Road work not ahead
Yeah, I just finished my upgrade this morning and got crashing, easy downgrade but hopefully wayland and nvidia can play nice consistently soon lol
I love that song unironically :)
literally none lol
wuh oh, I haven't updated in a while, only a couple times since the explicit sync fix and I haven't had any issues. I was just planning on doing that today though...
The new nvidia driver has explicit sync, wayland perfect for me since I updated it a week or so ago.
They already played past the refund period. Depending how complicated the game is they might have needed that time to really formulate a comprehensive opinion. And now that they have already played the game, they might as well play it. Goodness knows I have guilty pleasure games that are honestly not that fun but they scratch some sort of itch even if they may be overall disappointing with some clear avenue for improvement I wish they had made.
My moment was using the experimental repos to get an early view into wayland, after seeing it wasn't quite ready for my system I just switched back. Mistakes made, and slowly over the next few weeks as I updated, the experimental packages never got superseded and updated, until my system crashed and would not pass boot.
Luckily since it is not windows I just used a live usb stick to mount the disk and manually reinstall all the broken system packages. Scary but made me feel pretty confident I could recover the system myself in the future. Also learned a pretty important lesson. Don't do that, and look at the upgrade log if you do lol, cause the whole time, as I upgraded there was red text showing me all the system packages that were not getting updated.
:) Yep you can! There's "An Anime Game launcher" for linux
For gaming - https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch1 It bundles a few useful things as well like another suggestion: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode as well as quite a few others, tinker is especially useful if you want to mod too, making mod organizer 2 very easy to use, taking a lot out of the otherwise manual set up
Also in general, look for custom launchers, Genshin has a custom launcher, runescape as well, I believe gog does too. If you can't use foss at least use a better launcher.
for media honestly you can't beat VLC, but I run a plex server I typically use, for music I use strawberry, and for asmr desktop noise Blanket is a super cool package, and I like Cozy for audio-books.
Edit: Oh and for gaming I saw another comment recommending retroarch and I totally agree, retroarch works amazing on linux, so much better performance than I ever had emulating on windows before I switched.
Also at least let me compile it myself if not in a repo 😩
