GNOME Sees Progress On Variable Refresh Rate Setting, Adding Battery Charge Control (www.phoronix.com)

As pointed out in This Week in GNOME, there’s been some continued work on Variable Rate Refresh for the GNOME desktop. The VRR setting within GNOME Settings continues to be iterated on as the developers iron out how they’d like to present the Variable Rate Refresh setting for users. The developers have been discussing how to...

bitwolf,

I don’t think in any way that would lose an advantage over gnome.

Having a Steam Deck, the only integration I see is the “Return to Steam” shortcut and a change to the logo.

When you run the Steam Deck gaming mode it bypasses KDE entirely and uses its own game scope compositor.

Palworld has done better than Nintendo has been with characters lately.

Have you seen the latest gen? Flamenco Flamigo? … seriously?

bitwolf,

Sudowoodo always cracks me up.

I imagine them in a meeting room

“We need a unique twist in this 2nd gen. Something to catch the players off guard”

“What if we made a grass pokemon rock type heheh”

“What was that?!”

“What if we made a grass pokemon rock type? … Y’know, most people pick fi…”

“That might actually work!! Genius! Who hired them?”

bitwolf,

Whoops. Yes you’re right 🤦‍♂️

bitwolf,

Here’s an example I can see happening.

Threads will want to implement post reactions to maintain parity with Facebook. Threads expands the ActivityPub spec to include reactions.

Now, every other instance will not be compatible with reactions. Users complain they cannot see reactions.

Admins have two choices now:

  • Refuse to implement reactions because they are not part of the spec. Users leave and join threads.
  • ActivityPub adds reactions to the standard, all instances must now support reactions. Meta has now started dictating the spec.

I feel the XMP fears do have some sentiment, and it’s really a matter of how the broad username interprets these issues (including the Thread users which would be family and friends).

bitwolf,

They also likely have a touchy relationship right now considering the removal of dolphin.

bitwolf,

uBlock, Clean URLs, and “I still don’t care about cookies”

Are the must haves for me.

bitwolf,

I didn’t know about that actually. I’ll try it out and remove cookies extension. Thanks!

Edit: Working well so far!

bitwolf,

afaik software patents get awards based on the implementation details. So Sony could get a patent if they implemented this behavior in a novel way.

Although I do agree with you this is a basic feature in many games and that sold be recognized.

bitwolf,

Ain’t that the truth.

Geary is so close to perfect but they depend on Gnome Online accounts which doesn’t support O365 so I can use it for everything but my university email.

bitwolf,

It mostly works but you do get a small performance hit. Comparable to to the proton -> dx conversion.

That said, games tend to hit the GPU much more than the CPU

bitwolf,

Games really need a solution similar to Android.

Have a lower res screen? Only need to download 1080p assets and textures.

Have a 4k screen? Good luck to your SSD.

bitwolf,

Nintendo games tend to be less demanding. They’re built for the platform whereas PS5 is running PC ports generally.

The same can be said for Switch bs steam deck. Steam Deck can’t reliably play 1080p60 for every game but the switch can.

bitwolf,

Agreed. I built up a nice console PC using a used HP Pavilion Gaming PC.

Threw in a 50$ 32gb ram kit and a 60$ 2tb SSD.

Total cost <450$ and it’s a bit faster than a Steam Deck.

I wouldn’t call this beginner friendly compared to a deck, but the potential cost savings are real.

bitwolf,

And you can play all of your historical games, and emulate every console since the dawn of time.
