  • “unrivaled in quality”

    Are we forgetting the countless issues the Nexus phones had? The 5 for instance had bad camera quality and battery life even for the time, the speaker was as loud as a whisper, the side buttons would stick with less then a year of usage…







  • You don’t really need STL, just set gamescope as the launch parameter. I suggest checking --help to see what the flags do, but in general you’ll want gamescope -W <res width> -H <res height> -r <refresh rate> -f --force-grab-cursor --hdr-enabled -e -- %command%. This works for me on TEKKEN 8, Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic.

    There are some issues, however. Some games might just freeze when running with gamescope (or gamescope with HDR flags), which is the case for me with Deep Rock, it’ll freeze merely 20 seconds after it starts. Second issue is that, at least for me, the image will be incredibly dark and for some reason the SDR content brightness slider on Plasma settings will change the brightness of the HDR gamescope window, so I have to set it to 1000 to “fix” the brightness, but my desktop will be blown out with brightness.



  • I’m running Wayland. I do feel that Plasma is using my iGPU to render the desktop since it’s quite noticeable some stutters and lower performance compared to disabling the iGPU and having both monitors on my dGPU, but unfortunately I can’t really chose what gets rendered by what. On Windows, this setup works fine, I can chose Firefox to use the “power saving” or whatever and it runs on my iGPU, videos get decoded by it.

    I tried plugging my monitors on my motherboard (I have a HDMI and DP outputs) and it works as expected, everything renders on the iGPU and I’d need prime-run for my games, though this is far from ideal since I lose VRR and HDR.
