Beyond moderation, Phoronix is a case study in why downvotes are a good thing. Those idiots going on dumb tangents would continue, while the rest of us can read the actual worthwhile comments (which does happen, given AMD employees and the like comment there sometimes).
four- or five-episode series.
It was six episodes. That’s how much was needed to cover how much of a piece of shit Vince is.
Correct - FSR already applies CAS. I don’t think applying another CAS pass on top of that will work out too well.
True. I was assuming sharpening was disabled altogether, but if it’s just set not strong enough, that’s a different matter.
It’s still a better option than using the Play store if you really need a newer build, but yeah, not my first choice.
There’s sometimes third party repos that are updated faster. Or you can use obtainium and get updates straight from github.
It’s there for me. I’m using Droid-ify but it’s the official repo.
If you want to use with mpv, try this:
ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 mpv --vo=gpu-next --target-colorspace-hint --gpu-api=vulkan --gpu-context=waylandvk
Although I’m surprised you didn’t get a HDR monitor prompt just from enabling the option on the desktop.
Nope, those converters do not allow the HDMI 2.1 spec.
They exist now, although I don’t think there is a working DP 2.0 -> HDMI 2.1 converter yet, so you have to use DSC (visually lossless compression).
Are you using a DP -> HDMI converter? I know they can be temperamental.
You can try switching VTs back and forth (CTRL-ALT-F1 <-> CTRL-ALT-F7), and maybe switching resolution back and forth could help.
Make sure you have the latest kernel and try the latest Plasma 6. If all of that fails, you can try Steam with gamescope running in KMS mode (easiest way to test this would probably be Bazzite or Nobara if your distribution doesn’t support it), but it’s also a bit temperamental with enabling HDR.
No, that’s the first I’ve heard of it too. That forum looks to be pretty active so maybe some insight can be gained there.
Thing is, the colors on my HDR display are all washed out on the desktop if I enable HDR.
Sometimes this can be a bug and HDR isn’t properly enabled. Do you get any sort of HDR notification on your display (i.e. from the monitor/tv UI)?
Steam Controller, although both of the ones I’ve owned have developed hardware problems. I’m dreading the day they kick the bucket and I have to switch back to a conventional controller.
The only kinda irritating thing is the game mode update changelog displays the steamos notes and not bazzite notes
And you have to do a Bazzite update to make it go away, which is slightly annoying. I’m not sure if you can do it from the Steam UI either, although I can always SSH in.
It is definitely relevant if you buy new hardware when it’s initially released, although Mesa devs seem to be getting better at having it mostly ready by that point. I know historically there were times where you really had to be at the very bleeding edge, and updating to the very latest kernel and firmware was necessary.
It’s kind of vague, but presumably it supports sd cards and/or a USB drive. The Wii is pretty easy to mod for digital “backups” from what I recall, and there were plenty of official digitally supported games (although I don’t think that still works today).
I only buy Xiaomi phones because the bootloader is unlockable. The stock UI is eh.
I hope that the EU regulation forcing 5 years of updates for phones and tablets starting June 2025 will allow me a compact flagship phone with aux, big battery and updates for a long time.
I just wish there was a PC compatible like standard for smartphones (and ARM in general). If smartphones were like PCs where a third party can relatively easily maintain 10+ years support, worrying about whether a manufacturer cares to update becomes irrelevant.
