Thanks! So VRR works out of the box for you or did you have to do tweaks to get it to work? The answers on the Amazon page are conflicting, with the manufacturer saying VRR is not supported but some users saying it does. Don’t know who to believe.

I have the Arctis 7 as well and the default EQ sounds just fine, although I do prefer the Bass Boost. You can run the software inside a Windows VM, passthrough the USB dongle and configure all your settings as well. They get saved into the headset and work just fine in Linux without Linux native software.

Usually yes, but it doesn’t apply to BG3. The vulkan renderer is terribly broken ever since Patch 3.

They borked the Vulkan Renderer somewhere around Patch…3 I think? It used to be so performant, but now it runs only at 40-60fps on my Nvidia 3090 compared to the DX11 renderer which can render at 80-120 T_T

Valve should totally hook her up with one of those dev accounts that have access to games so she doesn’t have to pay for it themselves or get gifted them. She’s doing valuable work for the ecosystem.

Here’s the adapter I use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b6w814wXvc

Did you copy the wrong link? This was a random youtube video.

Good to hear that some adapters do work though. The lack of HDMI 2.1 basically prevented me from ever considering AMD, but if there are converters that work that certainly opens up my options.

Do they support VRR though? Last I heard that was still an issue with these converters.

A lot of displays don’t support DP unfortunately. I have an LG C2 which is perfect for desktop use and one of the more affordable OLED screens out there, and it does not support DP. The PC monitor equivalent that uses the same panel is made by Asus, but that one has a $600 dollar mark up.

Yeah but none of that means they’re giving up the consumer space. This is all just conjecture.

I see. And the rest of your services are all exposed on localhost? Hmm, darn, it really looks like there’s no way to use user-defined networks.

I am guessing you’re not running Caddy itself in a container? Otherwise you’ll run into the same real IP issue.

I see! So I am assuming you had to configure Nginx specifically to support this? Problem is I love using Nginx Proxy Manager and I am not sure how to change that to use socket activation. Thanks for the info though!

Man, I often wonder whether I should ditch docker-compose. Problem is there’s just so many compose files out there and its super convenient to use those instead of converting them into systemd unit files every time.

Yeah, I thought about exposing ports on localhost for all my services just to get around this issue as well, but I lose the network separation, which I find incredibly useful. Thanks for chiming in though!

Pasta is the default, so I am already using it. It seems like for bridge networks, rootlesskit is always used alongside pasta and that’s the source of the problem.

All of this is still irrelevant. If given the same hardware, one OS performs better than another, then one OS is obviously more optimized…

You’re saying a lot of words but it all just boils down to “throw more hardware at the problem”.

How is this relevant? If an OS performs better on old hardware, it’s still an indication that it is more optimized.

If anything, it’s Epic that will succumb to capitalism because they’ve been failing to innovate on their platform since the beginning. EGS is still a glorified game launcher without any platform features. Where’s the equivalent to Steam Input, Remote Play and Remote Play Together, Family Sharing, Chat, Discussion Boards, Proton, Steam Deck, etc.?

Maybe spend some of that Fortnite money on your platform instead of buying up exclusives…

Ah I guess Linux Mint doesn’t have the latest driver in there yet. That’s a bummer. When it comes out, I do recommend that you upgrade though.

Oh come on, that camera bar sticks out so much. I am so tired of this design gimmick. Every Pixel phone with a case already looks ridiculously thick just so that the stupid bar is protected. With how thick it looks on the Pixel 9, the whole phone is just going to be a chonker by the time someone slaps a case on it.

All this coming at a time when my perfectly fine Pixel 5 just got EOLed is demoralizing.

You should really be using the 550 drivers at this point.

There’s also a bug with Halo Infinite where frame pacing is bad until you toggle vsync on and off.
