon]

NOOO REEE you got it wrong it's just a coincidence!!!

[ashen spindle]

it's not 0 influence but its not the sole cause

simply seen by consoles being out of stock too

[old marlin]

not claiming it is

but a price drop from 185% over msrp to 177% over msrp does not come from nowhere

so does this

[ashen spindle]

we can do the same thing this way

look eth costs more and price barely moves

then add in where christmas is on that chart

[old marlin]

well you cut out the context of what happened before

[ashen spindle]

so did you by not looking at other factors though 😛

[old marlin]

german prices got increased

[ashen spindle]

not sure why a german site should care about microcenter

[old marlin]

they explain why they do it

as in

german MSRP got increased by nvidia

US one did not

[ashen spindle]

it's comparison against release price so if that hike comes purely from retailers or nvidia doesnt really matter

[old marlin]

otherwise nvidia could just increase MSRP to hide the difference

[ashen spindle]

well they did that and just called it the 12gb model

doubt that

they'll just shift to using older lines for a while longer and that will ease supply

didnt they already split once

into eth classic and eth

[ashen spindle]

yeah the 2.0 update that is coming in a few months for a few years now

[fair gull]

oh no i got like 400bucks sitting round

[cursive summit]

Except 2.0 is literally functional and running on a test branch

[fair gull]

and i do wanna invest in some form

the question is eth or btc

[cursive summit]

Neither?

[fair gull]

or smth completely different

[cursive summit]

Yes

[fair gull]

dont say nft

ill murder u

[cursive summit]

CKB, MATIC, XLR, LRC, amongst others

Don't touch top coins, those won't get you anything

[fair gull]

anything really

[cursive summit]

Stocks also earns a crap ton

[fair gull]

like rn i just kinda wanna build some kind of portfolio

[cursive summit]

Just stocks is a lot more complicated rn

[fair gull]

crypto seems the easiest to dip into

i really should have invested when eth was like 90 per coin

whats the profit on those

[reef tundra]

should be few percent per year

4% typical iirc

[cursive summit]

🤔

[fair gull]

oh no not get rich quick

[cursive summit]

Coins with actual value and will see big growth starting this year and the one's to come are ETH L2 protocols

[fair gull]

but i dont really wanna read up on stock stuff

cause stocks are way more complex

[cursive summit]

I'd invest rn into L2 layer projects

https://l2beat.com/

The problem with ETH is massive costs when trading

L2 completely eliminates that

[reef tundra]

https://www.investopedia.com/types-of-stocks-5215684

[cursive summit]

It hasn't yet begun to boom, and I'd look into L2 projects

[reef tundra]

Good source if you need it

[fair gull]

theres some demonstration goin on outside

[cursive summit]

Polygon Hermez (MATIC) might get some notoriety soon

[fair gull]

how easy is it to cash out funds

[cursive summit]

Since that's what Reddit's crypto will be based on

And reddit owns Polygon

So that'll be interesting

[cursive summit]

As simple as anywhere really

Sell your shit, usually takes moments, and just ask for a withdrawal

[fair gull]

with funds?

[cursive summit]

Some do wire transfers so your cash will take a few days to arrive

Fund deposit is either wire transfers or instant transactions

Instant takes higher fees though

I use coinbase though

over a thousand bucks lol

and then u dont even get better analog placement

[misty saffron]

which is a preorder

much more expensive on amazon

[fair gull]

it uses the same shit switch layout

[misty saffron]

basically his main grudge is that there are no touchpads

[fair gull]

personally wouldnt even mind that

but why place the right stick low aswell

on non removeable controls

[misty saffron]

apparently touchscreen is terrible for most of the shit and have fun playing most of the mouse-only games

[fair gull]

i get why they do it on the switch

so its symmetrical if u use em as separate ones for multiplayer

but on a fixed system

it makes 0 sense

[reef tundra]

Im suspecting the touch to fail after 2months if it barely works initialy

[pale sigil]

I think it's just a cheap spec to add

[fair gull]

is that how steamvr things did?

arent those the same pads

Today I learned that to write perlin noise in literally any language up to and including Tanil, one must be able to think on 8 dimensions for a 3D perlin noise generation.

