The failure to wait for network-online was the last thing preventing me from going rootless. I am going to have to try this again.

Performance parity? Heck no, not until this bug with the GSP firmware is solved: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/538

My issue with skins is that it is completely immersion breaking. You have Homelander and Gaia running around Call of Duty now. It's comical and just destroys my enjoyment of the game.

The skins get worse and worse because to continue the money machine they have to make more and more unique skins that just destroy the cohesion of the world they've built.

This. It all boils down to value for money. 5 dollars for a skin cosmetic is bullshit. 5 dollars or more for DLC with meaningful content is okay.

Yeah, in a Reddit comment, Hector Martin himself said that the memory bandwidth on the Apple SIlicon GPU is so big that any potential performance problems due to TBDR vs IMR are basically insignificant.

...which is a funny fact because I had another Reddit user swear up and down that TBDR was a big problem and that's why Apple decided not to support Vulkan and instead is forcing everyone to go Metal.

I've heard something about Apple Silicon GPUs being tile-based and not immediate mode, which means the Vulkan API is different compared to regular PCs. How has this been addressed in the Vulkan driver?

Huge fucking deal, especially for Nvidia users, but it is great for the entire ecosystem. Other OSes have had explicit sync for ages, so it is great for Linux to finally catch up in this regard.

You're correct. While the stable version of KDE Wayland is usable right now with the new driver with no flickering issues, etc., it technically does not have the necessary patches needed for explicit sync. Nvidia has put some workarounds in the 555 driver code to prevent flickering without explicit sync, but they're slower code paths.

The AUR has a package called kwin-explicit-sync, which is just the latest stable kwin with the explicit sync patches applied. This combined with the 555 drivers makes explicit sync work, finally solving the flickering issues in a fast performant way.

I've tested with both kwin and kwin-explicit-sync and the latter has dramatically improved input latency. I am basically daily driving Wayland now and it is awesome.

Interesting solution! Thanks for the info. Seems like Nginx Proxy Manager doesn't support Proxy Protocol. Lmao, the world seems to be constantly pushing me towards Traefik all the time 🤣

I truly believe the answer to this question is going to be yes around the May - June timeframe when Nvidia releases their explicit sync enabled drivers. All aboard the Wayland hype train babyyyy!

I think there was some bad vibes when they got bought by a less than reputable company a while back. I know a lot of people, myself included switched to Mullvad. I am on Proton now though for the port forwarding.

I see. And the rest of your services are all exposed on localhost? Hmm, darn, it really looks like there's no way to use user-defined networks.
