I am not a tweaker. I like throwing expensive hardware at games, dragging the settings bars to ultra, and if a game doesn’t play well after that, move on to another. I’m not opposed to switching distros if they’re as easy to install as Mint.

Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•Linux gaming levels up as CachyOS beats Windows 11 in head-to-head testsEnglish1·4 天前Thanks. I’ll consider switching.
Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•Linux gaming levels up as CachyOS beats Windows 11 in head-to-head testsEnglish2·4 天前Space Marine 2, which was mentioned in the article, ran like butt on my Bazzite system several months ago. A recent conversation here that revealed others had no problem prompted me to install it again. I found it to run perfectly at ultra settings. I’m left wondering if I did something different, or if subsequent updates to Bazzite were related.
What made you switch?

Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Senators Ask Tulsi Gabbard To Tell Americans That VPN Use Might Subject Them To Domestic SurveillanceEnglish1·5 天前I see where I can change DNS for WiFi in iOS settings, but cellular requires an app. It sounds like VPN without the security?
If Verizon is throttling, would that be circumvented by a VPN connection?
Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Senators Ask Tulsi Gabbard To Tell Americans That VPN Use Might Subject Them To Domestic SurveillanceEnglish4·5 天前Used Ookla. Got 40 Mbit down off VPN, 2.25 on VPN.
Will continue using this in future tests. I don’t watch Netflix on my phone. I usually am browsing Lemmy, YouTube, or listening to Apple Music. Fast.com has been my indicator of why my speed is so slow off of VPN when using these services on cellular. While it might not be an ideal speed test, its results track with my connections performance with these services.
That is to say, at times I’ll find myself not on VPN, find that my videos are chugging, turn VPN on, and problem solved. I usually only turn it off if I’m on home WiFi.
Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Senators Ask Tulsi Gabbard To Tell Americans That VPN Use Might Subject Them To Domestic SurveillanceEnglish2·5 天前Dunno about where Charter was routing. Just knew it was a common best practice for users in my town to manually set their DNS to Google.
Charter became Spectrum and since then this hasn’t been a need.
So far as cellular goes, I don’t think I can manage my IP settings on the phone as one would on Windows. I already use VPN if I travel or use public WiFi, and learned that, holy shit, my speeds are far better while connected than not. So I stay connected almost all the time. It’s counter intuitive, but I can’t argue with the results.
Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Senators Ask Tulsi Gabbard To Tell Americans That VPN Use Might Subject Them To Domestic SurveillanceEnglish3·6 天前Routing. Back in the day, Charter customers experienced horrible download speeds using Charter’s DNS servers.
Switching to Google’s would result in far more reliable network speeds.

Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Senators Ask Tulsi Gabbard To Tell Americans That VPN Use Might Subject Them To Domestic SurveillanceEnglish81·5 天前I use VPN because it actually speeds up my connection on cellular. My theory is the DNS servers that Verizon uses in my area are inefficient, to the point where I’ll get 1 Mbit down on Verizon, but 100 Mbit down connected to Proton VPN.
It has nothing to do with security, unless I’m in a coffee shop on WiFi.
Edit: here are my speeds on cellular, first without VPN, second while connected to a server in Los Angeles.

Boiglenoight@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming MarketshareEnglish1·6 天前It’s a Logitech G29. I’ve read that other distros do not have this issue, that it’s something to do with Bazzite being an immutable operating system. Does Nobara have a gaming mode? I like Bazzite because it feels like Steam Deck.