WIFI extenders/boosts dont work using powerline right

they work via their own connection

[reef patrol]

Depends. Wifi and powerline are two different technologies.

But you CAN get a Wifi/Powerline extender combo that connects by powerline to your router and uses that to send out Wifi from the station.

$FB built a supercomputer with 6,080 $NVDA A100 GPUs, with plans to have 16K. Also appear to be using a lot of Mellanox InfiniBand gear.

No word on the CPU supplier, but good chance it's $AMD, given the November announcement and their HPC traction.

smh cant believe facebook is wasting precious mining hardware

[shadow minnow]

ikr

[timid chasm]

Do MOCA instead if you can Callum. Although I know that's not usually the case for people

[fair gull]

not really an extender then but an access point

[latent mural]

what OS is this

[shadow minnow]

Ngl my ears got so used to AirPods Pro that sometimes I think I have them when I don’t, and sometimes I am surprised where is the sound coming from since I don’t feel them in my ear

[fair gull]

some form of linux

[reef patrol]

That's what extenders are. Old school, dumb mesh. Just a bunch of access points shouting over each other with no concern to sharing the load.

[fair gull]

from my knowledge most things not specifically labelled accesspoint just repeat a signal

an accesspoint sends out a non received wifi signal

as in generating its own auth flow

like were at a point where most people use extender, booster and repeater interchangeably and this sadly includes a lot of manufacturers

[fair gull]

but thats part of the problem

everythings just a router

to normal people at least

doesnt matter if its actually a modem router

or modem router wifi ap combo unit

its just router

when u then sell them actually just a router they get pissed

literally many people i have as walk in customers

"so i wanna copy data from my old computer to a new laptop. i need a cable with the usb on both sides"

thats when i start to explain why thats not really how it works

then they get angry

they buy a cable somewhere else

and then complain to me after that that it didnt work

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

best customer i ever had tho

[reef patrol]

It can work like that though. With software. And it used to work like that with FireWire and such

[fair gull]

was a custom build pc

the guy build it himself

all fine

except 1 thing... 1 god forsaken thing

he connected his 2 drives

with a single sata cable

from 1 drive to the other

guess who he complained to

even claiming thats how it works in his brothers pc

[old marlin]

brother still uses IDE

[fair gull]

lel

na iirc he claimed they build em around the same time

this is yrs ago sadly

never had an equally funny thing happen

[fair gull]

can ya but most people judt expect it to work without extras also firewire is not usb

[wheat plume]

surely there is a better program to use?

[ashen spindle]

so the path is wrong for the build script, lovely

[crisp granite]

@wheat plume, you're smart

HELP

[wheat plume]

huh?

[crisp granite]

trying to install pop...but

somehow it just isn't plug and play

[wheat plume]

you in the live session?

[crisp granite]

nope

can't even get to the desktop

[wheat plume]

oh... from the USB?

[crisp granite]

yep

[wheat plume]

howd you create the USB?

what app

[crisp granite]

downloaded iso image

[wheat plume]

yeh, what app to write it?

[crisp granite]

then balenaetcher

[wheat plume]

hmm, that should be ok..

[crisp granite]

it was suggested by them on the popOS bootable drive how to

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat plume]

what iso you download?

nvidia or not?

[crisp granite]

20.04 LTS

AMD/Intel

for my intel based laptop

[wheat plume]

ook

[wheat plume]

debatable

[crisp granite]

Lana

drunk and sober me can't figure this out

[wheat plume]

Are you using ethernet?

[crisp granite]

surely you can
you live and breathe linux at this point

[crisp granite]

nope

should I?

[wheat plume]

no

but yes

but not related to this LOL

can you do ctrl + alt + F2?

to get to command line

or one of the other F row keys

[crisp granite]

hm...

give me 5

[wheat plume]

ctrl + alt + F[2-9]

[crisp granite]

nope

[wheat plume]

It seems to want to use X to boot but cant cause on Intel and AMD, the new Ubuntus use Wayland by default

you havent gotten to the live session yet? Maybe rewrite the USB?

