Guys question. I just got an update on bazzite. I installed it. Now I'm checking for an update again and I'm being prompted to update again?
Ydid we get two updates today and do i have to apply both of them in order to be up to date?
KUpdate checker checks for all sorts of things, flatpaks, distrobox containers, brew/nix, and the system
Ksystem updates are an all or nothing thing, you update and you'll have the latest at that time
Kwe do builds often
YI mean once i;m on the latest image you pushed it shouldnt ask for any updates if legit everything its checking for is up to date right?
Kright it's not going to lie to you and say something is available when it isn't
SFound the reason, steam deck doesnt have rebar... So i turned off rebar... Perfect audio
Kinteresting, rebar should improve performance
Knot cause stutter
Yokay awesome i'll just update again then. has to be for a reason i guess
SNot always
SThat's the reason nvidia want to handpick titles
SBut nvidia are aholes...
SBut yea, in the beginning of the rebar and SAM there were examples of regressions.
SI hope hzd runs 60fps

Tthere might be updates several times a day. honestly update at your own pace/convenience

here's where you can see all the new changes to the project, but that doesn't count updates from the Fedora base, other packages preinstalled, Steam + gamescope, and your installed applications

Hmy i5 4th gen doesnt end up with that issue XD weird
Hah was rebar
Hstill a bit funny
SInfuriating to troubleshoot
YHey does the new steamos update have the same version of mesa as bazzite?
Kdifferent, but the new build of SteamOS does have the shader cache changes, yes
YBut its still using shaders?
Khm?
YI thought the point of the driver update was so that we didnt need the shader cache anymore?
Kthey will always be needed
Kthat's never not gonna be true
Kthey are half the size they were and building them no longer stutters
Kthat's all it does
Yso wait
Ybasically youre saying the need to prebuild them is gone but still build them?
Kthey are built at load instead of at render
Kso it doesn't stutter in game
Kin the interest of battery life they will still be cached & shared
Ksince generating them is still a wasteful process
Yand im assuming a proformance cost as well?
Kyeah, just during load
Kshader compilation is expensive
Ydamn it see this is the one thing that makes me feel conflicted about using bazzite
KHm?
Tthis is not exclusive to bazzite
Tthis is linux gaming
Ybecause in most cases i dont get that shader cache download and then i have to build it myself
Kyeah, this is true anywhere you use proton
Kthe more people that use bazzite the more will be pre-generated and shared on steam
