On the Steam Deck it already “just works” for a lot of games (with an OLED or an external display). So we’re not that far off for those changes propagating to Desktop.
Use Gamescope and a Vulkan layer. Here’s a more detailed post: https://planet.kde.org/xavers-blog-2023-12-18-an-update-on-hdr-and-color-management-in-kwin/
If you get the latest gamescope from git. You no longer need the vulkan layer.
Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40
As someone who owns an LG C1, not a single DP in sight.
Interesting, I’ll have to look at the source article.
But as far as I’m aware the total amount of nuclear power has been decreasing in recent years. This might change with China’s future plants.
I’ve also read about small modular reactor designs gaining traction, which would help alleviate the heavy costs of one off plants we currently design and build.
Not saying the source is wrong, just saying that’s what I used to form my opinion.
I think that’s too simplistic of a view. Part of the high cost of nuclear is because of the somewhat niche use. As with everything, economies of scale makes things cheaper. Supporting one nuclear plant with specialized labor, parts, fuel, etc is much more expensive then supporting 100 plants, per Watt.
I can’t say more plants would drastically reduce costs. But it would definitely help.
My understanding is the display uses MIPI (not eDP) which doesn’t support VRR.
“Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone”
No, you can’t do everything with a phone. A phone doesn’t have the same radios, GPIO for expandability, IR transceiver, etc. Not to mention the radios a phone does have doesn’t like it when you start forcing it to do fun things.
I pretty much always use an external mouse with my NexDock, cause the touchpad is pretty unusable imo. The keyboard is… okay. I wouldn’t really have a good place to put an external keyboard without pushing the nexdock screen too far back.
My NexDock doesn’t charge the steamdeck fast enough with the single cable solution, so I end up using a USB-c hub and power it separately which makes it extremely clunky. You end up with: 2x usb-c cables for power, usb-c hub, hdmi cable, usb cable to nexdock<-> steamdeck. You can get it down to 1x usb-c cable for charging if you alternate between the charging the steamdeck and the nexdock.
I use my NexDock + SteamDeck when traveling and LAN parties. It works fine, a little clunky. I haven’t tried resolutions above 1080p, but as long as you’re not trying to play AAA games, I don’t see it being an issue. Personally I would go with the external monitor. The Nexdock keyboard and mouse is horrendous.
Try setting RADV_PERFTEST=rt in system options->environment variables in Lutris.
You could also update to Mesa 23.2 since it has raytracing enabled for all games by default.
I wish more gaming benchmarks for CPUs included games that are CPU heavy. The only one in this list seems to be Total War, but I skimmed the video and I’m not sure if they even tested campaign turn times vs battle.
Show us Stellaris, Civilization, Oxygen Not Included, etc. Some of them aren’t that popular, but they would at least be a good indicator for future CPU bound games.
I’ve only played Chiv 2 on my desktop, but for EAC games I had to install EAC seperately. I’d assume the SteamDeck would do this for you, but maybe it didn’t install properly?
Higher DPI can improve text rendering. I want this screen specifically for small text. It also doesn’t force you to render everything at 1200p, you can choose to render some games at the old 800p depending on performance or scaling.
Wouldn’t using robots.txt do the same thing without deleting content?
Hmm very different experience for me, I don’t have any problems with the native Linux version. Hardly any crashes or performance issues. I don’t use any mods so maybe that’s the reason.
Yea such a shame since the first has support. A lot of other games published by Paradox has it. Has there been any word from the devs yet?
It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It’s still rough around the edges, but it’s definitely there.
