  • I’ve had an issue where nvidia drivers stopped working. For half a day while the update was rolling in. Thankfully linux has super easy rollback feature that automagically activates when you force restart using the power button.

    Seriously, ever since I went to “shitty, always broken tinkerers toy not a real os for real people” linux, I have not had to use the switch on my psu. Seems it’s literally only there for windows.



  • In my experience as well, fedora just works more than windows. Games work and run better without crashing. No bsods. No needing to manually start drivers for my tablet and restart my DAC.

    Only thing windows has is coherent one release and exclusives in terms of a few softwares. Like adobe which is a scam now.

    And the second advantage will vanish with more people on linux.











  • I went cold turkey to gnome and I use KDE on my laptop. Both configured to use super + type in what I want to open. I quit windows since I got used to it and they stopped providing it. I like both but gnome is way more finished while kde feels a bit janky at times. I really love the customization ability of KDE and I find once I messed up and had to reinstall once, I got over my urges to needlessly rice. I don’t know if it is distro specific but I am pretty upset fedora gnome does not have create new file under right click but you have to use terminal (goes completely against gnome philosophy) or to go edit hidden folders and use terminal to create a template (goes very against gnome philosophy).







  • Lighting bakes are done on a very small texture and only one texture sheet per asset. For a single 4k PBR texture with alpha (and more mask maps in case you want moss or snow or whatever) you could have around 8x4(plus any extra masks) for 512 or 4x4(plus any extra maps) 1k lightmaps. Not to mention lightmaps are simple 0 to 255 channel rather than 3x255 for rgb. Besides dynamic lights are used whenever performance allows making the savings smaller.
