GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You - sh.itjust.works

So… Is this a good thing? Bad thing? Gut reaction says that probably not the greatest for GOG, being detached from a huge publisher like CD Projekt probably isn’t great for a niche marketplace. In their faqs it states that GOG had a strong year financially but they would of course bill it that way. The question about why the new owner did so also just sounded disingenuous. Interested to see where this goes from here. While I love gog and am a patron, their Linux support leaves a lot to be desired. The sole fact that cloud saves are such a pain to get working has led me to switch back to steam. I hope with these changes they can maybe get some support on Linux.

Wayland and Sunshine (Streaming Games) - sh.itjust.works

Howdy, I’ve been trying to get sunshine setup on my arch (btw) install and things aren’t going the smoothest. My PC has a 4080 and is hardwired to my wifi 7 router and the device I’m streaming to is an AYN Thor. All of those should be relatively beefy devices so there shouldn’t be any bottlenecks there. When I begin streaming a game however, my Thor displays my incoming framerate from the network as, at most, ~30ish FPS. This is despite the fact I can see the game running on my PC at 120+ FPS. Doing some googling it looks like the most likely culprit is just Wayland’s compositor, I guess? It was suggested to try in x11, but Jesus I would hate having to log out of my Wayland instance and into x11 just to stream games. Anyone stream games on their Linux install? Can anyone think of anything else I can try to increase the framerate? Would really like for this just to work and not need to have a whole process to stream something basic like Xcom or something. Thanks for your guys’ insight!
