NVIDIA driver 555.58 released as stable bringing Wayland Explicit Sync

This driver looks all good, I'll give it a test sometime.

BUT PLEASE NVIDIA add in DLSS Frame Generation support, its really one of the last missing features outside of App/Software stuff.

Could it be DRM misbehaving by freaking out in the background. I think this game has its own extra DRM layer on top of steam doesn't it?

Really wish NVIDIA would introduce Frame Generation for their Linux drivers. I don't use it often but it be nice to be able to use it when it matters/useful.

Maybe they should go after MS Windows for the constant gatekeeping shit that goes on there.

-No OLED
-Uses Windows11
-No Trackpad zones
-Is using AI advertising!


They also need to stop making these cost the same as laptops, if I have to shell out 800USD, then I'm going for a similarly specked laptop for functionality. They should aim for 500-600USD MAX!

Seems to tick most the boxes except for price and that damn Windows install. I presume Microsoft basically gives them windows for free via OEM keys which is why we see all these companies using a non-handheld-friendly OS (windows).

It amazes me that these big companies have NOBODY in their department who can rebuilt up a compatible version of SteamOS or modify one of the free-respin steamos versions for their handheld. They could even slap their logo and name all over it, throw it up on github as a fork. BUT NO, they only have people educated in winblows! sad

if it was all open-source then I think they'd find a audience to sell to.

No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve

I wonder if Valve will setup a expected death of account owner timer. So once you turn 80yo they consider you dead and invalidate your entire library, lol. That would be dystopian but I suspect in 40years time we will all have MUCH more pressing issues to deal with other then computer stuff.

KDE Plasma 6.1 Beta released with Wayland Explicit Sync support

Quoting: Pyrateit wasn't really a big deal at the end.

Every game supports HDR, some benefit GREATLY from it and can negate the entire need for reshade or enb profiles when using HDR which does a lot of colour and brightness/exposure balancing itself.

Special-K has very good AutoHDR integration now. Also if you don't have a OLED, I don't know why you'd bother with HDR.

Need better HDR support (for nvidia at least) and DLSS Frame Generation (again from NVIDIA).

Then I can turn off this win10 VM and run some stuff via proton. I don't know when those 2 things will happen, nvidia has hinted at making it so but time will tell.
