I’m really enjoying wefwef. It’s basically Apollo for lemmy

I don’t trust myself to not lose my entire Bitwarden vault in a house fire or failed hard drive

How sensitive do you set the gyro? Are you primarily aiming/looking around with gyro and only using trackpad to sweep or move to a general location like with flick stick? Or is it more like 80% moving around with trackpad and fine aiming with gyro?

I get a similar feeling with my backlog. I find as I’ve gotten older and got a stressful job I don’t really want to put in the effort to learn new controls for games or follow a story. I used to love playing rpgs like final fantasy and assassins creed but now I can’t convince myself to play through horizon zero dawn or the Witcher 3. It just feels like a chore for some reason

Is this a similar concept to NewPipe?

Looks awesome! What do you like about xfce that brings you back? I’m currently using arch with gnome

No. I really hope a few million users move over to lemmy and make it a bigger platform. I want to see more diverse content more frequently. I don't need infinite content like on Reddit but I don't want to see the same posts days in a row.

Yeah the anticheat issue is very annoying. These games would run great on Linux if devs didn't implement kernel level anticheat or would enable EAC / BattleEye support for proton. From what I can tell (just reading the docs) it seems extremely easy for devs to enable it. Maybe 1-2 hours of work.

Dang hearing this realllly makes me want to switch to an AMD GPU. I recently got a 3080 and have been happy with it on xorg but feel like I'm just waiting forever for nvidia to maybe implement the entire feature set needed for wayland. Feels bad because gaming, screen recording and streaming feels great on it with xorg but want to use wayland.

I'm excited to see if the artifacting issues when gaming that I was experiencing on earlier versions of the nvidia driver are resolved now. My biggest issue with wayland (it's minor but annoying) is that when I lock the screen on gnome the monitor backlight stays on. The screen goes to sleep but then the monitor backlight kicks on and I can see the cursor and a black background. This doesn't happen in xorg and I haven't been able to pinpoint what the issue is.

The work around is to manually turn off the monitors when using wayland but annoying as it's a basic feature and should just work.

I wasn't able to get Battle Bit running on my Arch install either. I am able to run Apex though so probably an issue with Battle Bit. It doesn't really have Linux support since they are switching to FaceIt soon

If you're just getting started I think it's totally fine to test the waters with a dual boot. A lot of games work great on Linux now even unsupported games like League of Legends and Blizzard games via Lutris or Bottles.

Another option I didn't see anyone recommend is doing a QEMU KVM GPU passthrough. So you would boot up the VM for gaming in windows and pass your gpu through. It's a bit of work to get running stable / performant but then you don't have to restart your machine every time you want to game or run Windows only software. The downside is games like Valorant and Genshin Impact won't work in a VM.
