  • You might be right about latency. Gaming on linux has come a long way over the years but it still has some bugs.

    Years ago FO4 would crackle, sometimes wouldn’t have dialogue and if you were anywhere near a mini nuke explosion it sounded like your speakers blew out right before you lost audio completely. The fix back then was to compile faudio which was not super simple to do. If i remember right it was problems in wine with processing WMA files.

    Wine evolves pretty fast and sometimes there are regression bugs that pop up from time to time and get sorted out in one if the next versions.

    Sometimes the problems fix is in a legal gray/black area which i think was the case with faidio fix i mentioned above.

    Sometimes it’s an update to pulsaudio or pipewire that break’s things which might be the case with my steamdeck. Online people have said that the crackling started after a steamOS update and was fine before then and a temporary fix is to restart pulseaudio.

    What I have learned over my 10+ years of gaming on linux is it always gets better eventually.


  • They are everywhere where I live. Almost hit one on my bike a couple of times on night rides. Ive removed my fair share of quills from friends dogs out in the middle of nowhere. Some dogs never learn and go back for seconds. Porcupines are well equipped to defend themselves and I have never seen one in mortal peril.

    They are cute little buggers.
