Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.
Comrades, I sincerely apologize for any psychic damage taken from being exposed to my fellow countryman’s takes

I’ve been fucking around a lot with this same stuff on a similar setup (6900XT, sway, M27QP, Arch 6.4 tkg-pds). I managed to make it work more or less flawlessly. Here’s how I did it:
I use MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%
in Steam to run my games.
When Gamemode runs, it’s configured to enable adaptive_sync
, start gpu-screen-recorder
, and run a script that sets pp_power_profile_mode
to 1
and power_dpm_force_performance_level
to high
. As @Atemu mentioned, there’s some kind of bug with amdgpu, so by default the power management will be all over the place.
The built-in frame limiter in some games (e.g. Apex Legends, Risk of Rain 2) can cause stutter for some reason I don’t understand. V-Sync also had stutter and also caused noticeable input lag. The solution was to use MangoHud’s frame limiter with fps_limit=165
in MangoHud.conf
.
This patch fixes the mouse move VRR issue. There’s instructions on how to apply it if you scroll down a bit. If it still doesn’t work right, try launching sway with WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 sway
. No need to disable direct scanout either.
Let me know if it works!
I wish I could go through life like this as well, damn. Never ever have to entertain the thought that maybe someone else’s wacky opinion is sincere and has a solid foundation to it, but nah man, it’s just a bot. Seems a lot less stressful.
I’m on a project where we original had three devs, but two of them did exactly what is depicted in this image, so now there’s only me. There’s a proper god damn mountain of tech debt that keeps growing. At this point it’d take me probably a solid couple of months to sort it out, but of course the customer doesn’t want to pay for anything, because “what’s the problem, it’s still running”. All I can really do is glance at it every now and then, like that gif with richard ayoade and the fire from IT crowd. It’s a pretty big and widely used system too, so it’s gonna be a real biblical clusterfuck when it finally shits the bed.
