I'm not sure that Proton can fix your problem. However, I feel like this project would love your help with capturing the USB traffic to get it supported and hopefully upstreamed in the kernel some day :)

Well, with NTFS, there isn't. That's why I said, BTRFS is definitely the better choice for games. Never had issues with two shared drives in over two years now with WinBTRFS.

I've been using WinBTRFS for quite some time without issues. It seems a lot of people recommend NTFS. But be aware, if you plan on using it for things like games, NTFS will absolutely break at some point. It is not compatible with Proton and will break things like updates for Steam. It always has for me up until very recently. Valve also says the same about using NTFS for games. I'm not sure this can be fixed with the NTFS driver unless they do workarounds like renaming things automatically because some things Proton does are not compatible with the filesystem spec.

What about Tauri? I don't know what exactly your app is but since you mentioned Electron as an option I guess Tauri could run it. Offers more choice for frontend frameworks hence less „language lock-in“ than Qt.

Just know that sites like this are useless if you don't understand the results. There are anti-fingerprinting techniques that add random noise to your fingerprint. This might result in these kind of tests claiming you have a completely unique fingerprint, even though the anti-fingerprinting mechanisms randomise the fingerprint for every site, browser session, etc. (depending on the config). This would mean that you are relatively „safe“ from fingerprinting because you never have the same print twice but tests think you are very vulnerable because it's still a random “unique“ fingerprint.

Oh, interesting. In that case I misunderstood that part, I thought there were core devs of Atom involved in Pulsar, thanks :)

Oh, in that case you might like either. I think both are great in their own way!

I think Zed is quite different from Atom. But Pulsar might be your thing. A direct fork of the last release of Atom being developed by ex Atom developers :)

Yea but many of them were involved. The Audi CEO at the time was on the board making the decision and the first to be convicted.

Don't worry, I don't think you are. I just think there's a reason they admitted so easily. Probably just another calculated fallout to save all their other brands from their own mini backlash which would ultimately cause more damage.

But yes, the whole industry is a dumpster fire when it comes to regulations and also lobbying.

I mean they also own like half the industry. So, I don't feel particularly bad for them to be honest.

 

I finally did it and got an used RX 6950 XT to replace my GTX 1080 Ti. I've been using this card ever since I moved to Linux and now I'm wondering what exactly I have to do. On Windows it's mostly run DDU and install the new AMD drivers, everything else will probably work the same with Afterburner etc.

However, on Linux the only things I know are uninstalling the Nvidia drivers, removing GWE since that obviously won't work and installing Mesa.

What other steps do people recommend? I'm hyped to finally get properly working GPU acceleration in Firefox and other things like Steam, but is there anything I have to do to get that running? Also what tools are currently a must with an AMD card for some undervolting / overclocking and other functionality y'all can recommend?
