If you’re addicted to a game, your phone battery is the least of your problems.
Dxvk is usually better, but using vulkan is the better strategic move, you’ll increase their vulkan stats and provide QA. Good native vulkan support will beat dxvk every time.
Well yeah, but the problem is typically the people who you don’t want you calling you in the middle of night are also the ones willing to call you a few times till you pick up.
Linux only just hit 2% market share
That’s steam players, linux on desktop is estimated at 4%, and 6% if you count chromeos.
Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don’t abuse it.
It’s not that you can’t do it, but rather that it’s very much a windows concept, applications on linux don’t need to hog your attention and dig through your data by starting with the OS. On linux you start an application when you need it. Setting up startup applications is usually a bit hard to find simply because it’s not a feature that people care much for so you typically have to dig a bit to do it.
There’s the new UMU launcher that allows running proton outside of steam. Winehq also works fine by itself, at the end of the day proton is just a fork of wine with a few patches and relies on plenty of shared components like dxvk and vkd3d.
Blizzard games have always had good linux compatibility. Might change now that they’ve bought by microsoft though.
As for ubisoft games they probably run too, launchers are a pita but they do run, you’ll need something like lutris, bottles or heroic launcher to get you started running shit outside of steam, they’re not necessary but they make things simpler.
The problem is that you’re trying to do shit like if you were still on windows. Linux doesn’t really have startup applications, we use daemons for everything that needs to start with the OS, everything else is meant to be launched manually.
However you can still do what you’re asking for, and it’ll depend on the DE not the distribution. Ubuntu and Pop OS use gnome that has an option to set startup programs in gnome tweaks.
Weird that they’d actively block higher resolutions on linux, it certainly doesn’t stop their shit from getting pirated in windows.
No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming
Is that actually a thing? Firefox has a drm button toggle and prime worked fine last time I used it.
poorly written code and tight code
This is where you guys lose me, it’s just code that not optimized for size and that’s because most people don’t give a shit about that. People want want their 4k assets, their localization, their accessibility features, their application to run on any device… All this comes at a cost. You want to change things, that’s fine, but start by understanding why things are the way they are because shitting on developers won’t get you anywhere.
Size doesn’t matter much when you have SSDs that read upwards of 5000mb/s. It’s why we’re seeing an advent of web-based apps despite them being woefully inefficient, and why games regularly go above 100gb. The reason file size gets so large is that assets can take up a lot of space and they come with plenty of libraries that they just have to bundle. These “small size” software optimize for size at other costs, like speed, asset quality, development time… Reducing file size is just not relevant anymore and if anything you should be wary of software that do it.
Firefox knows the difference though, it won’t pull your passwords or login cookies. But yeah, it’s very easy to fall for phishing attempts, I just never click on anything sent in a mail to be safe.
Arch is designed to take up your free time by making you build everything from scratch
That’s a weird take, arch provides repositories ootb and is meant to be used with pacman, you’re maybe confusing with gentoo?
I’ve had librewolf specific bugs absent in firefox, definitely not a strict upgrade.
You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you’re new to wine. Lutris doesn’t just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk… Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.
The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they’d probably just keep your brain in a jar.
