don't assume malice for what can be explained by incompetence
In Japan, there is tax benefits if your car fits certain dimensions. That's why there are so many small boxy cars in Japan. I don't understand why this isn't a thing anywhere else. It has so many benefits: Fuel economy, parking space, pedestrian safety, …
But no, "I can see better if I sit higher" is still the #1 killer argument for these urban tanks.
Unfortunately, SteamVR on Linux has a flickering bug that hasn't been fixed in years, making games unplayable if the game is running at anything less than full FPS. It's fine if you play less demanding games, though. (I use Valve Index and AMD RX 7900 XT)
If you use Envision instead of SteamVR, it works perfectly smooth. However, Envision isn't fully compatible with all games. I got a particular issue where the wrist positions are slightly misplaced in VRChat, but there are already WIP changes to fix that.
So, all in all, not great, but it works. I hope SteamVR improves when Valve's new headset comes out.
Could it be that you're running out of VRAM? The NVIDIA driver is unable to swap VRAM to RAM, so even just a tiny bit of leakiness of the game will make performance eventually deteriorate when VRAM fills up.
I tried the all-in-one server Mox two years ago and it just worked. In fact, I'm still productively using it to this day.
The spam filter could be a little better, but it does a good enough job IMO.
A true mainstream Linux distro would need guidelines like this:
- The user is never be expected to type a command into a terminal.
- The user is never be expected to edit a configuration file.
- There is a graphical UI for every possible action the user might want to (or have to) do.
This especially includes:
- Configuring audio devices
- Installing graphics drivers
- Updating the operating system
- Managing applications and storage space
- Connecting to networked storage
- Adjusting kernel parameters (This is neccessary on certain hardware, yet, barely any distro has a graphical UI for it.)
The only distro that comes close to this is Linux Mint, but not even Mint covers everything I just mentioned.
If we want Linux to succeed, there needs to be at least one distro that confidently ships without a terminal.
My wife is Australian, but we live in Germany now. Last year, she was craving "Honey Chicken" which is ubiquitous at Chinese takeaway places in Australia. None of the Chinese places in Germany knew what I was talking about. Turns out Honey Chicken is a purely Australian invention.
