Android has done a lot of great desktop windowing work. For a while stuff like boringdroid has been great, its supurbe to see android accept this kind of usage more.

wow I’m sorry, must have been really tired, I mean appimage, it being flatpak only is the issue.

cpak is still containerized, I would like to install natively, or via flatpak

I really just hope they reverse decision on making bottles “containerized” only.

This is not traditional VRR how we think of it. VRR how we think of it is changing the “frame rate” of the monitor to better suit the frame pacing of the received frames, this is not whats happening here. This is how things like freesync works. It takes your device framerate, say 60fps, and slows it down to better match the frame pacing of the content, say 48fps. Now the monitor doesn’t physically change states or anything, it just allows flexible updating to match the frame pacing.

You don;t get this with this adaptive refresh rate method

Here you are effectively getting a noop every refresh cycle it doesn’t need. It’s still good, but not as good as what most people think of as VRR (Freesync/vesa adaptivesync, gsync etc.). You are limited to the steps your display can output. For this to be useful you require a high refreshrate display like 120hz because each application needs to align with a frame refresh.

IE. say you have a 24fps video, the display won’t change it’s frame pacing, but rather you get a noop every 4 frames and a refresh, (24 * 5). Now assume you have a 90hz display, 24fps has no solid divisor in 90fps, so you have to either wait for sync, or get tearing. The first one leads to judder (which can probably be mitigated using offset sync waits?) the second one is well, tearing.

says “true variable refresh rate” support, is not true variable refresh rate support…

Well thats click bait and a half

I use pavucontrol-qt for managing this stuff. It works great. It gives you a selection of the available codecs in the configuration tab.

I mean, It’s already faster for me as well as being more reliable. I would already put it in the “better then gnome” category.

system76 backed themselves into a corner by criticizing gnome

what does this even mean? S76 had been supporting gnome for a long time, and gnome never because anything actually good. Gnome is still a complete mess the second you try to do tweaking, it still has horrible performance, and the devs are still a pain to interact with.

It’s not like S76 just one day started having issues with gnome, S76 had been investing both development time and financially to the gnome project for years. PopOS was always going to eventually migrate away from gnome, because gnome is simply not a good DE for a paid product, and Gnome devs seem to have zero interesting in making it one.

specific parts. you need metal to withstand the pressures of the actual bullet to get a somewhat degree of reliability, so any pressure bearing part needs to be metal, everything else can be plastic, but the more metal the better. Now you can get some more basic designs with parts that you could fabricate at home, but a lot of the higher end designs require off the shelf gun parts.

The “leading design” right now is the FGC-9 which is actually seeing a degree of use in myanmar(??). The design requires metal parts that could be feasible to fabricate at home. However it is shockingly easy, even in heavily restricted countries, to be able to order the metal parts.

we already have them. It’s not hard to make a firearm, and the 3d printed weapons scene has taken off quite well. all of the good ones still need metal parts ofc, but they are pretty easy to get your hands on in many cases.

I like both, airsoft does happen to be a whole lot cheaper though

Edit: Accidentally thought it was a Glock at first, my bad.

Sig boys are seething

not enough guns, needs a rifle and a shotgun at least.

Chromium browsers have a lot of issues, and so does firefox, but ram usage is not one of chromes weaknesses, Chromium regularly preforms better for me then firefox does under low ram scenarios, Both in terms of chrome being responsive, and in terms of chrome not crippling everything else around it.

I will never not be upset at people who don’t realize how ram works

Yes, there are open source firearms. there is even 3d printed designs for an MP5 the youtube channel Print shoot repeat showcases a lot of them.

You can also try it using arch for anyone curious, I have pkgbuilds for most things here https://github.com/Quackdoc/pkgbuild-scripts/tree/Master/cosmic-epoch (dont try meta-git it breaks things) I havent clean room tested them but i’ve slowly been working on making sure the dependencies for everything are up to snuff but they arent all there yet

good to hear

can you try running ovmf? also try using IDE for boot, remeber to re-setup your boot order if you need to change that
