Steam announced Steam Machines, a ridiculously elegant PC that will probably be both overpriced and underperforming.
I don’t even really see how I could insert it in my household for it to make sense.

So obviously, I’m in. Gimme.

Yeah but like I said on my last post, mangohud doesn’t work for every game.

Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon for example, don’t display MangoHud.

@[email protected] those are easy ones, what you want is MangoHud and libstrangle, both work well with steam and most other launchers. steam also has a built in fps counter you can turn on in settings/in game that's really nice, they're both in repo on most distros. but the main source is here otherwise. https://gitlab.com/torkel104/libstrangle https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud

So yeah, my BIG issue this week has been to find an equivalent to Afterburner for fps count, and for the nvidia windows drivers with the possibility to set a global fps cap.

Very, very unconclusive for now.

I mean MangoHud works, when it feels like working. Which is certainly not what I’m looking in a fps limiter. Tested 4 games, 2 didn’t display anything.
It’s too bad because I like the look of it.

I don’t use a lot of the classical problem cases like photoshop or whatever, so the list is limited.
I really need a fps counter and limiter, though, and so far my attempts have been unconclusive at best.

@[email protected] I was thinking to switch to linux too 🤔 Are you sure all the programs you need can also run on linux ?

I’m coldly furious.

Once I’m done going linux (and good luck to my mental health in case of trouble), I’m taking a deep look at shit corps like google that compare climate activists to extremists.
Need to find a search engine.

And use Proton Drive.

Fuck every corp. They are not our friends. Why threat them like one.

#linux #google

A windows security update that threatens to destroy your SSD and Microsoft themselves asking the help of the FBI to rat out those pesky palestinian supporters inside their org.

In.The.Same.Week.

That’s it, people. I’m going linux.

#windows #linux

Silly me, it was Dosbox Staging.

Ugh, I draw a blank. What was the fancy recent dosbox equivalent with scanlines support, already ?

#PcEmulation

Unfortunate that SteamOS release is on ValveTime, but eh.
