08:35:15 <reldred> when I build a new desktop here at my new house I'm gonna give full time linux a red hot crack. I've never bothered on my main video-gaming desktops but it's getting to the point now where I might just have to stomach it.
08:35:41 <reldred> laptops and portables have always been fair game for linux but yeah my main desktop rig has always been windows
08:46:46 <peter1138> That's fair, I have a lot of games in my collection that are no longer playable.
08:50:01 *** Rubidium has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
08:57:14 <reldred> Yeah most that I care about are, but it’s then the ease of modding, things like using vortex mod manager, yadda yadda.
08:58:19 <reldred> I only installed windows back on this laptop before I flew over because I thought I was gonna need one specific mapping program that only runs in windows but then it turned out I didn’t need it at all and now I’m not going to fuck with my literal only machine so it’s staying on Win11 til I get another PC
09:40:43 <LordAro> peter1138: i saw someone point out that statcounter measures usage, not unique users
10:12:06 *** dh1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
10:16:22 <jessicathegunlady> Been mostly using a Linux distro on my system for the past few months. I try to avoid overhyping it, but I've honestly loved it.
10:17:32 <jessicathegunlady> I don't tend to play much in terms of multiplayer games with anticheat, so pretty much everything I wanna do works with Proton.
10:20:28 <locosage> I've been using linux on everything for like 20 years
10:21:14 <locosage> I have windows on dual boot but I use it like twice a year
10:22:12 <jessicathegunlady> I'm currently using Windows a lot, but that's just 'cause I gotta figure out how to use something other than Visual Studio at some point.
10:32:02 *** dh1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
10:41:27 <jfkuayue> The printer in my home can only be used with windows, though
10:48:40 <peter1138> Um... bad drivers...?
10:49:40 <jfkuayue> Such things are why I gave up windows
10:49:59 <jfkuayue> Unpredictable and irreasonable
10:53:26 *** dh1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
10:56:00 <_glx_> "cheap" usb printers tend to do that
10:58:20 <LordAro> crash issue described sounds like a driver crash
11:00:42 <_glx_> I would not be surprised if it's yet again intel display
11:08:58 <peter1138> It is Intel Xe, yes.

18:54:35 <locosage> hmm.. wonder if I should remove train group workaround not that there is `{RAW_STRING}`
18:55:18 <locosage> it's kludgy but I already have it working and it's probably gonna save some bandwidth and recording size
18:56:01 <locosage> maybe there should just be some generic string cache api to avoid sending raw strings every time
18:56:19 <locosage> and extra layer of indirection is handy sometimes as you can change string everywhere at once
19:32:35 <_zephyris> Oh, is there a known Intel Xe bug?
19:32:40 <_zephyris> Was just doing a crash report...
19:37:07 <truebrain> Intel drivers causing crashes. Shocker.
19:42:10 *** dh1 has quit IRC (Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
20:10:27 <_zephyris> I'm confused why it seems to new, haven't had a chance to backtrack to last working nightly
20:10:28 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
20:11:07 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
20:11:15 <_zephyris> The auto disabling GPU accel is good for users, makes it easier to miss when things start going wrong!
20:11:46 *** SigHunter has joined #openttd
20:15:08 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
20:19:02 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
20:20:27 <truebrain> It was added because Intel drivers kept on crashing on us 😄
20:26:57 <locosage> hm, content download speed like 100 kb/sec for me for some reason
20:33:59 <locosage> changing mouse style in opengfx2 parameters seems to change quite a lot of other stuff on the title screen...
20:34:38 <locosage> like some trees changing textures, roads gaining sidewalks, etc.
20:36:01 <locosage> oh, lol, nvm, I didn't realize it completely reloads the title game xD
20:36:32 <locosage> guess town funding runs out right after loading...
