What I mean is that the displayed price and register are always in sync.

Realistically, I feel like it would mean that they can only change prices during shutdown hours (or perhaps VALID UNTIL prices for changing mid-day). Changing displayed prices manually each night is too much labour to be worth it, but with digital labels, it could be done.

More dystopian, I'm sure at some point Walmart will be able to track each person to display a unique price when they are looking, and that displayed price can follow them to the register.

I don't know about the rest of Canada, but in Quebec the label not matching the register is considered a pricing error and generally you get to pay the display price.

Merchants must sell items at the advertised or displayed price.

With digital labels, the displayed price and the register price will always line up.

EDIT: For some reason I thought this was a post in /c/Canada. Some states might have similar regulations though....

Well still needs implementation in Proton. I think CachyOS proton has partial implementation from some of the WIP on the vkd3d-Proton project which hasn't made its way into a release yet.

Could be cope, but maybe once thats all done we will have good DX12 performance.

Well since it hasn't been fully implemented in the DX12 to Vulkan translation layers, you aren't missing out yet.

Yes looking forward to this one too. Not sure if it will help, but Jedi survivor has some weird texture things going on due to VRAM requirements on Linux that I didn't have on Windows. Possibly down to how this is treated.

I thought I did, until having to use it for a few days last week after having swapped to Linux in December.

I did it in December. I had tried to run dual-boot many times in the last decade, but always ended up back at Windows (gaming was part of this). This time, I do not think I will going back.

I chose Pop OS because of support for Nvidia GPUs and out-of-the-box flatpak integration. It was a bit frustrating at first because the new Cosmic DE is rather buggy. But I switched to KDE and things are smooth now. If I could go back, I'd probably install Kubuntu (or maybe Fedora KDE)

Some things that have frustrated me:

• Getting RDP to work took some struggles, and KDE is very laggy through RDP. Instead I make RDP boot into XFCE.
• Updated my graphics drivers and all my games stopped working. Turns out this was because I had to accordingly update Flatpak stuff so that the container and my system would be synchronized.
• The game I currently play most (Elden Ring Nightreign) has some brief moments of intense stuttering. I think this is because of EAC--- I did not have the problem in Windows. But this is bearable. Also, screen-sharing in Discord seems to cause much more performance degradation than on Windows.
• Zoom on Linux isn't as good as Zoom on Windows (lacking features, a bit buggy).
• I don't like (/know how to use Libreoffice). Not really a big problem because I mostly use LaTeX.
• Thunderbird doesn't play super great with Microsoft Exchange, even though support has been added. I miss the outlook app (I mostly use outlook.com now).

Good things:

• I enjoy no longer being on Windows 11. From Explorer freezing randomly, to idling at like 16GB of RAM, to search not working unless I used task manager to end explorer.exe, I had enough.
• I very much enjoy being able to update everything through terminal in a few clicks.
• I like being in control of my own hardware again.

I've no regrets. I just wish I could also make the switch on my laptop. However, for whatever reason, my trackpad becomes intermittently sluggish on Ubuntu/Pop (I've tried both). None of the solutions online (XPS 9510) seem to work. If I ever purchase another laptop, I will be sure to get one with better Linux support.

Well I mean linux has electron apps too

not April 1st

Nice Crysis 3 (albeit remastered) has finally made it's way over.

I remember I never played because it was an origin exclusive. Many years later it came to steam but I never picked it up. Now that it's on GOG I decided to finally buy it and will play it, 12 years later.

Not really like Vim at all. But yes its a bit of a learning curve. Imo its worth it but I'm an engineering grad student so it is especially suited to my uses.

Laughs in LaTeX?
