Formerly Keegen on Kbin.social(RIP), this is my Lemmy account.
There is no reason they have to test it on multiple distros at all, the minimum and recommended system requirements exist for a reason. Just test it on one or two distros and list those as supported, treat anyone else the same way you would someone trying to play this game on an unsupported version of Windows like 8 or 7. If it works, great! If not - not our problem, figure it out yourself, your configuration is not supported.
www.youtube.com# hides Shorts from the YT Subscriptions page, very useful if like me you don’t care about those.
Outside of that I strongly recommend checking out uBlock’s medium mode for anyone who wants a much stronger non-filterlist dependant protection at the cost of minor inconvenience.
Note: This issue only applies to Nvidia, AMD users can have a completely different versions of Mesa installed on their system and in Flatpak. Nvidia drivers are closed source and they ship both the kernel and userspace drivers as one with no backwards compatibility so Flatpak must always use the exact same version as the system.
Don’t shoot the messenger, they’re just citing the “workaround” from the article. The article also mentions using uBlock but only after writing two paragraphs convincing you that Premium is totally the solution to go with.
I disabled the shader pre-caching in Steam completely, between the long compile times and daily 5gb+ downloads it just wasn’t worth it. I honestly do not feel the difference, there is usually a little bit of stuttering the very first time you launch a game and after a major GPU driver update but it goes away after a minute or two.
Recent versions of KDE also automatically enable Do Not Disturb mode whenever you launch a full-screen window so you won’t get interrupted by a notification anyway! Honestly surprised GNOME doesn’t do that as well.
