Did Linux OSs move into torrents later? I'm surprised one of those isn't an older active torrent. I mean sure there's no point in actually installing those OSs now but people would still seed.

Ther's really no point in seeding a 20 year old iso of an os that evolves that quickly

20 years ago we were on the 2.4 kernel just shortly before switching to 2.6, wifi was a mess, GPUs were even more mess

now om gaming on my linux machine with better FPS than the windows version

Any Linux distro do HDR / VRR yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

VRR (Gsync module at least) works on Ubuntu 23.04 for sure. It's a bit limited though, but it is improving. I was able to get it working by only having one monitor plugged in and running the game in full screen (not windowed). The arch wiki has a very nice write up of the current state. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate
