I jumped in to point out the flaw in the YouTube experiment you're referring to.

That 1:1 conversion through the same codec is very likely lossy. However that's not a straight file copy which is what you originally said causes degradation.

That's YouTube's processed video not the original.

I think the newer immutable distros will become the more mainstream option.

In practice it behaves more like a phone where you use sandboxed apps and the base system cannot be modded.

However on immutable distros you can make changes to the system but only with a specific method. This is how the Steam Deck is setup and I can see it working very well for the average user.

What's funny is that Brave Shields appear to be a fancy UI around uBlock. The element picker UI isn't drastically changed.

The wallet was for a whole just Metamask (it is now it's own implementation which is nice).

Gnome and KDE both have browsers, they're just rarely the defaults.

Gnome Web is decent, but it tiles heavy like iPhoje Safari while still being very slow. It does support Firefox sync which is pretty cool.

I haven't tried the KDE browser in a long time so I can't speak for it.

Even though I knew already, had I not I would have appreciated the above comment. It would save me the time of seeking out the source and finding out it's status.

Especially since this community is named FOSS and not Libre Software.

I know that may sound pedantic, but consider the difference in getting recommended something like Obsidian in a note taking community for example.

2nd logseq. It's extremely versatile. For example, I generate my graph to a static website and publish it. However it only includes pages I mark public.

I like that you don't have to think so much about organization when you are writing the note if you tag things heavily. You can always refine it later into a dedicated page.

It's like it encapsulates the conjuring state prior to building a personal wiki.

This happens with Mastodon too. But each wave more people stick around.

I've found great content in here and it has the good vibes of early reddit I miss so much.

I really only use reddit for search engine results now.

There are also a number of compatibility issues on Windows itself thanks to the mess of DirectX workarounds they need to add to the drivers with each new game.

Wow I am so surprised by this. I watch mainly tech and gardening YouTube and my shorts have been extremely applicable to me.

Even when I use a new computer like at work the shorts are mostly pop culture.

Didn't make shorts any less annoying though

And you can play all of your historical games, and emulate every console since the dawn of time.

I don't know if this is desired, however I personally would appreciate compatibility reports for newly released games.

Since I preordered with early access I can contribute.

System:

CPU: 7800x3d
GPU: 7900xtx Nitro+
Memory: 32gb ddr5 6000mhz
OS: Fedora 38 KDE (Wayland session)
Runtime: Proton Experimental

Game launches flawlessly and remains stable when alt+tab'ing out of the window.

Steam overlay flickers if you open it in game but does function.

Settings:

4k medium, VSync off, no FSR gets me mid 60's fps.

4k medium, VSync off, FSR2 Quality gets me 80fps (with dips into low 70's).

(Default) 4k medium, VSync off, FSR2 with 50% resolution scale. In this configuration I get 100-120fps.

Unfortunately, the game does not have VRR so it locks to the monitors refresh rate (manually set to 120hz in my case).

As such the game does stutter when it dips in frames so you may want to target your 1% lows or avg fps to guarantee a smooth experience.

8/10

At medium the game does look good, although the sprites for fire could be better and have more bloom.

If they add VRR, and steadily work to optimize performance this could easily reach a 10/10.
