All of this is still irrelevant. If given the same hardware, one OS performs better than another, then one OS is obviously more optimized...

You're saying a lot of words but it all just boils down to "throw more hardware at the problem".

How is this relevant? If an OS performs better on old hardware, it's still an indication that it is more optimized.

They're at different layers of the audio stack though so not really replacing.

If anything, it's Epic that will succumb to capitalism because they've been failing to innovate on their platform since the beginning. EGS is still a glorified game launcher without any platform features. Where's the equivalent to Steam Input, Remote Play and Remote Play Together, Family Sharing, Chat, Discussion Boards, Proton, Steam Deck, etc.?

Maybe spend some of that Fortnite money on your platform instead of buying up exclusives...

My biggest issue with Syncthing is that it becomes unusable for large amounts of data due to the lack of selective sync (ignore lists are cumbersome as hell) and lack of virtual file system support. I have about 8TB of data on my NAS that I want to access remotely and it is not feasible to have duplicate copies of that much data on all of my devices.

Well....have you filed bugs for your issues?

Most people have had a very smooth transition over to Pipewire. I have 4 Arch machines and Pipewire has been flawless. I am even using one machine for pro-audio usecases (REAPER, Ardour).

Ah I guess Linux Mint doesn't have the latest driver in there yet. That's a bummer. When it comes out, I do recommend that you upgrade though.

Oh come on, that camera bar sticks out so much. I am so tired of this design gimmick. Every Pixel phone with a case already looks ridiculously thick just so that the stupid bar is protected. With how thick it looks on the Pixel 9, the whole phone is just going to be a chonker by the time someone slaps a case on it.

All this coming at a time when my perfectly fine Pixel 5 just got EOLed is demoralizing.

You should really be using the 550 drivers at this point.

There's also a bug with Halo Infinite where frame pacing is bad until you toggle vsync on and off.

Man, I have GOT to try Truenas Scale one of these days. I see it recommended so often, but I was just too used to a standard Linux ecosystem to bother learning something new. I am assuming it gets you closer to the feel of a pre-built NAS during administration tasks compared to Cockpit and a SSH session lmao.

I think I am just always afraid of being locked into a specific way of doing things by a vendor. I feel like I would get annoyed if something that I could do easily on standard Linux was harder to do on Truenas Scale.

I have zero trust in QNAP. QNAP knowingly sold several NASes with a known clock-drift defect in their Intel J1900 CPUs and then refused to provide any support. A bunch of community members had to figure out how to solder a resistor to temporarily revive their bricked NASes in order to retrieve their data. https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=135089

I had a TS-453 Pro and my friend had a TS-451. Both mine and his exhibited this issue and refused to boot. After this debacle and the extreme apathy from their support, I vowed to never buy a pre-built NAS.

That's not where Valve makes their money from though. Their money primarily comes from store purchases, so anything to expand Steam's reach is better for them. Plus, keeping Steam as relevant and ubiquitous as possible will in turn promote sales of the Steam Deck. The Xbox and Steam Deck cater to fundamentally different use cases anyways.