[crisp granite]

...

how does one do that?

without breaking something

[wheat plume]

Rewrite the ISO usiung Etcher

[crisp granite]

oh

ok

grrr

[wheat plume]

using* cant type

[crisp granite]

windows says format before use

that seems like a royally bad idea though

[wheat plume]

dont

Windows cant read ext4, so it wants to format to NTFS

Which is why my linux SSD doesnt show up in file explorer LOL

cause my Linux SSD is BTRFS

[fair gull]

btrfs isnt ext4

[wheat plume]

yeh but windows also cant read that

[fair gull]

yes

cause windows banks on stable filesystems

btrfs isnt the most stable

[wheat plume]

@crisp granite do you have secure boot enabled?

[crisp granite]

of course not

[wheat plume]

and "Fast Startup"

[crisp granite]

fuck no

[wheat plume]

hmm ok

[crisp granite]

I'm not a complete debil

wait

yes

I am

[wheat plume]

?

[crisp granite]

but not because of this

[wheat plume]

LOL

same

[crisp granite]

ah yes

flashing complete

flash another I shall

[wheat plume]

xd

[fair gull]

fast startup is a windows option and still to this day does not prevent linux from booting

no matter how much u hate windows

[wheat plume]

prevents it from accessing wifi

[fair gull]

it doesnt

[wheat plume]

or bluetooth

[fair gull]

we have already established u didnt read the article

[crisp granite]

you know what

both of you are equally right

ok?

[wheat plume]

Then explain why my wifi worked as soon as I booted to windows and turned off fast startup?

[fair gull]

how would i know u changed 2 things at once

u rebooted and changed a setting

[wheat plume]

what two things?

[fair gull]

rebooting is also changing smth

[ashen spindle]

not quite sure why either version would matter for installing stuff from a stick though

[wheat plume]

I had rebooted a few times to make sure thigns worked and wifi didnt on Linux until turning off fast startup

[fair gull]

secureboot shouldnt prohibit linux either

[wheat plume]

Not anymore, usually

Some distros still require it off

but they arent the main ones so idc

[ashen spindle]

so tl dr it's not relevant to doges problem and I at some point will strangle the person who is making this readme and build script because nothing is working when I follow it

now the cmakelist is referencing wrong things ffs

[fair gull]

inb4 it only works on a very specific distro and version

[ashen spindle]

I even have the one that's used in the example

[fair gull]

good ol linux issues

[ashen spindle]

"it can fail even with WebRTC in the correct place." from a forum thread

lovely

[fair gull]

thats why u dev on linux

for those times

u just wanna die

constantly

[crisp granite]

ok

Lana

I tried what you suggested

still nothing

[wheat plume]

hm :/

[crisp granite]

finished update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes

ctrl + alt +F2 through 9 do nothing

[fair gull]

have u tried

not using pop

[wheat plume]

Yeah, try something like Kubuntu or Zorin

[crisp granite]

...

will standard ubuntu work?

[fair gull]

yes

[wheat plume]

sure but then you got to deal with snap packages

[crisp granite]

ok then

kubuntu it is

[fair gull]

which isnt really an issue

[wheat plume]

Firefox takes like 20 seconds to open in Flatpak version :/

[fair gull]

[wheat plume]

[fair gull]

apparently im not insane though

[crisp granite]

bro

[fair gull]

otherwise id also use linux

[crisp granite]

Lana is older than me, no?

I'm 21

for now

[wheat plume]

I love how Tony says I shouldnt hate on Windows as often yet he hates on Linux just as often

[ashen spindle]

oh btw I found out why the libc++ thing didnt work last time

because installing a newer version did not work and I had to completely reinstall it

[fair gull]

oh no dont get me wrong

i dont proclaim windows as a solution

[crisp granite]

it's called hypocrisy, old farts like tony do that a lot

[fair gull]

see

[ashen spindle]

just updating did not actually update it so every time I need to update it for this I need to make a clean reinstall

