 @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:nixos.dev | 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 |

 littlejohn (jcray) | managed to somewhat cure my slow steam download speed issue by trying the advice in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/16e1l4h/slow_steam_downloads_try_this/
disabling http2 increased download speed from from approx 50 mbps to approx 300 mbps and holding. the same machine running windows downloads steam games close to my connection speed of 1gbps, so still further investigating to do (possible DNS issues as suggested earlier, LUKS overhead?). | 08:46:07 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | littlejohn: That's odd. | 10:12:09 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Monitor system stats | 10:12:46 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Is there significant iowait during downloads? | 10:12:54 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | 300mbit/s is just ~30MB/s, that's not a lot for drives to handle. | 10:13:27 |
