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

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.
