in my experience seeing a few new people come through our support channels the immutables unfortunately had a bigger learning curve

I learned some irritating lessons uninstalling everything from that list a few times. one of these days I’ll go through and set --asdeps so I remember why they’re installed

I’ll have to give that a go. the last one I looked at was already abandoned before I heard about it

I switched to a container running nginx proxy manager and haven’t looked back yet. I learned a whole lot setting up my proxy and TLS manually but now it’s really nice to be able to let the tool do its thing.

all I’m saying is, it sucks that this shit isn’t upstream

I miss the bygone era of right click > publish

ah, a Minecraft launcher. thought I just saw a post lamenting how few decent third party launchers there are

bleeding edge fsr does similarly I’m pretty sure

nah nah nah addressing the room is all

Coincidently one of the things they list (named pipes) as an improvement is something I’ve had a nuisance with for years. there’s multiple things that I would love wine to have that it does not but proton does

for the millionth time they get to stand on the shoulders on all the wine development that came before it. and now we have to reckon with the bullshit of proton patches that never go upstream to make wine better for all

there’s A LOT of levers that can be fiddled with, but there’s some settings that fedora tested out that popos and arch use/recommend

/etc/sysctl.d/99-vm-zram-parameters.confvm.swappiness = 180 vm.watermark_boost_factor = 0 vm.watermark_scale_factor = 125 vm.page-cluster = 0

archwiki tuning has a listing with swappiness set up to 180 (yes apparently the number can go over 100)

more is better, now the UIs can proliferate

umu is in lutris, heroic, Faugus, and zoom so far that Ive heard of. bottles is in the middle of a huge rewrite but they got distracted by the little side project of making a new distro

it’s inevitable for any projects that aren’t protected by strong enough foss license. that’s how they go from open source to source available

lutris pushed runtime updates without regression testing to make sure it worked with lutris 5.17, and then had to push out more updates to fix it. my favorite though was winetricks not being executable

I hope KDE does an implementation for cursor warping in Wayland kwin, it’s clear it won’t get fixed in XWayland any time soon

There’s a section set aside for Itch but I don’t think anybody has added any yet https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-protonfixes/tree/master/gamefixes-itchio
