sitting at a desk is mostly fine, as soon as you start moving it’s annoying as hell

A lot of the hype it’s because it’s Rockstar. There aren’t many studios with their level of attention to detail and budget to make it come true.

KDE on endeavouros works with HDR for me (latest drivers). Ubuntu is usually a few months behind on updates, but I wouldn’t expect plasma 6 to crash every time when trying HDR. I hope you’re able to narrow down the cause, or have a magical update that fixes it.

but don’t you need kernel access to verify everything that is running

multiple times a day for me

That’s the neat part: you don’t. If their idea of anti cheat means taking over my machine to scan everything that runs on it, it’s a lost battle. Either find a way to do it server side based on behavioral heuristics, or don’t bother.

sir, this is a wendy’s

“never trust the client” is pretty much a motto of infosec, idk what the hell game devs expect

you can run local models with 16GB VRAM, but I’m not sure most models will run at all on an AMD card

It depends on the use. AMD for gaming, sure. For machine learning I would go with nvidia again. I run it on arch, which updates very often.

is “smooth motion” different from DLSS 4 with frame generation?

that “unknown” is suspiciously rising with linux, so the number might be higher