[crisp granite]

fucker's already having a few midlife crisis at once

[fair gull]

all os shits are equally garbage

just

with linux

[crisp granite]

embrace DOS

[fair gull]

id go insane cause theres 20billion versions and distros

and mostly not interchangebly useable

so id rather stick with windows

[wheat plume]

ye, 95% of distros dont matter

[ashen spindle]

oh wow I might've fixed it

the missing package is called glib2.0 so I tried to install that

[fair gull]

why do they exist then

[ashen spindle]

but of course glib2.0 exists but is something else and to have glib2.0 you need to install libglib2.0-dev

because that makes sense

[wheat plume]

cause people want to make their own OS
but all they really do is choose the preinstalled apps, theme and icon pack and call it a day :/

[fair gull]

the linux ecosystem is a pile of burning trash

[crisp granite]

alright

kubuntu is flashing onto drive

[fair gull]

i dont like anyone more or less

[wheat plume]

Im a huge fan of Solus, ArcoLinux and KDE Neon

[fair gull]

as in os

see im not a huge fan of anyone

all shit

[wheat plume]

Fedora is neat for its immutable filesystem

[crisp granite]

except your gf

you seem to perk up and be incredibly happy after spending time with her

[fair gull]

shut

shes not an os

[crisp granite]

make her your os

[wheat plume]

gfOS

[fair gull]

if one day gaming on linux is equal to windows

[crisp granite]

make her the reason and way you function

[fair gull]

i have no qualms switching

[crisp granite]

[fair gull]

but rn

[wheat plume]

same, thats why I dual boot

[fair gull]

id rather not want pain every second i use an os

thats why i dont dual boot

everything i need linux for i use wsl

[wheat plume]

I do play Minecraft exclusively on Linux though.... I do get better performance and no screen tear

[crisp granite]

I'm installing linux on a separate system so I can make my verdict

[fair gull]

i only use linux on servers as main os

[crisp granite]

if it's genuinely really good for me, I'll install linux on my desktop instead of windows 11 once support for 10 is cut

[fair gull]

windows server is what linux is to gaming

a dumpster fire

[wheat plume]

Linux is only shit for gaming cause no one makes games for it mostlyl

The games ported over run well

and a lot of proton games work now

[fair gull]

so 2025

[crisp granite]

yep

plenty of time for the situation to improve

[ashen spindle]

I can guarantee you if games would only now be a thing and the decision to make one os the main os would happen now, it would be for windows

not because it's not so from the start

[wheat plume]

especially the speed at which proton is developing

Due to steam deck also

[fair gull]

im with quin on that one

windows would get chosen even if games were invented today and didnt exist before today

[wheat plume]

yeah

cause userbase

[fair gull]

not only

more streamlined

[wheat plume]

and microsoft pushing directx

[fair gull]

even for other apis

windows dev is so much more streamlined

and easier to get into

lets say u wanna do game dev rn

small mp game or smth

u either chose linux or win as ur target most likely

on linux u already run into setting up udev rules

if u need some more specific stuff

[wheat plume]

you need to reboot the sysem for udev rules to apply though, and games dont need that

[fair gull]

just doesnt exist on windows

[fair gull]

thats why i said more specific stuff

special dongle for controller or some shit

kinect for all i know

[wheat plume]

whom'st'tf uses a Kinect for PC gaming?

[ashen spindle]

VR body tracking

[wheat plume]

Xbox and Playstation controllers have drivers in the kernel now
And Switch JoyCon and Pro controller drivers are on the way in the upcoming kernel

ive used my xbox one controller for almost 2 years on Linux to play Distance

Before that, I had a 360 controller and wireless receiver plugged in

[fair gull]

anyway u see what i get at

theres already stones in the way for some people and projects

where windows just lets u do it

theres also the possibility of just using opengl or smth and having a game that run on any windows nt version

be it xp or 11

or future windows

heck even macos is better for gamedev than linux imo

[wheat plume]

how?

[ashen spindle]

also main point for me was just that you have streamlined version

and not dozen different kernels and whatnot to support

[fair gull]

same reason streamlined

[wheat plume]

can proton work on MacOS?

[fair gull]

eh just run a windows vm in parrallels and ure fine

[wheat plume]

Didnt Monterey remove that option?

[fair gull]

so macos removes a very widely used feature
