Ecco the dolphin

Their goal is to cause unrest so they have an excuse to cancel the midterms

You know, honestly? I didn’t do any like, testing to see how much impact each had. I just used some recommended settings like setting the kernel to PREEMPT and setting mitigations=no (this is a minor security risk, I am spectre vulnerable but this is a performance increase)

My CPU is very old and I have a newer graphics card, so I figured this would help but I didn’t do any concrete testing. Seems fine.

Edit: also I had to set my CPU governor to performance. Debian had it on some low-power default setting (forgot now) and this DID matter, a lot, way more than any kernel argument. I control it some other way than a kernel arg, tho

fwiw I’m running Debian 12 and had no issues getting steam to run, and all games I’ve tried run great (with a few exceptions but not many).

I really really wouldn’t recommend Debian as an OS for games. It’s a server/workstation OS. I use it because I like Debian, not because it’s a good idea.

I remember changing my grub config to pass arguments to the kernel for gaming performance. I bet you wouldn’t need to do this on a distro designed for gaming like Bazzite.

Oh ya I get that, but in general that’s what the phrase makes me think of

I don’t like the phrase. It just feels bad, idk. If she put in effort to wear nice underwear for you, its probably one of many little details she put into your date. Idk. I’m kind of a prude.

It also kind of feels like something a dudebro might say later after he pressured his drunk date into something she didn’t want to do.

Hello everyone did you need someone in here being a complete pedant? Here I am!

I would spell this slopperator, not sloperator. Putting only one consonant between O and E makes this read “SLOPE-r-ator”, like the slope of a hill. Also, there’s precedent, if you have a lot of slop, maybe you’re sloppy (two p’s).

Sloperator sounds like someone who really likes linear regression.

In addition to the replies you got already, discord has screen sharing/streaming. An experience kind of like zoom (I don’t use it and dont see the appeal but maybe someone who does can elaborate more. My partner uses this feature sometimes).
