Hey Linux Gaming Community,

Kind of new to Lemmy, i already posted elsewhere but this is actually the place i wanted it to be. Definetly prefer Lemmy over something like Reddit and its alternatives.

Anyway i've been quietly benchmarking 700+ games on Linux with full MangoHud data (frametime, 1% lows, VRAM) across CachyOS, Fedora, and Kubuntu. Not gameplay footage - actual performance data. Figured this community might find it useful somehow. Channel link : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNq7pDavJRTEjg3AOdcuMAg

On the off chance the channel is legit; ain’t no way Im following a random QR code from the net. This was pointed out the first time you did it.

QR codes on the net make no sense.

If I'm on the net... I'm already on the device that I want to visit a webpage from, just link to the webpage.

QR codes are for sharing something from one thing to another where there is no common interface other than a camera. The internet is already a common interface for sending me a URL, you don't need a QR code.

For example:

If I were browsing on my phone, the only QR reader I have uses the camera. I can't take a picture of my phone using my phone. I can't use the QR code.

If I were on my PC, I dont have a QR reader at all except on my phone, and I'm on my PC, why would I want to switch to my phone.

Sharing a QR code on lemmy/piefed never makes any sense.

Some people use qr reader apps that show them the contents of the qr code before allowing them to choose to open or not.

I can respect that, good security practice. No worries. My enthusiasm for Linux and gaming is what made me share, thats all. Have a great day

And I appreciate that enthusiasm! Please keep posting just consider dropping the QR next time is my 2c is all.

Haha i got hooked on the QR code thingie, thinking it would help spread the channel as YouTube is so fragmented. But thanks, ill keep it in mind.
