Whatever happened with the hardware acceleration on Linux? I swear I read they made it fully work on Linux with the new interface but it still seems choppy, maybe even more than before
Hardware acceleration has worked fine on Linux for me but I had to enable it. There are several options for HA of various components in the settings in the new Steam UI.
What makes me confused is that the epic games website is a lot quicker than their app. I reckon they’re not using electron and maybe are using something much worse. Not sure if it was a joke but long ago I’ve heard someone suggesting it was actually unreal engine and not electron
Huh, I always thought it was Electron, because I’ve had an older version of EGS show some fonts in super low res, much like Discord did, which is a known bug with Electron and hardware acceleration
That’s what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka “a Chrome browser that only opens a single website”

IDK, my Steam client starts right away pretty much and my computer is not very fast or new.
It’s probably running in the background. You have to be very forceful if you don’t want it doing that
But I’m not a jedi, i can’t use force

Doesn’t Discord also use something similar?

It IS unreal engine
Huh, someone else here said it uses Unreal engine

You know those ad banners you get on mobile? What do you think they run on
Ad… banners? I haven’t seen an ad on my phone in years.
My phone, duh.
Ad banners? I haven’t seen one since forever. I have no idea what you are even talking about.
That’s probably mostly Flutter, which is slightly different scope, though still Google
Nah most ad networks run full browsers
Silicon and gold
No idea what you’re talking about
