I think it’s a reference to light cones
The idea being that if you take relativity into account, everything is always moving “at the same speed”, it’s just something stationary is moving only in the time direction, and something moving in a spatial direction is therefore moving slightly slower in the time dimension.
I’ve heard this description before but I don’t think the math quite works out and it also doesn’t really explain why the speed of light is the speed limit.
The speed of light is one lightyear per year
Their Game Preservation Program (the thing the subscription is nominally for) is games that they maintain, so they probably do need to license them. And they do need a dev team to work on it, even if they do take advantage of things like existing community mods to make the job easier.
There’s a huge difference between making a PCB and a modern processor.
You have to gut the inside to make a jack-o-lantern, and I think I remember my mom cooking with that gunk from inside at least once or twice.
Prism Launcher shows up in flat hub (the “app store” that comes with Bazzite).
It manages different Minecraft instances of different versions, and helps manage mods, texture packs, shaderpacks, etc.
(But in general, all versions of Minecraft: Java Edition support Linux, and most if not all Minecraft launchers, including the official one, support Linux)
Yes Steam is the main tool Im using to run games, even non-Steam games.
Bazzite also comes with Lutris which will set up some wine wrappers for you, which work fine, but Steam gives you things like Steam Input. I’ve never seen a controller mapper as good as Steam Input.
I don’t know what the performance comparison between Valve’s Proton and current FOSS variants of Wine is.
My current workflow is to use Lutris to manage games from GoG (no GoG Galaxy on Linux). I install them via Lutris, and then add them as non-Steam games to Steam, which lets me use Proton and Steam Input. The only game I’ve installed so far that I’m not running through Steam right now is Minecraft.
The only loss is I can’t run Destiny 2 on Linux due to its invasive anti-cheat, but I was on the verge of quitting D2 anyway. Note that some games with invasive anti-cheat can still be run through proton, it depends on the specifics.
I’m trying out Bazzite, and although it does take a little tweaking sometimes, I haven’t encountered a game I can’t run yet, including features like HDR and DLSS.
Thanks I’ll look some of these up and maybe I’ll understand why people hate systemd
Windows was developed by a huge corporation for profit, and that drives enshittification, because eventually they have all the users they think they can get, so instead they start trying to milk those users for more $$$.
Linux is developed by a bunch of nerds who are doing it as a hobby, or because they weren’t happy with the other options. This type of group does not leas to enshittification.
I’m with you I don’t really get the hate for it, nor have I seen a suggested alternative.
I had the opposite problem when I was learning linear algebra. The professor kept things at the most abstract and generic level, which made it hard to understand what was going on, because it felt like everything was “the thing is defined as the thing”. I don’t think it fully clicked for me until I took another class that involved some actual numerical applications of those ideas.
Usually it is something like the eigenvectors represent stable states of the system, and other states will tend to be unstable until and decay into one of those stable states.
For example, the eigenvectors of the moment of inertia tensor represent “principle axes” of rotation, and these represent the possible stable axes of rotation (usually only one or two axes is actually stable, it depends on the object).
By analyzing principle axes of inertia, you can explain why a frisbee’s rotation is very stable around one axis but unstable around all other axes. And you can predict this kind of behavior for other objects.
Another example is in quantum mechanics, eigenvectors correspond to states that result after “measurement collapse” of the wavefunction, and are useful in various quantum mechanics problems, such as predicting the behavior of atoms, molecules, or semiconductors.
The largest eigenvector would be the most probable direction and velocity of the struck object after impact?
The size of the eigenvector doesn’t really matter, because if a vector is an eigenvector, scaling it (changing its length without changing the direction) will also result in an eigenvector. It’s the direction of the eigenvector that matters.
However, the eigenvalue does matter and often has real world implications, for example, it can help you determine which of the principle axes of rotation will result in a stable rotation .
An eigenvector doesn’t change direction when it is multiplied by the matrix, but it might change its length. The amount that length changes is the eigenvalue. vM=ev where M is a matrix, v is an eigenvector of M, and e is the corresponding eigen value.
When you multiply a matrix and a vector, you get a new vector. An eigenvector of a matrix means the output and input vectors are pointing in the same direction.
These are important for various real-world applications, but more explanation would probably have to be context specific.
Actually having different drives is insufficient to keep windows and linux, or multiple different linux install, from fighting over bootloaders lol.
I found an older version that sounded like it should be compatible on the OpenRGB webpage but it didn’t work. I suppose I should look further. Thanks for the tip!
It’s working for just setting static colors, but when I try to install plugins it doesn’t show up at all. I wanted to use HardwareSync and maybe Effects.
I’ve been doing my work in Linux for a while now. I’ve started trying out Bazzite for gaming. It’s been quite nice, but not without issues.
