Proton crackling audio

Proton crackling audio - Lemmy.World

Starting about a month ago, I started getting lots of crackling audio in games. Not sure what the issue is. It tends to be with loud noises, almost sounds like clipping. Anyone else had this?

Computer briefly black-screens and closes everything

Computer briefly black-screens and closes everything - Lemmy.world

I’m on arch, using KDE. AMD CPU and GPU. For the last few months, my computer will occasionally go into a TTY briefly and show a few things (way too fast to read) and then shoot me back to the desktop where every program that was running is closed. Almost like a mini crash. Super weird. I tried looking in /car/log, but couldn’t find anything relevant. Anyone know what’s up with this?

Is Gentoo more-or-less pointless for the average Linux user?

More specifically, Portage. I know use flags and “optimization” are all the hype, but really, would the average user even see a benefit from customizing all their use flags? Especially a benefit that compensates for the constant compilation? I installed it once to help grow my e-peen, but immediately switched back to Arch after watching my system compile. Those who daily drive it, do compilation and use flags annoy you, and do you see any real benefit?
