Dok nice, i just cant find the work being done on the github repo or somewhere
ANo
AChimeraos pulls the whole image every time
AThe repo I sent you does differential updates
AOnly the packages that change are downloaded
AAnd updates around 10 times faster
AThose diffed updates won't help the update speed
AOnly bandwidth
Tno it doesnt even launch game mode half the time for me
Tjust use big picture mode booting at startup as a workaround
Tbeen thinking ab switching to bazzite on that but last time i tried it didnt work
Tbut i dont think i did it right after doing it on my main pc
Pi was being facetious anyway chimeraos yucky
Pi was half expecting somebody to come in and suggest it's the best for roblox or something stupid
Ti mean it has a thing where you can launch games remotely
Psteam?
Tchimera
Psteam
Tthe chimera webpage
Ti never got it to work and it was ugly as hell and looked very outdated
Pit's a thing steam already does anyway
Pwith the app
Por just set up sunshine
Plike a normal person would

Dsteam does bullshit. i still get some 20-30GB updates for no reason
Plmfao
Psteam does a lot of bullshit
Pmine just hasn't been auto-updating anything for like a month now
Pbecause fuck me why would i want my games to be ready to play when i want to play them
AYes I did look into android. They have the most mature immutable updater rn
Dah ok
AIt's android, rauc, and OSTree, ostree-rs-ext
AThat's it
Aostree can source either from an ostree repo or from an oci image
Ptreble worked out good but god damn it vendors missed the point
AAnd both are differential
Pi love the idea of GSIs on android but in practice they are kinda shit because of all the proprietary junk :(
AHowever, if you use an OCI unless you construct it in a special way it's not diffed
AKinoite OCI uses a special rpm-ostree constructor that groups packages in their own layers
AAnd makes the hashes not change unless the packages update
ASo you end up pulling the last layer which has misc files and the initramfs
AFor 500mb
AAnd changed packages
ABazzite takes that image that's 1.8gb and adds 4gb on top that always change
ADiffed updates will make you only download the changed files on that 4gb
ABut you still have to run the same processing on them so update times will be the same
AAs for diffed updates you can follow this issue https://github.com/containers/storage/issues/1928

Issue Description Hi, since we're hearing a lot about the zstd:chunked encoding, I ran some tests today, and across the board it appears that the partial images feature is 2-3x slower, regardle...
AThey appear to be slower timewise right now
AQuite a bit slower
