I will not ignore the cat pic, in fact I enjoyed it, tyvm.
Same. This is now a cat thread.
ignore cat pic
Maybe it was wishful thinking, but, somehow, I just knew that was the Badger Herald.
Ignores the post, read the cat
Does the cat use Arch, BTW?
Fun fact: cats use arch all the time, btw
How is there not an Arch-derived distro that uses a cat in the shape of the Arch logo for their logo?
Nyarch? Except its a catgirl
I did think of that one after. It’s still not a cat arching it’s back, like the pictures above, though. Those cats are so close to being in the shape of the Arch logo that someone should make a cat Arch logo.
I think it’s an AUR package you can download and configure, probably the one that caused all the security issues for AUR the other week.
I will ignore everything but the cat. I demand more pics of the cat.
:3
I will not ignore the cat.
In many games it does, but I’m not sure this comparison is a good example of that, as it shows persistent CPU stutter on Linux. With those spikes, Windows would be the smoother experience even if the average frametimes are slightly better on Linux.
Yeah I’m not sure what’s up with that, maybe OP needs to try a different scheduler?
As I… think has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can run Gamescope + Proton + Wayland, and force the refresh rate.
You can do this with xrandr or sometimes some games actually expose it as a thing you can directly configure.
Presumably, you could set this to, for this example, 90, and probably help out the frame timing variance a bit.
Didn’t valve test this sort of thing over a decade ago and found Linux to easily get better performance?
Yes.
Kind of.
Its… why they spent that decade making Proton, and now basically have an OS based off of it.
The OS is based off of Arch.
I mean literally yes, but, it could not exist in any meaningful way without Proton.
Thats why I say its really built around Proton, they started with Proton and then said ‘how do we make an OS that will work with/around this’ and landed on Arch.
The whole point of it is: Be a functional, efficient, fast, Linux OS that primarily plays video games.
Thats impossible without Proton.
Agreed! 🎯

with the caveat that that was opengl vs directx9 accross operating systems and not necessarily “easy”. but it did make an important point that linux could run workloads like games in a very viable fashion.
“Ignore the cat pic”
How???Irrelevant cat picture to get people to read the post works every time.
Now if only I don’t have to compile vulkan shaders every time I try to start deadlock
I feel like people don’t believe me when I tell them this is the case. Always glad to see evidence.
Impressive.
Very nice.
…
Now… lets see Paul Allens cat.
Really needed that cat pick today. Also always cool to see Linux kicking butt
Appreciate the cat image.
