@k900:0upti.meK900Found a Red Hat blog post11:05:02
@k900:0upti.meK9003% performance difference11:05:06
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgIn games it's a lot more than that11:05:15
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgEspecially CPU-bound ones11:05:30
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgIt was a little while ago but something on the order of 10-20%11:05:56
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitecan I automate game installation with lutris on nixos?11:13:37
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteprovide installation instruction for the install wizard, or such?11:13:47
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgTheoretically that's possible but I would highly recommend against it11:14:12
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgTreat game installations as state.11:14:22
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitewould it be possible with some other software?11:14:39
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smite"possible" as "close to a sensible approach"11:15:16
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgLikely but what problem are you trying to solve with that?11:15:19
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitehave my games in dotfiles and nixstore11:15:32
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgAnd what problem are you trying to solve by doing so?11:16:21
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitesatisfy my curiosity11:16:55
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitepush the boundaries of possible11:17:00
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitegit clone nixos-rebuild switch to install my games11:17:16
@k900:0upti.meK900You can definitely automate downloading games with something like steamcmd11:17:45
@k900:0upti.meK900And then build Wine prefixes in Nix 11:17:52
@k900:0upti.meK900But there's a lot of small details 11:18:00
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitefor a few select games though11:19:17
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitemostly old games, but a handful of recent AAA too11:19:27
@k900:0upti.meK900It's definitely possible 11:20:08
@k900:0upti.meK900But you'll have to set it up yourself 11:20:37
@ercao:matrix.org@ercao:matrix.org left the room.15:14:34
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgxrandr sucks to use; adding custom resolutions is a PITA. Is there a more usable alternative?19:11:18
@k900:0upti.meK900Does "don't use X" count lol19:13:05
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgUnfortunately not lol19:13:19
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgAlthough, I'm actually not sure how well sunshine works on wayland?19:13:36
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgBut yeah, that's my use-case. Add a custom resolution for remote gaming on the 16:9 TV downstairs and switch to it when using sunshine.19:14:34
