and nano's keybinds suck on a Steam deck

Kyle GospoOP•6/22/24, 5:58 AM

which is likely why they picked vim

@Kyle Gospo No clue that "frontier psychiatrist" was on this album, I used to jam to that song ALOT as a kid

at this rate all we need is that xwayland fractional patch pulled in and things would be in a fantastic state. Fingers crossed, I'm gonna follow up on that and see if I can do more testing but i've been daily driving that patch for basically the last month or so now and it's basically flawless

Astral•6/22/24, 6:13 AM

Just one minor bugbear with electron

I'm out of the loop, does the

Kyle GospoOP•6/22/24, 6:15 AM

no fractional patch, yes on 555 veta

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 6:15 AM

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 6:16 AM

I have a rebase to try out then lol

Astral•6/22/24, 6:28 AM

The fractional scaling patch is so nearly there. I'm really hoping it gets in for 47

KKyle Gospo no fractional patch, yes on 555 veta

How long should updating kargs take?

CChaiQi How long should updating kargs take?

Valerie•6/22/24, 6:43 AM

Should take less than 10 minutes, sometimes longer

Valerie•6/22/24, 6:45 AM

I think on my desktop it's ~7

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 6:45 AM

Aha, seems it had maybe gotten stuck on some weird issue with having an external monitor plugged in

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 6:46 AM

Took maybe 3-4 minutes after I unplugged that and restarted

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 7:32 AM

Magnificent

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 7:32 AM

The flickering, out of order frames, and blank windows are gone, and everything feels snappy

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 7:33 AM

Thanks for setting up 555-beta on

ChaiQi•6/22/24, 7:35 AM

couple frame drops here and there but that's more likely to be a shader caching issue than a driver issue, in my experience

wolfyreload•6/22/24, 7:42 AM

Yes, thanks for the patch Kyle. Shout if you put out a new version to test

RedSawn•6/22/24, 8:23 AM

Ahh that's cool to hear. Now I just need to learn what rebasing in the context of Bazzite is, pff

Robotta•6/22/24, 8:32 AM

The only issue IO have are the complete desktop freezes when there's a process with high I usage (copying files or updating via discover for example)

The only solution for the freezes is to force shut the PC

Robotta•6/22/24, 8:32 AM

I suspect this is a 555 beta + system76 scheduler incompatibility, as it doesn't happen without it
