    Fedora 32-bit Libraries

    You might have seen some news regarding Fedora wanting to drop 32-bit libraries in the distant future. This is no longer the case as the proposal has been rescinded without a vote.

    That’s good news I hadn’t heard yet. I also noticed the bazaar suddenly appeared yesterday. Now I know why.

      Iirc they came out right away and said more or less of this is the case we just won’t do it. Not official but it felt like a dead end

      Fortunately, this update contains the antidote to your tears:

      Download Bazaar, scroll a bit down on the curated front page and…

      Oh look, Viper, a launcher/wrapper/mod manager for TitanFall 2, that allows you to join private servers.

      … Did you not know there is a small but lively and active TitanFall2 community? That has the whole game working on linux, has its own custom Proton branch?

        Yes, I’m a mod over on !titanfall@lemmy.world.

        It’s pretty quiet, but I’m also one of the people committed to hosting northstar servers until the heat-death of the universe. Ever played on a MENTAL server?

          Welp, thats a big DERP from me, oops.

          I just try to evangelize Northstar and related stuff as much as possible, I have been too zelatrous here, haha!

          Unfortunately I have not played TF|2 in a while, due to significant wrist and arm injuries… this soldier has to take medical leave rofl.

          But the PT is working, … slowly, but with real progress… and I am very much looking forward to being able to jump back in.

      If using steam gaming mode by default with deck/htpc variant. Yes, as it doesn’t even boot up an OS Desktop Environment in the background. It’s not going to be much more but it’s a non-zero amount that will felt more or less depending on the innate power of your hardware

      Out of the box? Probably, as Ubuntu doesn’t come with everything you need for gaming, so it doesn’t work at all. Once you install all the same packages I imagine it’s about the same. Usually a distro isn’t doing anything particularly special. It’s mostly just a collection of packages, which you can install on any other distro as well.

      Word on the street is that Ubuntu gets updates very slowly. If people want latest and greatest drivers kernels etc then fedora and its spins is the way. Or arch if you are into that sorta thing.

    Did they fix the horrible performance of Firefox based browsers? That was deal breaker for me. YouTube videos would lag and stutter for 1-2 seconds before playing. Smooth as butter on chrome based browsers. I don’t want to rely on chrome based browsers.

      have been using bazzite for a while now and don’t have issues with Firefox, could be tests Google are running. they recently are targeting users of adblockers and artificially setting high load times in hopes users disable them. a decent alternative is freetube (on flathub) which is anonymous so you can’t login but you can import playlists and includes ad+sponsor block. they’re pretty fast at fixing Google’s attempts to break it too, sometimes you might have to change instances to get it working.

        This feels more like a codecs issue tbh. Not a bandwidth problem. It’s more hardware lag if that makes sense.

          Maybe the same issue that Silverblue has with the Firefox from the Fedora repo. The Flathub repo Firefox has the non-free codecs in it.

      I just installed and run my browser through a Fedora toolbox (distrobox) and it fixed that problem completely.

      I use FreeTube for yt, but that has issues with IP blocks and stuff while using a VPN, but it works if I switch servers once or twice.

      I personally wouldn’t describe it as horrible, but it is good to hear someone else seeing problems with video playback on YT. Just curious though, did you have any add-ons? I do and I need to compare playback without them. Hrmm

        I did clean installs no addons of zen and librewolf and all of them had the same laggy stutter the first 1-2 seconds a video loads.

          I think you should worry about your own health, it was a super simple sentence to parse.

          Bazzite uses Flatpak. Lemmy users love using Flatpaks. Flatpaks are notoriously filled with issues, including Firefox performance.

          Let me know if you’re good or a drawing is needed.

      I recommend some variant of the h264ify plugin if you’re having weird video issues with firefox based browsers.

      There’s some nonsense going on with some of the codecs Youtube uses + FF… YT used to let you more manually set your codec preferences, now they don’t, but the h264ify plugins basically allow you to set those prefs yourself, and by default just disallow the problematic ones.
