Win11 start menu is a react native component.

Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn't occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

Fully agree with this. I'm far from an expert either, but I saw a YouTube video once, which was depressing, showing how people can cheat nowadays. It just involves custom hardware that "pretends" to be the mouse/monitor/... It doesn't even cost you a fortune.

Congratulations: your kernel anti cheat does fuck all as the cheat is running on the external hardware before forwarding the info to the pc.

Server-Side anti-cheat is imo the only solution. I have no idea how else to fix this issue. It all seems like a patch to try and make your client trustworthy. Something it inherently isn't. I realize this is a lot easier said than done.

Why would you want it to automatically grab money from your savings? Wouldn't you just want to transfer that yourself?

I feel like it's an extra guardrail that if somebody tries to pull 3000$ from your bank account and you only have 500 there that it can only pull the 500 and not the additional 2500 from your savings account?

Apparently they looked at it and had issues and bugs with arch which could not be fixed:

Would I be in this situation if I took fedora, a distro that has withstood the test of time? Yes.

Bazzite being fairly new is completely besides the point.

Bazzite and the rest of universal Blue would rather call them a custom install of Fedora rather than a distro IIRC.

Bazzite shutting down would be tragic ( for me ). I've been quite happy with it. Slowly convincing people to switch. Bazzite was also a relatively low step compared to fixing them a standard distro as all the stuff they want/need is already readily available.

Telling people I decided to promote another distro because the old one stopped is only going to make me have to restart my efforts with an additional hurdle ( how do you know this one won't stop ).

I tried a few distros. But I didn't like garuda very much, nobara was okay'ish. Bazzite really clicked for some reason, despite needing a bit of getting used to.

I'd hate to go distro hunting again. Or try and update cpu schedulers and not brick the whole system.

I'll be completely honest. I didn't. :D

Edit: oh hang on. I completely misunderstood the meaning of the word "decried". My comment does not make sense at all in that case.

That's interesting! I hadn't heard of that yet. I wonder how viable that is on a phone or if it would hog too many resources.

Laptops/ PCs are generally well equipped enough. But a phone? Maybe!

I could have missed it, but is there any mention somewhere of compatibility with existing android/iOS apps?

One of the reasons the windows phone died was a lack of apps as they entered the market too late and app devs weren't very keen on building the app on yet another platform.

Didn't Vista get a ton of hate for its new UI?

 

Hello fellow Linux gamers!

I've recently switched to nobara for gaming. I've had no real issues so far and it's all running smoothly! Queue my Xbox controller.

A year or two ago I bought an Xbox wireless control ( 2020 version according to the order ). Now I wanted to use the controller, but it is not being detected. The light keeps blinking. On nobara itself it looks like it mounted the dongle as a USB Stick.

That would explain why the controller isn't connecting.

How would I best go at tackling this? Any tips? I've already ran the following command:

nobara-controller-config

This installed some drivers and required a reboot ( which I did ).

Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips!
