As someone who games at 4k on a video card from 2017, I can confirm that VRR is a must-have feature for gaming at lower frame rates.

VRR means that falling off your set frame rate doesn’t matter. 56 FPS is just as smooth as 60 FPS. If something explodes and the game drops to 40 for a second, you don’t really notice.

Intel’s Linux support has always been pretty good. IIRC they even do open source video drivers, it’s just that nobody cared about drivers for their IGPs and they didn’t have real video cards until recently.

The game’s director seems to agree:

Because of the brouhaha over 2B’s butt, there are loads of rude drawings and whatnot being uploaded [online]. And since going around and collecting them is a pain, I’d like it if I could get them sent in a zip file every week.

All because some weeb wanted to play Nier: Automata.

2B’s bum has been a major contributor to Linux gaming.

uBlock Origin doesn’t have a 30 day limit:

I’ve had to add something like #infinite_scroll_content > div:nth-of-type(1):others() for a few sites in uBlock Origin because every site wants you to just scroll the site forever now and attaches a bunch of other random articles to the bottom of any page you open.

I also block a lot of sidebars, sticky title bars that follow you as you scroll, widgets prompting me to chat with a salesweasel and so, so many cookie notice bars because sites still think they’re a get out of jail free card by EU law.

I’ve actually got quite a few Youtube lines in my filters file, because it’s my computer and it still does what I want despite the best efforts of big tech companies:

Me too.

I originally intended to do a pcie passthrough setup with a second video card and use a Windows VM for gaming, but then DXVK hit and it just wasn’t necessary. The Windows games I cared about worked under Linux so I never got around to it.

They’re apparently planning on hoovering up everyone else’s data while keeping theirs to themselves.

It’s Meta, after all.

I’ve got a Brother AIO printer/scanner, and it has a Linux driver. Even for the scan function.

I can start the brscan service on my Linux machine and then just press the scan to PC button on the scanner and the scans land in ~/brscan/ over the network.
