  1. Пока в РФ спорят, а нужны ли народу отечественные ОС на базе Linux. Компания Valve, владелец Steam, объявила выигранной битву в Linux за игровой опыт без замираний игр — так называемый «0.1% FPS», без подёргиваний по вине ядра ОС.
    Именно с этой подачи и финансирования, теперь в Linux с ядер 6.12+ можно переключаться между разными планировщиками задач (процессов). Если точнее, то между eBPF-реализациями планировщиками, включая специальный для игр на десктопе. Например, можно включать LAVD на лету без перезагрузки или тем более какой-либо суеты с установкой или сборкой ядер.
    Т.е. теперь sched_ext рулит внутри ОС за распределение квантов процессорного времени, каким тредам каких процессов какие отсыпать кванты. А то как именно это всё происходит, с учётом каких аспектов — это определяется на ходу — загруженной программулиной на eBPF.
    Есть презентация с The Linux Foundation https://youtube.com/watch?v=ddWdUoFx9g4

    Реально работает. Проверить используется ли прямо сейчас sched_ext и включить LAVD-планировщик:
    #: cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/state
    disable
    #: scxctl start --sched lavd --mode gaming

    В комплекте идёт несколько eBPF-планировщиков: #: scxctl list
    supported schedulers: ["beerland", "bpfland", "cake", "cosmos", "flash", "flow", "lavd", "pandemonium", "p2dq", "tickless", "rustland", "rusty"]

    Можно выключить вообще: scxctl stop
    или же переключиться на другой: #: scxctl switch --sched название --mode режим-аргументы
    Глянуть какой именно сейчас планировщик: #: scxctl get
    running Lavd in Gaming mode
    .. либо
    #: cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/root/ops
    lavd_A.B.C_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu

    Свои Steam Machine & etc. компания Valve делает на базе ArchLinux, необходимое для показанного есть в двух пакетах: scx-scheds и scx-tools.

    И да, GameMode больше не нужен и вреден, т.е. обязательно выключать, если LAVD-планировщик работает.

    Как увидеть эти самые «0.1% FPS»
    Проще настроить через Goverlay, но или руками убедиться в наличии "fps_metrics=avg,0.001":
    #: cat ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
    legacy_layout=0
    horizontal
    background_alpha=0.3
    round_corners=0
    font_size=19
    position=top-left
    gpu_list=0
    table_columns=3
    fps_metrics=avg,0.001
    frame_timing
    toggle_hud=Shift_R+F12
    toggle_fps_limit=Shift_L+F1

    Скрывать или показывать вывод MangoHud — по правому Shift + F12.
    Сбросить показания при смене локации — по левому Shift + F1.

  4. Because apparently I'm not a very logical person, I decided to try out #ZorinOS. Here's how it's going:

    I installed it as a dual-boot together with a #Win10 install. It worked!

    Unfortunately internet wasn't working on it, it seems that my WiFi card wasn't recognised. According to the online gods I needed to connect via Ethernet to try and download the WiFi drivers that way. After buying an Ethernet cable I did that and it worked!

    Now I'm trying to see if I can play some games on it. I followed the Zorin instructions for this and managed to install Steam (had to use command line once). I've downloaded #TombRaider4 and tried to start it. It didn't work. Then I checked which games were actually Linux-compatible and installed #Left4Dead (2) . I'm going to try it out now...

    Do you think it will work??

    Hi,

    From the information provided we can see that you are using an unsupported operating system. It is possible that we will not be able to resolve the issue, however we have some suggestions that may help.

    We first suggest changing your window manager to GNOME to see if that helps, as this is the default window manager in the supported Ubuntu distro.

    You can also try deleting the Preferences file. This is located in the following file path:

    ~/.local/share/feral-interactive/Shadow of the Tomb Raider

    Once in the location, drag the file named Preferences to your Trash, then launch Steam and then the game. A new Preferences file will be created on the relaunch, which will be the default settings for the game. This may clear the issue that you are seeing.

    The only other suggestion we can make is to run the game on the fully tested and supported #Linux distro, Ubuntu LTS. If that is not possible, we can only recommend that you try running the game using Proton.

    Please let us know how this goes.

    Best regards,

    Gerard McAuley

    When 32GB isn't enough, it only means one thing: I should do something sensible.

  14. Releasing this week: Maze Mice is a bullet heaven arcade-style roguelite coming to Steam on May 2 (it works great on Linux, that's where I tested the Steam demo) and hopefully it'll eventually come to other consoles too. This one's fun as hell, easy to pick up, figure out, and go. It's kinda like reverse Pac-Man mixed with Vampire Survivors. Wild. Addictive. Just a blast. 🐁🐀

  16. Es war heute bewölkt & kalt in #Friedrichskoog doch kein Mitleid, so konnte ich eine Stunde etwas #linuxgaming auf meinem #Netbook praktizieren (das mit TuxedoOS, ihr erinnert euch).

    Darauf befindet sich eine kleine Auswahl an #Linuxgames und Ihr erratet nie was ich endlich mal wieder gespielt habe.

    #Pioneer !
    Das 3D Weltraum-Rumflieg-Trading-Spiel im Style eines (mir unbekannten) "Elite".

  17. #Youtube shorts is a terrible, terrible thing. I wasn't going to get anything on the #SteamSale, and now I'm downloading 116 GB's worth of #BaldursGate3. In spite of how everyone is raving about it, I hadn't really planned on getting it.
    Let's just hope it runs nicely on #Linux.

  19. @linuxmasterclub Hi LMC. Your web page description reads "free and open source game" but it's unfortunately proprietary [which is also mentioned at the end of your web page]. #Pinball #Linux #LinuxGames

  20. Looks like the game #Sunnyside runs on Linux. I got it running on Steam anyway, without doing anything special.
    Sunnyside is a #Farmsim, but a bit different compared to games like #StardewValley. There is a demo on Steam, but backers have been able to play the full (but still pre-release) game for a week or so.
