That one doesn't seem to do bluetooth at all, I think?

Can we not allow them to continue letting you buy games (outside the launcher) and not shut up?

Thanks! I have not put much effort into mouse settings.

As a competitive old school arena FPS guy, I have also had a very hard time getting the same smoothness and low latency (input, output, whatever it is) on Linux. The games I play are very fast and twitchy, and milliseconds matter.

There seems to be too many layers and variables to ever get to the bottom of it. Is it the distro itself? Is it a Wayland vs. X11 thing? Is it the driver? The Proton version? Some G-SYNC thing? Some specific tweak that games based on this game engine needs?

> It's a complete dealbreaker for competitive play

Very true, and this is the biggest issue for me when it comes to gaming on Linux. And it's not just raw FPS count. You can usually brute force your way around that with better hardware. (I'm guessing you could probably get a locked 60 in Street Fighter 6 even with a 30% performance loss?). It's things like input lag and stutter, which in my experience is almost impossible to resolve.

If it weren't for competitive shooters, I could probably go all Linux. But for now I still need to switch over to Windows for that.

Are there games running at 4k 120hz?

Speaking of exaggerations, there is some hilarious marketing language on those pages. A couple of examples:

Right. Clients (web browsers) would have to stop using it too for it to work I guess.

Your second example would also be prevented by just not serving on port 80 as the parent comment suggests, no?

Kubuntu is nice. Not sure why it's not more popular. Or maybe it's just a quieter user base?

Ok thanks. That sounds reasonable.

>... and therefore you can unredact them

from that readme is just not true then I guess?

I was thinking I understand what's going on but then I came to the image showing the diff and I don't understand at all how that diff can unredact anything.

I agree. It would have been tempting to send someone who doesn't listen to Dylan at all, but what a waste that would have been. This guy deserved it.

I'm not the person you are replying to, but like all of technology, you just find the latest (or most public) change made, and then fire your blame-cannon at it.

Nothing is stopping you from doing this with Proxmox, right?
