That’s not why. There’s a very high chance Valve is actively working on new standalone VR since some years, there are regular leaks confirming some progress.

OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!

The comment is already removed now, but OP’s post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there’s no moderation.

Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn’t helpful for anyone.

And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?

Did you comment in a wrong thread?

Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.

Yep. When I switched out my Nvidia for AMD it was as plug-and-play as it gets.

Yeah, I think open should be the new one.

Maybe you can try to check if you’re using legacy drivers or the new version that’s party open-source.
I think Nvidia switched to those for their most recent cards not long ago.

I don’t think you read the article, or you just like being tracked.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here’s a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don’t think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.

XVI != XIV :)

It’s not even about the lower specs, it’s the optimization in general.

My PC is a little old, but still fine for most games up to medium settings.
But when I tried FF XVI, which is mentioned in the article, I couldn’t get anything close to acceptable performance with everything turned as low as possible and looking like shit.

Yeah, gotta have that and all that Secure Boot with TPM bullshit, because I’m visualizing a company workstation and nothing will work without those.

Because for some reason, no matter what I try, Windows 10 desktop is laggy as hell on Qemu, and smooth out of the box on VirtualBox.

Sure you can. wink wink 🏴‍☠️

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn’t really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.
