I've never had this issue but it might be specific to the game you're trying, using gamescope might help.

Yeah, it's probably more about them not being locked in MS's ecosystem more than anything, but whatever the intention may be, everyone is benefiting from the results.

That's not all the context, though. GamersNexus made a video detailing it further. and a follow-up.

Warzone 2100 is a nice RTS, especially fun with friends

I couldn't find any indication of it being open source anywhere

Are you on NVIDIA?

Linus tech tips, despite having some criticisms, had a rather positive opinion of Linux as far as I can remember

Howdy

Interesting, it seems to address some of the security flaws F-Droid has; it would be nice to see where this project goes once it's a bit more mature

XMPP is a protocol for decentralised chats, allowing people registered on different servers to chat with people on other servers, kind of similar to how email works (and Lemmy of course).

Google Talk was a service by Google which started with XMPP support, letting users from other XMPP servers chat with Google Talk users. Google Talk was always slightly different from the XMPP standard, due to having proprietary code in its backend, leading to chats between Talk users working flawlessly but not between XMPP and Talk users. Slowly, Google Talk became more popular than the other servers.

Eventually, XMPP server-to-server support was removed as part of their transition to Hangouts, meaning once Talk users switched to it, XMPP users would no longer be able to chat with them and would have to switch to Hangouts. While XMPP still exists today, it's definitely a niche nowadays, and this is part of the reason.

Edit: proper paragraphs

That's how people thought it would have gone with XMPP and Google Talk, but that's not how it went at all
