There’s no emulation. Worst case scenario, the game is using Microsoft’s proprietary DirectX graphics API, so we translate those calls to Vulkan or OpenGL with DXVK. That’s simply out of our control since we cannot see or modify the code, but everything else is running on Linux.

Intel actually uses DXVK on Windows for better compatibility and performance for their Arc GPU’s.

what?

No, if it’s working for you, why bother? Unless you’re the adventurous distro hopper, stick to what’s working for you. I’d only take the time to switch my home to bazzite if Nobara started causing problems.

Gaming.

if you game on Linux you wanna go with bazzite, games “just work” on there without any tweaking or fixing or patching. And in the rare case you do need to patch a game like gmod, they have a built in script for it like ujust fix-gmod

Bluetooth and WiFi never turns back on unless you’re doing it from the control center

Interesting. still annoying tho especially with the whole Flipper Zero shenanigans.

The last article I get but the analytics being reenabled was a bug right?

ehhh? I have no idea how a bug like that happens, it could be my paranoia watching these huge companies play with their consumers that way to not believe it was a bug, but if you read the whole article that “bug” didn’t happen to everyone’s iPhone and Apple responded saying they were “investigating” the issue but never really commented on it afterwards.

I recently went nuclear on Microsoft’s privacy team for constantly emailing me promotions despite being unsubscribed to everything.

is that even legal??

“Significant Locations” and “iPhone Analytics”

also like I said Apple devices likes to randomly re-enable bluetooth or other system settings for some reason

https://www.techradar.com/phones/ios/ios-17-is-resetting-some-users-privacy-settings-and-apple-is-looking-into-it

not the first time they did something anti-consumer via a system update

https://www.ifixit.com/News/9472/ios-update-slows-iphone

this is why I hate both Microsoft and Apple

not sure why this is getting downvoted, this has happened before and even happens on Apple devices where they just re-enable privacy settings you disabled or whatever else the fuck they want like, idk, bluetooth.

also Microsoft “may” block you from updating your system if its unable to reinstall edge like holy shite

Note for Windows users who uninstalled system apps using previous version If you used privacy.sexy (v0.12.6 or v0.12.7) to delete system apps, please follow these steps to avoid potential issues with Windows Updates: Open Command Prompt (Start Menu ➜ type “cmd” ➜ select “Command Prompt”). Copy and paste the following command: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command “Remove-Item -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\EndOfLife*’ -Force -Verbose” Press Enter. This action ensures that there are no side effects related to Windows Updates, since Microsoft may block updates if it is unable to reinstall Edge.

I completely understand that with windows, especially with hibernation like what the fuck is “windows modern standby”

but with Linux, it depends on the distro you use.

if you’re using something such as Pop_OS, I can pretty much guarantee you you’re never going to run into a power management issue or even a driver issue for that matter since its based off of Ubuntu and is very well supported.

definitely this

people buy macs for macos or Chromebooks for chrome os because “windows just sucks because it breaks all the time” mentality you always see on Twitter

bu bu but its “Apple Unifed Memory” and 8GB of that equals to 16GB of regular ram!!1!

Yet everytime you open Twitter they act like they know what they’re talking about and send clown emojis whenever someone responds with a counter argument
