  • We went from a time where you had to rebuild your fucking kernel to get your graphics card to work and fucking around with Wine to get to a point where you nearly throw your PC out the window until you can get a little app to run to simply running apt install nvidia-driver-xxx and clicking on a button to make a Windows game run in Linux.

    I have fond memories of getting World of Warcraft working on Linux back in ~2008 only to realize it had an OpenGL mode that ran better than the DirectX mode I was trying - and failing - to get working.

    You aren’t wrong about kernel and driver shenanigans.












  • Not to be flippant, but you could have just stopped at Microsoft Teams running like ass as the problem is Microsoft Teams and its bloated, over-ambitious nature running in fucking Edge via WebView.

    Specific to your case, you seem to be referring to a video call - is Firefox using hardware acceleration? I seem to recall each video feed is its own transcode/render process so if that’s entirely on CPU, it could definitely wreck your performance.
