From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Testing if VRR is active and working (discuss.tchncs.de)

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

Edit : I am on a laptop with the integrated screen being the one being used. I am currently using ublue-main

Also afaik it only works in fullscreen on Linux (and in programs that support it).

I am on ublue which is immutable. Do appimages work normally on immutable distros¿?

Supposedly.

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

Thanks I will try it then

An appimage should run where, normally you'd put that in your home directory. The immutable bit is outside of your homedir.

Probably would be easier to download LÖVE and run it with that
