my mom travels between Ukraine and Poland by train regularly, but i guess that doesn't really count as Europe

vox , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat) an linuxmemes in Many such cases

i was asking about the passkeys specifically tho, not the biometric auth part of it
linux only supports hardware security keys like yubikey, not on-device passkeys atm

vox , vor einem Monat an linuxmemes in Many such cases

hdr support is coming tho

• steamos already has it iirc (well, specifically gamescope)

• kde 6 has experimental hdr support with wayland session

• cosmic de devs promised hdr support in the first public stable release

what i really miss is passkeys (specifically, using tpm2 to store them like windows hello does)

vox , vor einem Monat an linuxmemes in I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.

that's why I've been doing most of my gamedev stuff on an old craptop from 2016.
performance issues become apparent immediately

vox , vor einem Monat an linuxmemes in I just wanted the workflow, ok?

until it violently shits itself

Upgrade to Enterprise
(upgrading to enterprise will also remove ads in settings)

in gpo editor:

• Set updates to Manual
• set the telemetry level to "Security" in group policy (iirc can also be called "Compliance"). This only works on Enterprise.
• opt out of Microsoft accounts. This will force account creation to skip right to local accounts as if MS accounts were never a thing. This only works on Enterprise/Pro.
• disable copilot and integrated bing search

do a full reboot

idk if it's optional why bother typing it

vox , vor 2 Monaten an linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

8 is enough if you're not multitasking too much
wanna play a game? close absolutely everything except maybe discord (if you need it), but keep it in the tray
wanna look sth up while playing? don't forget to close the browser afterwards

vox , vor 2 Monaten an linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

yeah you need to mess around with snappiness to avoid that
(so either increase it to make it unload stuff to hdd earlier, leaving more ram for critical stuff, or decrease it to like 5 in order to make it only use swap when absolutely needed)
basically just mess around with it and see what value works best. i my case 10-15 works more or less okay-ish under full ram load

never had issues with gnome on my laptop with 4 gbs of ddr3, actually it's pretty smooth even while running from an 8 year old 5200rpm hdd, even with all the animations and stuff enabled.
freezes a bit while loading icons in the app menu for the first time after boot but it's really usable once everything gets cached to ram.

I'm still using 8 for gaming and stuff
(i built my pc in 2021 and don't see a huge reason to upgrade it yet except modded Minecraft)

vox , vor 2 Monaten an linuxmemes in Its a hard fate : (

passkeys?
no need to use the 4 digit pin every single time.
