  • None of the problems that they’re describing are caused by using an Nvidia card.

    The default proton is bad, using GE-Proton will often improve things.

    CS2 getting 40fps and no sound. A quick trip over to https://www.protondb.com/app/730 will show that this is a problem with CS2 as it happens on every graphics card. Setting SDL_AUDIO_DRIVER=pipewire resolves the issue for a lot of people.

    Helldivers 2 low FPS: Protondb has people with both graphics cards reporting the low fps issues. Setting a framerate cap will reduce FPS variance, using GE-Proton10 fixes HDR issues. In my experience disabling vsync improved performance significantly, this is true of a lot of games if you’re using adaptive sync.

    I see this all the time in the Linux communities. If someone is having an issue with a game and they use an Nvidia card then community responses are often to do the blame Nvidia meme rather than troubleshoot the issue.









  • Until it’s no longer more profitable to make their cars safer, or regulation requires they make their cars safer, or a competitor decides to take market share by making their cars safer.

    “Because they’ve become safer over time, they’ll continue to do so indefinitely” doesn’t work for me.

    That’s fine because that’s not what I said.

    Which of these do you disagree with?:

    • Human driving capability has shown no indication of improving.

    • Autonomous vehicle capabilities are showing indications of improving.

    It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to recognize that these measures of performance will eventually intersect (unless you think there’s something fundamentally special about human driving that is impossible to replicate).
