  • Nvidia 575 beta drivers fix the freezing issues with gamescope.

    Also, the performance hit on Nvidia is only in DX12 games. Vulkan, OpenGL, and DX11 (and older DX) all perform similarly to windows.

  • Roughly on par with windows except in DX12 games where there is a 20ish% performance hit. Nvidia finally officially acknowledged the issue recently, so there should be a fix in the future.

    Vulkan, OpenGL, and DX11 (or older DX) games all work without issue.

  • Most of Percy Jackson took place outside of Camp Half Blood, unlike Harry Potter, which takes place mostly at Hogwarts, so it's not surprising that Hogwarts got more detail. Also, Camp Half Blood had like 50 people in it unlike Hogwarts that had hundreds, so naturally it'd be less noteworthy.

    Edit: I just checked and only 6 of 22 chapters of The Lighting Thief take place at CHB.

  • They sorta do. Flatpak user install puts shims in ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/. You just need to add it to your path.

    I'm pretty sure flatpak system installs are at /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/ so you'd just add that to path.

  • From the article:

    “Industry traffic has declined in major markets like the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Germany. In several markets, we also continue to be negatively impacted by the war in the Middle East,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company’s earnings call.

    So it does seem to be working to some extent.

  • Honestly, good take. I think Starfield is overhated. It definitely isn't Bethesda's best work, but it has its strengths. I just wish they had someone actually advocating for QoL and immersion, like letting you navigate more without the map in ships and masking the warp loading screen better.

  • Plasma 6 is currently in beta, so it really isn't meant to be used for anything other than testing. I have it installed on arch, and honestly it's good enough for my use with wayland, but you will definitely will run into issues. I also use Nvidia, though, so I'd probably have more issues than you will.

    Overall, I only recommend it right now if you can roll back or if it isn't that big of a deal if your install breaks.

  • PIA and Mullvad should have equal speeds because they both have 10gbps servers and wireguard. Both PIA and Mullvad use ram-only servers exclusively. As for search engine captchas, I never get them with Mullvad. The main issue with PIA is that they were bought by a questionable company that previously developed adware. You can read about that here. Personally, I would never use a privacy tool that is owned by an ad company, even if they claim to have changed. I used them up until the acquisition, then switched and have been extremely happy with Mullvad.

  • The English were the ones that created the term soccer. It grew in popularity in America as soccer, then eventually fell out of popularity in Britain. In fact, a lot of the differences between words in the US and Britain are that Brits started using a different version of the word and Americans kept using the old one. Not all, but a lot.
