 K900 | Or wine-wayland which just does normal Wayland things | 11:43:35 |
 niklaskorz | yup | 11:43:40 |
| niklaskorz | and realistically speaking I don't see a need to change that, Proton Wayland worked well enough for the past few months that I'm sure it'll be ready for wider use in 2026 | 11:44:22 |
 Sandro 🐧 | I had some issues with gamescope before. Depending on how you use it, it uses LD_PRELOAD which sometimes causes issues | 14:49:11 |
| K900 | It doesn't anymore | 14:50:02 |
| K900 | It used to leak it from steamrt sometimes but now it doesn't | 14:50:10 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Mixing up gamescope with gamemode | 14:51:28 |
| K900 | Oh, don't use gamemode, it's garbage | 14:51:49 |
| niklaskorz | scx_bpfland combined with PROTON_CPU_TOPOLOGY (for 3D-cache reasons) has completely removed my need for gamemode | 14:58:55 |
| Sandro 🐧 | any other recommendations to nice the game? | 15:13:30 |
| K900 | Don't | 15:13:49 |
| K900 | Mostly | 15:13:50 |
| K900 | The kernel is generally perfectly capable of figuring out what a game is | 15:13:59 |
| Sandro 🐧 | well, for anything audio it isn't. If you don't have polkit it is miserable. | 15:15:39 |
| Sandro 🐧 | also I'd rather have Twitch lag than my game | 15:15:47 |
| K900 | Do you mean rtkit | 15:16:38 |
| K900 | And is your user in the pipewire group | 15:16:44 |
| niklaskorz | I'd say try out scx_lavd or scx_bpfland if you haven't yet | 15:22:40 |
| niklaskorz | afaik the Steam Deck also defaults to scx_lavd | 15:23:23 |
 Marie | is that also the case for letting a game run only on the cores with bigger cache on X3D cpus? | 15:28:52 |
| Marie | thats basically the only reason why i use gamemode | 15:29:09 |
| K900 | ish | 15:29:55 |
| K900 | The kernel will just generally prefer the big cache cores | 15:30:03 |
| K900 | Unless configured to do the opposite | 15:30:07 |
| K900 | It doesn't technically differentiate workloads but it also doesn't really need to | 15:30:40 |
| K900 | Not yet | 15:30:47 |
| K900 | But they're working on making it an option | 15:30:53 |
| K900 | Presumably with eyes towards eventually defaulting to it | 15:31:01 |
| niklaskorz | oh I see, I assumed since Jovian defaults to scx_lavd that was copied from what SteamOS does | 15:31:19 |
| K900 | Jovian doesn't | 15:31:31 |
