 davidak | * Makuru: the windows program Lossless Scaling does not need motion data from the game engine and just upscales the output image using their own proprietary model. there is an open source tool that can use this model that works on linux: https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk
there is a nix package: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&query=lsfg
here is a LTT video that demonstrates the difference in the result with DLSS and Lossless Scaling. The motion data helps a bit to reduce artifacts, but it's not that noticeable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCKbt8hBYAo

 woobilicious | I think technically, FSR and DLSS have 100% accurate motion data since they're calculated from the movement of objects in the GPU pipeline, while LS reconstructs motion data the same way a video codec or motion upscaler works on a 120hz TV. The Artifacts you see in LS look very similar to those found in other temporal upscaling algos | 03:05:04 |
| woobilicious | Anyone know if heroic end up getting removed from nixpkgs, or did maintenance get taken over? I can't seem to find the PR | 03:11:29 |
 Emma [it/its] | well, it was last updated 3 months ago by a treewide change | 03:41:05 |
| Emma [it/its] | the last actual update was 4 months ago, but its still in nixpkgs | 03:41:46 |
| Emma [it/its] | oh it was taken over on unstable a month ago, didnt hit 25.05:
| 03:43:22 |
| woobilicious | Emma [it/its]: thanks! I use heroic a lot was was wary of the update | 03:49:28 |

 K900 | Presumably an FOD? | 07:45:25 |
| codebam | oh ok sorry, my internet is just slow-ish I guess | 07:46:33 |

 Marie | they made cachy os 2 | 14:52:23 |
| Marie | https://git.pika-os.com/kernel-packages/linux-pikaos-6.17/src/branch/main/patches | 14:52:25 |
| Marie | "gaming distro" with random kernel patches seems to be becoming a trend | 14:54:38 |
| K900 | Nah they just stole the cachyos patches | 14:55:45 |
| Marie | I only heard about it because a friend sent me this: https://github.com/PikaOS-Linux/falcond/ | 15:00:54 |
| Marie | which also looks questionable | 15:01:10 |
 Linux DADDY | How do i use it? | 17:13:31 |
| K900 | This is not a thing you should use | 17:37:46 |
| Linux DADDY | Okay sure.
They're a lot of software packages or whatever you say but why it's recommended not to use all of them? | 17:41:52 |
| K900 | Why not install literally every single thing possible? | 18:16:09 |
| 2 Nov 2025 |
| Linux DADDY | Because i don't need them. | 02:42:01 |
| K900 | And you need this random thing someone wrote that promises to get you MORE FAST without explaining exactly how? | 07:06:17 |
