@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuOnly in the root NS IIRC22:27:29
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuIIRC it looks like you're getting it but cannot actually make use of it22:28:20
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison Jenkins https://github.com/alisonjenkins/nix-config/compare/main...fix/bubblewrap-steam22:29:09
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuI don't remember the details but there's a (closed) issue where I figured that out22:29:12
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsHave a play... Maybe I have accidentally disabled namespaces or something 22:29:31
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuIt's an intentional kernel thing22:29:32
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsEither way it is working 22:29:37
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsI have been playing games in a 2540x1440 borderless window on my 5440x1440 monitor like I like to so I can see discord and watch stuff at the same time with no stutter after 30m and am still able to make use of steam input unlike the LD_PRELOAD workaround 22:32:10
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsAs I say though very much experimenting and probably has downsides and a lot of room for improvement 22:33:07
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuHave you ensured it actually caused the change? Stuff like stutter is super inconsistent and it's totally possible that it happened to not stutter because you started a new session where some other thing was slightly different.22:34:11
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbThe issue isnt gaining caps. Its bwrap removing them22:34:48
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuOne easy means to verify would be to strip the cap again and see whether that actually still stutters22:35:12
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbBwrap removes any caps it doesnt know22:35:16
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbGamescope also tells you if it cant do realtime22:35:35

In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org

Still testing but I could consistently get the stutter problem if I didn't do the LD_PRELOAD="" without these patches. And enabling capSysNice on gamescope basically would break gamescope if launched from Steam.
22:36:43
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemu

Yes, that too. But the underlying issue is on the kernel level where IIRC, when inside a UserNS, you're not allowed to actually do the interesting SYS_NICE things that could DOS the root NS if misused.

I'm not clear on the details though and don't have the capacity; please read the issue.

22:38:57
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsIt would fail to get the capSysNice and abort meaning any game with gamescope in its launch options would fail to launch until you disabled capSysNice 22:38:59
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuThat's just gamescope reacting to the cap query22:39:49
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbtrust you 👍 guess i dont understand whats going on :P sorry22:39:58
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuNo, don't trust me22:40:10
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbdont tell me what to do, im about to go to sleep anyway22:40:29
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsSnap just got into bed22:40:55
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemu

Figure out what's actually happening here because I'm pretty sure what is observed cannot be caused by that.

You could try patching gamescope's SYS_NICE check to see whether that aleo fixes it

22:41:57
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuAnd I need to go to sleep too lol22:42:14
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemu(Typing this from the bed. Good night.)22:42:43
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbgn!22:42:51
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsGood night 22:42:53

@codebam:matrix.orgSeanI use ananicy with the cachyos rules to set the nice value which... I think works the same?00:57:54
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanobviously doesn't let gamescope do it itself, but it should at least set it00:58:27
@k900:0upti.meK900So have people decide on which yuzu fork is the good one yet08:27:50
