Game is Hunt Showdown and they don’t have sharpening as an in game option.

I will take a look at vkBasalt. Little worried that could trigger a ban from their anti-cheat.

I’ll answer this for people using GE - https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Wine-FSR

I don’t think these options would work in my scenario but I could be wrong

Interesting article from on of the co-founders of StackOverflow.

It really depends on your threat model. It’s not a one size fits all thing.

For instance in some threat models you shouldn’t have TOTP auth and passwords on the same device, let alone the same app, but the vast majority of people are not going to carry two devices because of how inconvenient it is.

This even works with some apps that hide the standard part - like Symantec VIP - it’s possible to extract what they are doing and use a standard TOTP app instead of VIP.

I read the original mastodon post by the developer of run0 and I am still don’t understand what the problem with SUID is.

Whats an example of an attack that would work with sudo and doas (which also uses SUID) and not on run0?

Unrelated aside, I like running torrents on my NAS because I almost always have that on, plus I have ZFS on it so all the data is reasonable durable.

Is that the BTRFS raid mode or something else?

Thanks.

Ended up adding :/usr/lib/pressure-vessel/overrides/share to the end of the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable as described in https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/pull/1281/files.

Fingers crossed on the out of the box support.

Thanks again for the knowledge.

Thanks, appreciate the write up. Definitely sounds like HDR under Linux has a long way to go to reach the “just works” level.

I asked this in another thread but I would be curious to get different perspectives; could you use gamescope and mpv under Gnome and get HDR support or is KDE’s HDR support essential here?

So what is the benefit of KDE’s HDR support at that? Could you do something similar under Gnome and get HDR support in games?

Oh really? That sucks, how do you work around that?

Nice, this appears to allow me to enable HDR at least in Resident Evil 8.

Is there a distinct command if the game is native Vulkan versus using the Direct3d to Vulkan layer?

Edit: Lojcs is saying this only allows you to enable it but it isn’t actually working, https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/8535260

To add to this, I was doing some testing since this is on my mind and I am also unable to get HDR working on Youtube under either Firefox or Chromium.

This may be orthogonal to running games or it could be related.

Great detailed answer. One pedantic nitpick is the Apple typically supports Macs longer then 5-6 years, with the operating system getting security patches for a few years after the last one was released.

Their support cycle has been shorter lately because they seem pretty hell bent on phasing out Intel Macs.

I used to use Fluxbox back in the day, what’s the modern equivalent?

Here is my understanding of this now I’ve got everything working on my Flatpak install of Steam:

MangoHud

• Mangohud is installed as another Flatpak, org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud
• I don’t think I ever installed this manually, I believe the Steam Flatpak will bring this as a dependency
• To tell a game to use MangoHud you add MANGOHUD=1 %command% to the Steam launch options of the game
• Alternatively you can use like Flatseal to add MANGOHUD=1 to the Steam FlatPak to get this working in every game by default

Gamemode

• You need to install the Gamemode daemon, gamemoded as a system package
• Once that is installed you can add gamemoderun %command% to the launch options to run the game with Gamemode enabled

Yeah going to mine as well. I am both excited and a little scared. Some folks have reports some serious issues when upgrading so let’s hope the Tumbleweed folks sit on this until they feel it’s ready for general availability.

You know, I am fine with it. One of the reasons I am using Tumbleweed is for the additional testing they do, so if they aren’t cool with shipping it yet I can wait.
