I literally used this as an example to demonstrate gaming on Linux is easy now

Works perfectly out of the box, all you gotta do is install steam, download it and click play

I actually no longer have any Nvidia related issues, I think it is already here

Sounds like nobara or bazzite to me

Or basically any distro and steam tbh

If you can install nix (you can install it per user) then you can have whatever you want in a temporary shell with nix-shell -p python

nix profile install nixpkgs#python if you want it actually installed

Home manager is also entirely user level I believe and lets you use a declarative config too

I think it depends on the individual, I've eaten at fancy places in the past, but that has had no bearing on my enjoyment of the usual slop I make myself

I mean personally if I need a heavy duty calculator I'll just use python or something

Ahhh I see. Has been a while since I've played a game that wasn't Minecraft so haven't really been paying attention

Gnome calculator uses 103m, it's loading style sheets for themes, UI libraries that make it look nice and modern, scientific calculator features, keyboard shortcuts, nice graphical settings menu, touch screen and screen reader support etc

I don't think in this day and age for all the niceties people are used to that's unreasonable.

Also other calculators are available, some are bloated but I'm sure there's a rust or C one out there somewhere that uses a fraction of that with the bare minimum feature set

I'm not saying it's phenomenal but it's generally pretty well featured, running in a browser it's not that heavy resource wise and the API/developer features are very good

I think it'd be fair to consider them a sub race of orks, not much goofy lovability about Tolkien orks but you can't help but smile listening to Ork hijinks

The orcs from orcs must die probably fit in a similar sub race

Pardon my ignorance, I had thought dlss already worked on Linux, I've used it on baldur's gate somewhat recently

What difference is there between this and regular dlss?

I don't think old=good is a good mentality though, lot of people seem to have it

All the old software I know and use is exceptionally good, however I've heard about and chosen to use it because it's survived the test of time (also because it's still actively maintained and has had thousands of bug fixes over the years)

Vscode and obsidian are pretty good and they're electron, discord's alright, pretty sure steam uses some kind of web wrapper as well.

Real issue is electron is very accessible to inexperienced developers and easy to do badly, but I imagine people back in the old Unix days got an equal amount of shit bloated software
