 littlejohn (jcray) | anyone know a solution for slow steam downloads? getting about 5% of my connection speed. Have faced this problem on other linux distros on the same machine and never managed to solve it (speeds are fine on windows). Connection speed is fine on agnostic speed tests, just seems to be steam affected. Have tried various filesystems. Seems like a known classic blunder on linux but wanted to check if anyone here has insight | 04:29:00 |
 K900 | Never had that issue tbh | 07:21:49 |
| K900 | Maybe it just picked the wrong mirror? | 07:21:55 |
| K900 | You can check in the settings | 07:21:58 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | littlejohn: Might be DNS. You'd think not but I've seen more mundane things being caused by DNS. | 08:59:00 |
 oak | I'm not sure did I already ask, but is there someone here who could merge this change: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/262121 ? | 11:10:27 |

 Miss_Turtle | Hey, is it possible to play fortnite on nixos? I tried heroic but it just gets full white i tried the unstable version but it keeps saying their is an update.
| 11:12:49 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Miss_Turtle: It's got like two(?) anticheats and neither of them is configured to work on Linux. | 11:14:25 |
| Miss_Turtle | Oh okey, thanks anyway!

Hey Miss_Turtle , you can rum a windows VM, and GPU pass through , we have the nixos code to get you running if you want to have a bit of fun | 18:58:45 |
| K900 | Pretty sure Fortnite will fail to start if it detects a VM | 19:00:06 |
| nixinator | ouch... in that case... .. :-( | 19:01:57 |
 lassulus | don't you need a second graphicscard for gpu passthrough? | 19:33:19 |
| K900 | Not necessarily | 19:33:26 |
| K900 | But it does make things more complicated | 19:33:30 |
| lassulus | in what cases does it work without another card? | 19:33:51 |
| K900 | It works if you detach your main GPU from the system at runtime | 19:34:18 |
| K900 | And reattach it to the VM | 19:34:20 |
| K900 | (and then do the reverse) | 19:34:26 |
| lassulus | ic, sounds interesting, is there code for that? | 19:38:27 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | lassulus: Code at what part? The kernel supports it and there are dozens of scripts people made for their setups but nothing robust AFAIK. | 20:33:51 |

 poacher | does the proton easyanticheat runtime work with nixos? | 13:11:18 |
